Should Organize
Baseball Team

Now is the time for the citi.
zens of Lennon to get busy on
the proposition of organizing a
ball team for the coming season.
This city has had a good reputa-
ton for a fast ball team for the
past few years and it should con-
tinue to have a team that is
among the best in the Tral S.
Missouri Empire.
A good deal of new material
mas arrived in the city during
the past few months, and with
few exceptions. the lineup of
last year is still intact. Wouldn' /
1t be a good idea for the fans to
get together and see what can be
done in the way Of a team for
the coming year? We do not
think it the wisest plan to go in
to the proposition quite as ex-
tensively as We did last year, but
to have strictly amateur team,
composed entirely of local men.
We are aware OF the shortage of
a battery. but that could be easi-
ly remedied as there are any
amount of fairly good pitchers
that would be willing to twiri
.tor US the coming season ia ex-
change for a good job. and with
the support that the Lennon
team can give. not much of a
pitcher is needed to trim most of
the surrounding towns.
1t is up 10 the fans and play
ers to get together and see what
shall be done. An organization
of some kind should be had and
the sooner We can get started
the better it will be.

COTTON ADVANCES
 NEARLY A DOLLAR
Refusal of Spot Holders to Trade Except at Advance
 Caused Comment

New Orleans. May 1.-Cotton was ad- vsnced almost s1 bale on this market today by buying stimulated by the fore cast of frost in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas and by the higher prices in the spot department. Trading was fairly ac- tive and the undertone throughout was firm. The opening was at an advance and in the first half hour of business prices were lifted 10 to IA points. The market was strongest late in the afternoon fol- lowing the quoting of spot prices 2 points up. which sent middling to 12c. At the best trading months were r to 20 points up; the close was Is to 21 up.
 While the weather over Sunday was warmer and more favorable and there was much talk of extensive planting, es- pecially in Texas, the chief interest from the start was the outlook for a fall in temperatures as the result of the cold wave now crossing the country. Political news was considered less favorable than last week. The refusal of spot holders tc trade except at the advance, excited much bullish comment and sellers were not willing to operate on the short side with the premimum of spots over futures showing tendency to widen.

New York, May 1,-Regardless of nu- merous weekend developments of an ad- verse character. chiefly to the increasing expansion of labor disturbances and the British defeat in the east, today's mar ket continued it's upward march. To be
 sure, an altogether disproportionate amount of the activity and strength was shown by a few special issues, Mercantile

 ture at new high records
 Combined dealings increased marine preferred and common amounted to 2S0,0o0
 shares, or about one-quarter of the
 whole. Aside from the fixed belief that the company's reorganization plan is soon
 to be issued and that it is likely to be acceptable to all interests. there was no news to account for the continued prom thence of these shares. Marine preferred
 made an extreme gain of 7sz points at 93 and the common 41a at 29A. Other
 shipping shares were strong, Pacific Mall

 minor equipments and industrials rising I1 to points. Mexicans were visibly i'm proved by reports of a reassuring nature
 regarding the course of negotiations with
 the de facto government. Mexican Pe-
 troleum rose 31s and American Smelting's s maximum gain was 21a.
 Rails were again a negligible factor until the final hour, when Reading led a general rise in that group, the movement deriving it's impetus from reports of settlement of the anthracite coal con- troversy. March statements of leading railway system were also of material as- sistance.
 Routine news included advices from leading railway centers, showing marked gains in tonnage movements over the same period of last year, further ex- pansion of book clearings and general merchandise operations and increased dividend disbursements by manufacturers of metal products.
 The lack of news regarding the German situation was considered favorable augury and the collapse of the Irish re- bellion was reflected ill the better tone of the international markets. | Bonds were steady but otherwise fea- tureless.

