STOCKS ARE DULL IN
 \ HEAVY MARKET
Capital Turns to Cotton and
 Wheat
SAGGING TENDENCY SHOWN
Important Effect on Trading Is Pro duced Also By Retirement of Some of the Big
 Traders.

New York. May 1.-The stock market today continued to show almost entire neglect on the part of the general world of capital and finance. Such speculative interest as exists finds a more attrac- tive field in the grain and cotton mar kets. An important effect on the trading is produced also by the retirement of some of the habltual traders whose plung- ing operations in the past have filled up the measure of stock market activity. Not only are the individual operators of this class of leaders lacking in the present market but there has been with drawn in their wake an important figure. Disgust with heavy losses in the recent severe declines or hopelessness of any early substantial revival of general in- terest, explain the lethargy Into which the market has fallen.
 Ane undertone of the market is heavy, as is almost invariably the case in pe- riods of extreme dullness. The sagging tendency today makes a sympathetic re- f1ection from the rising wheat market The selling of stocks was traceable, in part to sources which are active buyers of wheat. This selling seems to be pref erentiaI as all other transactions in the present market and the growth of the short account Is believed to keep pace with this selling.
 The influence was shown in some in- dividual Stocks against increases of capi- tal issues. The continued weakness of Chesapeake and Ohio Is referrable to the belief that a financial plan involv- ing new capital issues is under consider alton by the directors. The upshoot in Canadian Pacific was an example of the dangers of the short side of the market in the present narrow condition. The be- lief that further action by the govern ment against some corporations was im- fninent was another depressing factor.
 The strong advance in foreign ex- change again brought gold exports into discussion and 1t was believed that nego- tiations were under way with the Bank of France, looking to an allowance of interest on gold while on transit A special influence In the strength of the exchange Is the interruption to shipments of merchandise by the longshoremens strike, which diminishes the supply of exchange bills in the market. Banking estimates agree that a considerable move taken place during the week, sufficient with the proceeds of the sub-treasury operations to yield a cash gain to the banks of upwards of $3,000,000.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales. par value, $1 412,000 United States bonds un- changed on call.

GREAT ACTIVITY IN THE COTTON MARKET Close at an Advance of 10 to
 18 Points NEW HIGH RECORDS MADE Opening Steady About Unchanged. Shorts Covering and Heavy Buy
 ing by Bulls Causes
 Rapid Advance.
NEW HIGH RECORDS MADE

New York, May 1.-The cotton mar ket was very active during today's trad ing, the most active in fact since the beginning of the bull movement; sales for the day being estimated at 55O,O00 bales. Prices showed some irregularity early, but advanced sharply later, making new high records and closing very steady at a net advance of 10 to IS points.
 The opening was steady at an advance of points to a decline of points, the near months being relatively firm In keep ing with the cables, while later positions were influenced by better weather map. There was some little irreguIarity early. but the market soon rallied on Towering of shorts, bull support and the bullish character of private crop reports, which were accompanied by outside buying or ders. After selling up to a net advance of about to points, the market eased off to about the opening figures under realizing and selling for a reaction on the favorable weather forecasts, but quickly rallied and in the afternoon became very active on a general buying movement led by Wall street.
 Southern buying orders followed ru- mors that new bull pool had been formed in New Orleans, to advance the new crop months and the west was a good buyer in the local market. The high point was reached in the late ses- sion when July sold at 11.06 and January at Al. The close was within a point or two of the best.
 expectations of a bullish visible supply statement probably helped the advance, but the main thing appeared to be the idea that the new crop had suffered serious setback as result of recent un- favorable weather
