Potatoes. brought in from the rail-

city, are dumped into a trough through
which water flows. and borne along
and up to a height of some eight feet
over winding screw This process
removes most of the surface dirt. From
the height they fall into an ingenious
machine that pecls them with great
exnctitudc. and from this they pass
through another water-filled trough to
where women stand with knives and

After the hand work is finished the
potatoes once more go into a trough
that fairly boils with water. constant

somewhat similar process goes on with
the vegetables. They too, are washed.

Sugar Market

New York, May l7.--The local market for raw sugar was easier today, but trading was again quiet with the only business reported sale of 17,000 bags of Porto Ricos to a Boston refiner at 6.27c for centrifugal eff delivered Boston. Otherwise trading was lifeless, and while holders were offering Cuban sugars at 51a cents for May and even June shipment, it was thought possible that some sugars might be purchased at l 1-16c under this level. But refiners, who do not seem in urgent need of supplies, were again disposed to hold off and await develop ments. In the absence of new pusIness spot prices remained nominally unchanged at 51a cents for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 6.52c for centrifugal, and 5,75c for molasSes.
 In refined there were moderate with drawals on old contract with new busi- ness light and prices unchanged at 765c to 7.75c for fine granulated.
 Futures were easier, reflecting the more liberal offerings in the spot market and prices showed a slight setback under scattered liquidation. closing 545c; Sep tember, 5.55c to 54Sc, closing 5,50c; De- cember, sole to 5.00c, closing 6.0oc.

BUYING MOVEMENT

Outside Buying Stimulated By Large Purchases of
 Spot Interest.

New Orleans, May 17.-Cotton ad- vanced moderately on this market to- day on what looked like a resumption of the buying movement which featured trading last week. Leading spot inter- ests were credited with large purchases and outside buying was stimulated. At the best of the day trading months were 15 to 1e points over yesterdays s last prices. The close was at a net rise of II to 12 points.
 The market opendd at the advance, rising to points in the first half hour of business, notwithstanding poor cables The trade considered tempera- lures in the western belt were too low Offerings were slender and small buy ing brought improvement. The market became dull and prices fell off to about the level of yesterdays close, afteer which the tone was strengthened in an- ticipation of bullish weekly crop and weather reports. Good support was given from then on.
 Bearish traders considered the week ly crop reports much better than eex- pected, but no selling of consequence resulted. The market was quiet, but very steady in the afternoon.

PRICES ADVANCE ON COTTON MARKET Revival of Peace Rumors Cause Renewal of Buy
 ing.

New York, May 17-A less favorable view of weather conditions and a revival of peace rumors were followed by re- newal of more or less general buying in the cotton market today. July contracts sold up to 1310c, or back to within points of last weeks best level, and closed at 1307c, with the general list closing steady at a net advance of 10 to 16 points.
 Liverpool was hardly up to expecta- tons, but the market here opened steady at an advance of 1 to points. Houses with Liverpool connections were good buyers, particularly of July, while do- mestic trade interests were also active buyers of that position. General business was rather quiet at the start, but the strength of the near months seemed to encourage scattering demand for later deliveries and the market soon became active The failure of the weather map to show hoped-for showers or rains in Georgia doubtless contributed to the ad- vance, while there were also reports that the rains in the Carolinas had only par tially relieved the drouth. The talk around the ring on the advance was more of peace prospects than new crop condi- tions, however, and after showing net advance of about 15 to l9 points, the buying movement seemed to be checked by the publication of the weekly weather report, which indicated that the crop had improved during the week, except in drouthy sections.
 In addition to the Liverpool and domes- tic trade buying, there was good dea! of demand during the early trading at tributed to covering by recent sellers for q reaction, while bulish traders who had taken profits last week were credited with placing part of their contracts.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 17.--In Liverpool the demand from Manchester maintains a premium of over half cent on July August over October November. while here October is selling at a small pre- mium over July, due largely, in both instances. to the large supply in Amer lea and the small supply of cotton in Liverpool
 Wall street and the west are now the largest holders of cotton with our local trade bullish, believing that these speculative holdings will maintain the price at present high levels until the advent of peace. regardless of supply or of the prospects of a large crop. The buying from these sources was based on these theories taking over a large amount of long cotton which has been distributed during the past two or three days. Tonight the sentiment is bullish.

Russian Bread Is Bitter

From I1t-Blts.
 While Britain continues to supply her soldiers in the field with the white wheaton bread to which they are accus- toner here at home. all the other nations who are at war, our allies as well as our enemies, have adopted a different sys- tenn as regards this staple article of diet.
 The German army bread. for example, contains a considerable admixture of rye and potato flour, and is nearly black in color, as is also that supplied by their own commissariat department to our Bel gian allies. It must not be inferred, however. that eating of such bread is any hardship. On the contrary. both the German and the Belgian soldier prefers

WHEAT DEPRESSED
 ON PEACE REPORTS.
Restraint Put on Buyers and Market Closes Con-
 siderably Off.

Chicago, May 17.--Discusaion of peace chances had considerable effect today in bringing about lower quotations in wheat. The market although steady at the close was Sc to %@1c down with July, s1:1eIs@1.165s; September. s1.1s7s. Corn finished hc to MQa4c up oats unchanged to Mc off and provisions varying from the same as yesterdays finish to a de- cline of 10 points.
 Peace talk showed it's market influ- ence in the main through the evident re- straint put upon buyers of wheat. Not withstanding that crop experts were all most unanimous in sending word of seri- ous damage from Hessian fly such ad- vices appeared to receive but little at tention as compared with what has re- gently been the case. Instead the fail- ure of foreign exchanges to respond to yesterdays advance in American mar kets was treated as of greater signifi- canoe was generally coupled with re- ports that purchases at Liverpool had become nervous over vague rumors as to peace.
 Bears in wheat were disposed to en- phasize the opinion that the damage from Hessian fly had about reached the maxi mum for this session. Gossip was cur rent also that the injury to the winter wheat crop would stimulate spring wheat farmers to push seeding as late as pos sible. Sales of 100000 bushels of Manitoba wheat to Holland did not seem to arouse the slightest enthusiasm in the bulls.
 Corn developed firmness owing to rne fact that the country offerings were light. Besides shipping demand was said to have improved. Oats were steadied by export sales of 250,0 900 bushels at the sea board. Chop reports continued unfavor- able from the southwest, but good from the central states.
 Provisions averaged lower on account of a sharp downturn in the value of hogs. Rallies at times were prompted by rumors of peace and by assertions that 100000 pounds of lard had been disposed of the Belgian relief.

Ayery's Letter

Very firm and steady is a good descrip- ton of the tone of todays cotton mar ket.
 Prices opened unchanged from last n ight's close, but showed an advancing tendency from the start. The impetus was the cold weather in Texas with tenn peratures reported at some points close to freezing. Damage by hail was also re- ported.
 l received the following information in regard to Georgia fertilizer sales this morning for this year. compared with 1915 and 1914: Fertilizer, 66O, ,5S0 tons, 1916, compared to 715,369 in 1915 and 1210,6S5 in 1914; meal, 59,02S tons in 19l6 compared to 67,o45 in 1915 and 64,H1 in 1914
 On the value of plant food constituents in fertilizer sold this year, the report says they are less than ever known in the history of the fertilizer industry in that state.
 The market is in a technical position favorable to another advance. Favor the July option. c. F. AVERY.