Avery's Letter

4 big spot demand, relief from freight embargos on eastern railroads large ex- ports, and bad weather were the causes for the advance in the cotton markets today, which resulted in marking prices up $l bale on near, and from l6 to F points on distant positions
 The demand for cotton seems to be in satiable. It was reported that 2OoO bales were sold in New Orleans on Sun day. All spot markets at both interior points and at the ports were marked up today from to 15 points, The latter advance being at Dallas.
 Seed for planting is reported to be sell ing at $1 per bushel or about $62 per ton, and exceedingly scarce at that. Where replanting will be necessary it is doubt full if it will be done at this price for seed and the land likely will lie out.
 Weather developments over Sunday were unfavorable. Cold, wet rains pre- vailed over Oklahoma and western Texas. The latter state reported the crop fully three weeks late. plant small and start poor and in many sections of south Texas the drouth never has been relieved. Cot ton can safely be bought on very mod crate setbacks. c. F. AVERY.

WHEAT OPENS HIGH
 AND TRADING ACTIVE
Market Received Strong Impetus on Adverse
 Crop Condition

Chicago, May 1.-Unseasonably cold,
 rainy weather that rendered certain a
 further curtailment of spring seeding led
 to sharply higher prices today in wheat
 No important reactions took place and the
 CT with May at s1.16% and July at s1.17B.
 Corn finished unchanged to 1zc higher;
 oats up Ac to 1c, and provisions with
 gains of 10c to 35c.
 Wheat opened sharply higher and a good deal more active than usual. Impetus to
 buy as a result of adverse crop condi-
 tions for seeding in the northwest had re- ceived strong emphasis from leading ex- porter who went on record with an opin- ion that the percentage of abandoned
 acreage in the spring crop belt would
 be even greater than in the winter wheat
 region. In addition the first of the month
 deliveries on May contracts here were
 somewhat smaller than many traders had
 expected. Assertions that the Kaiser was
 limiting at an early peace tended also to give rise to sentiment favoring the bull
 side of the market
 Realizing sales on the advance in wheat attained a broad volume at times but invariably met with enough new buying to prevent any lasting setback. In this connection some traders were disposed to attach significance to reports of an iIn- proved export demand and especially to
 purchasing on the part of agents of the British government.
 Corn responded to the wheat advance. Heavy profit taking by longs, however, operated as a decided offset. Oats de- rived their strength chiefly from the ac- ton of other grain. Nevertheless, much attention was given to gossip regarding possible squeeze of shorts in the May delivery.
 Provisions advanced to the highest lev el yet this season. Lower quotations on hogs were only temporary hindrance. Deliveries on May contracts were light and this circumstances, together with peace talk, led to an active general de- mand.

MARKET CONTINUES
 ITS UPWARD MARCH
Stock Exchange Shows Ac- tivity-Marines Feature
 at New High Record

New York, May h-Reports of un- favorable weather conditions in the south and of continued irmness in the spot markets seemed responsible for a more active buying movement in the cotton market today and there was a sharp advance in prices. July contracts sold up to 12.3oc, the highest level reached since that delivery touched 1144c on the break of last February, and the general list closed firm at a net gain of Is to IT points for the day.
 The early cables were somewhat dis appointing, but Liverpool soon firmed up, presumably on reports of unseason- able temperatures in the belt, and alt CT opening unchanged to points high CT the local market developed increas- ing strength Liverpool was light seller of January and March here, but bought July and October freely, sup posedly to undo old straddles, and the firm tone of the stock market was ac- comnanied by considerable Wall street buying, probably for both accounts. New Orleans was also a buyer here, while leading trade interests continued free buyers of July, and about the only contracts for sale seemed to reflect realizing by old longs on scale up. These offerings were sufficient to cause reactions of ? or points during the early afternoon, but were very readily absorbed and the high point was reached in the late trading when May sold at 12.15c and October at 12.40c, or 15 to IS points net higher. Closing prices were within point or two of the best. International poll tics naturally came in for more or less discussion around the ring, and some read the days news less favorably, but if they were an influence on the market it seemed to be in the way Of restricting demand on the bullish weather and crop conditions. Not many advices were received here from the south during the day. but there were scattering reports of good spot de- mand and complaints that low temper atures and cold rain were causing fur ther delays in germination. The offi- cial forecasts were for unsettled weather and lower temperatures in the eastern belt, while frost was expected ill parts of the western belt. Weather conditions from now on will be studied with view to their bearing upon first official crop reports, due on June 1, and the tendency to scale down esti- mates of the acreage was probably a factor today.
