CAUGHT!


 There was a good deal of giggling and loud whispering at the back door of the barn. It ceased instantly when Farmer Green cried Stop that!" in a loud voice.
 Johnnie Green and his friends looked startled--and sheepish, too. They had been throwing entrants kleheels kick.
 The boys fell back a few steps as Farmer Green joined them. ' Was Twinkleheels doing all that kicking?" Farmer Green asked John nie. Tt was so loud that I thought the barn would fall down any minute. We threw a few entrants at old Ebenezer,' Johnnie Green explained somewhat faintly.
 His father gave him a sharp look
 'Huht" Farmer Green grunted. He didn't kick-did he?"
 "N-no N-no, sir.'
 Did you throw at the bays?" Johnnie's father demanded.
 "Only once or twice." Johnnie con- fessed.
 "Once or twice is too much" his father said sternly. Don't meddle with the bays. And don't tease the pony, either. You've chosen the surest way to make a kicker of him. How long," Farmer Green demanded, has this business been going on?"
 "Only a short time" Johnnie an swered him. VI never threw any cur rants until they began to ripen.'
 'T suppose" said his father, you never threw any until there were some to throw
 Johnnie Green appeared much more cheerful when he heard that remark of his fathers. Although Farmer Greens face wore a frown, and his voice sounded most severe, Johnnie could tell that he was laugh ing, inside.
 Come on!" Johnnie cried to his

BU[L|SH TRADE ADV|CES HELPED
 SEND UP COTTON
In Final Trading the List Was Strong at a Net Advance of Eleven to Twenty
 Seven Points
By Associated Press

New York, May 11.-Early declines under further liquidation and better weather reports from the south were followed by very sharp rallies in the cotton market today on bullish trade advices and late reports of re- newed rains in Texas and Oklahoma. July contracts sold up from 19.05c to 19.63c and closed at 19.54c com pared with 1931c at the close of the previous day. The general market closed strong at net advance of II to 27 points. Bullsh Liverpool and Manchester advices were evident ly more than offset by the better showing of the early weather map, and the local market opened barely steady at a decline of 10 to 22 points.
 There was a rally right after the call within a point or two of yes- terday's closing quotation on re- ports of good trade demand, but 1t met increased offerings which gave the market very nervous and un- settled appearance during the middle of the day. The pressure was at tributed largely to a further reduc- ton in scattering long accounts, put some local and southern selling was also reported, supposedly on the Im- proving weather conditions in the south, and reports that it was not yet too late to make q good crop in Texas. with favorable weather, from now on. May sold off to 19.41e, De- tober to 1910c, and December to 19.14c, making declines of about 6S to 94 points from the high recards of last Tuesday.
 Further May notices were issued and reports that more cotton was coming here for delivery probobly in- creased the nervousness of the mar ket, but offerings became lighter early in the afternoon and the mar ket advanced on covering by recent sellers, renewed demand from hous- es with western connections, trade buying and commission house sup port. May sold up to 19.94c, Oc- tober to 19.70c, and December to 19.75c, or 54 to 50 points from the lowest and S1 to 35 points net higher. Reports of scarcity of seed for re- planting in the southwest and a bet ter spot demand were factors on the late advance which was also prompted by reports that British spinners were fearful of crisis in raw material supplies.

Contrary to All Recent Move ments, Market Broadened as Values Receded-Lacka-

By Associated Press

New York. May 11.--Professional selling for both accounts character ized the greater part of todays en- ket making the fourth consecutive session in which reactioary tendencies have traded The entire list experi- enced a sharp change in the final hour. however, when rumors of a merger of the Bethlehem and I4acka- wanna Steel companies. which later were confirmed, resulted In heavy buying of those and affiliated shares
 Lackawanna led the group at net gain of seven points. Bethlehem rising s. and Republic Iron 3. with advances of to ? points in other so-called independent steels, but U. s. Steel figured only moderately at a fractional gain.
 During the early and intermediate periods of the trading. shorts seemed to gather fresh courage from the absence of public interest and the evident failure of the list to respond to favorable developments. including increased steel tonnage and still high CT oil prices.
 Contrary to recent movements the market Droadened as values receded. Among the days offering were numerous specialties whose sharp re- actions suggested involuntary liquid ation of margined or speculative hold ings.
 There was also considerable selling of seasoned or representative rail- road shares, notably the trans con tinentals and several of the coalers, while junior transportations eased under offerings of Texas Pacific and several of the cotton carriers. These losses were largely reduced at the close. oils also rallying with tobac- cos and utilities. the latter including Laclede Gas at a gain of 5ss points.
 The money market was easy. re- versing recent tendencies. Call loans dropped to sia per cent at midday and time funds were more freely supplied. but all the longer maturities held firm at Al per cent.
 Trading in the principle foreign exchanges was dull and the irregular tone of quotations reflected further ooubt respecting the outcome of con- ditions at Genoa. Sterling bills eased slightly, francs and lire were firm and marks showed a sllght reaction. Among neutrals, the Dutch rate rose sharply and Swiss francs again fell under par.

