Mrs Hubbard went TO the pantry TO find a
chop or something for her favoritc hound and

We have always been puzzled 10 know why
Mrs Hubbard failed to provide moro thought
fully for the needs Of her household. Certainly

her faithful companion, is some thing that We
have never understood Perhaps what she ate

been oysters. But nevertheless, We feel that
she should have given the dog some considera-

New Orleans Cotton QN aea.o..xo.s nw~.

New Orleans, May f5.-New high levels were reported by cotton today on buy ing wave that developed soon after the opening. There were several small set backs from the advance during the ses- sion, but ihe market firmed up toward the end and stood bs To 64 points over yesterdays close. Late prices were 4p tn 64 points up net, and the tone was iof- ficially quoted firm on the close.
 On the first call a better weather mar was responsible for moderate selling, which the ring did not absorb we'll at first and prices fell off 3 to points. Before the decline had time to gain any real headway support was offered and quick recovery followed. During the remainder of the day advances into fresh high ground were made every now and then. The forecast of showers for the eastern belt, reports of 8 strong and ac- tive cotton goods market, claims of a widespread spot demand, the rumor of extremely heavy purchases of cotton goods in this country by the French gov ernment and somewhat lower ocean freight rates on top of the news of more tonnage for gulf ports were the main est quotation on May was 2S.79c and on July 27.23c.
 Late in the day the lower foreign ex- change market and the unchanged spot quotations here momentarily checked tho advance and caused reaction of 10 points or so but a little later the mar ket was higher than ever. Middling spots stood at 2S. 13c.

SLIM OFFERINGS FORCE MATERIAL
 ADVANCE IN CORN
Effect of Offering Wheat at Reduced Prices Had Been Largely Dis
 counted Beforehand

Chicago, May 15.-Unexpected scarcity of offerings forced material advance today in the value of corn, although most dealers seemed to have been looking for the exact opposite. Prices closed un- settled. 17saohc net higher with July s1.6fsd1. .efl4 and September s154s4 01. 567s. Oats gained 346Ac and provisions Sc to soc. It soon became evident to corn traders that the action of the govern ment in offering wheat for sale at re- duced prices had been largely discounted before hand. Besides opinion rapidly spread that the effect of the government wheat sales would be slight and tran sient. Under such circumstances the market displayed strength almost from the outset. especially as country offer hgs were next to nothing. Efforts of shorts to protect May contracts forced an unusually sharp upturn for that casts of unsettled weather In this con neetion. it was pointed out that Iowa las now had more rain since February than during any corresponding time in 30 years.
 Export sales of 750,0o0 bushels tended to hoist the oats market. The Dutch gov ernment was said to be the chief buyer.
 Provisions took an upward swing with grain. Weakness in the price of hogs failed to act as counterbalance.
