"Passlon Play" Result Of a Vow.


a dramatic representation of the sui.
ferings Of Christ, originated from a
VOW made by the inhabitants Of the
little Bavarian. village in 1893, with
the hope of staying a plague then
raging. The original text probably
was made by the monks of Ettal, but
the parish priests have since carefully
revised 1t. The music was composed
by Rochus Dedler In 1914. The play
Is given by amateurs In purely rever-
entail spirit, and not for gain. It re-
quires cast Of about seven hundred
persons. In 1901 an $4,000 playhouse
was erected especially for the pres
entation, which is given every ten
years. The first performance was
given In 1884.

ADVANCES HELD IN COTTON MARKETS;
 REALIZING BRISK
Prices Held Steady at the Close, Sixteen to Thirty eight Points Advance Over
 the Previous Finals
By Associated Press

New York, May 22.-Advances were maintained in the cotton markets but the close was steady at 16 to 2S points October contracts sold up to 203oc on the forenoon advance. eased off to 1886 closed at 20.06c compared With 19.77c at the close of last week.
 The market opened firm at d de- cline of points on May but gener- ally 22 to 8 points higher on steady Liverpool cables, favorable Manches- ter trade reports, the firmer open ing tone of sterling exchange, and the higher market for bar silver in Lcndon.N Buying became more gen eral as private reports of rains i-i the Southwest began to reach the ring and before the advance was checked active months showed net gains of fl to 5S points with July selling at 20.39c and. December at 20.24e.
 There was considerable realizing around these figures and some scat tered selling for a reaction was re- ported during the early afternoon owing to the fact that the official de- tailed weather reports failed to show. as much rainfall in the Southwest as indicated by early advances. July eased off to 2o.O9c and December to 19.SSc with active months generally selling back to within 10 or 20 points of last weeks advance quotations.
 The forecast, however, pointed to A continuation of unsettled weather in the belt while trade interests were reported buyers on the reaction and the later market was quiet but steady closing several points the lowest on the active list. Wall Street and southern interests were credited with selling considerable during the day while Liverpool, New Orleans and some of the spot house brokers were buyers According to private advices there was rainfall of ten inches at Sulphur Springs. Texas. and heavy rains at some other points. but the official details showed noth- ing more than moderate rains in Texas, the precipitation being heav- fer in Oklahoma.

WHEAT TAXES UP
 TURN, BUT LATER
 AVERAGES LOWER
Crop Reports Generally Fa- vorable-Lack of Shipping Demand Tends to Stimu-
 late Selling
By Associated Press

Chicago, May 22-Although wheat took an up turn at the start today, the market averaged lower Heavy arrivals here and at otLer leading centers indicated that the amount of wheat still average was large. The close was unsettled at 211 net decline to 1s advance with May higher. Corn finished B to as c down, and oats off half to 1 cent. In provisions, the outcome varied from cents de- cline to a rise of cents. Most trad CTS gradually stood to the bear side for at the time being any gains in price would be hard to maintain. Lack of any big shipping demand here together with the unusually large receipts and the continued good
 sized movement from the interior all tended to stimulate selling which in- cluded considerable liquidation on the
 part of holders.
 Besides crop reports were generally favorable, and 1t was predicted that harvesting in the southwest would
 begin about the middle of June. An
 increase of nearly 4,0o0,000 bushels in the amount of wheat on ocean pas sage had some effect also as bear ish influence. Because of the domes-
 tic issue supply total was anticipated
 more or less by purchasers of wheat
 at the opening and was only of mod
 crate help in rallying the market at
 the last. especially as messages from the Atlantic seaboaEd said exporters
 were idle, holding off for lower prices. Receipts here today totaled 516 carloads and there were deliver 1 ies of 3S5,000 bushels on May con-
 tracts. Vessel room was chartered 1 for 2SO,000 bushels to Buffalo. 1 Corn and oats weakened when wheat had a sinking spell.
 Provisions were depressed by a drop in hog values;
 | May ribs, however. formed an. ex- lception, being in active demand from shorts.

CHEAP MONEY WAS CAUSE OF HIGHER
 RANGE OF PRICES

Rr AasncIatnd Prsra

New York, May 22.-Cheap money was again tho dominant influence In the higher range of prices quoted session, but realizing for profits en- Eued later and the rate call loans stiffened from si5 to per cent
 Recent minimum quotations Tor tune funds ranging from 80 days to virtually six months were renewed although last Saturdays report of local clearing house institutions dis closed the largest total of loans and discounts thus far this year.
 Shorts tested the markets absorp- tive capacity from time to time. but made little headway. except among several of the foreign oils. Mexican and Dutch issues easing under presr sure, with several of the motors. equipments, coppers and kindred ac- cessories.
 Domestic oils. especially the Stand ard Oil, showed consistent strength, with transcontlnental oil these stocks closing at gains of to 4h points. Midvale was the only inde- pendent steel to retain its early ad- vance, and Studebaker held Its ground but miscellaneous issues can celled their gains of 1 to points.
 United States Steel scored new high record for the current move ment, although among the first pop uiar issues to yield to realizing sales. Active trading among rails was con fined to secondary stocks. New Haven forfeiting a considerable part of last weeks rise, while Erie gained al most points.
 Speculative as expected In the weekly letter of commission houses. lost little of it's optimism. Predic- tions of higher prices were based, aside from money conditions, on in- creased railroad tonnage, investment inquiry and general business gains in the south and southwest.
 The drift of foreign exchanges was more distinctly downward, although British rates remained firm. Early selling of francs and lira affected ad- ditional depreciation in French and Italian eurrencies and German marks fell back to within fraction of their low record. Scandinavian bills were most irregular l5 point raise in swedish bills being offset by 20 point decline In Norwegian remit tances Far Eastern quotations again strengthened on the higher prices for silver here and in London.
