Mayor Simon Bloom officiated yes terday as foreman of the street de- partment whle the street foreman, Leonard Carver. Police Judge ]. B Stewart and Cfllecton w. V. Hut. went fishing for the day
 The trio had not taken day off in many moons. There was nothing doing in tho collectors office, and the police judge had held the morn ing session, with blank docket for the afternoon.
 J The six teams of the street depart thent were engaged in grading and improving the dirt streets, and the mayor superintended their operations.
 He put in good long day on the supervision of the work and made a big charge in the appearance of Ash street, which is being graded from Thirteenth to Eighteenth. The street is being graded and the drain age improved so that the water runs off as fast as it hits the street or the gutters.
 All of the intersecting sncets from Cherry to the city limits, between Thirteenth and Eighteenth are to be graded. When the work has been completed the drainage will be all that could be desired, and the sanitary conditions greatly improved.

FINE EXHIBIT FROM
 GIRLS CANNING CLUB
Mrs. Critz Receives Jar of Tomatoes Put Up by Misses HOoker-HOw
 They Received Instructions.

Mrs. Lucy Critz, canning club agent for Jefferson county, was delighted to receive visit from Misses Ruby and Rosa Hoker of Hooker, who arc members of a girls canning club at that place. They brought with them a quart of tomatoes put up in glass jar, which looked like prize articles or exhibits for county fair.
 The exhibit for such it really is, would reflect credit upon house. wife of years standing, who has been in the habit of putting up tomatoes with the movement to have great patriotic demonstration in October, this specimen indicates that the girls of Jefferson county will make an eX ceedingly creditable showing.
 Mrs. Critz related an interesting in- cident connection with the club at Hooker. tho repetition of which may prove profitable.
 It was to the effect that cousin of the Misses Hooker came to her office and obtained the information pertain ing to canning and preserving. The information was conveyed to the Misses Hooker, who followed direc tions and the result has been well stocked pantry with home-canned fruits and vegetables.
 Mrs. Critz also reported that the campaign has borne very good fruit among the colored people. She spoke of one particular instance in which a color>d woman and he'd daughter put up 75 half-gallon jars of tomatoes. Numerous instances wherein colored women have put up sufficient ouant- ity of canned goods to last through the winter could be related.
 Mrs. Critz went to New Gascony yesterday to talk to the girls of her canning club in that ncighborhood, and will go to Double Wells today. It had been her purpose to go to Double Wells yesterday, but the heavy rain Monday disarranged her program for the early part of the week.
 Miss Helen S. Brown of Little Rock, United States district agent for the southeastern part of the state, did not come down from the capitol to visit the Watson Chapel club Monday morning. It is probable she went to Stuttgart, as it was expected she would go to that section this week.

New York Market.

New York. July THE cotton mar
ket was rather nervous and irregular
today after the big advance of late
yesterday. The opening was 25 points
higher TO five points lower near the
close, relative firm on a renewal of the
buying movement, promoted talk of a
better spot demand and diminishing To-
cal stocks, while later deliveries felt
the influence of weekly crop reviews
The weather map, however, showed
generally fair weather in the southwest,
where rains still are needed in some
sections, and the general list was steady
after the call, with October selling at
26 .O6, and January at 1924, or 6 to 21
points net higher.
Trading was comparatively quiet and
the buying was attributed partly TO
covering on the prospects for continued
dry weather in the southwest over Sun
day.
Realizing became more active during
the middle of the session with active
months breaking 1S to 16 points under
last nights closing figures. After sell
ing at 25.72 for October and 25.95 for
January, however, the market steadied

Every session of the board of trade

Chicago Market.

Chicago, July 7.--Active buying on
the part of commission houses sent the
corn market upward again today. Rail
road advices covering a large section OF
important producing states were to the
effect that the growing crop was fully
two weeks late. This fact. together
with knowledge that there is virtually
no stock Of corn on hand in Chicago,
tended TO give renewed strength to the
market. Opening quotations, which
ranged from the same as yesterdays
finish to ~ higher, with September at
S1.55 10 S1.55h and December at S114h
TO $1.16l, were followed by gains all
