TRADING IN STOCKS
J IS PROFESSIONAL
Bethlehem Steel Partly Re
asserts Leadership—Ir
regular Changes
New York, May 6.—The foreign sit
uation was less of a depressing factor
in today’s stock market but trading
was subject to some restraint and ir
regular price changes. In the course of
the early decline leading stocks went as
low or lower than at yesterday’s close,
but general improvement was shown in
the final dealings, the movement being
. concurrent with semi official advices
which suggested some reduction of the
strain between Austria and Italy.
In the main, the day's operations were
professional. Bethlehem Steel partly
reasserted its recent leadership. Pressed
Steel Car, the locomotive issues, some
\ others and petroleums scored advances
of 2 to 4 points, but Westinghouse
failed to hold its recent prominence.
There were rumors that the Amal- j
gamated Copper company is to dissolve,
v’lth resuftant benefits to its share
holders, as well as to Anaconda, which
now controls the operations of the
Amalgamated company.
Total sales, 616,000 shares.

COTTON RECOVERS
ITS LOS] STRENGTH
Shorts Attempt to Take
Profits and Prices
Mount Up
New Orleans, May 6.—Cotton react
ed smartly from the decline today, the
movement having- its inception in the
attempt of recent short sellers to take
profits. In the early trading prices
responded to the weakness of Liver
pool but the market refused to follow
the English decline very far. At a
level 8 to 10 points under yesterday’s
close the demand became greater than
the ring could supply and there was
a quick recovery of the early loss.
Prices mounted over the level of yes
terday’s close and in the late after
noon were at their best, 26 to 28 poinls
up from the bottom and 17 to 20 points
over yesterday’s finals. The close was
at a net gain of 14 to 16 points.
ftains in Texas did much to stumlatc
the buying of the morning while a ru
mor that Italy had declared war on
Austria was an Important influence as
was also the report that China and
Japan were coming to an amicable un
derstanding. The strongest period of
*he session was in the afternoon fol
lowing the report that snow was tail
ing in the pan handle of Texas. Pres
sure to sell from the short side was
almost entirely absent today.

action of the democrat! anfTat my request,
signed his name to the Interview."
"Your book 'The Game of Empires.’ sug
gests the fact that you have known the
game of politics and InternaSsJMii prob
lems as few men do," I suggested, "which
has made the writing of your book a most
Interesting one.”
"The war situation interests me tremen
dously," said Mr. Van Zlle and especially
the kaleidoscope changes that war has
made within the last few years In the
views held by Americans regarding cer
tain nations, only recently considered by
us remote, Insignificant and negligible.
For Instance, I had the pleasure of an
Interview with Minister Kurlno, who had
been sent to Washington from Japan Just
before the outbreak of war hetween Ja»
pan and China. I may say to Illustrate
my point. It seems but a short time ago,
but recent history has made the first
question I put to Mr. Kurlno utterly ab
surd. How, I asked him. was a nation
of 40,000,000 going to defeat a nation of
400,000,000. H’s answer was both prophetic
and enlightening. ’Japan,' he said. ’Is, as
you have called It, a nation of 40.000,000.
China la merely a collection of 400,000.000
detached units.’ I considered his reply at
that time an amusing exhibition of orien
tal ‘bounce.’ I’ve since seen that Minister
Kurlno’s words contained the very pith
and marrow of the far eastern problem.”

Cotton Seed- Oil
New York, May 6.—The early market for
cotton seed oil was weakened by southern
selling, lower crude and a lack of support
from refiners, but near the close It rallied
on covering and was finally 3 to 9 points
net lower. Sentiment Was rather bearish
owing to the recent heavy tenders. Sales,

SLIGHT RECOVERY
The Week-End Demand for
Strawberries Heavy—Fruit
and Produce Plentiful
The week-end demand for strawberries
is heavy on Morris avenue, but large
shipments are now arriving from the
southern part of the state and the sup
ply is expected to be large enough to
supply the wants of Birmingham con
sumers. Fruits and produce are also
plentiful in the wholesale district at this
time, and the poultry and egg market is
active. Grain prices are firm.
The local cotton market showed im
provement yesterday, the price advancing
an eighth. The quotation at the close
yesterday I>V*c on a good middling basis.
An indication of improvement in Chino
Japanese situation Is said to be partly
responsible for the partial recovery ir
cotton prices.

