Flayorinp for Desserts

q should like to give one hint. In cook ing almost any dessert I use nutmeg in- stead of vanilla, It is cheaper and gives a more delicious flavor J. s. M"
 Let me subjoin scrap of information anent this same nutmeg, which cannot be surpassed for spiciness. It is a trihe strong for delicate stomachs, and it is well in such cases to substitute ground mace. As we all know, this is the outer sheath of the nutmeg, and has it's frag- rant flavor but in milder degree. There is no pungency about it and it is more easily digested

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. April 12.-Cables were higher again this morning, but the Liverpool market was a seller here, so
 that the improvement abroad had lit-
 tie influence. The tendency of freight and insurance rates to advance again
 is gradually widening the difference
 once more between the markets. Here there was further southern selling on
 a moderate scale of the fall months and some liquidation from Wall street
 in the summer positions. probably due to the renewed uncertainty in regard
 to our foreign relations. The demand for Mays from the spot houses against
 sales to domestic spinners reported a quiet market through most of the day, but in the afternoon the liquidation gradually brought about a decline of some 10 points from yesterday at which the market closed. The first weekly weather report of the season. issued at noon. called attention to the cold weather of last week but had little in- fluence, as such conditions are not ab- normal in early April.
 Today's map showed seasonable tenn peratures over the entire belt

means they are short of goods. Sold un- spun cotton short Make them pay you for 1t. They are getting the highest price for prints and other textiles since 1909
 Is there any reason cotton farmers should not share in these profits? Any increase in acreage this year is a big mistake. Those that have increased have not only hurt themselves but their neighbors as well. The only way to offset any increase is to market your remaining supply very carefully and sell only on the bulges and then only when absolutely necessary
 The situation in cotton is another verdun. If you stand through this May notice day period you have them beat, for they don't dare try these tactics in July. c. F. AVERY.

Ayery's Letter

Pessimism was the keynote in the stock market this morning. Over what the news of the day failed to disclose. This influence was reflected in the cotton market, which seemed to sag all day. The weekly weather was about a standoff. It reported cotton was killed in south Texas by the recent cold wave. but it also said planting was nearing completition in the ex- treme southern portion of Texas.
 wire from San Antonio, Tex, characterized this latter statement as ..ridiculous.'' It stated further very little had been planted in the San Antonio section and very much less further south.
 There is no question but what those who are interested will use all the pressure possible on the May option to break spot prices in the south. They have two ends in. view in this effort They are short of both contracts and spot cotton. If they can break spots, futures will decline. If they don't, they have sold themselves into hole. Don't help them out of their hole by single concession in spot prices. You have them beat and not only will maintain the price now but dominate it for the future. Spinners sold ahead to 1917
