advices were not encouraging, conse-
quently our market opened 1 to points
lower. subsequently advanced to 4
points on fresh buying, but declined 6
points later on near months and to 4
points on late in anticipation of a ia
vorable weather report. Upon the is
suance of the detailed report it was fully
up to expectations The summary from
Washington, however, was not so good;
therefore room traders bought, occasion
ing a reaction. making the close on old
crop options practically unchanged,
whereas the new were about 1 point
lower The summary of the weekly

Generally throughout the cotton belt,
however fields are clean and the crop has

Speculation is dormant and the demand
from spinners is lacking. The movement
is light; consequently no disposition is
shown to sell short speculatively. The
anticipated revival in spots looked for

peace being practically declared between

materalize; in other words every one
seems satisfied to wait for further de-
velopments before entering into new en-
gagements. The fact that hollis are al
ready reported from southwest Texas

Mississippi and Alabama proves that this

would indicate that an early movement

BALTIMORE PROVISIONS.
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 27.-Today's stock
market was an irregular drift over a
fractional range, for the most part below
yesterdays closing level. There were
few exceptions among minor stocks. The
recent demand for Wisconsin Central
stock continued accompanied by rumors
of buying for control. There was an up
ward movement in sugar when the re-
port reached Wall Street of a confer
ence of Senators to attempt an agree
ment upon Cuban reciprocity, but the
stock dropped back when the conference
adjourned without action. A rise OF
nearly 2 points in American Locomotive
seemed a supplement to that of yes
terday in the car stocks. Pressed Steel
Car reacted sharply over three points
on the emphatic denial of yesterdays
rumors of a merger with the American
Car Company. Canadian Pacific con-
tinued by far the most active stock in
the list. 1t dropped sharply "a in the
first few minutes of trading, but was
rallied by arbitrage buying from Canad-
ian centers where the absorption Of the
stock continued at figures above the New
York level. The reaction was considered
result of the speculation which has
followed the rise. but the conviction
remains in Wall Street that important
developments are pending in the property.
The absence of developments in the coal
strike situation did not prevent the re-
pressive influence exercised by the strike,
which is emphasized by the increasing
scarcity of coal and the growing effect
on other industries. The Government
weekly crop bulletin may have had some
unfavorable effect because of the Delay
to seeding of the corn crop reported. A

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, May 27.-The cotton market
opened easy and unchanged to three
points lower under scattering sales by
the room contingent and absence OF liz
eral speculative support from the COM
mission house contingent. The Liver
pool cables were disappointing and the
crop reports from private sources were
generally favorable. Immediately after
the call the market took turn Tor
the better on a similar scare of shorts
and buying for European accounts, start
ed by claims that boil weevils were in
juring the cotton plant in portions OF the
western belt. But this support soon
fell off to struggling, Indifferent vol
ume, the list slowly but surely lost the
advance and later became weak in re-
Spouse to a decline in Liverpool ana
New Orleans. Toward midday the mark
ct rallied again on covering only to once
more sell off in the absence of substan-
tial public buying. The bear faction
counted upon a very favorable govern
ment report to Offset the abnormally
light nc cement of the old crop and the
strong statistical position generally.
Soon after midday the weekly govern
ment report made its appearance and
indicated generally favorable conditions
except that some fields were grassy, and
that the plant was suffering to some
extent from lice and boil weevil in
Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama. On this
showing the market stiffened up sharply,
and at the close ruled quiet and steady
with prices net unchanged to two points
higher. The shorts feared that Liver
pool will tomorrow place bullish con-
struction upon the Government report
and will send buying orders to represen-
tatives here.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
New Orleans, La. May 27.-There was
little strength displayed in the market
for spot cotton today. Quotations are
unchanged.
The future market was very dull, the
opening showing losses of one to three
points, but these were subsequently, re-
gained, and a 4 to point advance re-
corded on the active months. There was
some life infused into the market by the
receipt of the weekly Government crop
report. The increase of the weevil and
lice trouble in Texas induced some little
buying that sent prices up, leaving them
at the close from 1 point up to / point
down, compared with yesterdays closing.

market has grown so easy, at or below

Importance as a factor. But while the
money rate shows an easy condition 1t
may easily be that consideration of the
money situation present and prospective
has an influence against the policy OF
present large borrowings for speculative
purposes. Opinion is by no means agreed
in Wall Street as to the effect upon this
market of a declaration of peace in
South Africa The small effect produced
here in contrast with the speculative &C
tivity abroad by the current rumors OF
peace awakened conjecture here. Of
course there is the possibility of mis-
carriage of the negotiation, but there is
also a possibility that the activity in
speculation and investment aroused by
the end of The South African war will
be diverted in foreign securities. shaken
down as they have been by long period
of liquidation following industrial de-
preston. An awakening of speculative
and industrial activity abroad would be
likely to lead to the withdrawal of large
amounts of foreign capital now placed
in New York in bankers loans. The
effect could hardly be salutary upon
American financial affairs.
The bond market was dull and irregu-
lar. Total sales par value $1,790,000

COMMERCIAL REPORT.
Western Msrksts Note the Growth Of Sales
for Spring Continued Strength In &C.
reals-Hogs and Produce Higher


New York, Feb. 15.-Bradstreet's
commercial report says: Sales for
spring account, demand for manufac-
lures and industrial operations gen
orally are expanding, while prices are
hardening. Specially good reports
come from the west and northwest
and the leading eastern markets also
note the growth Of sales for spring.
Least favorable advices come from the
south and southwest, though Chicago
notes exceptionally large buying by
wholesalers from these sections. Wa
ter is reported scarce and railways
are reported hauling 1t 100 miles.
Kansas City and St. Louis, therefore,
report relatively the least favorable
reports for long time past.
Continued strength Is to be noted
in all the cereals and -four, fractional
advances being shown during the
week. while hog products, country
produce generally, iron and steel and
other metals are also quoted higher.
The highest prices in years have been
reached by butter and eggs as a re-
suit OF the cold weather, which in the
northern part Of the country, partic-
ularly in the east. has checked ship
ments and impeded collections. The
advance in raw cotton has been rapid,
No for the week and Hc since the
present movement began.
Despite car shortages, which reduce
supplies Of fuel, cause banking of fur
naces and prevent shipments of fin
ished products, production and de-
mand for iron and steel are going for
ward at a record-breaking rate. The
iron trade, in fact, appears to have
awakened suddenly to the fact that
January production and presumably
consumption was the largest ever re-
ported in any month Of any year.
The present pig iron production is
claimed to be at rate Of 100000
tons per year. Scarcity Of pig iron,
steel billets and other crude materials
is It'll feature and high premiums
are being paid for prompt deliveries.
Business failures in the United
States for the week number 265, as
against 247 last week, 228 in this week
last year, 1919 in 1900, 100 in 1899 and
