Perfectly ripe fruit, says the department, never puckers the mouth, but to be on the safe side it is well to add. when cook- ing it, half a teaspoonful of baking soda to each cupful of pulp. This coun- teracts the stringency to which the fa- miliar pickering is due, and there is always a possibility that some green fruit may have found it's way into tho mass.

GOOD PLANTING
WEATHER FOR CORN
Oats Went Up on Sharp
Bulge at Winnipeg on Gov
ering by Shorts

Chicago, May 1S.-Conditions likely
to facilitate planting had a bearish
influence today on corn. The market

shade advance. with May s1.27% q
1.27H, and July. s1,4o7s @1.41. July
oats gained bc to &c, and provisions
, Is to 55c.
Down turns in the price of corn
began soon after the opening and al
though several rallies took place. the
finish was at virtually the bottom
figures of the day. Most of the sell
ing pressure seemed to be due to the
outlook for an extension of generally
fair weather with temperatures above
the seasonable average. In connection
with such auspicious circumstances
for field work. estimates were current
that planting had already been com
pleted in rs per cent of the available
acreage. At first the resulting pres
sure of offerings was not heavy, but
support was poor and in later trading
some of the principal houses sold free
iy both on commission and cash ac-
count.
Oats assembled because OF sharp
bulge in values at Winnineg. The Ca
madam rise was attributed to covering
by shorts.
Firmness in the hog market gave
strength to provisions. Indications
were that hog arrivals here next week
would be a good deal less numerous
than during the corresponding time
last year.

There were times when the market

liquidations for profits. together with
admonitory warnings from the finan-

toward the end.
Many causes contributed to the

the excellent crop outlook and easier

cialties of the war group registered
almost equal gains, with extensive
dealings in oils, motors, tobaccos and

tailInent News From the
Lancashire Mills

New York, May 1S.-Reports of in
creased curtailment in Lancashire and
continued favorable weather in the
south caused a further decline in the
cotton market today. July contracts
sold off to 24.65c, or SO a baH below

closed at 24.94c, with the general list

| The days news seemed to strengthen
bearish views, both of the crop and
end-season distribution. According to
cables received from Liverpool the Brit
ish board of cotton control has reduced
working hours in Lancashire from 551a
to 40 hours week, which will restrict
consumption to about $4,000 bales per
week.
Weekend crop reviews read favora-
bly, on the average and the official fore
casts were regarded as pointing to
continued good weather over Sunday.
The selling found further encourage

The market opened steady at decline

losses of 20 to rs points. rallied slight

no means active, however. and the mar
ket soon weakened again, with Octo-
Der selling off to 23.S0c and Decemb err
to 23.70c, making net declines of 30 to
40 points on the general list. There was
some trade buying of October at this
level and the market rallied later on

this morning showed 1036,801 bales Of

Over w. E. Campbelrs Wire

New Orleans, May 1S-While the mar
ket was nervous today, being much
given up to liquidation for both ac-
counts. there were periods of firm
ness during which prices advanced
rapidly.
The chief reason for the flashes Of
strength was the spot accounts of the
day. According to the best informa-
tion to be had about 1000 bales were
traded in after hours yesterday in this
market.
Outside of this the feature of the spot
news was the report from Dallas that
1000 bales of fully good middling had
been sold there at the enormous basis
of 1860 points on July, or just about
35 cents a pound.
The unfavorable features in the
weekly statistics. the small mill TAX
ings and the small decrease in the
visible supply worked for liquidation
of long contracts.
On the other hand, shorts were in
clined to even up on all recessons,
and the demand from this source kept
the market steady on declines. The
weather map indicated considerable
rain in north Texas and Arkansas,
but the remainder of the map was
dry and dry weather was forecast for
the entire belt over Sunday.
A report from the census bureau
put the production of linters to the
end of April at 1.o36,s01 bales, which.
while it compared with = produce
ton of 1,210,S76 bales during the same
period last year, was a larger total
than the bulls have been expecting
for the entire season. 1t caused some
selling. Highest prices OF the morning
were to 10 points over the close of
yesterday; lowest, were IA to ~ under.
We do not believe prices can be held
down If the spot demand continues.

ment will amount to over 100000 bales n
