New Orleans Cotton Market

| New Orleans, April 29-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of to points on good cables and reports from New York that 1S0000 May notices had been issued and were being stopped. After the call shorts began covering freely on this news, and put May 20 points over yesterdays closing in the first half hour of trading. July stood 15 points up and the new crop months stood to 10 points up.
 The weather map also made the shorts nervous, for although it indicated dry and clear weather all over the cotton country, temperatures were too low, and the fore cast promised cloudy and colder weather for the western belt Rain is beginning to be badly needed in some sections and com plaints are still coming in to the effect that seed is rotting in the ground as the result of the lack of warm weather.
 Toward the middle of the morning the market became dull and a few selling or ders served to bring about reaction, the old crop months losing to Il points from the previous high levels and the new crop to points. This fall in prices served to bring fresh buying. some of 1t from outside traders, and at noon the mar ket was steady against new high levels for the morning session on July and October. the former month standing 19 points over
 
 Il points over. A considerable part of this buying was based on bulish reports from travelling crop reporters now in Mis- sissippi. They sent in reports, stating that 90 per cent of the crop was up be- fore the freeze and that all of 1t mad been killed. Hs hr sf
 Early in the afternoon session July was fairly active and sold 20 points over yes terday's last quotation. October vas the only month n show n tivity, and at the highest it sold at 12 75c or Il points over yesterday The week end figures were neither bullish nor bear ish, and they were ignored in the trad ing. At o'clock the market was quiet and steady within point or two of the top. s The close was steady at an advance of 15 points on the old crop months and { points on the new.

 Sugar and Rice Revenue
 New York, April 29-The week in the sugar market has been very disappoint- ing, inasmuch as the trade had awaited a revival of buying on the part of dis tributers under the stimulus of an ad- vance in refined, This programme was knocked in the head by the unexpected crop scare from the west with its stories of widespread damage to fruit. How ever reliable information from Michl- gan indicates that the fruit pack will not be materially affected so that good business can yet result. Trade is slow and the price for standard granulatei reported at 5.10c net. Since the grinding season in Cuba is rapidly nearing an end it is believed that tho raw sugar market will develop steadier tone after the turn of tho month. The Cuban crop is likely to reach 100000 tons, but in view of Europe's purchases we will re- orire the surplus unless the consumption falls off materially.
 There has been no material change in the rice situation and dealers still com plain oe the poor demand from distribu- ters. The buying is hand-to-mouth. be- cause of the general trade dullness in the grocery line but prices hold steady for both Japans and Honduras' Advices here from the south have been of supplies of cleaned rice light and refusal of much concession on list prices. There have been some reports of damage to the new crop in the south: but these have not had any appreciable influence on the market
