DECLINE SHOWN IN
 COTTON MARKET Sharp Break Under More or Less General Selling.
 Opening Steady

New York April 26.-There was sharp break in the cotton market today under more or less general selling and the close was easy at net decline of from i6 to 24 points.
 The market opened barely steady at decline of from 1 to points in response to lower cables than expected. the better showing of the weather map than sug- gested by the official forecasts and pri- vate rain reports of yesterday, and liqui- dation of May attributed to the circula- ton of notices estimated at about 25,Ooo bales.
 Leading trade interests were buyers of May on the opening decline and the east ern belt forecast for general showers or thunderstorms also contributed to slight rally right after the call. but offerings were very heavy and the market soon weakened. After selling off a net loss of from IA to 16 points there was a rally of s or points from the lowest on covering by early sellers and some local buying for turn encouraged by private reports that 1t was raining in Mississippi and Alabama
 These advices, however, lacked con firmation and the market became very weak in the later trading under a renewal of heavy general selling. Closing prices were at practically the lowest point of the day and. represented a reaction of something like 40 points from the high records of the week. Wall street was a heavy seller during the day. New Orleans also sold here and in the late trading there was heavy selling attributed to up- town interests and Memphis,
 Late wires from Memphis reported clear weather at that point. Bigger into sight figures than expected as result of largo end week receipts may have helped the afternoon decline in connection with re- ports of stacking spot demand and claims that the markets failure to re- spond to the official forecast for showers in the eastern belt indicated that unfavor- able weather reports had lost their influ- enoe above the f1ihc level.
 Receipts, 29.553 bales, against 31,SB last week, and 9335 last year. Today's receipts at Galveston, PAP, against 1870 last year at Orleans, 214s, against 1594 last year. and at Houston 2416. against $40 lastayear

RUNAWAY MARKET
 FRIDAY IN WHEAT
Frightened Shorts Compete Wildly With New
 Investors

Chicago. April 26.-It was a runaway market today in wheat. Frightened shorts competed wildly with new investors who had waited in vain to buy on a reac- tion. The stampede started hs a result of sensational crop damage reports from Kansas Closing figures were strong, 1%@ 2ssc higher than last night.
 Corn finished at decline of a shade to 1e; oats varying from is@14c down to 1-1sc advance, and provisions increased in cost 1215Q15c to 25c. "
 Wheat prices advanced Into new ground and wound up at practically the top level of the session and for the year thus far The bulge amounted to Sc from the low point of the day, the largest single jump since the upturn began three weeks ago. Chicago crop experts traveiing in Kansas were chiefly responsible for the dispatches that stirred speculators to such a pitch. The losses were said to be in largest producing counties, notably Pawnee and Barton.
 Southwestern markets were slow to fol- low the advance here in wheat, but event. Nualiy rallied on account perhaps of buy4

 Corn showed heaviness, reacting from the buoyancy of the previous cay. Coun- try offerings were larger, and the cash demand slim. Fine weather counted, too. in favor of the bears. July fiuctuated be- tween 77lfc and 7Sc, closing steady. Ac down at 75ssc. Cash grades were weak; No yellow was quoted at 7ss4dsohc for car lots.
 The oats market took color from corn. but experienced a sustaining effect due to rains checking seed operations in some districts. Outside limits touched for July were 54Ac and 544c, with the close 54ltc, a rise of shade above last night. Alleged widespread disease among hogs in Germany resulted in a remarkable de- mand for provisions All offerings were absorbed at stiff prices At the end of trading pork was up 55c; lard 321saS6c, and ribs 12hd15c to 171ac.
