 ported in Belt.

New York. May 24.--The cotton market was active and excited all day. with closing prices within couple or points or the pest level of the session and for the bull move ment
 The opening was firm at an advance of 167 points with shorts rendered very un- easy by the firmer cables, reports of further leader had cabled' very bulitsh crop esti- mate abroad yesterday and had wired the same report over the South. This was taken as an explanation of the heavy puy- ing orders reaching here from all sources, and while there was heavy realizing at the opening figures with some of the local pro- fessionals selling short for a reaction, prices ce ntinued to advance.
 Around midday the market became par ticularly active and excited. In New or leans July sold up above seven points In as many minutes. reaching the same figure as New York. private wires reporting flood in the Red River valley which, 1t was said, had covered 30. 900 acres of cotton land. and prices here went up to about s.1sc for July and s. 24c for October, or net gains of l94 22 points.

WALL STREET REVIEW
SUBSTANTIAL STRENGTH SHOWN IN
 THE MARKET.
Long List of Stocks Was Lifted From One to Two Points During Proceedings,
 and Some of Them Went Still Higher.

New York May 24.--There was substan- tial strength in today's stock market, as stocks which we're lifted between and two points during the days trading and feT exeeponai insrsacss ossr more rhan of rsmark able features. One was the small volume or the demand upon which the very notable tions fell below those of the day before. There was not at any time vigorous show of resistance to the advance. in spite of its
 There was rather free Selling during the which prices opened. This was well ab- sorbed and the slow. upward movement course without any active opposition from any quarter. Prices have made so many ment has become extremely suspicious of these sudden advances over night. which have melted away during the day in more than one instance lately.
 The same suspicious attitude was main tained by the professional element today. At different stages of the advance the mar ket sank into practical stagnation, but the ground yielded on such occasions was in account for the movement and in fact some of the days developments might bs re- garded as additions to factors recently re- still had their crop damage reports. The Chicago strike situation seemed aggravated of War outlined afresh administration views for the regulation of corporations. But the consideratfon or these matters had appar- ently lost force.
 The Northwestern railroad problem. on the other hand. showed a perennial fresh ness. The revival of rumors that agree ment had been reached amongst the rail- road powers in that field to refrain from hostilities was the real effective force back of the days market. The special promin- ence of Union Pacific, St. Paul. Northern Pacific, Northwestern and Great Northern preferred were thus accounted for. The sell- ing late yesterday was partly based upon rumors which got into circulation with he trust company failure announced previously was likely to have ulterfor consequences. Fears on this score were largely dissipated today.
 The extreme ease of the money market on the of tomorrow's $60,0 .000 re- Quirement for the final installment of the Japanese loan subscription a fostering influence on the strength of stocks The reception of the Iron Ages weekly trade re- view was in marked contrast to the deprt s- sion caused week ago. although that nu- thority's view on the trade has not altered in any material respect. Prices weak er," says the review, and buyers gre holding off, convinced that a somewhat lower level in pig iron will be reached" The Unted States Steel stocks, however moved upward with the rest of the market and the rush amongst belated buyers made the closing tone very buoyant.
