New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, May 12.-,Wet weather
in the belt was responsible for per-
sistent demand for cotton contracts
today which gave the market an adj
yancing tendency almost from the
start. Highest prices were made to-
ward the end and final prices were
at net gains of Is to 10 points.
On the first call, poor cables and
disposition to regard German pro-
tests over the peace treaty in an I'M
favorable light resulted in rather lib
eral offerings under which prices fell
but Immediately after the call, the
demand increased and the net decline
was soon replaced by a net advance.
Spot accounts helped the market to
some extent. The interior reported a
good inquiry with limited offerings.
Locally, total sales amounted to about
$500 bales and prices were raised 13
points to 27SS for middling. A feature
OF the spot news OF the session was
the rumor that more ships were head
ed for gulf ports to load cotton.

LUXURY TAX
IS MUST BE FAID
BY CONSUMER

e According to information received
by Secretary Bloom OF the Chamber
of Comerce merchants can not pay
the federal luxury tax, but the tax
is meant to be levied on the consumer
direct. This information was given
by Chancellor Pack Walter on request
of Mr.. Bloom.
Local retail merchants were of the
opinion that they could pay the tax
instead of the consumer anG Mr.
Walker was asked for a ruling on the
matter. His reply to Mr.. Bloom fol-
lows in part: -
Replying to your letter OF May
Il, you are advised that merchants can
not pay the luxury tax. 1t is a taH
imposed directly upon >the consumer
and must be paid by the consumer
to the merchant at the time OF sale :
Some of the local merchants te--
,lieved they could add the tax to the
value of the article and make the
sale for the total amount, value plus
tax. Others thought that they could
pay the tax themselves and sell the
article for cost plus tax. According
to Mr.. Walker, the article must be
sold for it's face value and the addi-
tional tax SO specified to the con-
sumer and paid with the purchase

Corn and Provisions.

Chicago, May 12.-Jumps in prices
of corn reached an unusual extreme
OF l0c bushel today owing largely
to scarcity OF offerings. The market
closed Hurried at net advance OF
5 3-8c to 1-2c with July $l.68 Ia
to $l.6S ga and September $l.59 IL
to $1.59 "a. Oats gained Ia to
7-8 and provisions 2 IL to Soc.
Throughout the day, buyers Of corn
were urgent buyers, and there was
lack of pressure to sell. The sharpest
demand was for corn available for
either spot delivery or time to meet
May contracts. AS a result, both cash
and May went to the highest price
lever yet this season.
Oats reflected the strength of corn.
Export sales to Holland counted too
against the bears.
Provisions we're lifted by the big up
turns of the grain and hog markets.
