Montgomery Market

 Montgomery May 13.-(Special. )-Local produce dealers today had on their stands tho best lettuce of the season. During the past few days this vegetable has been particularly scarce and of an inferior quality. The lettuce offNed to consumers today was of an excellent grade and sold at 10 cents a bunch.
 Dealers were disappointed today in not receiving a supply of canteloupes and green corn, though it is announced that both will be on the market tomorrow.
 The local market also had small sup ply of spring broilers, which sold rapidly. The chickens were all small and brought from 30 to 55 cents each There was an abundance of vegetables on the market today, such as spring onions good toma- toes, parsley, egg plant, new Irish pota- toes, snap beans, beets, peppers, horse radish English peas and squash, all of which sold at fair prices.
 The cotton market was unchanged strict middling sold at 117sc and mlddling at 11hc.

CLOSING PRICES IN MARKET WEAK
Announcement That Ten Million Bushels Would Be
 Released Has Effect

Chicago. May 13.-Announcement that the opening of the Dardaneles tomorrow N ould release nearly 100000 bushels of wheat had a depressing effect today on the market here. Closing prices were weak. 1bQ1h to 11ae under Saturday night. In corn the finish was 5sd7sc down with oats off ssq1c. Provisions scored an advance of 71kc to s7c net. Courage on tho selling side developed rapidly among speculators in wheat. At the outset greatly improved crop advices, the out come of the recent rains. formed an in- cuence in the favor of the bears Then, too, there were offers of new grain from Texas to be forwarded to St. Louis by June 20. Besides, world shipments were larger than expected and supplies for importing countries were estimated at 100000 bushels in excess of year ago. Surprise over the largeness of the vis- ible supply decrease brought about a temporary upward jerk in prices opin- fen, however. was aggressively backed that the market had been overbought. The climax came when news arrived that cargoes of wheat amounting in the az gregate to 9,600,000 bushels. which had teen tied up at the Dardanelles, would probably start forward tomorrow through the straits, and soon be avaAable for
 nHllers in France and other European countries. Collapse in quotations fol- lowed and no lasting recovery ensued.
 The July option, which, during the ses-
 sion, fiuctuated from $1.121a to sl .135s6 1.l4, closed l1sq1Ac lower at S1 12ss
 Fine weather and reports of increased acreage made corn heavy Holdings were unloaded without stint, some going over
 board on stop loss orders. The opening of the Dardanelles, too, counted against values as well as in wheat, for more l than 100000 of corn had been held up by the Italian embargo. July ranged from | 76ssQ76%c to 7Sc. closing weak. 7sc net l lower at 767sc. Cash grades were easy. | No. yellow was quoted at S21saS2%c.
 Texas offers to sell new oats for early shipment north led to considerable weak ress in that cereal. A leading long here let go of big line Outside limits touched
 by the July option proved 10 be 54@53sc with the close 5Slsc, loss of Ac com pared with Saturday night.
 Active buying on the part of stock yard spectators had a blhcing effect on provisions. Some observers credited the big packers with buying chiefly respon- sible. In the end pork was dearer, 15c to 2Tssc; lard, 71ac to 10c and ribs. 121kc.
 Future quotations were as follows:

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, May 13.-cotton futures opened steady at decline of to 6 points. Cables were about as expected. but the weather map was the most favor able in long time, practically no rain being noted anywhere in the cotton belt. This caused selling on the first call and immediately after. First prices were the lowest in the early trading as the fore- cast predicted unsettled and rainy weather for the western half of the belt
 At the end of tue first half hour of trad ing prices were unchanged to points up compared with the close of Saturday.
 IL was entirely weather market throughout the forenoon session. The de- cided selling in evidence around the first call disappeared By the middle of the day prices were to points over Satur- day's close. I'urcliaSes were based on the expectation of wet weather in the west and also on fear that the cold wave in the northwest would fellow the expected rains and bring frost to the cotton coun- try Bull operators were not aggressive. On the advance liquidation set in with the result that rrices fell off again. With the second call the trading months were to poirls .nder Saturday, In the. a fl ternooil- the list was featureless Prices barely novel.
 Half an hour before the close the trad ing months were 3 to 5 points under Sat urday's quotations

Market Closed Steady With Closing Prices Show

New York May 13.-Todays cotton mar ket recovered an opening decline owing to unfavorable weather prospects but later eased off again in the absence of bull support and closed steady with last [ points for the day.
 The opening was easy at a decline of to points and the active months sold about to points lower during the first few minutes In response to the lower cables than expected and indications that the rainfall over Sunday had been lighter than anticipated from the forecasts of last Saturday There was considerable cot tor for sale but the offerings were well absorbed on the initial break and follow ing the official forecasts suggesting a re- rewal of wet weather in the belt, e-e merlxet quickly became firmer. Covering by early sellers and some support from the recent bull leaders contributed to the advance and the market during the middle of the morning sold point or two above the closing figures of last week. Offerings increased around this level and there was said to be no indication that unfavorable weather indications were leading to any broadening of outside de- mand The market during the afternoon sold off to nearly the opening figures, Aggressive offerings for short account were restricted. however, by the rain predictions and closing prices were to points up from the lowest. The official forecasts were for rains over Oklahoma and Arkansas with unsettled weather and showers in Texas while generally clear lot. far acfn belt except increasing cloudiness in Ala bama and Mississippi.

New York, May 13.-(Speeial.) better weather conditions brought about a dull and somewhat lower market today At the opening the traders bought the offerings in expectation of a recovery after the decline of the past few days.
 A rally did occur. the forecast for Ar l.ansas was for showers and unsettled weather west of the Mississippi, but no new buying appeared until the market sold back nearly to the closing prices.
