COTTON MARKET IS
 GENERALLY WEAK Lack of Bull Pressure Lets OPENING RATHER STEADY General impression Appeared to Be However That the Crop Was not Sufficiently Forward to Suffer
 Damage From Frost.
OPENING RATHER STEADY

New York April 17.-The cotton mar ket was generally weak and lower under liquidation and bear pressure encouraged by the absence of bull support prospects for an improvement in the weather and continued talk of lower spot offerings in the south. The opening was steady at an advance of 2a3 points in spite of lower cables than expected, the advance being due to covering as a result of cold wealth CT in the belt over Sunday which some private advices claimed had done dam age to the crop.
 The general impression appeared to be, however that the crop was not sufficient ly forward to suffer damage from frost, and after the list worked up to a net advance of about to points, active sell ing of the near months by local bears and reports that large deliveries would be made on May contracts started prices downward There was little demand for covering on scaledown and some of the commission houses appeared to have buy ing orders for the summer months un- der TAO, but while this ateaded the mar ket at intervals, it was not sufficient to cause any rally and the close was prac- ticaIly the low point of the day. steady in tone at a net decline of to 10 points. Sales estimated at 250,Oo0 bales.

trated character of much of the selling of Union Pacific and the fears aroused as to what it might imply. This stock and Northern Securities on the curb reacted with some violence after the opening, and carried depression into other stocks which have moved in sympathy with them. The exceptional strength shown by St Paul did not serve altogether to offset this in- fiuence. Neither did the sustained advance in Atlantic Coast Line, which has only moderate effect even in it's own group. The renewed strength in the United States Steel stocks was of more influence and seemed to be due to the satisfaction with the proceedings of the annual meeting of the corporation. The preferred rose easily to a new record level. There was some especial demand for money in the London market today, due to large financial transactions, which are expected to be of temporary effect. More importance was attached to the removal of the demand from Paris upon London for gold which resulted in a sharp decline in the sterling rate at Paris.

 Cables from Liverpool and Manchester today were less favorable than looked for, futures in the English speculative market closing at an advance of only l point. and spot sales there were only 1000 bales at unchanged quotations, while the feeling prevailed in the former market that deal CTS had filled their wants for sometime to come concessions being imminent to in- duee fresh business There was such an important change in the weather condi- tions in the belt, however. to counteract these influences. every district in the central and eastern portion of the cotton region reporting the temperature down to freezing, in some sections below freezing, and heavy and killing frosts were of ficlally announced from many stations in the east gulf and south Atlantic states. It was claimed that great deal of cotton was in this portion of the belt especially in Georgia and Alabama, and it Is foregone conclusion that wherever the crop was above ground the young plant will be killed by such low temperature. 1t was more than surprising to see the mar ket sell off to S20 for July after having advanced to 7.34. compared with Satur- days closing of 7.3l. Shorts were little uneasy at the opening, but they awaited results, finding the interior unwilling to support the market on account of the heavy movement of the old crop. concert- ed action on their part lowered the mar ket about 14 points.

UNEAS|NESS IN
 STOCK TRADING
Impression Partly DiSsipated by
 Mornings Buoyant Rise
WEATHER HAS INFLUENCE
The Market Continues to Give It's Principal Attention to the Cues ton of the Northern Se-
 curities Distribution.

New York, April 17.-There was consid- erable uneasiness manifest in the stock market today which was partially due to the carrying over of a bad impression from Saturday on account of the rather urgent pressure to take profits on the weeks rise. This impression was partly disspated by the buoyant opening this morning. but the high prices made then invited renewed selling and served to dis courage the confidence of operators for higher prices. The market for the rest of the day was spotty and irregular.
 The selling on the opening rise was of such volume and character as was not to be ignored. It was generally supposed to be due in part to the necessity of pro- tective measures in connection with the wheat speculation. Various publications pointing the hazardous position of those committed to the wheat oeaI made opinion sensitive on this point.
 Tn the wheat market itself the weather news helped to sustain prices and to that extent relieved apprehension over the immediate situation of the yield. But on the other hand the possibility of dam age to the crop by the unreasonable
 
 stocks, and had it's part In cooling the demand The wintry weather carried it's threat of damage to other crops as well, and was one of the appreciable factors In todays stock market. Another was the assembling of the Senate committee to Investigate the problem of railroad rate legislation. This topic has fallen into the background during the recent enthus- iasm in the stock speculaitno. The report of the committees intention served to bring 1t into consideration again, with its ultimate possibilities when Congress assemblies.
 Railroad officials continue to talk m very confident terms regarding traffic, but their usual weekly interviews were of a more restraining tone than for some time past, There is sufficient business reported to keep equipment engaged, but the over abundanc which caused car shortages early in the season has passed away.
 While these minor considerations played their part the market continued to give the principal attention to the question of the Northern Securities distribution, and the re-adjustments growing out of 1t. While the mandate of the supreme court was issued as was expected, there was still the absolute lack of official an- nouncement or confirmation for any of the many stories of deals supposed to be waiting on this event. The situation proved strain to speculative confidence. especially in view of the highly concen-

The killing frost in many sections seemed to have no effect on the market. At one time there was rise of or 1 points but the advance was short-lived and before noon new low prices on the movement had been reached. July ran down 7.32 and October to [ .45. There seemed to be no support; sales did not help the market. So few wanted to buy that the prices gave away readily. For so long there was no market move ment that now a move is on traders are inclined to go with It. A large num- Der are selling short. Even those who bought when it was here before are sell ing now because planters don't seem to be holding to their bargain. If the planter Is not cutting down his crop we can ex- pect 6-cent cotton next year.
 It won't pay the cost of production. We simply cannot believe the planter will de- liberately plant on a scale to make G. cent cotton. and until there are evidences that reports are misleading we cannot look for much support.

The weather map showed considerable frost throughout the south this morning, extending as far down as Louisiana. but even this seemed to make but little impression on the local cotton trade. There was an advance but there was a selling wave set in and prices eased off quite sharply July sold at 7.43 and later on sold at 7.31.
