 -Whitefoot the Wood Mouse.
 Whitefoot the Wood Mouse shonid nave been happy, but he wasn't. It seemed as if there was everything to make him happy When he had been driven out of his old home by fear of Shadow the Weasel he had had dreadful journey, but at the end of that journey he had found new home even better than this old home. It was high up in tall hollow stump and had once been the home of Timmy the Flying Squirrel Before that it had been the home of Drummer, the Woodpecker. White foot had been delighted with that new home and for while had been very happy there.
 Winter had gone and sweet Mis- tress Spring had brought joy to all the Green Forest Every one was happy. Whitefoot no less so than his neighbors. Up from the Sunny South came the feathered friends and at once began planning new homes Twitterings and songs filled the air Joy was everywhere. Food became plentiful, and Whitefoot became sleek and fat. That is, he became as fat as a lively Wood Mouse ever does become. None of his enemies had discovered his new home and he had little to worry about.
 But by and by Whitefoot began to feel less joyous. Day by day he grew more unhappy. He no longer took pleasure in his fine home. He began to wander about for no par 
 further from home than he had ever been in the habit of doing At times he would sit and listen but what he was listening for he didn't know.
 There is something the matter with me and I don't know what it is,' said Whitefoot to himself for lornly, Tt can't be anything l have eaten. I have nothing to worry about. Yet there is something wrong with me. I'm losing my ap- petite. Nothing tastes good any more. I want something. but I don't know what 1t Is l want"
 He tried to tell his troubles to his nearest neighbor, Timmy the Fly ing Squirrel. but Timmy was too busy to listen. When Peter Rabbit happened along Whitefoot tried to tell him. But Peter himself was too happy and too eager to learn all the news in the Green Forest to listen. No one had any interest in White fcot's troubles. Every one was too busy with his own affairs.
 So day by day Whitefoot the Wood Mouse grew more and more unhap- py, and when the dusk of early. eve ming came creeping through the Green Forest he sat about and moped instead of running about and play ing, as he had been in the habit of doing. The beautiful song of Melody the Wood Thrush somehow filled him with sadness instead of with the joy he had always felt before. The very happiness of those about him seemed to make him more unhappy.
 Once he almost decided to go hunt for another home, but somehow he couldn't get interested even in this. He did start out, but he had not gone far before he had forgotten all about what he had started for. Always he had loved to run about and climb and jump for the pure pleasure of 1t, but now he no longer did these things He was unhappy, was whitefoot Yes. sir. he was unhap- py And for no cause at all so far as he could see.

Conferences in London Pro- ductiye of Optimistic Re- rorts-LIoyd George to

London. June 1. = interest in the Irish situation shifted today to Ulster where the borderland disturbances and the Belfast outrages are more serious than ever, The conference of Sir James Craig. the Ulster pre- mier, and the marquis of London derry, with Premier Lloyd-Georse were productive of optimistic state ments regarding the solution of the problem.
 It Is understood that the question of support to be given to northern Ireland. in case of an invasion of that territory. was considered and an agreement reached. The situation remains grave.
 Mir. Lloyd George has cancelled his Whitsuntide holiday and is awaiting tomorrow's conference between the Ulsterites and the Earl of Balfonr at the foreign office.
 Lord Balfour attended a meeting of the British signRtories of the treaty this afternoon, the discussion lasting more than an hour. This did not contribute much, however. to brighten the situation.
 Fighting Continues
 Fierce fighting at Belfast con- tinued this morning with considerable snipins throughout the afternoon.  The death toll in the two days en- gagement has reached 14. while 50 persons have been wounded. Along the border the military has replaced the specials. Equal activity among the navel forces indicated the anxiety or the northern government over the menace Of an invasion

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
IMPROVES IN WEEK
Conditions Change for Better
When Settlement of Big
Strikes Seems Near.

Records of production in the past
week IN basic Industries disclose the adj
verse effect of the labor unsettement,
but according to several of the weekly
trade reviews, the restraints were les
sened as coal mining was resumed and
reports indicated Improvement in the
transportation system. Trade. weather
and crop conditions were still highly ir-
regular.
r. G.. Dun & Co. says: Despite Holt
day Interruptions and other impediments,
The week has brought a turn for the bet
ter in business Evidence of recovery in
iron and steel manufacture, following a
decided setback, is encouraging, and
there now seems reason to believe that
fewer obstacles to progress will be en-
countered."
Brddstrcet's says: "The cumulative
effects of the industrial warfare inau-
eurated months ago in the coal and rail-
way industries still operates to plague
general business but settlement of some
conflicts and lessened effects of others
upon production and consumption offer
hope of a mitigation of the conditions
OF artificial scarcity brought about by
the strikes"

COTTON'S CLOSE UP
AFTER EARLY DROP
Futures Market Shows Irregu-
larity - Ginning Much
Greater Than in 1921.

The cotton market was rather erratic
and uncertain in it's action yesterday
After dropping some 20 to 80 points In
the first hour business established a
firm to strong undertone and ran up ~
to 81 points late in the session, closing 80
to AZ points higher than on Thursday.
The market lived up to the expecta-
tons of most traders that there would
be considerable irregularity for some
time to come due to the differences Of
opinion regarding spot demand, supply
and outside conditions.
The Census Bureaus initial ginning
report Of the season appeared yesterday
and placed the amount of cotton ginned
from the growth of the 1922 crop prior to
September ! at 817,11 bales. counting
round as half bales and excluding
linters, compared with 4S5.7s7 bales for
the same period of 1921. Although the
figures were rather large, they were en-
tirely anticipated due to premature
opening of the plant this season. The
report. therefore. played small part In
determining the trend OF values
Liverpool started with a reversal of
the upward movement of Thursday. but
reeained part of its loss when 1t became
evident that the local market was not
impressed by the reaction abroad. Man
chester reported yarns firmer with
more demand for cloths.
There was little change in weather
conditions. which were mostly fair over
the belt, precipitation being confined TO
a fall OF 10 at Memphis and IA at Pen
sacola. Predictions west of the MISSISSIPPI
D. for to-day were for showery weather
in some districts. Weekly statistics
were mostly disregarded. although there
was little selling on visible supply fig
ures, which were regarded as bit bear
ish. Cotton goods advices were con-
structive.
The local spot market was quoted 10
points higher at 2L70 cents a pound for
middling. The New Orleans market was
% points higher at POTS cents. Its sales
were 1,100 bales.
