STOCK MARKET |S OPTIMISTIC AND
 PRICES ADVANCE
War Shares, Led By Steel, Make New Records and Rails Show Strength
 Throughout

New York, June 10.-Events of last week seemed to warrant the sustained optimism manifested in stock market circles The trend was almost steadily upward.
 War shares rose to higher quota tions of the year and in such issues as United States Steel and the Bethle- hem steels all previous records were surpassed. Rails were the last of the representative stocks to move, rising II to almost 3 points immediately after publication of the government crop report.
 The last week but one of the liberty more formidable proportions; the movement receiving additional momen- tum from the response to the govern ment's call for war registration.
 Time and call loans ruled at recent levels, but firmer tendencies are likely to manifest themselves with the ap- proach of the mid-year.
 Announcement of the arrival of American warships and military off cers in the foreign war zone was re- ceived with widespread satisfaction This served largely to offset latest com- plexities in the Russian condition, a condition which found instant reflec- ton in the further impairment of ru- bles and Russian government bonds.
 Revival of activity in various lines of trade was attributed to the more Isasonable weather.

Cotton Goods Review

New York, June 10.-The pressure of appears to be having an uncontrolla- ble influence upon prices. Many sta ples are up half cent a yard since last week, while others are up a full 71a per cent. Staple ticlsings have been advanced 21ac yard, some wide sheetings Dc yard. some construc- tions of print cloths 4 and some bleached goods lines 1c. Retail distri- button is still subnormal, although prices are not at all on parity with the high values current in producing centers. To facilitate the equitable dis. tribution of cotton goods orders among mills the committee on cotton indus- tries cooperating with the council of national defense has opened a head ouarters in the cotton goods selling district in charge of one of the lead ing merchants and it is hoped that it will soon be possible to stimulate pro- ducion without further disorganlz- ing the prices asked for merchandise for civilian needs.

Steel Companies Make Big Purchases of Basic Mate rial to Fill Increasing
 Orders

New York, June 1o.-Large steel com
 panies in the Pittsburg district have
 purchased heavy tonnages of steelmaking
 pig iron and of scrap steel to be used in both open hearth and in blast fur naces. The unusual activity caused ex-
 citement among selling interests and re- | suited in an advance of 8 to s per ton
 in prices of pig iron and of scrap.
 The United States Steel corporation
 alone purchased nearly 90000 tons of old
 material and the Jones & Laughlin Steel | company took 400O0 tons of the 75,O00 tons of Bessemer iron sold. Bessemer iron
 advanced from s46 to $50 per ton and fur | naces are now asking $53 or higher. Basic
 iron sold at s42 to $4 and some small lots brought $46 at valley furnaces; pro- ducers are now asking s4S to $50 per ton at the furnace.
 More than half of the total sales made in the country were for delivery in the Pittsburg district. The Louisville and
 Nashville railroad made some purchases of southern iron.
 The government placed orders for 9ooo
 tons of cast iron pipe and 40Oo tons of AA@A'S0 pAp0 AietAss TOT army canton- ments. The United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company advanced

BOTH CONTRACT AND SPOT COTTON SEEK HIGHER LEVEL
Situation Growing In Statis- tical Strength and New Crop Outlook Is Not
 Favorable

New Orleans, June 10.-Although there
 were only four trading days in the cot
 ton market here last week, the changes
 were important, both spots and con-
 tracts being lifted to new high levels
 for the season. The highest prices were
 reached practically on the close. At the
 topmost levels active months were 109
 to 119 points over the previous week s
 final quotations, a rise of almost ex-
 actly $6 bale on the strongest month.
 which traded up to 2292c the highest quo
 tation ever seen on the contract boards
 here. The close showed net gain for
 the week of 1O6 to 116 points.
 The rise was based primarily on the
 growing statistical strength of the situa- ton, coupled with continued unsatisfac- tory outlook for the new crop.
 Shorts were driven to cover at a loss,
 especially toward the close of the week, when they were demoralized by the fail ure of expected selling to appear as the result of realizing on the long side. The most prominent feature of the last two
 sessions of the week was the scarcity of contracts and because of this very moderate demand served to bring about wide advances.
 Political news was considered favorable, the British successes in France, the bet ter tone of Russian reports and the sue cessful arrival of General Pershing and his staff in England all contributing tc the strength. of the market

Tomato Worm Control

Auburn, June 10-(Special) )-Probab ply more tomatoes are being grown in Ala bama this year than in any previous year. The control of the tomato worm is therefore more important than ever before Dr. Hinds, entomologist of the Alabama experiment station. gives the following information relative to the con- trol of this worm.
 The most common and destructive 1n- sect enemy of tomatoes in early sum- mer is the so-called tomato fruit worm. The species is scattered throughout the world and feeds upon very large variety of both cultivated and wild food plants. Here in the south we are most familiar with this worm in the ears of corn where it is known as the roasting ear worm. In the earlier stages of corn the same spe- cies bores into the the heart of the plant and is often called bud worm or tassel worm. After the corn natures the moths lay their eggs commonly on cot ton and there the species is known as the cotton boil worm.
 On tomatoes the eggs are laid by the parent moths upon leaves and stems of plants. The worms feed to a consider able extent upon foliage before finding their way to the young fruit, but the principal damage is caused by the worms attacking the fruit. The worms also com monly bore into the stems Damage to to-
 matoes is usually most severe in the early
 part of the season, and later generations are more common upon corn, cotton, etc.
 The control of this worm on tomatoes can best be secure by the following methods:
 First pick off all worms and worm eaten fruit whenever found, being cer- tain of destroying both worms and fruit so as to prevent the continued develop ment and spread of the worms and of the fungi which causes the rotting of the fruit Do not permit the rotting fruit to remain in the field as the rot will spread rapidly to much of the other fruit. The second and most important step Is then to spray the tomato plants thor oughly with Bordeaux mixture to which is added powdered arSenate of lead al the rate of one and one-half pounds pei 50 gallons of Bordeaux. It is best tc use short extension rod with an angle nozzle for this spraying so that the spray can be drected upward under the plants reaching the under side of the fruit a: well as settling upon it.
 | This should control the worms within | a few days If they continue, however l to appear in destructive numbers, repea | the spraying in about 10 days.
 | This spraying treatment will contro | also the so-called tomato worm, or horr
 worm. and the striped blister bettle whicf are frequently common upon this plant | Directions for preparing Bordeaux mix l ture and for securing arsenate of lead | etc, may be obtained from the count, demonstration agent or from the expert
 ment station at Auburn.

MUCH SUGAR WASTED

According to the American Sugar
Bulletin there is wasted daily in the
United States 100000 pounds of
sugar daily. They explain the waste
in this manner: Probably half of
those who use it in tea, coffee or
cocoa put more in the cup than is
stirred into the drink and we find
a coating of undissolved sugar in
the bottom of the cups" With sug-
ar prices going higher this waste
should be eliminated. Think what
this would mean, a saving of 100,-
