THE BIJOU.

The exact origin of the gipsies as a distinct people is lost in the mists of the centuries. Some students attribute their origin to early Egypt and in sub stantiation point to the tribal name given to them III various languages (even the English, gipsy, suggesting Egyptian). The gipsy name for these wanderers over the face of the earth is Rom, whence Ronlany, as their langu- age is known.
 This vagabond race first appeared in Eastern Europe early in the 14th cen- tury, and in England about 200 years later. Today they are to be found in every country in Europe and in parts of Asia and Africa, as well as in America
 Physically, the gipsy is generally 1.-the and active, with tawny skin, long black hair (often worn in ringIets), large and brilliant black eyes, and teeth of extra ordinary whiteness. The prevailing opinion among etho1cgiSts is that the gipsy IS descended from some obscure Hindu tribe.
 There is no system of religion among the gipsies, though traces of organism in various forms are said to exist in their language and customs. In their nomadic occupations they figure as tinkers, basket makers, fortune tellers and dealers in horses, and they appear to have a racial talent as musicians. They have won for themselves an l1n- enviable reputation for tnievish propen- sites; in farming sections people are wont to keep a sharp eye on their chickens and livestock generally when ever gipsies pitch their tents in the neighhorhood. The race has been cred ited, too, with expertness i'll the kid ua0OinO Of children
 Among Americans, at least, the life of the gipsv has always been invested with peculiar charm and fascination due, no doubt, to its absolute freedom of movement, its utter unconventional ity and its unbroken bond with the great out-of doors. Popular sentiment 1ung has chosen the gipsy maiden as a sub ject for ardent admiration-though not the male of the species. In Longfel- lows Spanish Student" appears the couplet:
 God send the gipsy lassie here,
 And not the gipsy man."
 The picturesque life of the gipsies- the charm with which poular sentiment invests theft free-and-easy existence-is wildly reflected i'll "The Sneak" a William Fox photoplay due at che Bijou Theater on Monday. In this Gladys Brockwell, the noted screen star, en- acts the role of a gipsy princess.
 There will be the usual splendid bill of vaudeville headed by the Dancing Serenaders.

Corn and Provisions.

Chicago, May 26.-Owing largely to
a big decrease of the visible supply
total, strength supplanted weakness
today in the corn market. May
touched the highest level yet this sea-
son. The close was nervous at 1c to
2 Csc net advance with July $l.65 Is
to $1.65 IA and September $1.57 rs
to $l.5S. Oats gained 3-4c to l l-Sc.
In provisions, the outcome varied from
1Oc decline to rise of &c.
Prospects that shorts in corn would
suffer squeeze attracted much no
tice toward the last of the day, in
connection with the shrinkage of the
visible supply, a falling off of 1,011,-
600 bushels as compared with week
ago.
Oats were governed chiefly by the
changes in the corn market.
Provisions, although sympathizing
with hogs declines went upward when
grain advanced.

New Orleans Cotton,

New Orleans, May 26.-Advances of
ten dollars a bale on the strongest
months today, attended the scramble
to buy cotton resulting from the con
tinued wet weather and the forecast
of further rains to come over the
greater part OF the belt. The full
limit of 200 points allowed were
reached by both May and July All
months went to new high records for
the new form of contract Highest
prices were reached late in the ses-
sion and the close was As to 1853 up.
The opening was very active and
excited. Highest levels followed the
quoting of spots 125 points higher on
sales of nearly 5000 bales. Middling
went to 80 cents.
Values were helped by bullish ex-
pectations regarding the weekly re-
ports on the crop from the govern
ment and the condition report to be
dated May 25th and due next Monday.
Reports of large spot business in
the interior at strongly higher prices
contributed to the strength.
Spot cotton firm 1876 points up. Sales
on the spot, 7,011; to arrive 1850.
Low middling 1926; middling $500;
good middling 5000. Receipts 1893;
stock 429,207.
Cotton closed steady at an advance
of 145 to 16S points

Market News
New York Cotton.

New York, May 26.-Thc cotton
market showed continued activity
and excitement today and further
sensational advance, which, in the
case of January contracts, was
checked by the operation of the rule
preventing a price movement of more
than two hundred points for any one
day That delivery sold at 31.70,
more than $40 bale above the low
level of May 9th. There was heavy
realizing in the last few minutes but
the final tone of the market was
strong with last prices showing net
advances of 1870 to l75 points.
The market was active and firm
from the start. First prices were
higher on the strong Liverpool cables,
bullsh reports from the goods trade
and reports of continued rains in the
south. Nervousness over the new crop
outlook was also increased by pri-
vatc crop report from Memphis plac-
ing the condition as of May goth at
only 76.S compared with ten year
average for May 25th, of 1925. This
report also indicated reduction of
1919 percent in acreage and of ten
percent in the use of fertilizer
There was heavy realizing on the
advance but it seemed to be readily
absorbed by fresh buying, much of
which was believed to be for the trade
against an active demand for forward
deliveries of goods.
Spot cotton steady; middling 34,00
Cotton closed steady.
