ings OF 100000 and net earnings Of over

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK,

NEW YORK. May 23.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady and was 4 to 8 points
lower In response to lower Liverpool
cables and a favorable weather map.
Trading was very quiet and fluctuations
were somewhat irregular after the call,
but prices gradually eased of to q net
decline Of some or points, owing to the
weather predictions scattering
liquidation by recent buyers and a little
local pressure. The London harbor strike
and a slackening spot business at LIVER
pool probably contributed to the good
weather as q depressing factor, while
aggressive selling was still restricted by
the expectation of low condition report.
Trading continued quiet later in the fore
noon. but prices rallied only a point or
two from the early low level, and the
market turned easier again just before
midday under selling by spot house bro
kers, with prices at noon showing a net
loss OF some to 10 points. New Orleans
reported a bearish sentiment there owing
to improved crop accounts.
Spot quiet: middling uplands. 11.60.

AMERICAN TOBACCO RISES
LATER Is FORCED TO DECLINE

NEW YORK, May 23-Dealings were
nominal and price changes. aside from
two point rise in American Tobacco, were
only fractional at the opening on the
stock exchange today. Some heaviness
was shown by steel, smelling and some
of the trunk line roads.
Efforts to hold prices by manipulation
in some of the less important stocks were
unavailing, the market going lower in the
first hour. Practically all the leaders
were under pressure.
Undertone Is Irregular.
During the early part of today's ses-
sion and the undertone was irregu-
lar. This suggested an increased eau
ton on the par of traders due in part
to economic disturbances abroad
Later the market hardened, under the
leadership of stocks which seldom enter
into the calculations of investors. Amer
lean Tobacco and American Can were
strong, the latter showing some Of its re-
cent activity in connection with fruit
crop prospects.
BY noon improvement was general, with
increased activity which continued to CEN

were easy.
Profit-taking sales in American Can

United States Steel rose to 7O1s, and
Union Pacific to 111h. Dealings were
active in many Of the less known issues,
including General Electric and Seaboard
