tons and tons of water had passed
through the break in the pipe and cas-

As the management Of the building

higher compared with yesterdays close Cables were about as expected. The weather map was a stand off. The south was reported sending in no rain. This led to selling orders after the call. At the highest in the early trading prices were 1 to points up.
 At the end of the first half hour of business prices were 6 points under yester- days close. Shorts were inclined to take profits on the decline which gave the market a steady tone.
 Around the middle of the morning the market displayed weakness under special selling which was supposed to be the liquidation of long cotton. The short side became over anxious for profit taking and stepped into pitfalls. They began to buy to realize. This buying checked the de- cline. Purchases were augmented by the weather maps posted in the building, showing showers for the western half of the delta.
 Late in the forenoon the trading months were to 5 points over yesterdays close At the lowest they were to 10 points under Before the second call the list was steady and quiet. There was then a net advance of to points,
 Reports of rains in the cotton belt strengthened the market at o'clock. Prices afterward weer II to 12 points over yesterdays close.

SELLING MUCHLESS
 ACTIVE: IN COTTON Prices Rally on Covering and UnfavOrable Weather
 Reports-Close Firm

New York, May 2.-There was some fur ther liquidation in the cotton market to- day. but the selling was much less ac- tive after the sensational break of yes terday. and while prices made new low ground for the movement during the morning they rallied on covering and re- ports of rain in the central belt. with the close firm at net advance of from 9 10 15 points.
 The market opened steady at a decline of 1 to points under renewed liquida-i ton and local selling. encouraged by prospects of sood weather in the eastern belt and rumors that there was still con siderable long cotton that had been car ried over yesterdays break, but which might come on the market in event of a further decline. There was active cov- ering by recent sellers and considerable buying for a reaction, but the market acted very nervous. and late in the fore noon sold off to a net loss of from 9 to 10 points under pressure of long cot ton and fresh selling by local bears.
 The western belt forecast for unsettled weather and showers had little effect on the early market. but in the afternoon private wires reported that 1t was raining in central sections of the belt, and the market became considerably frmer The advance continued to meet scattering liquidation. but the selling was nowhere near as heavy as yesterday, and the mar l1et closed within a point or two of the best.
 There was nothing in todays news to throw any additional light on the sen- sationaly heavy selling of yesterday, but the impression very evidently prevailed that some of the biggest leaders In the market had been liqudating Reports that interior spot holders would not fol- low the decline in futures and the largest spot sales reported at Q decline in Liver pool probably helped the advance here during the afternoon, and there was also considerable buying of the near months by trade interests during the progress oi the early decline. The bulk of the buying. however was attributed to cov- erlng of shorts or the operations of re- actionists.

WHEAT UNSETTLED
 TOWARD THE END
Market All Day Felt Effect of Lower Cables-Expect
 Heavy Shipments

Chicago. May 2.-Despite private fore cast that the government report would suggest a winter crop 100000 bushels sagged because of a lack of delivery orders. Closing prices ranged from last nights level to %a7sc below. Latest trading left corn varying from 9sq1kc down to hc advance, oats unchanged to 1kc off and provisions struggling from the same as 24 hours before to 7jsc de- cline.
 Something of a selling furry started at the outset in the wheat pit coming to an official statement implying that the Kan sas crop would amount to 93,0o0,000 bushels, notwithstanding recent. advices that dam ages had been severe In this connection notice was taken of signs that the Texas yard might reach as high as 20oo.O0o The mild, fine growing weather which pre- vailed over the entire winter wheat belt today counted also against the bulls.
 There was sharp rally in wheat when an authoritative estimate put the winter crop at 35S. S.0Oo,0o0 bushels, but the market gradually slipped back after 1t became clear that support depended wholly on professional traders who had been com mitted to higher prices.
 The market all day felt the weight of lower cables due to expected heavy ship ments from Argentina and was nervous and unsettled at the end. Between the opening and the close July fiuctuated from $l09s4 to s1.1O&, with last sales at Sl .10l9Qp1 .10ss, a loss of tsc net
 Corn ruled a little firmer early on ae- count of rains in Illinois. but relapsed when country sales from Iowa increased Besides eastern demand was poor. and there was word that Argentine shipments for the week would be 100000 bushels, compared with zero the corresponding time last year. July ranged to 77i4c to 7Sc, closing Ae lower at 7T11G777kc Cash grades were steady. No. 3 yellow was quoted at S04dS1c
 little weakness characterized oats as a result of unloading by pit longs. The Texas crop was figured at double that of last year. Outside limits touched for July proved to be 537sc and 545sc, with the close lse under last night at 54e-even
 Provisions averaged lower because of large receipts of hogs and in conseuuence of liberal stocks of products in store Buying at the decline, however, was ac- tive, and when the gong sounded the only material net loss was in pork, 5c to S1ac

New York, May 2.-Coffee futures opened quiet at a decline of ? to 6 points to- day in response to lower European ea- bles and sold off to net loss of about to II points during the day under scat tering liquidation, due to local pressure.

RISKS HIS LIFE TO
 SAVE AGED "AUNTY''

Jackson, Miss. May 2.-(Specia1)- The Illinois Central has investigated the accident at the Jackson depot last Friday, by which H. W. Snow, secre- tary to D. J. Brumley of Chicago. chief engineer of construction, lost foot in a heroic effort to save the life of an old negro woman, Mollie Meredith, whose face, hidden behind a big sun bonnet. failed to see the approaching train or to hear the shouts of those abount her.
 Those who conducted the investiga- ton were A. E. Gift, general superin- tendent, T. F. Hin, division superin- tendent: H. P. Campbell train master of the Illinois Central; Rev. W. A. Borum and Oscar Newton, president of the Jackson bank. The consensus of opinion was that the railroad company was in no wise to blame, but the he- roism of the young man was heartily commended.

Hubbard Bros, & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 2.-(Special )-Spas- modic liquidation continued until the afternoon. the offerings being absorbed by spinners, brokers and spot houss- taking in hedges against spots. Later the day reports of rain in the MisSer sippi valley were received. causing advance, with the tone firm at II told points higher than last evening, srge."
 The situation has been chans page the withdrawal of the supportdarles, '" interest which was the stronsNas the during the advance of the pasam F. months, but unless the weatheris pr. sonable for the crop the decline will be recovered. To our view only crop conditions will influence the course of prices. if they become favorable the reaction will not hold and vice versa
 Liverpool cables that market was disposed to resist the decline. That market Is due to come about points higher in the morning.
