FIRM UNDERGONE
TOCOTTON MARKET
DESPITE NOTICE"
Large Number of Calls
For Delivery of May
Contracts.
TRADE is IN DEMAND
Absorption by Spot Houses
Prevent Declines and
Strong Tone Ensues.

NEW YORK. April 26.-The cot
ton market showed q firm undertone
despite the issuance of q larger
amount Of notices for deliveries
on May contracts today for actual
delivery on May 1 than had been
expected. The total exceeded the
equivalent Of 5000 bales. Their cir
culation among local trade and Wan
Street commission houses caused
further Liquidation Of May contracts
by such speculative holders. but the
offerings were readily absorbed by
spot houses as they appeared In the
trading pit, and therefore no weak
ness was shown in the general mar
ket. There were declines OF to 3
points on May and July in the initial
trading. and TO { points on the
later months. but these price levels
were the lowest Of the day. with
May selling at l1.so, July i2.5t. Oc-
tober of the next crop l3.eo. and
December 1856.
May Displays strenEth-
The strength the May option dis
played under the above circum-
feeling now prevailing in the nnan-
cial district and the cotton goods
trade over the prospect Of an early
settlement Of the German indemnity
question, prevented the development
OF any further selling pressure
against the general contract list.
As bushes progressed prices rallied
IL to 20 points from the early low
levels under the lead OF May. with
that month going up 20 l21o. July
1857. and October about 1880. Most
Of this Improvement was held in

NEW BOND OFFER

NEW YORK. April 2s.-Trading
on the Stock Exchange was again
active, although not as much SO as
turing the last few days. The steel
stocks, and particularly the inde-
oendent ones, were the leaders, the
oils being less active and showing
less strength than in previous ses-
sions. During the early trading
profit taking was in evidence ana
considerable reactions occurred
aver the list, but in the the after
noon a general rally carried the In
dustrials ahead for gains Of from

exception. showing q number OF
sharp losses, but rails were frac-

A, great deal of interest naturally
was displayed in the new Northern

ted TO the Stock Exchange list and
were traded in on a when, II. and as

ton was at 81, or a half point above
the expected issue price. Subse-
quentIy sales were made at s6%
and s6A, so that the new Offering
may be said to have started auspi-
ciously.
Heavy buying of French francs.
both here and at London was the
feature of the foreign exchange
market This was accompanied by
expectations that France will fare

regarding German reparations. and
II is significant that London cables
refer to Paris as optimistic in the
matter. At all events, francs ran up
20 points to 7.57 cents. which is the
highest price since last August
German marks meanwhile advanced
1 point to 1.56 cents and Italian
lire showed a gain of 5 points at

acted in sterling, with the quota
tions very steady around S3.s4a
The evenly balanced character of
the market for this exchange may
be judged from the fact that varia-
tions in price were quoted in six
teenths of q cent, which is some
thing that has been rare since the
start Of the war.
The other European exchanges
showed considerable irregularity,
those on Scandinavia being again
weak. as was that on Greece. Swiss
francs. on the other hand, were firm
and Dutch guilders were unchang-

Wheat, after early weakness, rail-
lied fairly well on reports of good
export buying. The May delivery
went as low as S1-24k. but recov-
cred to s1-27lz, thus showing a net
gain of / &c on the day. The July
delivery advanced a full &c to

er several earlier disappointments,
for definite news regarding the po-
litical situation in Europe and the
negotiations for the settlement of

IMPORTANT DETAILS
FOR NOVICE DRIVER
First Should Learn to Turn Cor
ners and Signal.
Two Essentials Many Motorists Have
Difficulty in Learning Should Be
Studied and Practiced on
All Occasions.

One of the things that many motor
to do properly is turning corners. says
a writer in a New York exchange.
1t is difficult to coast around a cor
ner at low speed, and If high speed is
used the car goes too fast. The nov
ice driver should practice going into
second speed just before he reaches
the corner he is to turn, and then
drive around at slow speed.
Another detail every driver should
learn and practice is the matter of
signaling. The law states that the
driver shall signal in some unmistak-
able manner which way he is going
to turn. The left-hand drive makes
this easy. IL the operator Is going to
the left he should hold his arm out in
a horizontal position. This indicates
come up behind him On that side.
When making = right turn the a
should be run close to the curb and
the signal given by waving the hand
in a small circle, with a forward
swing, as II he says: Come on up on
this side, I'm going TO turn the cor
ner." The come on" motion Is not
prescribed by law. but has become n
custom Of the road.
If a sudden stop is necessary the
hand should he held upward. This
signal formerly was used by Coach
men on the box aud Is well known TO
all users of the highway.

Takes Little to Stir Up Things.

How two successive requests for a
certain kind Of glove resulted In the
manufacture of hundreds of dozens of
this particular style was disclosed in
New York recently. A woman buyer
asked for a glove which the manufac-
turer did not make. She went away.
and within q few hours another made
a similar request. She also had TO
leave without placing her order. and
both presumably made the rounds Of
others in the glove business. The next
day several manufacturers CHANGED to
meet and one asked: do you see q
demand for so and so?" The others
agreed they had requests for them.
So each instructed his factories to
make up the gloves. As far as could
he learned. there have been no more
requests for the same article.
