 To this stubby and Button agreed, and the three started for town to get the Widow Brown. Say, Stubby. don't go so fast until you know where you're headed for" said Billy.
 .'Know where I'm headed for! You said we would first go and get the Widow Brown and that's what we're doing as fast as our legs will carry us, aren't we?"
 "I hope so,' said Billy, 'but Eve lost my bearings and don't know where that stableyard is any more.''
 You don'ti I thought you did, and that's why I was following your lead"
 ''You see, If Stubby or I had been with you,'' said Button, i've could help you find it, but now we are help less''
 Speaking for yourself, Button," said Stubby. Have you forgotten that dog had sense of scent, and that I can by that alone trace the way Billy came and find the Widow Brown without any trouble.''
 ''So you can, Stubby, I had forgot ten all about that natural gift of yours, but I am afraid your nose will be worn out before you have gone over half my tracks, for this after noon I was chased all over creation by boys and dogs until in despair of ever having another restfu1 moment I ran out of town to the farmhouse in front of which you found me-"

ITALY'S NATIONAL

Notable Betterment in
Revenues, Savings Bank
Deposits Increase.

National finances are slowly as
suming\a a more favorable aspect ac-
cording to a cable just received from
Commercial Attache MacLean at
Rome, as result Of rigid retrench-
ment in government expenditures.
notable Improvement is shown in
the government revenues for the f1s-
cal year i921-22, and in the steady
increase of deposits In the Italian
savings banks. A certain tension
exists in financial circles, following
the suspension OF payment by the
Banca di Sc6nto. Various schemes
for the reconstruction of the bank
are under consideration. The out
look Is considered auspicious for the
development of trade in Eastern
Europe. A project for diverting a
large number of watt hours daily
from Switzerland to Italy Is under
way and IL is expected that manu-
facturers who have been prevented
from maintaining their normal meas
ure of activity owing to a shortage
of electrical power, will soon be
able to resume operations. Indus
trial expansion in many regions is
almost at a standstill and unem-
ployment is increasing. German
competition has greatly lessened In

PRESSURE lessons
In COTTON MARKET
Disposition to Favor Long
Side Establishes Firm Ex-
change for Contracts.

NEW YORK. Feb. 11.-There
was a firmer cotton market for
contracts here from the opening
today. The less favorable week
end trade reports and also rather
bearish statistics of yesterday had
been discounted. y With less selling
pressure against the market than
lately and more disposition on the
part of both local, Wall Street and
western commission houses to IA
vor the long side of the market
in view of the past fortnights big
advance in wheat and the good risc
in corn, many traders were inclined
to go with this movement rather
than oppose IL for some further
upturn to prices. and shorts were
also inclined to cover.
There is a large outstanding
short interest in March contracts
and also In May. Efforts to cover
this, was the real feature of the
markets rise in prices. The ad-
vance extended to % points on
March against about 20 on May and
July from yesterdays closing quo
tations and about Is on the latter
months, with March going up to
1873 cents. May 17O5c, July about
16. 6Oc and October .16 cents. Most
of this Improvement was held at
the close despite the usual scat
tered profit-taking over the week
end and Mondays holiday during
the last half hours business. One
broker bought about 10000 bales of
May contracts during the, first
hours trading and some of the
largest local spot houses -and' New
Orleans were good buyers of March.
The only selling was of a sca;-
tered character and mostly In the
way of profit-taking by local longs
outside of some moderate selling by
Southern wire houses during the
first hour. The further setback
in foreign exchange rates had little
influence as a market factor, as the
reaction in that market had been
expected in view OF the big advance
of early In the week. There was
nothing new from the labor situa-
tion at Fall River or other NeY
England points not disclosed in the
newspaper dispatches. The issue
between the mills and the labor
union leaders on the new wage
scale and increased working hours
however. is expected to develoI
next week.

WHEAT MART TAKES
+. ON QUIETER TONE
May Crop Scores Early Ad-
vance to New High on Up
turn-Other Crops Firm.

CHICAGO. Feb. 1.-THE wheat
market has quieted down mater
tally, and while May advanced in
the early trading to $l.23 a new
high on the present movement and
July equalled the outside figure on
the crop there was a somewhat
smaller trade than of late and a
rather pronounced disposition to
even up for the double holiday. On
the breaks there was good support
as has been the case for some time
past and on the bulges pressure
increased tending TO hold values
within relatively narrow limits.
The May-July spread widened out
to around Is cents difference COM
pared with II 1-2 cents at the
close and II cents early yesterday.
Owing to the heavy profit-taking
of the past few days many OF the
local professionals who are radi-
cally bullish have little wheat
bought and are waiting for a break
in order to reinstate their lines.
The pronounced strength shown in
the May is the result of a better
demand for cash wheat from mills
and export business at the gulf.
Owing to the decline in sterling
Liverpool May was off equal to
1 1-2 cent per bushel at the close
today, although only lad per cent
off in English money. No rain was
shown in the southwest over night
with the forecast for somewhat
unsettled.
Corn and oats were firm nearly
but outside trade was not large
and the best prices made early on
commission houses and local buying
were not maintained. Cash market
was slightly easier as compared
with the May and it is expected
that there will be heavy offerings
on spot Tuesday as the result of
the double holiday. Eastern demand
a trifie slow.
Provisions were rather duh but
the undertone was firm in SYM
pathy with hogs which were up 10
cents to a new high on the pres
ent movement with a top of 5000.
Receipts 5000 with $4,000 for Mon-
day and 10000 for all next week.
Latter will compare with 235,00o
last year. Western run for the
week was $4,000 againsts $4,000
the previous week and $4,000 last
year. Exchange par.
