stacked. In few minutes 1t was an
nounced that the banquet was ready
and the boys filed into the dining hall
to one of the most appetizing meals
they had seen in many months.
Fifty uniformed Red Cross canteen
workers were gliding noiselessly In
and out among the tables, putting on
the finishing touches to the feast.
when the soldiers started into the hall
An orchestra started up a medley
of southern airs, ana cheers rang
throughout the building.
The hall presented never-to-be
forgotten sight as a result of tireless
efforts of the canteen women. Per
fumery permeated the atmosphere
The blossoms themselves were spray
ed on the walls, on the pillars, in the
corners and in vases that literally COW
cred the tables. Snow-white linen and
brilliant electric lights added glow
to the room that finished off the per-
lection of decorative beauty Old
Glory in many forms hung from
hundred places on the ceiling.
The soldiers were guided to their
places by members of the entertain-
ment committee. Col. Berry Lieut.. Col
Bacon and the staff officers were con-
Quoted to the center table, upon which
were the three prettiest cakes baked
by local cooks.
Rev. w. D. Buckner, D. D., rector
of Calvary Episcopal Church, was mas
ter of ceremonies for the occasion. In
brief address of welcome he spoke
of the sentiment of Memphis toward
her soldier boys, saying that with all
her heart and soul Memphis welcomed
them. The Rev. Charles H. William
son, pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church, gave the invocation, followed
by the dinner.
"You may now proceed shouted
DR.. Buckner, and with laugh the sol
diers began eating. Each one was
served with an individual plate, buffet
style, with a glassful of sweet milk
each The plates contained ham, tur-
key, chicken, stuffed eggs, lettuce,
rolls and sweet pickles.
Immediately after the banquet Bish-
op Gailor made brief but powerful
address to the regiment, all the boys
giving full attention.
"You are our boys he began, as
! the boys turned to listen. "You have
upheld every tradition of your faith
ers. They bled and died in the Revo-
luton, their bones have bleached in
the dust of Bunker Hill, and there are
many of your comrades whose bones
will remain on French soil.
"While you were away we thought
of you every minute. We continually
| prayed for you.
1--WE realize that our government
has been imperfect, our poor have
been oppressed. Our mistakes have
been made; and now you have come
back to help rectify them. 1t will be
up to you. May God bless you for
your efforts"

Says Americans Wrought Miracles.

Charleston, S. C.-L. Buckner. Of
Knoxville, Tenn, a member OF Com
pany X, 117th Infantry, says miracle
was wrought by the Americans when
they put the great Hindenburg line out
of business. He cannot tell how it was
done, but he thinks Providence must
have especially favored the Americans
on that occasion. He has large mon
grel collie dog which he found wander
ing disconsolately over the she'll torn
terrain and was at once adopted as
mascot by Company K.
A peculiar feature about the animal
was that it would not respond to the
advances of the French, but eagerly
made friends with all the Americans.

Market News
Financial Statement.

New York, May 28.-Restraints
imposed upon the speculative situa-
ton by the approaching holidays and
sitter money tendencies, were in
creasingly evident during today's
stock market session trading showing
moderate curtailment and consider
ate price irregularity.
There were several distinct adj
vances and declines, due mostly to
further selling for assured profits
but the erratic movements of certain
stocks, especially the shipping divis-
ion, was traceable to professional
pressure.
Shippings, oils and food specialities
furnished much of the early momen-
tous and strength, but this was large
ly dissipated before noon, when ma
rine preferred broke sharply, other
leaders reacting one to four points.
From that level, there were irregu-
lar recoveries, the market quickening
on am inquiry for equipment and
steels, also leather and chemical is
sues, coppers, tobaccos and motor
specialties.
Baldwin locomotive scored an ex-
IRENE advance of four points. Uni
ted States steel rose two points to
the years best at 100 1-2 and harves-
ter and Virginia coal were 2 to 4
points higher but fresh selling of steel
Immediately ensued, other leaders re-
acting one to three points. United
States steel closed at a net advance
of one and quarter points, but rails
were variable and lower in the main.
Sales of victory 4 "a percent bonds
at par, firmness of Liberty issues and
slight irregularity in the foreign
group represented the chief features
of a moderate bonds market. Old U
S. bonds were unchanged on call.

Corn and Provisions.

Chicago, May 28.-Indications that
much corn was being rushed to Chi
cago for delivery on May contracts
put the corn market most of the time
today under control Of the bears.
Prices closed weak, 1 IA to l Use
net lower, with July 1.65 to 1.65 Is
and September 1.57 to 1.57 1-S. Oats
lost 1-2 to Use. The outcome for
provisions ranged from Csc decline to
&c advance.
Notwithstanding that nervousness
on the part of shorts lifted May de-
livery of corn to transient new high
price level for the season the market
as whole showed decided weakness
except during brief intervals around
the opening and after midday.
Oats averaged lower with corn.
Crop advices for the most part were
favorable.
Adjustment of May contracts led to
considerable irregulsrity in values of
provisions.

New York Cotton,

New York, May 28.-An early ad-
vance of nearly a cent a pound met
a renewal of heavy realizing in the
cotton market today and there was a
very severe break in prices. October
closed at 30.75, with the general list
closing barely steady at a net de-
cline of five to % points. The market
opened strong at an advance in re-
Spouse to unexpectedly firm cables,
continued wet weather in the south,
bullish private condition figures and
reports of continued trade demand.
Realizing checked the advance and
the market turned easier toward the
middle of the morning.
The weekly report of the weather
bureau read unfavorably as expect
ed, but failed to inspire any fresh
buying of consequence and moderate
midday rallies on reports of continued
trade buying seemed to bring out
another wave of profit taking. Re-
ports that the southern spot basis was
easier and southern selling here con-
tributed to the decline later in the
day. Private crop reports were is
sued, one of them making the condi-
ton 1855 and estimating the decrease
in acreage at Is percent. The other
placed the condition at 75.7 and the
decrease in acreage at IL percent.
Liverpool cables reported trade buy
ing of near months and continental
buying of distant positions. Local
brokers attributed a good deal of the
local selling to profit taking for over
the approaching three day adjourn
ment.
