OLD CROP MONTHS
 AGAIN ADVANCE
Only Near Months Show Any Strength of Con-
 sequence

New York, May 1s-old crop positions again made new high records during the days trading in the cotton market, but only the near months showed any strength of consequence. August and later deliv- cries being unsettled and easier under realizing and more favorable weather re- ports. The close was steady at a net advance of ' points to decline of II points.
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of to points, Under scattered realizing and local selling, which was inspired by the appearance of rains in the eastern belt and expectations of more or less general showers and thunderstorms tonight or tomorrow, which were thought likely to relieve the drouthy conditions recently reported.
 Trade interests were buying both old and new crop positions around the in- itial figures. However, early indications pointed to bullish weekend figures. and when the early sellers found their offer ings were being absorbed without mak- ing much further impression on prices, covering movement started which car ried May and July into new high ground and the new crop back to about the clos ing figures of last night. There was a little more cotton for sale after May reached Is cents and July 16 ,13c, owing to reports of a less active spot demand and when into-slght figures were pub lished showing rather a larger movement than expected the market turned easier in the late trading. May and July closed shade over the closing figures of last night, but August was weak under liqui- dation and selling by people who ex- pected that the bull campaign will be wound up before the end of July and at one time showed net loss of 15 points. while the new crop sold g to F points net lower and closed within a point or so of the bottom.
 The into-sight figures ran about 5000 bales over estimates, owing to an out side clearance and the decrease in the visible supply of American cotton for the week was correspondingy smaller but reduced the total to about 1000 bales under the corresponding date last year. A private acreage report issued this morning estimated an increase of abou 61a per cent.
 Receipts today 16,2s9 bales, against " last week and 13,9S4 last year. For tf week 55,00O bales, against 60,474 last wef and 7476S last year Today's receipts New Orleans 5213 bales against 339S r year and at Houston 6S2, against 1236 year.

REPORT ALL CROPS . IN VERY FINE SHAPE
Both Winter and Spring Wheat Show FavOra-
 ble Condition

Chicago, May 19.-Promise of cooler weather and showers turned wheat prices into a downward course. A prediction that shipments from Russia would be heavy formed another important influence on the bear side of the market. As a result closing figures were ssc lower all around than "A hours before. The end of the day left every other leading staple at a decline-corn B@ssc; oats a shade to Ad Be, and provisions on slide from last nights level to 20c beneath.
 Although sentiment in the wheat pit was in favor of the bears, sell ing pressure diminished whenever prices made much of descent. Simultaneously demand would increase in a moderate way. On the other hand both the winter and spring crops were reported to be in posite direction was the fear that dry weather might easily create a crop scare and help the bull leaders in establishing higher prices. Millers' advices indicated that the outlook was especially serious in the states west and southwest. However,
 
 ther offset in dispatches from Russia tell irg of serious moisture and of huge ship ments in prospect. During the session July fiuctuated between SS1sc and SS7sc, closing steady asc Town at SS1ac.
 Rural speculators declined to accept the urban idea that the prevailing heat was unfavorable for corn recently put In the ground. Selling from the country in- creased and resulted in weighing down-the market July ranged from 521sa5SAc to 52ese, and closed 1s9Ac net lower, but steady at 4214c. Cash grades were slow. No yellow finished at 54d5411c.
 Cash houses unloaded oats on all talk CTS regardless of drought. Eastern de- mand showed considerable falling off Reports of rain fin Nebraska and north Ohio explained the change in feeling to the bear side. High and low points were S412c and 34c for July, with final sales Ac down at the last named figures
 Provisions weakened with hogs and be. cause of slack demand. When the gong sounded pork had fallen 10620c, but lard and ribs were within PFC of last night.

TRADING IN STOCKS
 FALLS OFF LARGELY
fter Three Days of Heavy z Selling the Market
 Declines

New York, May 1s.-Trading in stocks feH off largely today after three days of teavy dealings. Stocks moved up and down within a narrow range and closing prices showed small losses for the market leaders.
 Traders on the long side made every ef- fort,to sustain prices at the high point reached by the weeks advance and gave support to the market when it became heavy. Stocks sagged back, however whenever buying ceased The weakness was attributable largely to the lessened demand from the short interest which had covered extensively earlier in the week, and to the fact that higher prices had the effect of diminishing outside des mand. The most extensive movements of the day among the active stocks were In Reading and Amalgamated Copper, both of which rose point only to fall back again Amalgamated Copper attracted large following by reason of the continued re- ports of a substantial improvement in the copper metal trades and the belief that there still existed a large short interest in the stock which was attempting to cover The fertilizer stocks were excep- tionally heavy, Virginia Carolina Chemi- cal, American Agricultural Chemical and American Cotton Oil all falling back, ap- ,parently on account of the belief that the terms of settlement of the potash dispute with German interests were not as favor able as had been hoped for.
 An unsettling factor was the beginning of a government suit under the sherman law against various lumber companies News of the governments action was re- ceived shortly before the close of the market, and was used effectively as a bear weapon in the final dealings
 It became known today that the first of the financing projects of Missouri Pacific in connection with the rehabilitation of the property would be announced shortly and would probably take the form of a three-year note issue of S20, GOO or s25.- c00,000. The notes are expected to provide cash for improvements and bettfrments for the debt of between s3,000,000 and A,- oG0,000. The street displayed no enthusiasm over the project and Missouri Pacific shared in the general heaviness of tho market.
 Indications of better trade conditions continued to be received although they are not sufficient to satisfy expectations of widespread betterment. Bank ex- changes of the week over the country point to increased activity. making a more favorable comparison with last year more than has been the case for long time.
 Over-year money showed a further hardening tendency today. The recent large bond market and that of the last few days in stock created demand which is the primary reason advanced for the stiffer rates. To these factors may be added the forthcoming Panama bonds and financing of a corporation nature.
 Bonds were regular early in the day. but later became irregular.
 Total sales, par value, s3.0S3,000.
 United States coupons and As irregular: declined 4; As registered declined A on call.

New York. May 19.-ts,

New York, May 19.-ts, 're- dictions of local showers ovei eHr ton belt brought about a slfght cline abroad and lower market heil The temper of the traders has become optimistic during the past fortnight on the idea that the dry weather might become a drought over large section of the cotton belt. It is so well known that a large crop next season Is abso- lutely required to prevent, not only famine in cotton, but fariine in cot ton goods, so that the closest atten- ton will be paid to the slightest indi- cation of unfavorable weather During the day the liquidation of the July in terests continued at an advance over yesterday and at the high point or ths season, it seems probable that the in- terest was largely reduced. but not yet eliminated.
 The most favorable item Is the rather better demand for cotton goods in the western markets.
