SHARP ADVANCE IN
 PRICES OF COTTON
Weather Report From South Plays Important Part in
 Yesterdays Dealings

New York, May 6.-Reports of wet weather in the south over Sunday ap- peared to revive bullish new crop ap- p1ehension In the cotton market today and there was a very sharp advance in prices with the close strong at net gain of from 3s to Il points.
 The opening was firm at an advance or 15d1s points on favorable weather map and relative firm cables. There was enough cotton for sale between renew al of bear pressure ana selling by re- cent buyers, causing some irregularity
 but the tendency of the market was up-
 ward until the active months were sell ing about 2ad25 points net higher. At this level offerings became heavier and
 there was reaction of 5 or points from the best but the official predictions for unsettled weather with showers over the belt. except in the extreme southwest prevented aggressive selling for short ac- count and the market soon firmed up again.
 | Private crop reports reflecting the un- | favorable effect of the week end rains and claiming that in some sections of Georgia | replanting would be necessary owing to | the rotting of seed, inspired more confi-
 den. buying in the afternoon and the mar
 ket reached the highest point of the day | in the. late trading. July contracts sold at | 11.6oc and October at lille, or 65 to 6s points, nearly $35O per bale above the low
 records of last week and within 19 to 70 points of the seasons high records es-
 tahlished on April 22. Closing prices were within as point .or two of the best.
 The buying was general during the day | and came from southern and foreign l sources as we'll as from local traders. l Liverpool reported the advance had been | influenced by the bad weather news and | the talk around the local ring reflected | extreme nervousness over the new crop l outlook owing to a feeling that very fa- l vorable conditions were necessary this 1 month if the crop was to recover from l the setbaclxs of the earlier spring. 1 Receipts 10316 bales against 16,494 last week and 72104 last year
 l Today's receipts at Galveston 26i9 against 1927 last year; at New orleans 127 against 6470 last year and at Houston
 2l2s against 1877 last year.

BU[[ISH SHOWING
 IN CENTRAL STATES
Upheaval in Wheat Prices as a C0nsequence-New
 High Levels

Chicago May 6.-Upheaval in wheat prices today resulted from the bullish showing in Ohio and Missouri states crep reports and from equally alarming figures collected by the grain dealers of Illinois. The market touched new high levels for the season, $1.1S and s115 respectively for May and July and closed with a gain of 1c to 1ssq1&c net. Corn finished is0Ac to ssc down, oats varying from s4c off to he ad- vance and provisions strung out 7hc each way from the prices current IS hours before.
 Sentiment in the wheat pit swung so much to the bull side that selling came only from holders taking profits Many other owners preferred to wait for the federal government report to be issued tomorrow afternoon.
 The condition figures in Ohio were A. per cent against 61 last month and S6 year ago. In Illinois D per cent of the acreage was declared to have been abandoned and tho condition of the re- nlainder IS per cent.
 Extreme predictions were made that the Washington figures on the entire winter wheat crop would drop as low as S50,000,000 bushels. July fluctuatea from $1.1s&@1.15 with final sales 1B @1& up at s1.14ss @1.14h.
 The weather and reports of increased acreage pulled down the price of corn. Liberal receipts had a similar effect. Ire vlume of trade was light July ranged from 7ec to 77ss Q77%c. closing weak ssc net lower at 76%c. Cash grades were offered more freely. No. yellow was quoted at s0A QS0hc. Although business in oats was more active than in corn, the general tone was heavy. Holders became discour- aged by reports of ideal crop prospects. July ranged from 53ssc to 52ss 52 s4 c with the close at 527sc, a net deesline of &c.
 Provisions were irregular and slow. Pork made some advance, the rest oi the market a decline, but neither ae- tion was deemed significant. Future quotations were as follows.

CLAYTON THINKS
 BILL WILL PASS
Sees Strong Sentiment in Favor of Limiting the Terms of
 President

Washington, May .-(Special)-Con- gressman Clayton of Alabama. who a few days ago introduced a resolution limiting the term of the President of the United States to six years and making him in eligible to reelection, is confident that his measure will be passed in both houses, and that 1t will be ratified by the requis- site number of states to make it affec- tive.
 Senator Works of California has intro duced a similar resolution in the Senate and will urge it's passage. Congressman Clayton's resolution has been referred to the judiciary committee of which he is chairman. He declared today that the committee will consider the resolutions dur ing the next few days and that 1t would have favorable report.
 Mir Clayton introduced the resolution immediately following the suggestion of President Taft that such an amendment should be adopted to the federal con- stitution. The President himself called attention to the unseemly spectacle of an ex-President and a President en- gazing in a scramble for renomination and election.
 The Clayton and Works resolutions ap- pear to have considerable support and will probably pass at this session.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New orleans, May 6.-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of II to IS points on a wet weather map. Rains were reported at many points. The pre- cipitation was heavy. The forecast promised more rain- which intensified fhe effect of reports from some sections that serious damage had resulted to the new crop through the rains of the last three days.
 Some sections claimed that they have. been given no chance to complete blow ing and that this might result In con- siderable acreage being thrown out ow- ing to the lateness of the season.
 At the end of the first half hour of business prices were 25 to 26 points over Saturdays close.
 Buying was about equally divided 1 etween the two accounts.
 It was weather market all the Reports from the belt were enough to keep the market ct the advance after one or two set backs of very moderate proportion on pront-taking occurred Little attention was paid to anything but weather re- ports. Reports of slower business in the dry goods market had no effect on cooperation here In bolstering prices.

AN EXCITED BUYING MOVEMENT IN COTTON

New York May e.--There was an ac- tive and excited buying movement in cot- ton today and prices recovered prac- ticaly E per bale of their recent loss on renewal of new crop apprehension, caused by reports of rains in the south and predictions of continued bad weather sympathy The close was 2S to fl points above Saturday July contracts sold at 11.6Oc.

New York, May 6.--(Special)-A strong market from the start to the close on q demand led by buyers of Saturday and finally on the covering by the Wall street traders who sold last week. The strength of the market was due to the showery weather over Sunday, during which period scattered showers occurred over Alabama and the south Atlantic states. Heavy rains also fell fin Louisiana and Texas.
 Just at this time when dry weather Is needed this rainfall is thought 10 be most unfavorable to the outlook for the crop. Probably the largest buying came through Alabama sources, but at the close Wall street brokers were buying heavily
 This advance again confirms our view that the weather will control prices.
 Liverpool Is due to come 10 points high CT fin the morning.
