COTTON TRADERS
 WATCH WEATHER
Price Trend Is Upward Throughout Fairly
 Active Week

NEW ORLEANS, June 1.-The ini- t:al event of the past week in the cot ton market was the final liquidation of the May deal. That month went out at noon Monday with final tenders of approximately 5000 bales, all of which were promptly cared for. With May out of the way, the attention of trad CTS was diverted largely to the new crop positions, trading in which became fairly brisk. All interest naturally cen- tered in weather and crop developments and as the weather was almost uni formly unfavorable, the general trend of values was upward.
 Although the governments weekly weather report issued Wednesday was not as unfavorable as looked for, it nevertheless showed that the crop con- tinued to be very backward with stands spotted, and with the plants making but poor progress in the northern half of the belt because of the cool nights.
 There was. moreover, entirely too much rain ill many portions of the belt for the good of the growing crop which now stands badly in need of warm, dry weather. It is probable that prices would have advanced more than they did but for the fact that New York was closed on Friday and Saturday, which naturally induced many oper- ators to take profits and even up com. mitments in advance of the holidays and of the government condition report | to be issued Monday forenoon.
 Prices were strengthened to a con siderable extent during the week by the general belief that the condition report will prove bullish. Fourteen private condition reports have been issued in advance of the government. the general average of which makes the condition 66.S. Practically all of these reports

2IO MILES OF PIPE
 TO HAVE NO JOINTS
Continuous Tube To Carry Gas From Shreveport To Beaumont

KIRBYVILLE. Texas, June IA continuous steel tube, 21O miles long, without a coupling or screw-thread connection, will be laid this summer be- tween the Texas-Louisiana natural gas fields, near Shreveport, La., and Beau mont, Texas.
 When completed the longest 16-inch diameter pipe line in .the world will cross two rivers, innumerable creeks and run underground through four counties to carry the natural gas to Beaumont. Oxy-acetylene welding will seal every joint, replacing the old method of screw couplings, thus reduc- ing the upkeep of the line to the van ishing point, and conserving a great quantity of gas from the leakage which has always been unavoidable with threaded joints.
 also made estimates of the probable in- crease in acreage, the increases ranging from 3 to per cent. The general expectation is that the government re- nGrt will show an average condition of G7. No report on acreage will be issued by the government until July, nor will! there be any crop forecast made on the May 9 condition average. The To- cal market gained about 80 points dur ing New York's closing on the last two days of the week.

CHEMICAL FEATURES WEEK
 FOR BIRMINGHAM
Some Industries Slowing Up, But District Con-
 tinues Showing

Addition of another new chemical factory to the district proved the out standing announcement of building plans reported last week. The plant, understood to be backed by strong fi- nancial resources, is bound to create on impression and in operation will uni doubtedly be a figure in the industrial field.
 Birmingham, as a whole, finds little reason for complaint in business con- ditions. It is true that some of the larger industries are operating on curtailed schedules, but compared to the the election year, it shows up creditably. are following a cautions path during the election year, it shows up creditable. There can be no feeling. of pessimism when one reviews the Various expan- sion programs of industries here.
 In the city proper there is consider able building activity and though only two large structures are in the pro- cess of erection downtown, an aggregate figure of the amount now being in- vested in new smaller business houses --one, two and three story buildings would run surprisingly high.
 Another Hotel
 Rumors of yet another hotel have
 
 counted in some circles by the argu- ment that with the Redmont, Metropo. Titan, additions to the Tutwiler. the Altamont, New Plaza, and Athletic club, the demand for accommodation will be fairly we'll taken cafe of al- though it is admitted that there is a dearth of space now.
 The real estate market continues ex- ceedingly active and although the large majority of transactions are apparently made for speculation, it is usually true that juggling precedes building boom. Activity now is centering largely in the northeast of the business district but supporters of the south side confidently expect that they will soon get their inning.
 Iron remains dull although producers are firm in their expectations of betY ter business later in the month when the third quarter buying is expected to start in. Few of the companies are allowing surpluses to accumulate. Ship ments are being made to the west and north with a few sales to. adjacent ter ritory.
 Operations in the steel industry are on a somewhat curtailed basis. Home consumption, particularly in structural steel, is on the upgrade and it is said that the date is not far distant when the district will take care of all of it's present production.
 Coke and coal have remained in a firm position especially the former. Buying of coal is undergoing it's sea- sonal slump and later in the summer is expected to resume an energetic aspect

Our taxes seem high-But?
 We sweat under and swear about our income taxes. But what would we do if we lived in England? Or France, Or Germany?
 Look at the chart above and then thank your lucky stars that you pay your respects, in taxes, to Uncle Sam. Under the income tax laws which have been in force until now, our own gov ernment takes only $6S on every $5,O00 income, provided there are two depend ent children. Germany takes $292 i; France, $900 and Great Britain, $320.
 It's a similar story for incomes all along the way up. When we go above incomes listed on the chart, we find that:

SOUTHERN PINE RETAIL SALES
 SHOW INCREASE
Analysis Of 1923 Ship ments From Six States
 Made Public

