COTTON MARKET
 TAXES REACTION Prices Decline Slightly on Favorable Weather
 Advices

New York. May 2.-While more or less irregular weak crop positions making new high records during the morning, to- ary tendency in the main owing to rather more favorable weather advices than ex- pected and the close was easy at a net decline of from to IA points.
 The market opened barely steady at an advance of points to a decline of 6 points, the old crop refecting bull sup port while later deliveries were relative ly easy under selling by buyers of yes- terday, who were disappointed that the early weather map showed no sign of the frosts predicted for the southwest.
 Prices eased off slightly during the early trading, but following the western belt forecast calling for frost tonight in Okla homa and Arkansas and for unsettled weather with showers in Texas, the list firmed up with leading bulls supporting the old crop months. May and July both made new high records on the bulge. May selling at 15. 42c and July at 15 43c, or 5 to Il points net higher, but the new crop got only or points above the closing figures of last night. The advance was checked by realizing and a renewal of local bear pressure. Leading bull brokers who had given the market support on the initial setback appeared to be selling above 15. 40c for July and 13. 9Oc for De- tober, and after the publication of the weekly weather report, which read less bullishly than expected, the market be- came easier, closing at practically the lowest. The eastern belt forecast was for continued unreasonable low temperatures, but called for generally fair weather to- night and tomorrow.
 Southern spot advices continued gener- ally bullish and further advances were reported in some of the leading markets.
 Receipts today, 12,396 bales, against 755O last week and 1893 last year. For the week, 45.O00 against 45001 last week and 54,672 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, S934 against 1906 last year. Spot cotton closed quiet; middling uplands, 5.45c; middling gulf, 5.7Oc sales, 200.

Poultry made fine showing on Morris avenue yesterday, being offered at b cents per pound on foot. There is a steady demand for both the spring matching and the older lots, broilers selling at 40 cents each.
 Farmers seem to be quite busy with strawberries this week. Arrivals are coming in from every direction, the Wylam growth being especially notice- able.
 The local trade was brisk in some of the markets yesterday, while in others conditions were only normal. Grain mer- chants reported business very active in their line, and as result prices are steadily increasing.

GRAIN MARKET
 TAXES ADVANCE The Bulge in May Wheat Frightens Shorts in the
 Other Options

Chicago, May 2.-An artificial bulge of 39s@3s4c for May wheat today frightened shorts in all the other options, although business in the current delivery did not reach a size of any great importance. New crop closed at net advance of %c to 1Ac. The end of the session left B9Ac to %c higher than last night, oats up 1so to 1kdssc. and hog products with gain of 5d71ac to 321Ac.
 Leading longs took the initiative in the buying of May wheat, raising promptly all bids that the shorts made in attempts to cover. This process continued through out the day and caused increasing ner- vousness on the part of the traders in deferred options. The result was a steady absorption which kept the floating supply in the pit wiped out. Incidentally, dry weather in the northwest finally be- came quite a factor on the bull side Of the market, fears concerning the lack of moisture being shared by many conser- vative dealers. Furthermore the worlds S available supply decreased heavily and foreign markets were generally firm. Cash demand was COHSplcuOuSly auseht puI that circumstance seemed to cut no figure in lessening the urgency for any future, not excepting May. July ranged from SShc to S91sc and closed firm 1hc up at S9hc.
 Big chartering of lake steamers occa- stoned a bullish feeling in corn. Besides there was a good miscellaneous demand for spot. July fluctuated between 52s4c and 535c,, closing firm at 5314c, a net gain of Ac. Cash grades were steady for best kinds, but low sorts were weak. No. 2 yellow finished at 541ad54%c.
 Fine weather prevented oats from im- proving in price so much or so rapidly as other grain. However. sympathy with the upward movement in neighboring pits had decided effect. July touched as high and low points 32Bc and 321sc. with last sales 32l4132asc a rise of 1s@Ac above the figures of 24 hours before.
 In view of the moderate supply of bogs, provisions naturally took the upgrade. At the final gong pork had risen 2Oc to 321ac, lard 71g@10c to 121ac, and ribs 5@71ac to 22hc.

STOCK MARKET
 PRICES RECEDE
The Reaction Comes After
 Week of Uninterrupted Advances

New York, May 2.-Following week Of almost uninterrupted advance, prices Tn the stock market today receded quite generally through the list of speculative stocks, although in almost all issues large part of recent gains were retained, There was no severe pressure In spite or the losses which were sustained, but the support offered was of such an indif- ferent nature as to indicate the market had filled with stocks to its absortive ca- pacity in it's efforts to take profits ac- cruing from the rise of the past week. Marked exceptions to the backward ten dency of todays market were coalers, particularly Delaware and Hudson and Lehigh Valley, both of which advanced sharply as result of reports that these and allied concerns are considering reor- ganization of their coal properties after the manner of the Lackawanna. American Cotton Oil, which has been weak for some time in anticipation of possible dividend reduction, moved upward quick ly today, when the directors declared the usual payment on the shares.
 Bearish sentiment was forced by the of fcial statement that the orders of the United States Steel corporation during April averaged about 10000 tons day less than in the previous month and were the lowest of the year.
 A few financial plans of no mean pro- portions are reported to be in the making, but their exact form has not yet been de- termined. These issues probably will be marketed to considerable extent in London and Paris. Sales of the two bond issues, aggregating about s17,0OO, GOO, were reported today. The output of bonds and notes in the month just closed was more than $150,0O0O00, whereas in March the total was placed at. only slightly above s4o,00o,000 Practically all of the local trust companies have reduced their inter- est rates because of money supplies Some of the institutions have allowed as much as per cent and this rate in many cases has been cut to 2, while others have re- duced the amount to 1 per cent.
 The bond market continues active an prices were firm. Total sales, par value, s3,731,0
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 2.-(Special.) )-As the cold wave failed to bring frost to the cotton belt, the Liverpool market showed weakness. and our market declining tendency from the start This tendency was arrested for a short time by the buying of May by brokers sup posed to represent the leading bulls, and the entire decline was recovered on the distant positions, with May and July advancing above yesterday s prices. From this point a gradual re- cession followed to the close, as when the demand ceased, selling orders in the new crop carried the market down to the low point at the close. It was felt by the trade that the government weekly weather report was better than looked for, which brought a continued line of selling from the south, which is very bearish on the new crop, looking forward to favorable weather after the recent rain.

IS MUCH GUESSING
 OVER INJUNCTION

Chattanooga, May 2.-(Speclal )-Total and somewhat painful uncertainty exists among the politicians and citizens of Chattanooga regarding the ultimate out come of last Saturdays hearing before of T. N. VanDyke, ct al., for an injunc- tion to prevent Mayor Thompson and the newly elected board of commissioners from taking over the reins of city gov ernment under the new charter. Chan cellor Mcconnell is in Athens. Tenn, and will not return before the last of this week. Both sides appear to be leary of expressing publicly any confidence in the probable victory of their respective claims.

OLLIE JAMES HAS
 MAROON ESCAPE:

Louisville, Ky, May 2.-Representative Ollie James of the First district of Ken lucky and other passengers who arrived here today on Chesapeake and Ohio train from the east. had a narrow escape from death last night when their train jumped the track between Ashland and Lexington, Ky, and then bumped across the steel ties of a trestle over swollen mountain stream and came to a stop on the opposite side. The engine's tender and all of the coaches with the ex- ception of the last Pullman, left the rails but the momentum was sufficient to carry the train safely over the gorge.
