REACTION RALLIES
COTTON MARKET

connections, however. seemed 10 be buy
ing cotton i'm the local market, While
there was also an active demand from
OLD shorts and considerable buying OF
new crop deliveries by short houses. This
seemed sufficient to absorb early offer
irss and the market soon rallied or
points from the lowest with July lead
ing the advance and being apparently
in particularly good demand by Liver
pool and New Orleans interest With
the close of Liverpool many of the buy
ing orders were withdrawn, however,
and the market eased Off again during
the middle of the day under renewed
pressure inspired by favorable weather
forecasts and private wires reporting
easier spots in New Orleans This break
carried old crop positions shade under

wires from Greenville reported break

GENERAL BUYING
At NEW ORLEANS
Cotton Market Under Con-
siderable Pressure in the
Early Part of Day

New Orleans. April 2l.-The cotton mar
Isef was under considerable bear pressure
in the early part of today's. session. but
before noon the short interest took to COW
erlng in general way. while In the aft
ernoon the demand from this source in
creased and general buN'ing was stiIi1l-
lated by reports of fresh break In the
Mississippi levees. Bulls did not become
active bur allowed the market to talSa
care of itself.
ON the opening the tone was steady aud
prices were one point up to five points
down. compared with the last prices of
Saturday Cables were not as good as
due and the weather map was called very
favorable. At the lowest Of the morning
prices were to points under Saturday 5
close. The good opinion of weather eondi-
tons was strengthened by the forecast Of
rains in Texas, which has been the only
state to send in complaints that were re-
garded as at all serious and its complaints
have been almost wholly in regard to dry
weather At noon the market was steady
with prices . points up to points down,
net. In the afternoon prices gradually
rose to a level of S to 10 points over Sat-
urdays final figures, moderately heavy
buying taking place in the last half hoar
of trading on reports of a fresh break in
the levee south of Greenville Miss. The
close was steady at net advance of

SLIGHT ADVANCE ON
LITTLE CROP SCARE
Wheat Goes Up But Other
Grains Show Losses
at Chicago

Chicago, April 21.A little crop scare al
home and strong foreign markets abroad
lifted wheat here today. the net upturn
being is@ssc. Other markets showed these
net losses: Corn, ls@i4c TO ss@14c oats q
shade to i4e. provisions s1aa171ac.
Reports from parts of Kansas that rain
was badly needed and that wheat WAS
turning yellow and adviees that in east
ern Kansas cinch bugs were in greater
number than ever before, brought a rally
after the market had eased off a little on
the visible supply also helped the uplift.
E'irmness in foreign market formed an
other bull factor, as did also reports that
Baltimore was again in the market for
hard wheat for export Later the effect
of the decreased visible supply-the fig
ures showing 2.462, 900 bushels Tor last
week-was somewhat offset by statistics
giving primary receipts at nearly double
those of the same week a year ago. Prices.
however, were steadied by news that a
large part of the wheat acreage in Tex
as is so badly damaged by dry weather
that it will be abandoned, one expert
placing the figures at 30 per cent The
market was somewhat nervous for the
rest of the session, but a rush of buyini,
at the close sent values up to the highest
point of the day. Primary receipts were
so3, 900 bushels, against $4,000 bushels last
year. Seaboard clearances of wheat and
-four equalled 100000 bushels.
Corn was dull nearly all day. though
helped at intervals by strength of wheat.
An early increase in the movement OF
corn is expected, owing to the splendid
weather.
Oats developed a heavy tone in sympa-
thy with corn
Provisions were weak most of the day.
There was liberal selling of pork by one
of the large brokers and this affected the
entire list. The average weight of hogs
last week, 245 pounds. was the heaviest
this market has recorded for two years.

Hubbard Bros. 4 Co.'s Letter

New York. April 21.--tSpecial )-Cables
this morning about met our decline OF
Saturday. and there was enough fresh
liquidation and selling at our opening to
bring about a generally lower range OF
prices. On the decline the market again
met with a trade demand and also with
buying from Europe in both crops. which
steaded prices. Later on in the day COW
ering operations advanced the market
from tile low some 10 points. There IS
no change in sentiment, which remains
extremely bearish, traders pointing to the
clear weather east Of the river in sup
port of the bearisl crop views now wide
ly entertained and freely circulated. II Is
still clear in Texas. but as yet this fac
tor attracts only passing moment. On
the other hand, there is considerable de-
mand from the trade of the sealedown.
which prevents the sharp decline general
ly anticipated. The weather will bear
close watching as any sudden change for
the worse would find a short market.