NEW ORLEANS. June 1.-An analysis of survey of the distribution in 1923 of shipments Of southern pine lumber and timber agsreSatinG 2.132.. 429000 feet, to 42 states and Canad2 by 102 mills in I.ouisians. Texas. Ark ansas. Mississippi, Alabama anG Flor ida. was made public today by Secre- tary-Managcr II. C. Borecks oE the Southern Pine association. A similar survey was made of the distribution of 2,011 .622, ,0o0 feet in 1922
 Although ths quantity upon which the 1925 survey was based. represents only about 20 per cent ot tbe total distribution Of that year. the figures are regarded as indicating with 'ep- proximate accuracy the per cent of the total output of southern pins that was taken by the retail. wholesale. rail- road and industrial trade in the various states and the approximate percent age of consumption of pine. by each of the states excepting probably those on the South Atlantic seaboard.
 Texas held its lead in retail distri- button and in total consumption, as did Illinois in the wholesale field, while Michigan took the lead in in. dustrial consumption from Texas, which ranked first in 1922. In rail- road consumption, Texas displaced Illinois for first position.
 In the retail field 26 states took a larger percentage of the total distribu- ton in 1923 titan in 1922. while 16 states showed q smaller 1923 consump- tion. Despite the larger number of in- creascs. retail distribution, as a whole in it's relation to tota! distribution, de- creased from 1922. In sthe wholesale field, 15 states registered increases over 1922, while 2 showed declines. The most pronounced gain in wholesale shipments was to Texas, which in- creased from 5.9 per cent of total dis tribution to wholesalers in 1922, to 9.3 per cent in 1923. Notable gains in wholesale takings also were recorded in Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi.
 Thirteen states showed increases in industrial distribution in 1923, while 23 reflected declines. The outstanding gain was in Michigan, which took 13.7 per cent as compared to only 45 per cent in 1922. Other notable gains in this class were recorded in Illinois, Indiana and Missouri.
 In the railroad field, the gains and decreases were about evenly divided, 19 states showing increases over 1922 and 20 states showing decreases.
 In total distribution, the survey showed that 9 states in 1923 increased over 1922, while 20 states and Canada recorded decreases.

FORESEES HUMAN
 WIRELESS COMING
Animals Have Waves Is Novel
 Disease Theory

Copyright. 1924, in U. 8. and Canada. by
 North American Newspaper Alliance.)
 Recalling the experiments of Char cot and William James, in Paris, Georges Lakhovsky, who has done pro- found research work in radioactive energy, is conducting experiments which he predicts will result in the possi- bility of human communication by emanAtions, or waves, from the body. James and Charcot, placing a subject in sataleptic state, in a dark room, observed blue emanations from the ex- tremities on one side of the beay-and orange on the other side-possibly com parable to positive and negative electric impulsions.
 After many years, during which the work of the earlier scientists was al- most forgotten, Lakhovsky summarizes the results of his inquiries ill the def mite statement that these carnations exist, and predicts that they will be used in human wireless" communica- tion. All animals, he says, have such waves, radiating from their bodies, and he explains mysterious communications of animals by this. He offers this hypothesis as explaining such facts as the Mason bees extraordinary sense of direction, which bafflel aFIenri Fabre; the sureness of migratory birds, in fly ing in perfect formation toward an ob- jective, even in the darkest night, and the power of predatory insects and birds in searching out their prey.
 NJ. Lakhovsky predicts, furthermore, that understanding of these waves will add immeasurably to the resources of physicians in diagnosing disease. His theory is that the human body emana- tions vary uniformly in accordance with the germ causing sickness, and that it will be possible to ascertain from them the nature of the illness and combat it by opposed radiation.

 On incomes of $10O.OO0, Great Brit ain takes S43,450; France, $29, Germany, $30.40 the United States. $30,976.
 Of course, this isn't brief against lower taxes. It is merely to point out a silver lining in our tax clouds-the fact that even though we may think our income taxes high, we live in 6 most favored nation.
 Many will think that under the new income tax schedules, now imminent. our taxes will still be high. Perhaps so-but look again at the chart above if you feel that way. And then, re- member that although we want and should have all tax reductions which are consistent with good and efficient administration of the jaws, we cannot expect to live in such a country as ours without paying for the privilege.

