 issues were weak for the common and pre- ferred stocks, but the bonds made slight gains as rule for the day. The weak ness in the stock Is due to the announce ment that the latest reorganization plan, as announced from Berlin, provides for a heavy assessment on the common and pre- ferred stocks. It is worthy of note that brokers in touch with the leading German banking interest were buyers of the bonds today The rise in July wheat made number of bears on stocks in the last hour and the operators for lower prices were more aggressive than for some time past. Under pressure of stocks for both long and short accounts, the market closed weak in tone.

Sun's Cotton Review.


 New York, May 20.-The Suns cotton re- view says: f@4
 Cotton rose 9 to Il points and closed firm, with sales of 2S5, ,500 bales. Liverpool ad- vanced 1-32d on the spot, with sales of 15.- 900 bales. Futures advanced F to Id, clos ing steady. The southern spot markets were iquet, New Orleans. Memphis, Sa- vannah, Augusta and St. Louis advanced 1-16c and Charleston and Norfolk bc. New Orleans sold 2000 bales. Receipts there to- morrow are estimated at 4000 to 500e bales, against 1926 last Tuesday and 10i2 for the same time last year. The Bombay receipts for the half week were 3l, 1000 bales. against 10000 bales last year. The port receipts were 5610 bales, against 5535 bales this day last week and 5261 bales for the same time last year. The port exports were 4433 bales. Spot cotton here was quiet at 1sc advance. Spinners took 72 bales and 1200 were deliy- cred on contract.
 Today's features: Heavy covering of shorts, buying for Europe, large purchase for outsiders put up prices. Bulls were fa- vored by almost everything. The crop ac- counts were bad. Liverpool and Manches- ter were strong, southern prices were ris- ing and the speculation was the largest for many weeks past Old and conservative houses are advising outsiders to buy cot ton and Wall street people and others are making liberal purchases. Many operators expect a big advance this summer The re- cent big rise in grains, stocks and general merchandise inclines the majority of oper ators to take the bull side of cotton. The suspension of a prominent firm was an nounced. but it said it will resume be- fore long.

 MT T. L. Murdoch has returned from trip to the west and northwest. He says that while in Chicago he talked with many of the big operators on change and they were of the opinion that wheat would touch S5c before June. He says singular fact in this connection is that Chicago is ship ping wheat to Kansas City to be ground, the roads having made an emergency rate of 1872 cents. There was little or no wheat to be had in the section tributary to Kan sas City.
 Mr. Murdoch further stated that the mer- chants of Chicago are very hopeful over the condition of business, and are looking to the south especially for trade in the belief that it is destined to be the most prosperous sec tion of the country.
