THE MQRNlNaSTAR, WILMINGTON, N. C, MONDAY, "MAX;! 3, ,191 8 SEVEN. FINANC1L;:D HIGHER COTTON;, PRICES - ,-NL' 'lBfavoriibl Crop Reports and Improv. ed Situation in Spots Stimulated ' BuytegwWlde Rangrea. v jfew Orleans, , La.. May , 12. Higher prices prevailed" In cotton last week, 'buying being stimulated by unfavora ble crop accounts and the better "situa tion in the spot-department. Lowest jVvels were made on theropenlng'.aes. flion and the highest prices were reach j toward the end of the" week when the active months were 22 to 272 points 4bove the close of the preceding wee"k On tne me ciosmg session a wave of liquidation was encountered which pared down the gain materially and the net changes for the . weekv were ad vances of 110 to 155 potnts. ' The gist of crop accounts-was "that the stand was poor and that much re planting was found necessary, while thegrowth of the plant was slow. In the spot markets of the south the highest basis on record was reported on hedged cotton as the result of a de maml which appeared tov come chiefly from American ; mills, although there was much talk of an increased foreign export movement.' . . This week is likely to see a "weather market, as crop and weather crop ac counts are the mo?t Important features in sight. Returns from the belt will probably be more or less conflicting. for the indications are that the market will open on reports of rain while the weekly -government accounts, due Wed nesday, probably will be favorable. Spot news will be important, espe cially if any further strengthening of demand is noted. r FOOD ADMINISTRATION ADDS NEW DIVISION Manager Appointed" to Handle' the Sn ,- gar Department.

Mrs. Graves of Wake Forest, Champion Swine Grower of State. (Special Stor Correspondence.) " Raleigh, May 13. If you. ask Dan T. Gray, the best swine expert in the coun try, if 600 per "cent, can foe made on an investment in pigs, he would unHesitat ingly say "No." Yet this is the iftrcent agethat Mrs. R. F. Graves, of Wake Forest, figures that she made -on, three Pigs or which she paid $15 a year ago In addltion to the $15 the additional cost to Mrs. Graves in raising and tin ishing her pigs . was 415, . which she paid for lour bags of mill feed and one bag of ! velvet bean meal i X Mrs. Graves fed her pigs upon the scraps from her kitchen an,d on re fuse from the garden. In December (her pigs had become hogs and she sold one o fthem for $37.35. In February she sold the second one for $50. ? She has just recently sold eight pigs from the third for $8 a piece, making the total returns from sales $141.75 and a brood sow which 4s left.is -worth not lsss than $50. Another litter of eight or ten pigs is expected the latter part, of the sum mer ana will maice nice porkers by mldwinter , or early spring. : - Mrs. Graves has "developed into an enthusiastic swine grower. In figuring her percentage ofi,, returns, Mrs. Graves doesn't count in-the cost of. attention tothe pigs.- They are her hobby and she says " would be a joke to charge againstthe pigs the time required for their attention. , - GAS DRILL the American soldiers throughout 2 British and .French officers, . who T'.T" i.us.w.n ffPnf u - . . , . rWbfe a attack of this 7htxencb.V Even th. photographed - . . , THEWEATHEH. - United' States .