One Year To Live
By Webster
sy JOHN HUNTER

It is easy to say you counted the days," she said.
 Had you come back I might never have been La Phalene."
 His eyes flashed angrily and then softened.
 That" he said quietly, lis lie." She flushed. What do you mean "'
 That attitude of indifference; this show of extravagance. I read it in your face that afternoon when I called on you about Ahmed You are acting as much off the stage as on. You are not La Phalene-but Elise Duchanier still.
 Her hands moved hopelessly, though she tried to restrain their movement. "You deceive yourself. It would be very much better for you to go back to America and forget all about Paris and me-"
 He abandoned his assertiveness, and tried another avenue of attack.
 Why doStou do it?' he asked gent. ly. Please don't deny that it is make believe any more, will you? You are suffering and you are making me suf- fer, Why?"
 She knew that any moment she might lose all control of herself and reveal the pitiful sham she was practicing. She would only be inflicting on him a share of her own agony. It was best for him to go away, best that the mem- ory of Elise should be wiped out by the cold indifference of La Phalene.
 II admit that am nervous and troubled. It was because of my folly that those two men quarrelled, and I don't think shall ever forget it. It has brought me to the verge of a breakdown. Apart from that I have everything one can wish for-admira- tion. wealth, fame-what more can I askY"
 He said: Love" She smiled. Love comes afterwards. You had no time for love while build ing up your wealth."
 God help me, had not" he said. But love came to me, and I think love has come to you." He stepped closer to her. "You love me-" he said evenly.
 She shook her head. \
 How can you deny it? Elise-just tell me that you love me, that you are the girl whose memory l have treas ured all these months"
 Her face was averted so that he could only see its profile. Acting on the urge of an impulse, he stepped close to her and put his hand on her shOul- der. She twisted, so that his grip fell away, and, with that, his arms went about her. He stopped as though to kiss her
 "If-of you don't let me go shall die of shame" she gasped. None of the others has ever dared this. And that you of all of them"
 His arms fell and he stepped back. She stood, swaying, white and shaken.
 He said at last II can find no words-there is nothing to, say. Only I love you so, and can't bear to stand by and watch you-as you are. That is all"
 He did not wait for her to speak, but turned abruptly and walked from the room.
 He did not regret having taken her in his arms. The momentary shame which had succeeded the action had given place to defiant exultation. She loved him. She had shown it in those moments, had shown it clearly.
 Why she should deny it, why she should try to send him away, passed his comprehension. The thought that her departure savored more of flight

MONTH OF MAY SEES MARKETS
 REGAIN STRIDE
Confidence Of Financial Community In Business
 Outlook Returns
BY EDWARD J. CONDLON By Leased Wire to The Age.


 NEW YORK, June 1.-The month of May has been more than a mere period of transition. It has seen un- limited bear ammunition expended It has seen the decline in stock prices ar- rested, temporarily at least. It has seen the stock market react to the pas sage of the bonus bill and subsequently, recover. But more than that, it has witnessed the return of confidence on the part of the financial community in outlook for business.
 Decline in steel production. sharp cuts in the textile industry and lower prices in the metal markets have all made their imprint on the stock list during the month of May. But with the worst of the news out, some of the bear arguments heard in recent weeks now appear dull and quite stale. That we are in for boom market is hardly likely. The lack of public interest in the market in the past fortnight, as evil denced by the small turnover in stocks, precludes~ any very extensive pool operations, and the investment demand is now chiefly concerned with few of the high-grade railroad and industrial issues.
 Wait On (, -,gress
 Just as soon as Congress has ad- journed, it is expected that many trad CTS who have been temporarily out of the market will re-enter it with a view to going on record as expressing con- fidence in the general outlook.
 A presidential year has added to the uncertainties of the future, but the legislative record of the present con gress will cause Wall street to breathe q sigh of relief, once the gavel has banged on the second to the motion to adjourn.
 The repeated assertions of Secretary Mellon that fundamental business con ditions are sound should go a long way toward reassuring, not only the finan- cial community, but the country at large.
 A glance at the prices of leading commodities as compared with the quo- tations of a month ago reveal many irregularities. No. 1 spring wheat is more than , cents higher than it was month ago, while corn and oats are fraction of cent lower. Flour, beef and pork have been advanced. while lard is substantially lower. Coffee is shade lower, but refined sugar has dropped more than a cent in response to the revised figures on the Cuban crop, which show greater production than during any season since the war.
 With the exception of silver and zinc the metal markets are all lower. The rip market has dropped z c, and the copper market 12c on the dull demand from Central Europe.
 One of the firmer spots in the finan- cial structure has been the cotton mar Get, taking the month of may as a whole. Middling uplands are quoted at nearly 2Hac above the prices ruling at month ago, due to the unfavorable weather in the South. Private reports in the condition of the crop make the figure 66.9 per cent. which compares with the average of 70.6 per cent this time year ago made by the same cobcerns.

 Yet he thought he could find out. Lolette might know, for Lolette knew so many people who knew Elise.

 They're burning daylight" in Lon. don. The new method of Neon light ing produces what is said to be the best imitation of daylight yet achieved. Engineers and physicians throughout Great Britain are watching experi- ments now in progress with intense in- terest, on the theory that this lighting plan may eventually greatly minimize eye-troubles, which have been increas- ing under modern living conditions.
 The Coliseum of London will be the first large public building to be equipped with Neon lights. Instead of the ordinary vacuum bulb, the Neon light is glass tube containing Neon gas, at pressure greatly below that of ordinary atmospheric pressure Two metal electrodes are placed at opposite ends of the tube, and a high-voltage alternating current is passed between them. In this instance the direct cur rent of London is converted into an alternating current by rotary converter.
 Neon is one of the "dead gases," mak- ing up a slight proportion of the atmos- phere.