DECLINE IN COTTON
FOLLOWEDBY RALLY
Advance Not Fully Main
tained and Close Is
Barely Steady
New York. May 6.—A further decline at
the opening of the cotton market today
was followed by a rally of approximately
$1.50 per bale, and while the advance was
not fully maintained with the close barely
steady, last prices still showed net gains
of from 10 to 15 points.
There appeared to be a good many over
night selling orders around the ring at the
opening, while pressure was also encour
aged by the very weak showing of the
Liverpool cables, and the market started
at a decline of 11 to 16 points on the old
crop and of 2 to 5 points on new crop
months. Liverpool houses were heavy
sellers, as this decline did not meet the
English break and there was also further
scattering liquidation from southern and
western sources. Around 9..W for July and
8.89c for October contracts, there wss \ cry
heavy buying, however, and prices soon
steadied. Wall street houses traded both
ways, but bought heavily on balance,
while there was also a consldei able de
mand attributed to spinners or some of
the larger trade houses. This, combined
with the unfavorable western belt fore
cast and reassuring early advices ns to
far eastern political conditions, served to
encourage rather a more aggressive de
mand from local bulla, and prices sold
about 11 to 18 points net higher around
midday. The advance was checked ai
this level by realising and slight reac
tions followed reports that Oiina had re
ceived the Japanese ultimatum, but the
market developed renewed firmness dur
ing the middle of the afternoon on re
ports of heavy rains In Texas and Okla
homft with active months selling ]9 to '.’2
points net higher. Realizing was active
enough to cause reactions of 8 or 9 points
from the best In the late trading.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.’a Letter
New York, May 6.—(Special.)—It ap
pears from cable advices that the un
aocountable weakness In Liverpool for
the past week has been due to the sell
ing by the English government against
the cotton they have taken from the
vessels bound for continental ports which
they have detained. Under the old con
ditions American buying orders would
have absorbed these hedges and pre
vented the disastrous decline, but the
Liverpool market alone was not large
enough to do so In addition to what they
the already carrying; so Liverpool broke
down until It was actually selling below
the freight difference and our market In
time was adversely affected.
The result Is due to legislation and not
to commercial reasons. From the open
ing today the American markets steadily
advanced under the adverse crop reports
while the Liverpool market hardly ad
vanced at all.

Prices Average Lower and
Close Is Unsettled at
Decline
Chicago. May 6.—Wheat averaged
lower today owing chiefly to the con
tinued generally excellent outlook for
the domestic crop. The close was un
settled V ® lo under last night. Corn
finished (ft tyc to down; oats
were off to >4 @ %c. and provis
ions ranging from 20c decline to a rise
of 10c.
Although wheat values at the outset
Bhowed an appearance of strength, the
bears soon were in a majority.
Corn weakened with wheat. Ohio and
Indiana were said to be under selling
Chicago.
Good rains and the absence of any
important shipping rail made oats re
cede with corn and wheat.
Provisions were unsettled by a decline
in the hog market.

WHEN a dealer offers you
a substitute for ‘the
article you want, tell
him what you think of him
||| ELL him he is dis

dealing at his store and
acquaint your friends
with his slippery prac
tices. The trouble with
most of us is, we treat
the substitution evil far
too lightly. Substitution
is an increasing menace.
It is dangerous, because
it destroys the ideals of
young clerks starting
out in life and gives
them a wrong concep
tion of business ethics.
In nine cases out of ten
they want to tell the
truth, but the unscrup
ulous shop keeper insists
on deceit for the few dol
lars extra it puts into
his till. Or maybe it’s
an intermediate boss,
who wants to make a
showing. The merchant
himself mav be guiltless.
Refuse “substitutes” or
“just as goods” and
you’ll help to quickly
abolish his 1'orm of de

ceplion.
WHEN you ask for an
article advertised
in this paper, be sure
and get it. If the dealer
says he is “just out of
it,” tell him he can get it
