Pig Clubs Add To Pork Supply.

The $4,000 members, of the
boys and girls pig clubs, says a
recent publication of the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture, will produce at least 10, 00O,-
900 pounds of dressed pork this
year, if their work is comparable
to those whose members make
complete reports last year. This
work is judged to be extremely
important in meeting the war;
time demand for increased food.
The pig-club work has spread
rapidly until practically every
State is doing more or less of it
as part of the general club work.
Swenty-one States have pig. club
agents employed in cooperation
with the Animal Husbandry Div
ison and the States Relations De-
partment of Agriculture.
In view Of the great success at
tending the work thus far, and
because of the great need Of in
creasing the production of pork
and pork products, the depart
ment is seeking to enroll 200, 900
boys and girls as Junior soldiers
of the commissary" for 1918. tits
expected that every boy who can
do so will raise one or more pigs
for Uncle Sam and thus finnish
the meat supply for a soldier.

Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans, October 14-There were momentous developments over the holi- days. Germany has signified acceptance of the Presidents terms. but Washing ton asks that people withhold judgment and go slow until the President gets the formal reply and decides upon further steps. Meanwhile the government lays more stress upon supporting the Liberty Loan.
 Liverpool 20 up on near to IA down on distant positions, suggests waiting sus- pense. On any definite indications of a termination Of the war, Liverpool would decline in anticipation of larger shipping and supply, while our markets would re- spond to the outlook for increased de- mand and outlet
 Opinion this morning was confused over the immediate situation, but mar ket opened unchanged to a little lower, but soon optimistic trend based on war news and feeling that decisive victory or peace are approaching, ruled the trad ing and a good advance followed to 30.30c for December.
 Covering demand from shorts and a growing anticipative demand were trad ing features. Many believe that the first results of practical peace would be demand for futures by the mills in order to quickly secure a basis of supply. The action of the stock market with further advance in standard stocks reflected on cotton.
 Washington advised that tho Septem- Der consumption report would not be published today.

GOVERNMENT BEING IN MARKET CAUSES IA B|G JUMP IN CORN
Extreme Gains of 10 5-Sc to II 1-Sc Are Recorded on the Chicago Board of Trade

Chicago, October 14.-Sudden notice that the United States government would be free buyer of corn gave a whirlwind upward sweep of 10ss0111sc today to the corn market. Transient weakness which values had shown as a result of the German answer to President Wilson's in- qulries went into complete eclipse. The finish of trading was strong at nearly the topfprices of the session. with No- Vember at $1.21 to S12115 and December $1.1SA to 1.16a4, gain of 5Ac to 7skc. compared with the close on Friday. Oats finished Pc to 2ssc up, and provisions up soc to $1.
 Rallies from sharp declines with which the corn market had opened were well in progress when a half hour after the beginning Of business. the secretary of the Board of Trade appeared in the gal lery of the exchange hall far above the hundreds of brokers in the pits. and made public the intention of federal of ficials to purchase large amounts of corn for November and December delivery
 Instantly there was wild rush on the part of the crowd to follow suit. The greater part of the advance of about Il cents from the bottom figures took place in the hext five minutes
 Then came numerous quick successive breaks and bulges, with the general up- ward tendency, however, not interrupted except for brief intervals. Throughout the day, investors as well as shorts took hold in eager fashion. Jumps in oats and provisions were due wholly to the action of corn.

ELEVEN
Russia Before tne Revolution

The Rev. Francis F.. Clark founder of the Christian Endeavor society, gives in the Christian Herald this personal ex+ Eerience which taught him how tight the ecclesiastical reins were drawn just be- fore the war:
 T was asked to address a little Chris tan Endeavor gathering at Riga on the Baltic. Knowing that there might be difficulty in securing permission to speak, applied for such permission from Petrograd Cthen St. Petersburg) through our ambassador. Hon. Curtis Guild, for merly governor of Massachusetts. Mir. Guild was a personal friend, and did his utmost to secure permission for mo to speak on a purely religious theme to this humble little gathering of young Christians. Time after time he visited the foreign office, but was put off with one excuse after another,
 At last the hour of the meeting arr rived and still permission had not been granted. The Endeavorers were on their knees praying that the meeting might be allowed and I might have leave to speak since I had come so far. Just at the last minute a telegram was hand ed In which, in effect. said that, though formal permission could not be granted. I might go on with my address, pro- vided the police of Riga did not ob- Ject."

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October 14.-The tendency in cotton today was toward higher levels. although there were periods of reces- sion and at time the tone was barely steady Military news was considered decidedly bullish, but uncertainty was felt regarding the diplomatic end of the situation, and it caused much of the selling by some of which was for the account of longs who were liquidated On some of the hard spots, especially early in the day the market felt hedge selling The net change for the ses- sion was rise of 15 to 25 points.
 The first call saw a loss of to points on the nearer months but the distant months were slightly higher and after the call strong bulge came about which carried the list of active months 7 to es points over Fridays close. This was the highest of the day.
 The ring became quiet by the middle, of the morning and from then on 1t had A sagging movement and at one tme nearly the whole of the advance was lost. The demand increased somewhat iust before the close, but the spirited trading of the early hours was not re- neated the market in the afternoon nav ing assumed much of a waiting atti- tuda because of the expected utterancs from Washington
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-15

