A private crop re port published by a New Orleans au thority placed the condition at 80 per cent., against the official report of g9 5 last May, but commented on scarcity of labor and the possibility at some acreage would be aban doned on that account.

Offerings were light and it took only a limited aggregate nf hnvine- in lift. th market. The general tone was nervous. Opening prices, which varied from unchanged figures to l-4c lower, with June not suoted and July 1.32 1-2 to 1.32 7-8, fere followed by a little further sag M then an advance to well above jesterday's finish.

This is a decrease of $9,010, 710 from last week. GEILFUSS MAY TAKE THE STAND TODAY STOCK MARKETS New York, June. 1. Trading in stocks today was wholly influnced by the tension in the war situation. The active list fell back sharply at the outset, but made moderate recoveries la er on the more hopeful tone of. the French bulletin. Marine preferred was again the sensational feature, opening at a decline of 1 1-2 points, but immediately rallied six points only to forfeit virtually all of its gain at the end. Standard rails and a few equip ments fully regained their losses on the short covering of the final deal ings. The closing was irregular. Sales approximated 300,000 shares.

Tea is not a food within the meaning oft he British food controller's order against hoard ing, according to a decision handed down by the King's Bench division of the High Court of Justice. The case under review was that of a woman who had been fined $250 for accumulating 122 pounds of England's favorite bevrage. The controller's anti-hoarding order reads: "For the pur pose of this order the expression 'ar ticle of food' shall include eevry ar ticle which is used for food by man, or which ordinarily enters into the composition or preparation of human food." The court said: "Unless tea could be got within the word 'food' it could not come within the prohibition. The appellant acquired dry tea leaves. So that what she ate was something dif ferent from what she bought. If she had acquired a drink there would have been no prosecution. It would be straining the order to say that the word 'food includes tea leaves." NEW ECONOMY ORDER IS BEING PREPARED London, May 29. The paper con troller i3 preparing a new economy or der which will come Into effect in abou a month and will contain these provisions : Newspapers, periodicals, etc., to be distributed for sala only, not to be re turned.

Members of the senate military committee at their weekly conference today with war de partment officials were told by Gen eral March, acting chief of staff, that opinion here is that the Germans have reached their present objective the Marne and that they will probably dig in and prepare for a later drive perhaps on Paris. With the Germans within 45 miles of Paris, the situation, the senators were told, is serious. Military experts here, they were advised, are a unit in realizing the dangers confronting the allies. Anderson, S. C, June 1. A. Geil tass, the wealthy Spartanburg baker, fa trial in federal court here on a charge of receiving stolen goods from fte government, was expected to take the stand in his own defense about noon today. At yesterday's session f the court the prosecution closed its wse and a number of character wit nesses were introduced by the de fense, including the mayor of Spar tanburg. Carpenters at work on the Geflfuss home testified that they had wen soldiers come t othe house, but never seen any of them bring any fondles. The case may reach the jury tonight.

PROGRAM OF TAXATION STOCK MARKET FEATURE Crop Prospects Obscured by War Situation Long Stock Liquidation New York, June 1. The govern ment's proposed program of taxation and" the war situation were the out standing events of the week in the stock market, alternating at times in their relative importance. Brilliant crop prospects, which add ed stimulus to general business, the money market and general extension of industrial organization were often obscured by the more pressing devel opments atTWashington and along the French battlefront. Liquidation of long stock was oc casionally induced by foreign ad vices, the active list, as a whole, un dergoing moderate impairment. Rails at times proved more susceptible than shares of less intrinsic vaitie. The heaviness of certain of the high grade, or investment rails, was ascribed by rumor to enforced sales for enemy alien account. Industrial conditions were visibly strengthened by the greater co-operation between the government and producers and practically all steel and iron mills are booked to full capacity until 19.20. Payment of taxes and other matu rities may effect some hardening of the money market for the next fort night. Money rates on some of the neu tral countries became more variable. As a general thing, the kind of man who is too good for this world hasn't got much of this world's goods. Our idea of a pacifist is the man who climbs a tree while his wife is fighting the wolf at their door. All thoughts, passions and delights are but ministers of love and feed hig sacred flame.
