VIOLENT CHANGES
IN COTTON MARKET
A Heavy Decline Follows an
Early Upward Turn
PRICES RECOVER FAST
'RICEs RECOVER FAST
Favorable Weather Advices From the
south Cause Early Decline But =
Bull support Brings Very
Prompt Recovery

New York, May 19.-There were sensa-
tionally sharp and violent movements in
cotton today an initial advance being
almost complete recovery, with the close
net unchanged to points higher.
The market opened steady at an adj
vance of to points and after some lit
tie irregularity due to the presence of
heavy overnight selling orders sold up to
a net advance of to II points, with July
contracts touching 15.15c. or 20 points
above the low figures of yesterday. on
covering, bull support, foreign buying,
very firm cables and bulish advices as
to foreign trade. But as soon as Liver
pool closed the local market became very
weak and unsettled under a renewal of
general liquidation and bear pressure.
Stop loss orders were uncovered on a
scale down, and before the break was
checked July contracts sold at 1472c, or
43 points. below the high level of the
morning, 26 points under the closing fig
ures of last night, and 10Y points below
the high figures of last Friday. Favor
able weather advices from the south may
have inspired part of the selling. but it
was noted that new crop months were
relatively steady on the decline, and in
the last hour the whole market turned
very firm on something resembling a
scarcity of shorts, spot house buying and
a renewal of bull support. July closed
at 14.9Sc, or 26 points UP from the lowest,
and even with the final figures of last
night, while active new crop months ruled
about 3 to points net higher.
During the progress of the big break
rumors were circulating that the big bulls
were unloading, but it was not generally
believed that the bull campaign had
been actually abandoned and the advance
in the late trading was encouraged by pri-
vate reports of better spot demand.
Southern spot markets officially report
ed early were unchanged to Ac lower
Liverpool will also be closed tomorrow.
Tomorrow is a notice day and May ten
ders are expected.
Receipts at ports today, 10,s5o bales
against 1927 last week and 1854 last year.
For the week, $4,000 bales, against 56'lS6

LIGHT TRADING IN
THE STOCK MARKET
Dealings Reach Lower Limit
Than on Wednesday ~
OFFERINGS ARE LIGHT
In Spite of Dull Business Prices snow
Tendency to Advance But Buyers
Refrain From Entering
the Market

New York, May 19.-The professional
element in the stock market. def1ned To-
day as ''sold-out day. meaning tna'
tically nothing was offering. The
buying WIS meager to the point of star
walton, bat bids had to be advanced,
nevertheless, to secure stocks. Dealings
fell to lower level even than yesterday,
but the facility with which prices rose
changed the aspect of sluggishness and
stagnation. What was rather as remark
able was that the trading element took
small advantage of this price movement
to deal in fluctuations. The neglect was
partly due to the fact that the stock ex-
change will not open until noon tomor-
row, and the London exchange not at all,
In observance of the funeral of the late
King OF England.
The days small dealings were longest
ed in few stocks and some special
causes were assigned for the strength
shown in these which had a large SYM
pathetic effect on the dull and narrow
market. Reading was most conspicuous
and the operations in that stock were
ascribed TO speculative party lately ac-
tive in the Wabashes and Rock Island.
Claims were circulated of large concealed
assets In the Reading treasury in the
form of equities in securities held which
are said to be undervalued In the COM
pary's balance sheet. No new fac cts
were adduced to account for the move
ment. The Canadian Pacific rise was ac-
con plished by rumors of intended in
- 1e..<
Some of the general developments were
In favor of the advance. More confidence
was felt in the success of negotiations
for the sale of bonds abroad. Positive an
nouncement of the placing of $10,000,000
of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.
Louis debentures in France conduced to
this feeling. An easier tone in the early
foreign exchange market was corrobo-
rative of the opinion. At the same time
tie rate of call loans ran off to below 8
per cent, although the almost total lack
of demand for stock left this showing
without much significance.
The fact that gold continues to go Out
from London to various destinations
makes it likely that the Bank of England
will maintain it's control of the money
market rather strictly. Reports from
leading authorities in the iron and steel
trade showed an improved tone, which
was due more to belief that turn In
conditions for the better was imminent
than to an actual change. New orders
for railroad equipment were among the
news items from the trade. The better
sentiment in the copper trade was SYM
pathetic. The days crop advices also
were hopeful.

having caused remarkable improvement.
Furthermore additional showers were
predicted for night. In this state reiter-
atoms continued regarding an unfavor-

sides foreign markets were reported to
be very weak, and there was information
that the drouth in Australia had been
broken. Moreover it was announced that
the Texas harvest would be on next week
and that in consequence St. Louis mills
reported plenty of wheat for grinding
June to 10, inclusive. The dollar level
was struck right at tho opening. Not a
little nervous tension was manifested I'M

became unmistakable. At this juncture
shorts covered freely and commission
houses were excellent buyers. September
ranged from 81 to s1.OOs4 and closed at
81 .0O1h.
Corn sold off on the combined pressure
of fine weather and expected large re-

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. May 19-(special.)-So small
q stock of cotton is in Liverpool and
pointed to that market that better de-
mand from Lancashire today brought
about a sharp advance there when de-
cline was due. This caused an advance
here during the opening hour under pur-
chases for Europe, but it met heavy sell
ing from the buyers of last week at high
prices, and on this liquidation the July
position broke to 14.72c. At this point
the selling of these holdings ceased and
the market advanced to the close. which
was at the same prices as yesterday for
July but to 5 points higher for the
other deliveries. 1t is thought that the
market shows better Ilndertone, due to
this revival in the demand In Liverpool
as it is difficult to see how the Euro
mean spinners can remain out of the
market much longer. After the close
July was reported to be to points
higher.
