Corn, Wheat and Oats Close
at a Decline With Advance in
Provisions.
Chicago.— Faster Belling than has been
seen for weekH, much of it believed to
be for leading bulls, swept down prices
today In corn. Argentine offers, lower
than ever, and Ideal weather to prepare
for the new domestic crop gave the
greater part of the impetus. The close
wa* weak, 3-4a7-8 to 1 5-8 cent under
last night. Wheat showed a net de
cline of 5-8 to 7-8 and oats of 3-8 to
l-2ao-8 cent. In provisions the outcome
was an advance of 7 1-2 to 15 cents.
General rain*, particularly beyond the
Missouri river, took the wheat market
down grade. The timely supply of
moisture virtually stopped the drought
talk from both the winter ami the
spring crop belts. Heeding In the Da
kotan and Minnesota was reported as
50 to 75 per cent complete. Corn weak
ness, too, Induced considerable selling,
in oat* the market felt the effect of

WEEK IN COTTON
New York. —Quite a reactionary sen
timent developed in the local cotton
market immediately after the Easter
holidays. It was argued that during a
full month of active covering the short
interest must have been much reduced
and that a scattering long interest had
accumulated on ttie udvance. Thie rea
soning combined with the appearance of
better weather south, nervousness over
the Mexican situation, anti withdrawal
of the near-month support which has
been so active before the holidays, en
couraged considerable selling, but at a
break of about 50 points on May and of
20 to 30 points on later months offerings
became smaller, while there also seemed
to be renewed demand from recent
prominent buyers.
Trading, however, was less active on
the rally toward tlie end of the week,
and talk around the ring suggested a
more or less unsettled sentiment, with
many traders expressing determination
to operate conservatively pending freslt
developments tri the spot situation or a
nearer view of the new crop start. The
return of a little cotton here from Liver
pool has been accompanied by rumors
of further sgXill shipments from that
source, and some cotton has also been
arriving here from the South. It 1b said,
too that domestic yarn stocks are ac
cumulating and there has been talk of
slued time In that connection.
On the other hand the Inspection bu
reau Is still reported to be rejecting a
large proportion of the cotton received
here Manchester reports have indicated
continued activity at that point; the sta
tistical position has strengthened owing
to continued full spinners takings; that
census report showed domestic mill con
sumption for the month of March well
up to lhe recent high average and'
southern advances hate Indicated little
or no change In the Interior spot mar
y,.\ h These conflicting features have
doubtless contributed to the uncertainty
expressed as to the merits of the oilier
crop situation at the higher level, while
0„> resumption of the official dally and
weekly weather reports for the season
has aiso tended to turn trade attention
In'new eropjnonths whleh have shown
relatively Increased activity and have
seamed m attract some commission
house buying on declines.

Money-Making Ways
of Using Want Ads
Improving Your Working Force
Efficiency Through Want Ads
Mr. Employer, your whole problem of efficiency in your office,

If you could eecure your entire force with the tame etendard
of merit that two or three of your beet empleyeee hive, you
would make more money.
You havo purlin is run a Want Ad now and then—have tilled
up your number, and have stopped iming the Want Ad.
Why not keep your Want Alh running continuously?
Out of the many wild apply, you will certainly Hemro a few
who are good,
Keep up this process until you have the highest poeelble work*

wetk In office; former expert- son between 9 and 10 n. m.
erice not necessary, but Tuesday.
Whatever you sell, or make, Is good or bad In accordance with
the worth of your workmen und other 4ielp.
Out of every fifteen persona employed, ns the "average" of es.
flelency runs, about t"i> uro either In th" reHt room or lagging
in their work all the time; another ten are only a third or liuir
efficient; another ten are likely Just “passable."
No matter what kind of help you want, follow this Idea Do
rit)t the tame Want. A'l running- Word Ih differently, and
embody the Ideas that prove best.
Het aside a certain hour to Interview applicants, and turn this
work over to your most competent man.
