LEWINE'S QUALITY
 SHOP BRANCHES OUT
Extensive Improvements Being Made and Millinery Department
 Being Installed,

Extensive rebuilding and remodel ing operations are under way at the Levine Quality Shop, where handsome and commodious wall cabinets are be- ing installed, and where a big milli- nery department is being established.
 The rear half of the establishment is being included in the work. The cabinets, about two feet deep and six feet high, are being placed along both side walls, and will be equipped with the modern sliding doors. Some of the cabinets will have shelves and stands, upon which the millinery will be displayed, while the others will be equipped with hangers, to hold the suits, dresses and other wearing ap- parel. The new and enlarged miIli- nery department, however, will be the feature of the store after the work is completed.
 A skylight has been cut into the ceiling at the rear of the store which will supply ample lighting facilities so that the millinery, clothing and other articles may be examined under the very best of conditions. The work will be under way about a week, ac- cording to the proprietor, Harry Levine.

New York Cotton.

New York, May 1.-The cotton
 market opened steady at an advance
 of 1@4 points today and sold about
 7@13 points higher during the early
 trading, with July advancing to 13.04c
 and October to 13.10c. Liverpool was
 rather disappointing, but the weather
 map failed to show the expected rains
 in. Georgia, while reports from the C rolinas indicated that some sections Ire were still drouthy, and fresh busing seemed to be encouraged by more optimistic views of peace pros pects. Some of yesterdays sellers on the more favorable weather were cov- ering on the advance while there was an active demand for July, which came partly from trade sources.
 { Liverpool was also an active early
 buyer of July, and the demand be-
 came more general as prices worked higher. with July selling up to 13.10c
 and October to 13.19c late in the morning, or about 15@19 points net hipher on the general list. There was Erebuving by Wall street bulls, who Ihad taken profits last week, as well las considerable covering by recent ssellers for reaction, but the market knet realizing. at the higher level and fprices sagged off few points from 6he best after the publication, of the Weekly report. Trading was less active during the early afternoon, with prices ruling &round 13.14c for October or about 5 |boints above last nights closing fig hres.
