SMILES.

To lubricate the wheels of
fate there's nothing like smile.
1t makes the going easy and
not up grade all the while. A
smiling face will do more good
than doctors dope and pills. 1t
puts the cheer in cheerfulness
and cures you of your ills. By
smiling you will catch the light
and mingle with the rays of our
old sun who knows no nights but
bright and pleasant days. Just
swing in line and can the blues
and smile and don't complain.
The clouds you'll find will clear
away and sunshine follow rain.
Not only will it do you good to
come through with smile, but.
all you come in contact with will
initiate your style, and thus true
happiness you gain, but in no
other way can you be truly
happy, SO Just try 1t for day,
and note the change it makes in
you and in the ones you meet
and watch the crouch hike in to
clear and discomfort retreat.
Success is smiles commercial
lied, they get you by for fair,
SO Join the brotherhood of smiles
your care. >7I C'.sStAA

SHARP ADVANCE
 ONC0TT0NM MARKET
Favorable Weather Report Fails to Bring Out Heavy
 Offerings

New York; June 7-There was a sharp advance in cotton duIdng today's late trading with October selling up from 12.S6c to 13.00c, or 3S points above the low level of last week and closing at 12.96c. The gebleral list closed steady, II to 15 points higher Rumors of fa- vorable war developments were circu- lating on the advance but appeared to be without confirmation and the de- mand was more generally attributed to covering or rather less favorable view of weather conditions, reports of a more active spot demand in the southwest, and the failure of the fa- vorable weekly weather summary to bring out heavier offerings.
 Liverpool was steady and the mar ket here opened firm at an advance of 6 to Il points. Liverpool was good buyer of July and October, but also seemed to be selling some January and March, which probably accounted for little irregularity right after the call, but after reactions of or points the market steadied up with ac- tive months selling to 12 points net higher. After the close abroad the vol ume of business tapered off and prices turned a shade easier in anticipation of the weekly weather report. July sold off to 12.72c and December to 13.02c, or back to within 2 or points of last nights cltsing, but the favorable weekly review seemed to have been discounted and the market firmed up again during the afternoon The in creased exports of goods from Great Britain for the month of May and a belief that easier freights would stimu- late the movement of raw material from this country probably encouraged the advance, while there was also some talk of unfavorably low temperatures and rather heavy rains at some points in the eastern and central belts. Prices reached the best point of the day in the late trading when July sold at |1285c and December to 13.16c. The close was a few points off from the best under realizing.

COTTON PRICES
 BULGE SHARPLY
Report of German Retreat Sends Prices Up and Mar
 ket Closed at Gain
By"HOp"

New Orleans, June 7.-After standu8 at small advance throughout the ses. sion today, cotton bulged rather sharply
 late in the afternoon on a rumor which was current on the exchange that the Germans were retreating from Verdun and the market closed at a net gain of II 10 F points. The highest levels were II to 14 points up. It was a day of mod crate trading, with the bulls having the best of it because of weather conditions. In the early afternoon the unexpected rise of points on spot prices gave them an added advantage.
 Around the opening the market was inclined to be better on the good cables and fear of too much rain over the belt The gain was held to points, however because of the lack of organized sup port from the long side The weekly weather reports were much more favor able than expected, but this was offset by wet weather ever the belt, rumors of a storm in the Carolinas and fear that the tornado had done considerable dam age in the north central section of the belt. At the middle of the day the mar ket was at it's lowest levels, a net rise of l to 3 points. In the afternoon the ad- vance was rapid within moderate lim- its,

POLITICS AFFECT
 STOCK MOVEMENT
Financial Community Fo- cussed Its Attention Upon
 Events at Chicago

New York, June 7.-1mpendng polti- cal developments were primarily respon- sible for the pronounced curtailment of speculative activity today, the financial community focusing it's attention largely upon events at Chicago. The programme of the two conventions were followed with far more interest than the irregular movements of stocks, some of which plainly suggested the futile energy of pools and cliques.
 In general, rails were strongest fea- lures and gave the market such founda- ton as it possessed Norfolk and Vest ern advanced 2Ss to the new high price of l31ss. Canadian Pacific, Soo. Illinois Central and Northern Pacific were tenn porarily better by l to points and read ing was the conspicuolus feature of the dull final hour showing an extreme gain of 4 points on free absorption to 1O5ss.
 Automobile stocks were under the ad- verse influence of additional liquidation, Chandler Motors scoring an extreme decline of 61a points with more moderate losses for Maxwels and Studebaker, and Willys-Overland
 Mercantile Marine preferred, the most active issue of the session, indicated the disappointment felt at the reputed terms of reorganization, but developed marked strength just before the close.
 There was no repetition of yesterdays S furry in call money, which was in free supply at 31a per cent.
 Bonds were firm with buoyancy in Nor folk and Western 41zs, at 1271a and a new high record for Marine 4Es at 1O5. Total sales of bonds 4(par value) aggregated $3,160,00O. United States bonds were un- changed on call.

interior, caused the final figures to show net advances of from 10 to II points.
 The action of the market for the past few days seems to prove that the market Is technically short. If it were not my argument is that it would have declined sharply under the bearish in fluences mentioned
 I find many spot dealers are inclined to be bearish, but believe this position to indicate they want to buy some cot ton.
 Usually if man has something to sell he talks the price up or. In other words. he is bull, and vice versa when he wants to buy he talks bearish be- cause he wishes to buy as cheaply as possible.
 Believe prices will gradually work higher and from my viewpoint all of the basic factors seem to favor the buying side. c. F. AVERY.

DRIVE ON WHEAT MARKET War News Affect Late Ses- sion of Market and Close
 Was Weak

Chicago, June 7.-Reports of German
 military reverses were taken as a pre-
 text for a selling drive today in the
 wheat market here. As a result the
 market closed weak, 1c to 1@1sc net
 lower, with July at s1.045s@1.0424 and
 September at $1.06ss. Corn finished at
 the same as yesterdays wind-up; oats
 lsc to 14c off, and provisions at an ad-
 vance of 20 to 571ac.
 War news appeared to have no effect
 on the wheat market until the last half
 hour of the session Then the bears seized on assertion that fortune had ap-
 parenty turned to an important degree in favor of the French and Russians
 Although current news dispatches hardly seemed to warrant differences of any radical change in the war status and nor- withstanding that recently British naval losses had caused a sharp decline in the wheat market, holders became nervous and there was decfded furry of sell ing as the day came to an end. Beneficial rains in the southwest tended noticeably to ease off the wheat market during the forenoon, but the eff feet had Teen more than overcome by midday, ewing to unfavorable crop re- ports from the northwest The late down turn in values received some ad- ditional impetus, no doubt, from the fact that hopes of .n improved export demand had failed to be realized. Corn showed more resistance to selling pressure than was the case with wheat. Signs that receipts would decrease from | now on appeared to be chief influence on the bull side. Oats showed evident sympathy with the bearish action of wheat. Favorable crop reports were the rule except from the south and south west.
 1 Frt visions were helped upward by a sharp advance in the lard market at | Liverpool Lower quotations here or l hogs were ignored.
