CORPUS CHRISTI
BENEFIT TONIGHT
At AUDITORIUM

1t is hoped that big crowd will
attend the Auditorium tonight, and
enjoy a frst-class show while assist
ing in worthy cause, the Auditorium
management having generously agreed
to donate percentage of the pro-
ceeds of tonight's show to the benefit
Of the flood and storm sufferers of
Corpus Christi, Texas.
When it is considered that in a
town not great deal larger than
Lakeland approximately 800 lost their
lives, and that thousands are home
less and suffering from lack of shell
ter, food and clothing, we should give
rein to our generous impulses and
help in every way and as literally as
possible.
BY attending the excellent show at
the Auditorium tonight you can as
sist these unfortunate people, at the
same time you are enjoying yourself
to the fullest extent. A program Of
unusual merit will be presented, and
all who like to laugh should attend.
Hale Hamilton in Johnny on the
Spot, clever comedy drama, will
delight and please, and this will be
supplemented by a screaming Fatty
Arbuckle comedy.
Several generous-hearted citizens
have come forward voluntarily and
handed us contributions to this relief
fund. We will be glad to receive and
forward other contributions, and ali
will be acknowledged in these col
umns. The following donations have
been received:

RAILS AND OILS
RECORD ADVANCES

New York, May 1o.--SearIy every de-
partment OF the stock market was re-
vived today and some material net ad :
vances were recorded This was true
not only of the rails. which have finally
become the leaders, but of the oils
which many persons though were
tired out. Tobacco stocks and Motors
joined the advancing column SO did
the coppers. United States Steel was
the leader all day long and it, in com
mon with others, sold off slightly at
the close when professional traders
took profits
Brokers talked a good deal of their
large loans. The street is NOW Dor
rowing about billion dollars This
is only four hundred million thas ne
level at~which loans were fixed by the
celebrated money committee. In such
a market as this under old conditions
the loans would be a billion and a
half. The present loan level therefore
emphasizes the conservative character
OF this most remarkable market. Wall
street never had such a big market so
widely margined.
Improvement was reported in many
industries. but the chief incentives for
buying stocks just now are expectation
that the Germans will sign the peace
treaty, the advent of a Republican con-
gress at Washington on Monday and a
given to the railroads.
The little railroads were conspicuous
in today's trading and particularly
those of which only a minority is
owned by the public.
Texas Pacific, Frisco and Rock
Island shares were stronger Another
group of stocks that attracted much
attention were New York Central. st.
Paul and New Haven Wall street per-
sists in believing that a combination
OF these roads Is on the cards. Sub
stantial advances were made by Della
ware and Hudson. Big Four. Southern
Railway. preferred. louisville and
Nashville and Atlantic Coast Line.
Ono of tho untoward movements OF
the day was in the local fractions. Re
actions of from two to three points
took place as a result
In the copper stocks advances were
made without regard to silver values
The little furry caused by the rise in
silver a few days ago has put the whole
copper list in position TO be advanced
easily.
Royal Dutch led the oils
Tobacco stocks attracted considerable
attention under leadership of General
Cigars which advanced to new high
record. with q net gain Of a point.
The Consolidated Tobacco company
stock was put on the market today.

|D|SCORDANT NOTES N
BUSINESS ARE FEWER

New York, May 1s-Dun's tomorrow
will say in part:
With a freer functioning OF natural
economic forces. permitted by the fur
Their removal of artificial measures, dis
cordant notes in business are becoming
fewer and fainter and are being stead
lily replaced by more frequent and
clearer expressions OF optimism re
gardjng the future. The great iron
and steel industry, for months re-
pressed by price uncertainties. now
gives indications OF reawakening I'M
der the return OF strictly competitive
conditions.
There are multiplying evidences OF a
decided increase of actual orders In
textiles and hides and leather and
footwear.
That the worst Of the repression in
iron and steel has passed is q convic-
ton that has been more widely ex-
pressed since the abandonment OF ef-
forts OF price sterilization. No sudden

Optimism remains tho dominant note
in reports from primary dry goods
markets where the week has again
been one Of activity and rising prices.
Notwithstanding the inclement, favor
able advices about retail distribution
have continued. while future business
Is going more freely to jobbers and
these interests in the west and south
have been buying different lines for
forward delivery.
No abatement OF the boom in hides
and leather which Is bised largely on
tho prospect Of great demand From
Europe, has been witnessed and shoes
become even more costly as the ma
teriAls which enter into their manu-
facturo keep on soaring.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago. May 1s.-Bears ruled the
corn market today and resting spots
showed the May future had lost haif a
cent. July IN to 2Sc and September
IN to sc.
Reports Of great decrease In corn
acreage have been discounted. 1t was
believed millions of acres Of corn land
would be planted to spring wheat. but
this was not the case Oats acreage
will suffer more than corn from wheat
planting. Omaha reported only rs per
cent of corn planting had been finished
ia that territory Planting Is late all
over the belt.
Outside interest in corn has creased
during the last two weeks compared
with the big interest taken Ia the mar
ket few weeks ago.
With farmers busy planting receipts
of corn at terminal points have been
small. When the planting season is
over deliveries will be resumed. It was
expected.
Exports Of corn from Argentine wore
f.523,000 but this week a decrease of
o41ooo bushels compared with last
week Argentine Corn was .onerea at
si.4o to come by sailing vessel and
