New York, May 4.-The counterpoise
Of weakness in the United States Steel
stocks against strength in Union Pa
cihc had the effect of holding the stock
market in a state of practical immo-
bility to-day. The general movement
was narrower and the market more
neglected than at any time since the
present period of dizziness set in.
Both of the United States Steel stocks
touched the lowest prices on the pres
ant reaction, the common getting be-
low 10 and the preferred below So. The
second mortgage bonds were also re-
dictionary. The disruption of the Bes-
semer Ore Association was the assign
ed cause of the selling, and there were
large transactions in the preferred stock
at different times.
The obvious cause of the advance in
Union Pacific was the giving out of a
statement by the head of the system
expressing hopeful views of the bust
ness outlook, especially through the
West. The attitude of the market,
however, was strictly waiting one.

In marked contrast to the upland
cotton situation, where an increased
acreage of 10 per cent. is generally
admitted. is the present status of sea
islands
Factors and dealers in the latter
staple are inclined to the belief that
instead of an increase, there win be
a slump in the new sea island crop.
This condition has been brought about
by the present high price of uplands
as compared with last season, and the
consequent desire on the part of farm
ers to supplant the long staple with
the short staple cotton.
While the season is yet too young
to prognosticate upon, 1t is an ad-
nlitted fact among sea island men
that there will be a falling off in the
acreage, especially in Georgia.
Advices already received indicate that
the counties of Mitchell, ColQutt,

fer their allegiance back to the upland

A few minutes later the Southsidt