Difficulty to Meet
 Demand for Steel

Cleveland. O., May 1.-The Iron Trade Review today says.
 Meeting growing demands on all sides for steel is becoming increas- ingly difficult for the mills The problem is complicated by the fact that consumers stocks are low and increases of production are checked by fuel situation. In some lines, not ably steel bars, some mills are re- sorting to the allotment of tonnage, in a manner similar to the war pe- riod Various producers find them selves obliged to refuse tonnage be- cause they do not consider it advis- able to increase their obligations. A well defined tendency is shown among a number of the leading producers to refrain from price advances.
 Operating conditions in the Con- nellsville coke regions this week show slight improvement. Many of the operators still gre making no especial effo. ts to resume or increase production as they have experienced no great pressure for supplies. East ern furnaces, however. have con cluded negotiations with by-product coke works in that section, calling for total of over 500,o0O tons.

WHEAT SCARED IN QUOTATIONS ON
 OVERNIGHT GAIN
Corn and Oats Both Joined in Upward Movement, While Provisions Were Up and
 Down
Ky Assnciated Press

Chicago, May 11.-Wheat went soaring in price today and for May delivery showed an overnight gain of 71ac sbushel. Enthusiasts for a higher range of values contended that the heaviest deliveries likely to be witnessed here this month had been met and that todays results were evidence that bears had lost control of the market. Closing quotations were strong Pc to TIC net higher. with May $1.45 to s1.45A and July $1.26& to s1.27. Corn finished Ts to 1ss e Ae up and oats gained ss c F c to Ssc. In provisions the outcome varied from Pc decline to 7c advance.
 1t was runaway market today in wheat especially during the final dealings. Leading owners of contracts calling for delivery of wheat this month were credited with adding to their holdings and with having put to a great disadvantage traders who were short. The latter have been making effort to bring wheat here from other big centers, Kansas City In particular.
 The shorts succeeded in delivering 100000 bushels on May contracts this morning, but traders who on that account looked for a lower market were promptly disillusioned.
 Scarcity of wheat offerings in the trading pit became quickly apparent and with talk current that much of the wheat delivered would soon be loaded out on vessels for shipment east the market tended decidedly up- ward the rest of the day. There was gossip also that big financial inter- ests in tho east were identified with the buying side and that export bust ness on a big scale was in progress Advices that the allies had approved an Argentine credit to Germany. and that the Russian answer to Genoa was favorable to better understand ing with the other European powers counted also in some degree as bull ish factors. The market showed more activity than has been the rule of late, but notwithstanding the sharp upturn in prices the aggregate of transactions reached no extraordi- nary total. Corn and oats derived their strength from the action of wheat. Provisions except pork ave- ragged lower with hog values. Trade in pork was negligible In amount.

NEW YORK COTTON RY AaaaciafAd A Rrn..
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
By Associated Press


 New Orleans, May 11.--Great &C., tivity and pronounced strength marked the trading of the last hour of the session in cotton today and prices were sent 2S to S2 points high CT than the close of yesterday after having been as low as 23 to 27 points under yesterdays close in the earlier trading. Fluctuations carried July as low as 1S.67c and as high as 19.22c, that month finally closing at 1919c. On the close the list showed net gains of 23 to 20 points.
 The rapid rise of the latter part of the session was due to the ac- cumulative effect of favorable crop accounts, further claims of scarcity of seed for replanting purposes, much evidence of better spot de- mand and the sold out condition of the contract market, owing to the extensive liquidation of late on the long side. Late in the day a special demand arose for contracts, coming from southern spinners for the most part according to comment on the floor. and when the market responded to the demand a speculative buying movement of great proportions all most instantaneously developed. This continued to the end and the market closed In roar of activity.
 Scattered rains in Texas and Ok lahoma were something of support in the early session as were also the sales of 15oo0 bales of spots in the Liverpool market but for long time liquidation by longs more than supplied the demand. Some of this liquidation was prompted by dry weather outside of Texas and Okla he ma and prospects of clearing weather for those two states but after mid session anything favor able connected with the crop out look was asking for federal appro- priation of a half million dollars with which to buy seed for re- planting. Bullish spot accounts also were accentuated by private cable
