of the crash to steady the market almost
Immediately. Professional Wall Street
perceived the absence of pressure of LONG
stocks in the steel industrials with
cynical lack of surprise. Evidently the
opportunity had been seized to dispose OF
long stock at the higher level of prices
and the shorts were the most eager spec
ulators in the market in endeavors to
cover This pretty clearly indicated
pause in the most aggressive tactics OF
the bear campaign. collateral OBJECT
of that campaign is generally believed to
be to take on various stocks at the lower
level of prices. The pressure of lquida-
ton continued heavy during the first hour
and second drive was made by the
bears at the end of that time, but the
steady absorption of offerings begot

ais and decidedly quieter tone ensued
in the market. Some of the bull pools
which have recently been active. notably
in Missouri Pacific showed a disposition to
resume operation. The undertone of the
market was firm during the latter part
of the day and the closing was strong and
rather active with the steel industrials

an anxious eye on the situation in the

COTTON.

New York April 23.-The cotton market
was disturbed today by conflicting advices
as to crop conditions in general and par
ticularly as to the situation in the flooded
territories. The weakness of the stock
market was another element leading to
speculative hesitation. Our market star
ted steady with prices three points lower
to three points higher and for time local
traders had the market to themselves
Reports of further heavy rains in flood
ed regions of the central belt, with an
unsatisfactory average of crop accounts
from other sections, gave relative firm
ness to the new crop positions. The fact
that there was some pretty brisk buying
for Southern account was construed to be
confirmation of reports of damage by
excessive rains. Following the first call
therefore, the market took level gener-
ally two to six points above Saturdays
closing; but public support failed to ma
terialZe and a new but cautious selling
movement again set in. Prices receded
under this pressure, yet the market was
at no time particularly weak as the fore
casts regarding the movement in the
near future worked towards small figures.
This, with the steadily increasing strength
of statistics, pointing to the smallest visi
BILE supply at the end of the season for
years deprived the shorts of courage
and made the market a small one.
The market closed quiet with prices
points higher to points lower.
