 A particular application of the new con- ditions to the Union Pacific and its large holdings of stocks in other roads was discernible in the activity and strength of that stock.

 Railroad net earnings for March were reported in great. number and the favor able comparison with March of last year was of helpful effect on the speculation The relatively low level of last years earnings with which the comparisons are made was lost sight of.

Estimates by official authorities of several states of the progress of the crops during April was not convincing and the government crop report on Friday is looked to with special interest.

COTTON MARKET
 SHOWS DECLINE Prices Open Lower and Ad- vance on Reports of Rain OFFERINGS BECOME HEAVY 
 Southern Spot Markets Are Reported Unchanged To a Fraction Lower While Exports Are Heavier
 for the Day.
OFFERINGS BECOME HEAVY

New York, May 4-The cotton market was nervous today with fluctuations easy but with the general tendency downward and the close steady at a decline of to points.
 The market opened steady at decline of to points and sold about to 8 points net lower during the early session under realizing by old longs and local bear pressure, which was encouraged by slightly easier cables than expected and the appearance of better weather quite generally in the south. Private wires re- porting hailstorms and rains in parts of Arkansas and Mississippi and the week ly weather report which read bullishly although it merely summarized reports already received from day to day dur ing the past week, attracted some sup port during the middle session and at one time May contracts sold up to 10. 60c, or points net higher on covering, while the later months ruled about net unchanged to points lower Later, however, of ferings became heavier once more with some of the earlier buyers attempting to realize their few points profit and last prices were practically the lowest of the day on the more active positions.
 Southern spot markets as officially re- ported early were unchanged to 1-16c lower. Exports were heavier but in creased clearances have been expected and seemed to attract comparatively lit- tie attention.
 The final acreage Is supposed to de- pend very largely upon climatic condi- tions during the current month and the market is consequently showing increased insenstiveness to weather reports. The western belt forecast called for partly cloudy weather with showers in Arkansas while the eastern belt predicts generally fair and warmer weather.
 Receipts at the ports today 27.165 bales, against 86731 last week and 13,352 last year For the week 125,0O0 bales, against 139, AS last week and 59 139 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans 9251 against 3390 last year and at Houston 1887, against 346O.

STRONG TONE IN
 STOCK MARKET Reading Still Leads In General
 Market Activity SHERMAN LAW DISCUSSED Railroad Lawyers Believe That sher- man Law Will Be Annulled. Prices React Before Close
 But Decline Is Small.
SHERMAN LAW DISCUSSED

New York, May 4-An animated and varied speculation was carried on in the stock market today and the uplift of prices was comprehensive and marked. The strength was uneven and the move- ment in a few stocks overshadoWed the whole market.
 Reading still held the most conspicuous place in the transactions and the supreme court decision on the commodities clause of the Hepburn act was the continued subject of most earnest discussion. Read ,g had been picked as the medium of Expression of feeling on this subject for months past, and its violent oscillation today was the index of speculative opin- ion and was followed in close sympathy but in widely varying degree by the whole list. No small part of the speculative enthusiasm which found expression in the operations in stocks was based upon most liberal construction of the supreme court s decision in it's bearing on the whole sub ject of corporation control The salient comment was heard amongst brokers that the annument of the Sherman antitrust law would follow as a natural conse- uuence from the principles laid down on the commodities clause decision.
 Renewed safeguard for property and vested rights were inferred from the tenor of the opinion of the court and the al- laying of a threat of danger from the spread of legal restraint was assumed from the necessary shaping of public pol lev to conform to the law. Beyond these very general and loosely assumed con sequences the influence of the decision was perceptible in many directions in a fore perceptible application.
 It was maintained that the corporation device of the holding company had re- ceived new authority and justification in view of the country's highest judicial au- g thority.
 It was pointed out that acts by sub- sidiary corporations for the beneht or the parent corporation might be permissible under this construction as implied by the exemption granted to the coal car riers for the acts of the control in the anthracite companies. This influence was applied to the case of the United states Steel corporation in itself a holding com pany and the most important In exist ence.
 The corporations responsibilities In connection with it's iron ore lands and controlled railroads was held to be ma- terially modified.
 The comment about the financial dis trict construed the new permlss1ons to- ward holding companies as revlvlng the possibilities of great railroad mergers by a revision of the methods by which the Northern Securities company was formed to effect the combination of the Northern

 Futures opened steady at a. decline of 5 to 8 points in sympathy with the easier tone in the Liverpool contract market, and also on more favorable reports from the cotton belt The weather map showed favorable conditions all over the cotton region, and the forecast promised another good map tomorrow morning. This caused a considerable selling movement among scalping shorts and also brought out some long liquidation under which prices remained depressed the greater part of the day standing at the lowest 8 to points below yesterdays last quo- tations On the closing the tone was steady and prices were at a net decline of to points.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter.

New York, May (Special)-In the morning the market showed more steadi- ness than yesterday, although on a lower basis on disappointing advices from Eu rope. Our own cables state that there is a better demand for clothes, while there were many reports of injury to the young plant in the Mississippi valley from the cold weather of Sunday. Later fur ther liquidation on the part of the old buyers of July carried the market down to the lowest prices of the day, with an easy undertone, caused by reports from the south of more disposition to sell spots.
 No further rain is in sight in Texas, where 1t is again badly needed, but the market acts heavy under the impression that the prospects ire in favor a few weeks of good weather, which may sub ject the market to a test of confidence in present prices for the immediate fu- ture.
