Hnbhard Brns R. CosLetter

New York, May 17-(Special. blower cables than due and another good weather map gave an easier tone to the market today although only a small volume of business was transacted.
 Crop reports were more favorable. as the clear weather in the eastern belt js enabling farm work to proceed During the day it was reported that the Senate had passed a measure relating to the June condition report, but as the reports from Washington gave the provisions as different from those which passed the House, the trade Is a good deal mixed as to whether or not this means tho June report will be postponed.
 It was generally believed in the late aft ernoor that the House would have to take some action in the matter before it would be definitely settled. However. the confusion in regard to the June condi- tion report remains so unsettled that the Washington reports had little effect upon sentiment. Meantime should we be now running into a period of clear and sea- sonable weather for the cultivation of the crop 1t would be likely to have the domi- nant influence on the minds of the trade in general.

FURTHER DECLINE
 IN COTTON MARKET
Continued Good Weather in South RespOnsible-Loss
 Later Recovered

New York. May 17.-There was a fur ther decline in the cotton market during today's earlier trading owing to contin- ued good weather in the south. but the loss was just about recovered late in the afternoon and the close was very steady, net points lower to 1 point higher
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of 6 to F points in response to lower cables, reports that Texas was al- ready offering new crop shipments to Liverpool and general favorable weather map. Encouraging private crop reports from a prominent travellng expert con tributed 10 the early selling movement. and the active months showed a net loss of from 10 to P points after call. Favor able forecasts for the eastern belt in- spired predictions of further rapid im- provement in the new crop outlook. but the prospects for unsettled weather to- morrow in Oklahoma and increasing cloudiness over east Texas caused ap- prehensIons that fine weather might not last over Sunday. and the market ral- lied or D points from the lowest during the morning
 Reports that the Senate had passed a bill providing for postponement of the governments acreage report reached the market during the noon hour and caused rather more aggressive offering on the ground that with good weather an acre age report compiled about July 1 would be less bullish than a report as of May 9. and the market sold off to net loss of about 12 to IS points, Later advices however. Indicated that the condition fig ures would be published on June 4, as originally scheduled, and the market ral- lied rather sharply in the late trading on covering by earlier sellers or a renewal of bull support
 Closing prices were practically the best point of the day. Private cables from Liverpool attributed a decline there to absence of demand and better American reports Trading here was generally quiet and seemed to be chiefly for local accounts.

New Orleans Cotton Market

| New Orleans, May 17.-Cotton futures opened steady at decline of to 10 | points on poor cables and good
 weather map. Both sides sold on the l first call and commission houses evil dently had an accumulation of selling orders over night from outside inter ests and other sources.
 The weather map was clear and dry, except for light rains along the At
 lantic coast. Temperatures were only moderately low At a, level of 10 to Il points down, shorts took profits. The buying gave the market q steady tone. At the end of the first half hour of trading prices were 6 points under yes terdays close.
 All morning the list had down ward tendency. The forecast promised fair weather over the cotton belt gen erally and the tone of crop reports was decidedly more favorable than they have been since the beginning of the new season. Much chopping of the crop was reported in the central belt and in Texas, and telegrams from Mis- sissippi indicated favorable conditions in some counties which were supposed to be in a bad way. Prices fell off
 until at noon they were 12 points un- der yesterdays figures.

WHEAT DROPS OVER Z CENTS 4 BUSHEL
Demand for Cash Wheat Cut Figure in Partly Restor-
 ing Confidence

Chicago, May 17.-Strain In the wheat trade. although unmistaxably evident to- day. diminished when the fact became obliged to suspend. Signs of a revival of flour business and of demand for cash wheat cut a figure in partly restoring ccnfidenee. but not until the market had fullen more than cents below last nights level
 The close was irregular. ranging from 5sd%c net decline to 5sc advance Corn flnished S@hc off to Ac up: oats un- changed to 9sc down and provisions vary ing from 1oc loss to 171hc gain.
 A majority of dealers this evening were inclined to believe that liquidating sales Of unusual magnitude were at an end for the present unless something radi- cally different should develop as to the crop outlook. Arvices today continued to be of the bearish sort. Experts in Ohio nevertheless sent word of more for bidding conditions. Covering by shorts, who were influenced to some extent by the Ohio dispatches. was followed by re- instatements on the part of a few of the mere courageous longs who regretted having been carried away In yesterdays stampede.
 The worst decline in wheat today seemed to result from the throwing over board of weak holdings in the cases where calls for margins had met no response. On the other hand big decreases in stocks at Minneapolis and Duluth counted fin favor of rally and so did the notable stability of prices across the Atlantic. July fuetuated from s1.06% to 1.o9 and wound up at $1.0S1s@1 .os1a, just 9saAc un- der last night. Other options all showed oven more power to recuperate.
 Vigorous bidding up of May corn kept other deliveries from going far on the down grade. Finer weather however, for planting gave the bears an advan- tage that they pressed energeticaly at times In addition there were big Argen- tine shipments. July varied from 7SSsc to 75Ac, but closed relatively firm in sympathy with wheat at 74Mc, loss of 1sdAc net. Cash grades were in poor demand. No. yellow was quoted at SEC.
 Renewed grit on the part of a few longs rallied oats after liquidation and short selling had for while nearly svamped the market. Covering by shorts to secure profits formed an element in tLe situation responsible for the upturn. Outside limits touched by July were 4S1kc and 5ossc with last sales 1sc off at 497sc.
 Commission houses believed to repre- sent the large packers wlthstood a flood Of offerings in the provision pit. Transac- tions in lard particularly reached re- markable total. At the end of the ses- sion prices averaged the same as last night except that pork for distant de- liz cries had sagged 10d17kc.
