to Maine. This is great disap-
pointment TO its citizens who had
hoped to have the honor Of entertain
ing the gallant soldier and leader of

circumstances Belfast can only stand
aside ard gracefully acknowledge
that. inasmuch as his time in Maine

claim. Co. F Of Belfast through

send an invitation to General Ed
wards asking him to visit the city as
its guest. An immediate answer
was received accepting the invita-
ton. Later when the itinerary of
General Edwards visit to Maine ~ss
made up it included Augusta. Ban
gor. Waterville and Portland. Then
Skowhegan was added in place of

 New OrleAns, April 17.-Improvement in the spot situation was responsible for heavy buying today in the cotton market and a stiff rise in values. Highest prices were reached late in the session when the trading months were 45 to 55 points above the level of yesterdays close; last prices showed net gains of ss to 4e points. Very lit- tie selling flower was exhibited at any time and whatever pressure there was.
 Around the opening the market hesi- tated and momentarily was rather soft. Tn the call the most active months weHe i to points under the close of yesterday.

BEARS IN PIT ARE PUT ID 4 DISADVANTAGE. EVEN|NG-UP TRADE.
Corn Seesawed, While Oats and the Provisions List Were More or Less
 Elastic
By Associated Press

Chicago, April 17.-Evening up for the holiday tomorrow put the bears at a disadvantage today in the corn mar ket. Closing prices were unsettled but 1s e 5sc net higher with May at s1.59 and July s1.525s91.52%. Oats gained 1sc to 9s e As. The outcome in provis- ions ranged from soc decline to 1oc ad- vance.
 Except during brief intervals. corn displayed an upward tendency through out and finished at the top prices of the day with shorts covering freely. The chief incentive for this action on the part of the shorts was continued adverse weather likely to interfere with rural wagon traffic and to damage the quality of holdings.
 It was said numerous complaints were at hand from rural sources and that corn was getting out of condition. Besides reports of car shortage again attracted notice and there was less ap- prehension that labor difficulties would curtail the outflow of foodstuffs from New York. Omaha interests were espe- cially conspicuous in the buying.
 Oats hardened with corn and as a result of seeding delays. It was said much reseeding in Iowa would be nee essary. Lower quotations on hogs led to sharp setback in the value of pro- visions. Pork fell SIPS a barrel. Rallies which ensued were ascribed to buying for packers.

HOLIDAY AND LOAN HELP ID MAX: THE STOCK MARKET SLOW
Motors and Oils Reflected a Lack of Professional h. terests, With the Latter
 the Strongest
By Associated Prcxs

New York, April 17-With a holiday impending and preparations for the Lib erty Loan campaign absorbing the atten- ton of the banking community the hesi- tant tone of todays stock market was accepted as matter of course.
 Business was relatively dull, falling lar below yesterdays high pitch, but there was 6 marked absence of the selling pressure which frequently precedes market recess and which would have oc- casioned no surprise today ill view of prevailing uncertainties.
 Mature consideration of the Bntisn premiers address, emphasizing existlng perils in the peace situation, tempered yesterdays enthusiastic reception or the speech, but seemed to exert no very cis- tinct influence marketwise
 Trading differed from that or recent sessions in that motors and oils reflected . lack of professional interest. although there were exceptions in the latter group, as indicated by the strength Of Sinclair and Pierce.
 Steels and affiliated industriaOs, notably Harvester, Steel Foundry and Colorado Fuel were strong and Shippings as group led the entire market, althougn gains were indifferently maintained.
 Total sales par value aggregated *lS'- S0, 600. Old United States coupon 4s rose < per cent on sales, others unchanged.
