stocks and Bonds.

New York, May 31-The strength
of today's stock market developed In
spots at first, but the few strong stocks
had a sympathetic influence on the
general list, and advances became gem
eraI during the late trading. The tone
was uncertain and hesitating at first.
This was partly due to the influence
of the London market, where the end
ing of the Stock Exchange settlement
caused a pause in activity The set
tlement was concluded without any
damage as a result, probably, of the
considerable recovery of the last few
days in Americans.
japanese bonds in this market con-
tinued to overshadow all others in
prominence, but moved with some lr-
regularity. Realizing in the Japan
certificates was in evidence after the
opening. and the first series, 6's. were
carried to a sharp fractional loss, but
they recovered in company with the
rest of the market, Evidence of pres
sure against the United States Steel
stocks was a factor in turning prices
downwards during the morning. Re-
ports were current that practically all
existing pools and agreements to main
tain prices in the trade were in course
of dissolution following the example
of the steel rail pool. Fears We're
entertained that this would serve to
add to the difficulties of keeping up
prices. and would increase the pressure
TO dispose of stocks.
The upward movement of the lat
ter part of the day received its first
definite impulse from the aggressive
advance in Reading. No immediate
news was forthcoming to explain the
strength of this stock alleging an in
tended increase in the dividend on the
Central of New Jersey, and from these
inference was drawn of a more liberal
dividend policy on the part of the
Reading certificate and the Central of
New Jersey, and this served to arouse
hopes of coming benefits also for Bal
nmore & Ohio, Norfolk & Western and
Chesapeake & Ohio stocks. There was
great deal of revived gossip con-
corning Union Pacific accompanying
the large buying of that stock, but
there was no explicit news. The days
advances were wen up and the market
closed firm. Bonds were firm. Total
sales par value $3.630,000.

of the weekly crop report at midday,

COTTON

New York, May 31-I am advised
That the report of the Southern Cot

ton in acreage, planted or to be plant

year 1913 per cent This is, as might
have been expected, the highest re-
duction reported.
So far as my knowledge goes, there
has never been a crop so extensively
reported upon as the present one.
Thus far there has been published
some eight reports on acreage and
four reports upon condition (they are
:abulated below of the private reports
known to be in preparation. there re-
main only the Journal OF Commerce
and the Financial Chronicle to hear
from. The average Of the reports
thus far published as shown below in

per cent. and a condition Of 74.6. IL
is the opinion Of nearly all with whom

public sentiment has discounted gov
ernmental showing about equal to the
average as stated, of the private re-
ports thus far received. namely An
acreage reduction of 14.A per cent,
and a condition of T4.6. and that these
figures therefore, so far as the imme-
date course of the market is concern

a showing could not, of course, be re-

Account must also be taken or the
fact that the record shows that what

This is especially true of crops start
