Recovery i'm Wheat
On Crop Reports;
May Holds Strong g
Reports of Frost Damage
i'm Grain Belt Factor i'm
Rebound After Early
Easiness; Corn Declines

CHICAGO, May Is - Considerable
strength developed in the wheat market
to- day owing more or less to unseason-
ably cold weather and to sharp up
turn in prices at Winnipeg. The market
closed unsettled at the same as Satur
days average to SC higher, with May
$146 to $1.46M and july $1.15N to
$1.1515. Corn finished &c to 1c lower,
oats off A@3sc to Fsc and provisions
unchanged to Csc down.
Reports of heavy frost at various places
gave the bulls an advantage in the wheat
tage which was quickly supplemented by
word that May delivery at Winnipeg
showed a rise Of &C compared with Satur-
day. 1t was said growers appeared to have
command OF the situation at Winnipeg
Meanwhile. country offerings here and at
other domestic markets were light. An
other bulish factor was the disposition
which some influential traders showed to
take a less bearish view Of pending legis-
lation. On the other hand. rains in Texas
and Oklahoma, together with better crop
reports from parts of Kansas. tended to
ease the July delivery somewhat.
Hedging pressure on corn weakened tho
market for both corn and oats.
Lower quotations on hogs had bearish
effect on provisions, and so, too did belief
that the semi-monthly statement would
show a. fair increase In supplies.

100000 Cotton
Shipment Authorized
War Finance Corporation APP
proves Application for Ex-
port of Raw Material

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Approval
Of an application for advances of
$2,000,oo00 in connection with the ship
ment Of cotton to foreign ports for
warchousing and distribution was an
nounced to-day by the War Finance
Corporation. 1t also announced $780,
900 had been advanced to date against
cotton already exported.
The advances, the corporation said,
have been approved to finance the ex-
portation Of cotton from American in
terror points and America ports under
contracts calling for shipments from
October to December. This financing
Of cotton, it was said, will assist in
maintaining adequate stocks near the
points of consumption and thereby
facilitate business.
The distributing points to which the
cotton has been consigned are Liver
pool, Havre, Trieste, Genoa, Venice and
Bremen. Cotton consigned to Havre,
the corporation explained, will be dis
tributed to the nearby mills, and also
to mills in the interior Of France and
Alsace Lorraine, as we'll as in Switzer-
land. Cotton to the italian ports will
be distributed to Italian and Austrian
mills. Cotton warehoused in Bremen
will be distributed to Czech h-Slovaka,
Austria, Poland and Sweden.

State I'm Market
For Funds First
Time Since 1917
Asks Bids ON $4l, 300, 900
5 Per Cent Serial. Bonds,
Part of Which Is to- Pay
Bonus for War Veterans

For the first time since 1917 the State
Of New York yesterday entered the
Wall Street money market in quest of
funds. James A. Wendell, Comptroller.
invited bids for June 8 on Sal 100000
serial per cent bonds, including $10,-
100000 of securities created TO pay
bonuses to soldiers who fought in the
great war.
In the circulars sent to investment
banking houses the Comptroller ex-
planned that no bids of less than par
would be considered, and that bids had
TO be in multiples of $4,000. The bonu
bonds will mature serially between
1922 and 1946, and the others between
1922 and 1871. Besides the bonus
funds the money raised will be used in
the following ways: S20,000,000 for
road improvement, $5,000,000 for the
acquisition Of land for state preserves
and s6,80o,000 for barge canal ter
minals.
Because the state has 80 long been
out Of the money market, there is a
relatively small floating supply of New
York State bonds, and they sell at
high price, yielding the investor only
between 4.44 to AT per cent. The fact
that the bonds, showever, are tax exempt
in this state, bankers explain, adds
enormously to their marketability and
explains the premium on New York
bonds as compared with other state
issues. Recently new issues of other
states have been offered on basis to
yield st least s per cent to the in
vestor.
In April, 1917, the state sold $685.
100000 Of fifty-year per cent bonds
on basis to yield 3.75 per cent. Be-
tween 1905 and 1916 the state was a
regular borrower and got money on the
following terms:

though perhaps to most people they
are more interesting at distance
than close at hand Probably
many children like to study them
most when they are mounted and
in cases, as are the snakes which
are shown in the Earlham college
museum.
The python that is shown there
Ia large snake OF the kind
that lives in tropical parts Of
Asia and Africa-died several tens
of years ago in its home in the ZOO
of Boston, Mass. This snake whose
other name (even snakes have

college, and the mounting OF this
and the other python snake ex-

especially the mounting of the
skeleton. Fash vertebra, of which
there are probably several hundred

each one of the little ribs which
are on each side of the back bone
(which is made up of the vertebrae)
had to be wired to the skeleton
separately.
Skin Beautifully Marked
The python skin, which Is shown
in different case, shows some
splendid markings which, when
bright and new on the living snake,
must have appeared very beautiful.
This python is smaller than the
Boston one and was carried with a
side show which came to Richmond
several years ago. While in this
city, the snake became sick and
died, and it was given to the Earl
ham museum.
Pythons Not Poisonous.
The forked tongue of this snake

This snake has a strange way of
