 During Session

New York, May 10.--Passing of the British cabinet crisis, heartening mil itary and naval news from abroad and constructive home developments fur nished the basis of another sweeping advance in the stock market today, although gains were materially re- duced at the close. The movement was the most comprehensive of any thus far this year, but the bulk of the enormous dealings again covered around half score of favorites, chief ly war issues and affiliated equip ments. A marked increase of public participation was observed, commits sion houses being reported as heavy buyers, especially of industrials. for speculative and investment interests in the middle west and southwest
 Heaviness of the Liberty IA per cent bonds, which were formally listed on the exchange, was almost the only ad- verse feature.
 That issue opened at 99.1o and re- ceded steadily 9s.40 on extensive of ferings which were attributed to in terior financial institutions.
 United States Steel again completely overtopped all other stocks in point of activity. contributing about 435,009 to the days total sales.
 Steel surpassed it's previous maxi mum of the year by 29s at 107%, but closed at t0sA, net gain of 1 point.

 Cotton hoped about yesterday to the tune of spectators, July going up B q bale and then dropping back. The gen. eral list closed 19 to 27 points up. Gov erinS became more active during the early afternoon owing to the reports of a better spot demand and trade buying around the ring. For time contracts were scarce, while the advance caught stop orders Reports came in that Brit ish buyers were taking lower grades in the south, which caused shorts to become nervous.
 Better seeding prospects helped to low CT corn yesterday. At the outset quota tions looked up owing to frosts in the belt the night before. Traders in oats were confident frosts did not hurt that staple and refused to be stampeded. Sea- board demand was absent and was & bearish factor. Provisions went down with grain. Hogs were quoted higher.

WOMEN FACING STARVATION
GERMANY DEMoBlLIZING MUNE
TIoN WORKERS.
Employment Is Scarce Owing to Fac,
tories Having No Raw Materials
on Hand. '< ....'

Berlin, Dec 13-Thousands of wo.
men, facing starvation through the
loss Of their war jobs, are adding to
the perils of Bolshevism in Germany.
The women munitions workers who
are rapidly being demobilized are un;
able to find employment, as practi;
cally all factories are idle through
lack Of raw materials. Added to their
ranks are other thousands who have
been engaged in similar occupations!
Some have obtained employment on
farms, but the great majority face
serious situation.
The Spartacus group has seized the
opportunity to augment their ranks
with these women, hoping not only to
obtain their political support, but to
influence other men through them.
Twenty-one million are said to be
eligible to vote for representatives in
the National assembly. 1t was esti-
mated that there are more than 2O0,.
600 illegitimate children in Germany
as result Of war conditions.
