VIM. LEvERToN KILLED
IN PORTLAND MINE

WIN. LeVertOn, formerly of RUSSELL
Gulch, was instantly killed by falling
down the shaft at the Portland mine
in the Cripple Creek district last
Friday morning.
Mr.. Leverton was employed at the
collar of the Portland shaft as Gag
er, whose duty it is to tram off load
ed cars from ascending cages and re-
turn empty cars. The shaft has three
compartments, two OF which are for
the transmission of ores, each com
partment protected by railing and
gateways. When cage has descend
ed, 1T is the duty of the eager to
close the gate to guard against ac-
cidents. Cage No. / had been re-
i lieved of its load and was descend
ing, when cage No. 2 came to the
top, and this load was also taken
from the cage, but in replacing the
empty. Mr.. Leverton, for some un-
accountable reason, drew it into No
l compartment, whose gate had not
been closed, and he was hauled into
sPuS1s .lic SdE ldliiuS dlttT uiIl ICi
some 10 feet, when it was wedged
among the timbers. His body fell

of the cage with life extinct when
found.

Offerings were very slender. and small buying orders had an effect out of all proportion to their volume. Late in the day shorts became nervous over the persistent rumors that Italy had become involved In the war and their demand for covers caused firming up throughout the list.

RENEWED F|RMNESS
 IN COTTON MARKET
Small Supply of. Contracts Sends Cotton Prices
 Upward

New York. May M.-Cotton showed renewed firmness today with prices work ing about s2.5o per bale above the low level of last week on further covering and fresh buying which seemed to be chiefly inspired by the reports of rela- lively steady spot markets and the very small supply of contracts. The close was firm at a net advance of from l5 to 20 points.
 The opening was 1 to points lower and active months sold about to points ret lower during the early trading in response to relatively easy cables and some realizing by yesterdays buyers Otherwise there appeared to be very lit tie cotton for sale, however, and the mar ket soon became firmer. The un- settled weather reported in the southwest was offset to some extent by the Weekly forecast calling for clearing conditions II, that section over Sunday and the upward movement seemed less the result of any special feature in the days news, than of strengthened technical position and the absence of sellers. General business was very quiet. although covering seemed to become little more general as prices were about 9.99c for October contracts. Closing prices were within a point or two of the best, Expectations that Italy would enter the war seemed largely re- sponsible for the local covering move ment, while some the Wall street buying was probably promoted by the steady early ruling of the stock market. Judging from the talk around the ring, local trad CTS do not generally consider that previous weather conditions in the southwest have caused any immediate damage and there were reiterated predictions today of a faVora hls condition renort from fha oo,. ernment on June 1.

Foreign affairs were more than ever a factor of importance the news that Italy had vir- tually decided to align herself with the allies being accepted as a foregone con clusion.

WHEAT MARKET IN
 UNSETTLED STATE
Bulls Hold Reins for Awhile-Close Is
 Unsettled

Chicago. May ao.--Chances of black rust tended today to make wheat advance, but the nearness of a declaration of war by Italy formed something of check on the bulls. The market closed unset tied, Ssdi1i&c above last night. Corn fin- ished with net gain of 1saa4diac 'oats varying from a shade off to isc up and provisions at rise of 10 to 321hc. Corn responded to the wheat bulge and to the fact that the weather had become little adverse.
 Tn oats the smallness Of country offer ings frightened the May option. On the other hand suspicious crop reports weak ened the later months.
 Italy's probable entrance upon war had exactly the opposite effect in the pro- vision market than was the case con corning wheat Provisions went sharply higher owing to belief that heavier ex- port demand would result.
