kCES ADVANCE sY STOCK MARKET / Pressure Relaxes and Sup ply of Stocks Is Un-
 usually Small

New York, May 26.-The underlying strength of the stock market, which has been apparent through the week in spite of the unusually severe pressure that was exerted. led to an advance in prices today when tie pressure was relaxed. Bear traders who attempted to cover found that in, spite of the weeks heavy selling the supply of stocks was almost the smallest of the year.
 The volume of trading diminished con- siderably today. Total operations az gregated about s0o.oOO shares, which is considerably under recent averages The slackening business was attributed to the uncertainty attending next Mondays supreme court developments and the gen. eral state of indecision respecting the steel and iron trade. The supreme court decision in the American Tobacco case is looked for by Wall street on Monday and in view of the fact that the decision may throw further light upon the courts interpretation of the Sherman law, trad CTS are disposed to be conservative in their operations in the interval before the court convenes.
 Steel interests were able to form no definite ideas today of the effect of the reduction in prices. As factor in spec ulation the "open market seems to have missed fire to the chagrln of a large and aggressive bear party.
 Advices from abroad intimate that con- siderable financing of an important char acter will be taken upy in London and Paris following the approaching holidays hoe fs~H of the proposed banking has to do with American securities and 1t Is again re- ported that another output of Hartman Issues may soon be announced. The strength of Atchson may have been a natural outgrowth of the latest Paris dispatches which assert that arrange ments for listing the shares of that sys- tenn on the bourse have virtually been completed. It also was reported that ap- plication has been made to list Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph in the same market.
 The April reports of the Hartman roads showed again that the retrenchment policy which was adopted generally early in the spring has been pursued effective ly by these companies. Gross earnings of each road fell off about s7O00oo, but decreases In net were reduced by cuts in expenses which amounted to $300, ,000 for Union Pacific and $53s,00O for South ern Pacific. The Colorado and South ern converted loss in gross of $200O0O into a gain in net of s44.O00 by ry ducing expenses by s254,000.
 The movement of gold to Canada as- stunned larger proportions today, ship ments aggregating s1,6O0,00O The total for the year is now $7.6o0,000, whereas less than s1,000.00o had been forwarded up to this time last year.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales par value, s2,735,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

COTTON TAKESA
 SHARP DECLINE Market Closes Steady in Spite of Favorable
 Crop Advices

New York, May 26.-There was a further sharp decline in the price or near deliveries in the cotton market today, but in spite of favorable crop avices from several sections of the belt new crop positions failed to fully re- spond to the old crop break and the market closed steady at a net loss of from 8 to 2S points on the old crop, but only 3 or 8 points lower on the later months.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of points in May. but generally unchanged to points higher in re- sponse to better cables than looked for and ruled pretty steady during the early trading by covering by some of yesterdays sellers and expectations that leading bulls would give the mar zet support following the break of the previous day. The bulls, however, seemed to be taking little interest in the market for the moment The cir culation of a few May notices brought | out some scattered liquidation of that position, which probably exerted a sym pathetic influence in other old crop months, and while the small into-sight movement steadied the market slightly around 1 o'clock, it weakened again when it was seen that this factor had failed to create any fresh buying of consequence and reached the lowest point in the late trading. Stop loss orders were uncovered on the decline which carried July off to 1550c or 2S points under the closing of yesterday and a little more than $3 per bale un- der the high figures of the season
 May contracts were also weak. selling at 15.35c or 27 points net lower, and August sold off to net decline of IA points, but the new crop went only 3 or points under the final figures of yesterday, and seemed to be attract ing some trade support. Selling May has been partly in the way of evening up accounts for over the holiday next week and the governments condition report Friday, but part of 1t came through so- called bull houses ,and while 1t may have been for trailing accounts, served to create further rumors that the bull campaign was being gradually liquidated.
 Receipts today were 7179 bales against 16,71S last week and 9S06 last year For the week, 45,000 bales, against 65.427 last week, and 56,5s5 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, s1s4 bales, against 2621 last year, and at Houston. 1S3 bales. against 1O64 last year.

SPECULATORS IN 4H WHEAT BULLISH  Deficient Moisture and Siz- zling Temperature in
 the Southwest

Chicago, May 26.-Pearl from deficient moisture and from the sizzling tempera- ture threatening the wheat crop south west kept speculators today in a bullish mood. Closing prices were firm at last nights level to ssc above. The end of the day left corn 7sQ9sc up and oats at an advance of ls@Ac to ssaisc. In the pro- visions the outcome varied from 121ho gain to 21ae decline.
 Despite the fact that prices changed for wheat were of no width today was of an active sort with feeling quite ner- vous, Shorts and new investors took the lead. in the buying. Longs sold to realize profits. Aside from the drouth and hot wave southwest, the market received a bullish impulse through French official report of a crop shortage. Showers in the American spring wheat belt. however. acted as an offset in favor of the bears and subdued any tendency toward undue enthusiasm for radical move in an up- ward direction. Another drag was the lack of an improvement of the milling demand. Besides St. Louis sent word that two trainloads of wheat were being loaded there for Chicago Nevertheless a rally was unmistakably in progress when business was brought to a halt by the final bell. During the session July ranged from SsBc to S97sc, and finished at S915c, with a net gain of a shade.
 Covering by shorts in the corn crowd was on huge scale. The bullish cash formed the main incentive, sec onded by the strength of wheat. A great leal of influential selling developed on the advance. July fiuctuated between 53ssc and 54asc, closing firm, ssc up at 54B@ 4Ac. Cash grades were stronger. No. 3 fellow finished at a4Q551ac.
 The bulge In oats was attended by a larger trade than has been witnessed for some time. Speculators bought freely ow- ng to the hot, dry weather over most of the large producing states. High and ow points for July were 36ssc and 35Ac with last sales 36c, a rise of ssc compared with last night.
 Provisions advanced with grain be- ause of light run of hogs, but grad ially sagged under increasing liquidation When the pit was cleared pork retained 712c to 121ac of the upward movement, put products were back to within a small fraction either way from the figures of 24 lours before.
 Future quotations were as follows,
