Stocks Yielded Little Ground
Proving Its Sold Out Condition
nv JOHN c. MOSES

Cotton refused to play setback any
longer and took an upward squirt, the list
closing at net advances of "A to 81 points.
Bullish southern spot advices were fol-
lowed by another squirt of covering early
in the afternoon. July sold up to % so
and October to q. IS with the general
list showing net advances of rs to 80
points. On the more active months this
made gain of 81 to 100 points from the
low level of the morning. Japan was
credited with buying, which caused ex-
element.
Still better reports of crop conditions in
the belt sent down corn again. Bears
were busy in July trading, forcing prices
off 12c under last weeks initial figures.
Oats took an upward turn, due to ex-
ports. Provisions were weak, closing doc
to 42c.

New York. April 17.-Late yesterday
afternoon demand sprung up from
the American spinners which made Ii
self felt in the southern markets. but
which was too late to have any effect
here SO that when Liverpool declined
again today this demand was here to
absorb the offerings from abroad.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1918-04-18

When the poor government weekly
report was received. due to the cold
weather early last week. the traders
who are bearsh found few contracts
for sale. Whether the advance estab-
lished from the great decline will go
further will depend upon whether the
SINNERS continue to follow the ad-
vance in buying their hedges for the
goods they are selling the government.

CROP CONDITIONS

ward on Exports

Chicago. April i7.-Ideal crop condi-
tons made the corn market today aver
age much lower Prices closed unsettled,
at the same as yesterdays finish to
nc down, with May s1.27 and July 81. 46
to 81. 461s. Oats gained sc to Nc. In pro-
visions the outcome was a decline of Tic
to 4NQl42c.
Throughout most of the session bears
in corn forced July down to l2c under
last week initial figures. Further wide
spread rains had fallen, beneficial TO
newly seeded corn and to soil in prepara-
tion for planting. Besides, the down
pours provided greatly needed reserve
moisture in many sections. further
weakening influence was the fact that
notable declines were reported in the
value of potatoes, hay and other farm
commodities. During the late trading,
however, corn prices showed something
of a rally, owing in the main to sym
pathy with strength manifested by oats.
Activity on the part of exports FUR
nished the chief stimulus for an upturn
in the oats market. At first, tnough,
bearish weather conditions handicapped
the bulls. Trading in July delivery took
place for the first time this season, put
did not assume large proportions.
Provisions reflected the weakness OF
corn. Higher quotations on hogs failed
as an offset, except for a brier PERIOD.

big community working together for

strength. and just as many home gar

vantage to work together in clubs or
some other joint manner, so it is in
the canning work. If anything. the
advantages in the LITTER are greater.
There is going to be an enormous
yield from the 100000 war gsria S
of the country. The product will h

late table use; and this places upon
the housewife the unusual burden Of
conserving as much as possible of
this surplus product. Complete
data on canning and drying of fruits
and vegetables is contained in the
free manual which the National War
Garden Commission will send to any
one on request for a two-cent stamp

One of the best methods to follow
in canning is for several families to
club together. The work may be
carried on in a school house, empty

Binky was a paroquet who belonged
to little girl named jimmy. They
were devoted to each other, and Binky
would come out of his cage every
morning and stay out for the rest Of
the day.
Sometimes he would go back for a
very nice tempting piece of seed which
he would see In the center of his cage,
but he could drink from his cup by
perching on the outside of the cage.
And too, he often found nice things
outside the cage which his little mis-
tress would give to him.
One day a cousin of Jinny's gave
her two more paroquets, because she
felt Jimmy would love to have them.
At first jimmy was afraid that Binky's
feelings would be hurt, but no, Binky
was entirely too sensible bird.
jimmy sat in a chair at one end OF
the room and called to Binky as she
often did. And across the room
hoped the little bird as he always
did when he was called by jimmy, or
even when he saw her sitting there.
"Binky," said jimmy, 1--WE love each
other very much, don't WEI"
And Binky nestled his soft green
feathers against Jinny's face and
chartered in his funny little voice some.
