LARGE OPERATIONS
I'm STOCK MARKET
Some Developments Over Weekend
Did Not Promote BulIish
Enthusiasm.

NEW YORK, May 2-The stock
market today recorded almost the
'argest operations of the year. al
though some developments over the
week lend did not promote bullish en-
thusiasm.
Another deficit in actual clearing
house reserves was held the reason
for the renewal of call loans at Z per
cent, and the firmness of all other
quotations, including commercial
paper. General advices from railroad
centers disclosed another decrease of
tonnage at western transportation CEN
ters. Curtailment of buying demand
in those sections was concurrent with
lower quotations for grains and other
foodstuffs.
Such irregularity as was manifested
by the stock market centered chiefly
in the oils. The Mexican group was
again depressed during the forenoon
on rumors that some of the properties
were playing out, but recoiled later to
the dismay of the shorts.
Steels, equipments, coppers and mo
tor specialties, together with shippings
comprised the stronger issues of the
session. The shippings, especially
American International and Mercantile
Marine preferred sped forward in the
final hour. Net gains ranged from
to nearly points, rails participating
only slightly.
The brief respite granted Germany
by the allies had no adverse effect on
international remittances. The British
rate established new high for almost
a year although easing later and most
other European exchanges were higher,
French and Belgian rates selling at
equal levels.
Keeping pace with the stock market,
dealings in bonds were more expansive
and mainly higher. except among rails,

OPTIMISTIC VIEW
In CUI'iUN MARKET

Lifted Out Of the Apathetc Condition
Which Has Recently Prevailed.
NEW YORK, May 1.-The cotton mar
ket today was lifted out of the apathetic
condition which has recently prevailed,
by a more optimistic view of European
conditions. reports of continued delays
to the new crop start, and prospects for
an extension of War Finance Corpora
ton facilities in financing exports. Bust
ness was very much restricted at the
start, but prices held generally steady
and an active demand developed during
the afternoon with July selling up to
1913 or AZ points net higher and the
highest price touched since the end of
last March. That delivery closed at
1909 with the general market closing
steady at a net advance of 80 to 46
points. The uncertainty of the situation
as to war reparations and continuance
Of the British coal strike were reflected
in the early market. First prices were
to 6 points lower in response to earlier
Liverpool cables and reports that the
English market was still dormant owing
to the labor troubles. There were only
few scattering lots for sale, however,
and the market turned stronger during
the middle of the day on reports that a
better tone in the stock market reflected
increasing optimism over prospects for a
settlement OF war reI)arat1OnS by Ger
many. This may have peen prompted
by reports that the bulk of Upper Sile-
STA had been awarded to Germany fol-
lowing the recent plebiscite and Wall-st
interests were among the most active
buyers on the advance to 1870 for May
and 1880 for October Reports from At
lanta that the war finance corporation
would probably finance exports ship
ments of cotton from the time they left
the interior instead of advancing only on
cotton at the ports. was also an impor-
tant Influence and Liverpool buying here
late in the day was said to be on ex-
pectations of strike settlement. Some
apprehension was expressed that export
shipments from this side might be in
terrupted by a strike of marine workers
but this was without much influence ow-
ing to the large amount of idle tonnage.
The detailed daily weather reports from
the cotton region which started for the
season today showed unseasonably low
temperatures and continued rainfall west
Of the Mississippi.

ORLEANS COTTON
FIRM and ACTIVE
Reports That Wall Street Operator
Was Greater Buyer Sent Shorts
To Cover.

NEW ORLEANS, La, May Fol
lowing period Of very tame trading
in the early part of the session today,
cotton suddenly developed great activ-
ity and firmness and prices went me-
terially higher. A rather spectacular
wave of buying followed the report
that Wall street operator was a large
buyer and it sent shorts to cover with
a rush. In the late trading prices were
at their highest, at net gains of 35
to AZ points with July up to 1910. Tie
close was "a to A points net higher
with July at 1854
While on the surface the squirt IL
prices appeared to be due wholly to a
speculative movement among profes
sional traders, designed primarily to
drive in the shorts, the opinion on the
floor was that the cause for the rise
was more deep seated and that it
really was due to the April statement
from the federal reserve board con-
corning financial and business condi-
tons in this country, in which claims
were made of Improvement and thai
indications were that prices of com
modities in general had reached the
bottom. The report was at first ig
nored but after it was digested, IFS
effect was plain.
Poor cables caused hesitation ana
small declines around the spening.
After declines of one to five points,
the market reacted to net advances OF
about five points on the low teInpera
lures still prevailing over the belt, but
no real strength was shown until to-
ward mid-session.

FAMOUS TUG GETS REPRIEvE.
Furnished Inspiration for Steyenson's
Story, "The Wrcckers."


The old South Sea trading schooner
Equator, famous as the vessel on.
which Robert Louis Stevenson is said
to have received the inspiration for
his story Of 1.-THE Wreckers," has been
granted reprieve from Davy Jones'
boneyard Of WORKOUT ships.
The Equator, for many years Pu-
get Sound steam tug, was about to be
discarded, when it was decided to
open up her hull. The frames were
found to be Of Port Oxford cedar and
as good, according to marine men.
as when she slid down the ways at
Benicia, Cal, in 1888. AS a result the
vessel was recently rebuilt, her steam
engine replaced with Diesel power
engine, and she will shortly resume
her career as a tug.
The story goes that Stevenson. maxi
ing a voyage in the Equator--then a
schooner among the islands Of ro-
NANCE" was sitting in the cabin one
night with gathering Of traders,
pearl fishers and others and heard an
old South Sea yarn that gave him the
idea for 1.-THE Wreckers." Later he
recorded that fact in his diary.
Years later the Equator was equipped
with steam engines and in course Of
time made her appearance on Puget
sound.
Her owners say she is good for
many more years Of service.

IN
MISSOURI BAD
C. M. Baker Emphasizes Need
of Bureau of Sanitary
Engineering.

The development Of proper sanitary
conditions through a Bureau of Sanitary
Engineering connected with the State
Board of Health Of Missouri cannot be
too strongly emphasized says c. NJ.
Baker Of the Wisconsin State Board Of
Health, in reply to Joel Connely, Assis-
tant Sanitary Engineer Of the U. s. Pub
lie Health Service at Jefferson City. Mr..
Baker pointed out that the need is much
greater in Missouri than in Wisconsin
because of the fact that Wisconsin is
naturally endowed with safeguards that
Missouri has not. and that, besides this,
the state has taken steps to. prevent any
other means of pollution that might me-
mace.
According TO DIR. NJ P. Rayenel. in
1917 there were 622 deaths reported to
the State Board Of Health as due to ty-
phoid fever At the common estimate Of
ten cases for each death this means that
6.220 persons suffered from this disease
during the year.
Typhoid fever is always caused by
swallowing a germ, which is found in
large numbers in excretions Of typhoid
patients or typhoid carriers. 1t is evi-
dent that if proper regard was paid TO
the rules Of common decency this disease
would soon disappear. Ii has been said:
For every case of typhoid fever some
person or community is criminally re-
sponsible and should be adequately pun
ished."
