three excellent numbers by the or
che-tra under the direction Of MIR.

full organization which consists of
about thirty-five pieces. The first

audience spell bound until the last
notes died away. The last number.
was "Maid Of the West, in which an
obligato part was sung by Miss Mar

very proud of the excellent showing Of
his musical organization.

beautiful solo, 81 Did Not Know

cleverly given. Miss Alpha Sigfrid
charmed the audience with her violin
solo which she rendered with perfect
composure in spite of its difficult
passages. Miss Marjorie Peck who

PAH JONGG

Is about due, says Ellis Hampton,
who has been reading about Nah
Jongg as the leading little game OF
the day. How on earth Nah can get
along without Pah is something none
of the men seem to understand. But
maybe Pah is here and lot of US

the old man may come sneaking in on
her ut any time.-Durango Democrat.

WHEAT MOVES UP DESPITE HE A V Y PROFIT ' 4 X ! W C

CHICAGO, April 24.-In the face of heavy proifit-taking sales, the wheat market here took a decided upward swing today owing to a sudden advance at Liverpool and because of unfavorable weather in the spring crop territory both sides of the Can adian line. Closing prices were un- settled 1a to Is net higher. with May S1255s to S1.2512 and July 1233s to S1.231a. Corn gained as Co F to 3s cents, oats 14s o B to F and provisions f5 to 2Ocents.
 Especially at the outset, wheat buying here showed much increased volume. and in some quarters there was a disposition to interpret the Liverpool advance as being due to prospective adjust tment of difficulties between France and Germany. With snow and rain general throughout the northwest. and seeding delayed as a consequence, bears were at disadvantage and prices were above yesterdays finish.
 Exporters were said to have taken 70O,000 bushels of wheat today.
 The fact that the market here showed at one time PA gain as compared yesterdays low point seemed to cause many holdovers to realize.
 Corn and oats derived their strength chiefly from the action of wheat values.
 Firmness of grain was responsible for the rise in provisions.

COTTON IS QUIET; REACTION SLIGHNT CLOSE IS STEADY

NEW YORK, April 24.-The cotton market was comparatively quiet to- day, and while early advances were not fully maintained, the undertone generally was steady. After selling up from 26.71c to 27.0Sc, July reacted to 26.7sc, but recovered most of the loss, closing at 26.92c. The general market closed very steady, to l. points net higher.
 The market opened steady. 8 to 23 points lower, in response to rela- lively easy cables, rather a better weather map than expected, and re ports that the squirt in the local dry goods market late last week had been followed by renewed selling. There was scattered trade buying at the decline to 27.60c for May and 24S3c for October, and the market soon firmed up on covering. The advance was checked. as prices reached 27.90c for May and 24.70c for october, ow- ing to the apearance of scattered May selling orders. This was attributed to liquidation or the evening up of near-month commitments in prepa- ration for possible May notices to- morrow. and the price of May eased off to 2L55c, or about 22 points net lower.
 The weakness of the near position had an unsettline effect on later which showed net losses of 10 to 12 points, but there seemed to be demand for May at about 75 points over July, and as soon as the May offerings had been absorbed the market steadied up again on renewed covering. May touched the highest price of the day in the late trading, selling at 21.91c on rumors that con- paratively few notices would be is sued. ExceL for rather heavy rains in Arkansas. the days weather news was considered generally favorab ble and the steadier undertone of the market was regarded by the brokers as reflecting an improved technical position following recent heavy liquidation.