New Orleans October 14.-A bullish construction having been placed upon Germany's reply to President Wilson's re- cent inquiry as to details of the enemy $ peace proposals it was reflected in a sharp advance this morning, but as it was doubtful if the proposals would lead to peace at the present time, nearly all of the early advance was lost later in the session.
 t Washington press advices are to the effect it is likely President Wilson will ter. but nothing definite has been given out as yet regarding the next step the American government will take. Mean time the allies continue to make favor able progress on all fronts and 1t is probable that if peace does not come of negotiations 1t will be had by cannon eventually. Except for heavys rains in localities of the western and central portions of the cotton region over the holidays there were no important changes in weather conditions and none are in sight for the immediate future although decided chance is likely when least expected.
 Tomorrow morning the census bureau will make report on the quantity of cot ton consumed in the United States dur ing September, and will give stocks in eho oihlcu SedlcS aS tiiS Siooo oA idSe month. Returns are apt to be some- what bearish, as it is claimed the short age of labor, due to the war, and spread of Spanish influenza, have restricted con sumptions by mills and stocks likely to be comparatively large as result of heavy ginnings. The market is very sensitive as concerns international political news, especially as regards anything developing that may make for an early peace.
 As yet there has been no marked im- provement in the trade demand Never theless southern spot owners are not fore ing sales, relying on the success of the allies to continue and bring about higher prices eventually.
 While it is possible for the market to be lower, if only temporary, in event consumption report being considered bear. ish, buying on important dips would seem to be advisable.-H. & B. Beer.

POSSIBLE EFFECT
 OF PEACE CAUSED
 IRREGULAR COTTON
General List Closed Barely Steady at a Net Advance of 2 to IF Points
 Over Friday

New York, October H-Conflicting opin- ions as to peace prospects and the pos sible effect on prices were probably re- flected in the irregularity of today's cotton market
 The general list closed barely steady at net advance of to r points,
 The market opened steady at decline of 16 points to an advance of 15 points and sold up right after the call on cov- ering. Liverpool and trade buying. There seemed to be comparatively few con- tracts around the ring and for time prices advanced rapidly. active months selling about 65 to T points net higher before the end of the first hour with october touching S2.otc and January SO.95c.
 There were increased southern offer ngs at this level, which led to scatter ing liquidation and sharp break with net lower during the early afternoon. The volume of business then tapered off and later fluctuations were irregular. There was no change in the general chara cter of crop and weather news, and comparatively little was heard re- garding the spot situations.
 Reports that Turkey had asked for peace through the Spanish ambassador at Washington seemed to stimulate buy ing slightly during the early afternoon, but the attention of the trade seemed to. be lar gely monopolized by Germany's reply to President Wilson's inquiries re- garding the character of her bid for peace. Much of the earlier trading was attributed to the evening-up of commit ments, and the trade later seemed to be waiting developments in this connec- ton.

STRENGTH APPEARS IN EVERY BRANCH OF
 WALL STREET LIST
Closing Hour Witnessed Highest Level, United States Steel Jumping to
 Gain of 21z Points

New York, October 14.-Discounting the outcome of momentous events over the double holiday, the stock market today proceeded on the theory that Germans latest overtures had materially hastened the cessation of the war
 This belief was heightened in the course of the session when it became known that Turkey had submitted ar official note through neutral sources, announcing its adherence to Washing tons programme as a basis for peace negotiations.
 , Virtually every branch of the list strengthened, though very dispropor- iticnately, in the active advance Trading sattained the greatest breadth and vol tune of many weeks but peace shares lat all times dominated the market, not lably oils and shippings. Rails as fgroup were strong almost to buoyancy, sPacifics as usual leading. Grangers kept pace with Atchison, recording an ex- ttreme rise of points. Coalers and nu- merous secondary rails, especially west lsrn and southern shares, were lifted ] Ito points.
 Prices averaged highest levels in the insstent demand of the last hour, Uni Ned States Steel then rising from >lts tow of 1O61s to 1O94, closing practically at it's best with net gain of 21a points.
 Related industrials and equlpments registered gains of 1 to 2 points anu specialties of the peace class, such as new tHIaryester shares, General Electric, To- bacco, Leathers, Coppers and Motors, held much of their 3 to point gains.
 Advances of 8 to almost 10 points in Royal Dutch, Texas company and Mexi- can Petroleum were but slightly im- paired in the extensive profit taking or the final hour.
 Railroad bonds of the speculative dlVl- sion were strong and Liberty issues were slightly higher, bat foreign flotatlons were little changed. Total sales par value, aggregated $s,20o,00o.
 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call.

Movie Salaries

From October Film Fun.
 "I have been making a few calcula- tions," says the man with the serrated W hiskcrs and the foreshortened pencil, looking up from his paper. T have kept a record Of the salaries paid moving picture stars, and find that they can be paid, provided we run the mint night and day and speed up the bank note print ing Ilants to double schedule. Within two years the aggregate sum paid nov ing picture stars would settle all the national Gehts of all the governments of the world, dig eight Panama canals and build and equip nine transcontinental railways, to say nothing of providing postoffice buildings and white marble libraries in all cities of over 5000 inhab- itants. The only thing that bothers me is to figure how the banking facilities of the world can be made sufficiently extensive to handle the enormous amount Of funds that will, be deposited by the film actors and actresses. The respon- sibi,ity attached to handling such cen tralized wealth is crushing
