WEEK WAS EASY

not been seen to any extent in cotton
goods and the present situation is one
in which the goods are required for inn
mediate or nearby distribution.
The weakness of the cotton market did
not help but appears to have had less
influence than the unwillingness of buyers
to enter upon any late business at this
time save in the instances where mill
orders must be given. OF the $4,000 pieces

10000 were for spot shipment

STRONG UPTURN
ON HEAVY BUYING
Wheat Market Had Already
Shown Decided Strength
in Days Trading

Chicago, April 1s.-Heavy buying OF
July and September wheat on the part
of leading elevator interests caused IL
sharp upturn today in the last half hour
of a market that had already shown de-
cided strength.
Closing figures marked a net pro-
gression of 4 a Is to Is q re; oats had
net upward movement of Is q 4 to

rise of shade to 15c.
Wheat was strong from the start on

Covering by shorts was early in cvi-
dence here and opening prices, which
were 1sc under to 1sc above the pre-
vious close at once hardened
After a temporary reaction to the
opening figures on little profit taking
showed decided resiliency. There were
reports of decreases in wheat stocks
because of sales to large wheat milling
interests and this brought on buying
that sent prices up to the highest point
of the day. Predictions of rain also
helped the upturn. The appearance of
grasshoppers in Missouri fields much
earlier than had been known for some
years precipitated a small crop scare
Favorable crop conditions elsewhere,
however, seemed to be ignored as was
also the news that navigation had
opened at the Canadian head of the
lakes, 36 ship loads OF wheat, "A OF
which were chartered for Buffalo, get

wheat today were $4,000 bushels
against 2S5,000 bushels last year. Sea-
board clearances of wheat and flour
equalled 44s.oo0 bushels. Corn was
narrow and dull most of the day. The
trade followed the upturn in wheat
and advanced a trifle on fair buying
near the close. Covering by shorts gave
firmness to oats after a sluggish ses-
sion. Lightness of lard offerings and
good demand gave frmness to proyis-
tons. Realizing sales were light and
scattered. Demand for pork was con-
centrated.

NET DECLINE IN

Cotton Future Market De-
clines 10 TO IA Points
During Week

New orleans. April 19.-The net results
of the weeks trading in the future mar
kets were a decline of 10 to "A points The
high prices were made on Thursday and
the low prices on Saturday. AT the high
est the trading months were to Il points
over last weeks close. At the lowest they
were 12 to 16 points under. The range was
10 to % points.
Heavy selling of the near months,
which was generally regarded part
and parcel of the manipulating now GO
ing on to gain control of the May posi-
tions. coupled with bearish sentiment
against the new crop months, because OF
favorable crop reports, put the market
down. At times there was considerable
transferring of commitments from the old
to the new crops Oh the part of tho
smaller traders, who feared the large op-
erations under way in May and July.
The story went the rounds persistently
that European cotton men we're heavy
buyers of May contracts In the markets
ON this side of the water and were con-
templating the cotton contracts In
wholesale way and shipping to the other
side In spite of these stories the mar
<et was under severe pressure during the
last two days of the week.
During the first of the week. tempera-
lures were too low to allow weather con-
ditions over the cotton region to be called
very favorable. At the same time the
dry weather allowed great progress to be
made with planting, although the low
temperatures retarded termination and
the healthy growth of young plants.
Later, temperatures warmed up and the
only complaints were from Texas. where
rain was needed. Planting is now fin
ished over a large part of the belt and
chopping is under way in the southern
portions. Planting has extended we'll into
the northern sections of the belt. Bears
considered crop conditions to be very IA
vorabe and sold considerable cotton short
ON the outlook with the result that the
new crop months were driven down to
new low levels.

CAPITAL QUESTION
ABSORBS TRADERS
Deadlock Between Investors
Y and Seekers of Capital
Remains UnbrOken

New York, April 19-Absorption Of
the financial community in the ques-
tion OF enlisting new capital continued
throughout the week
An extraordinary degree of atten-
tion was given to the course of the
new st. Paul Az per cent bonds be-
cause of its acceptance as a barometer
of the new conditions to which other
borrowers must conform.
The result cannot be said to fix
definitely the new investment basis or

The announcement that 20 per cent
OF the issue was left unsold when sub
scriptions were closed contrasted with
heavy over-subscriptions of successful
bond offerings in propitious times.
The inference was plain that the
rate of return, high as 1t Is compared
with older bond issues did not attract
Investors in effective numbers.
On the other hand dissatisfaction

Reduction of the Bank of England
Official discount rate from to IA
per cent was hailed with satisfaction
as an indication of easy money con-
cition. Foreign financial commentators
while expecting a further early reduc-
tion in the England bank rate to

gree only in a marked decline in money
rates. The admitted policy of the CEN

Balkan war debts show formidable re-
Guirements. Returns of national banks
of April show a low stage of re-

the likelihood of calls on reserve CEN
