COLD WEATHER TALK.
INFLUENCES BEARS.
Spinners Buying Contracts
Particularly for Far
: Months

New Orleans. April S0.-The cotton mar
llet displayed some tendency to react from
the decline today. Bullish gossip was to
the effect that tn emarlSet was badly over
sold and sold out. Bears appeared TO be
influenced a great deal by cold weather
talk and covered heavily. At the same
time there was plenty OF cotton for sale
and the market did not display any real
buying power. A feature of the day was
the report that spinners were buying con-
tracts, particularly the far months.
There appeared TO be little speculative
buying for the long account.
On the opening the tone was steady and
prices were to II points down on poor
ables, war talk from Europe, the further
fall in French rentes and what the short
side called very favorable weather map.
Bulls pointed out that temperatures were
too low and spread through the market
many kilograms from the belt which
claimed that young cotton was not grow
ing for lack of warmth In the early
trading there was a good demand and
prices reacted to points, but soon after
fell off again, standing to ii points under
yesterdays close around the middle of the
day This was the low level of the day,
Buying gradually increased. especially on
the short side, being stimulated to some
extent by reports of levee troubles in Mis-
sissippi and fear that the cold wave in
the northwest would work down into the
cotton belt. In the afternoon the market
stood unchanged to points up. compared
with the last prices of yesterday. The
close was steady, points up to 1 point
down net.

COTTON MARKET
CONTINUES NERVOUS
Opening Decline Is Followed
by Rallies and Close
Is Steady

New York, April S0-The cotton mar
ket seemed to be nervous or unsettled
today but an opening decline was fol-
lowed by rallies and the close was steady
net ? points higher to points lower;
new crops being relatively easy.
The opening was barely steady at a
decline of to s points, with July and
later deliveries making new low records
for the movement under overnight sell
ing orders, easy Liverpool cables, fav-
orable weather map and continued un-
easiness regarding political conditions in
Europe. There was a good demand at
the initial figures, however, and in adj
diton to realizing by old shorts there
seemed to be considerable buying by re-
actionists, while Liverpool houses and
trade interests supported July. The de-
cline was checked in consequence, in
spite of favorable weather forecasts,
prices soon began to improve. Demand
slackened somewhat the close of Liver
pool and the rally seemed to meet in
creased offerings from houses with south
ern connections which caused more or
less irregularity, but the best point was
reached in the late trading when old
crop positions sold about to points
net higher and the new crop recovered
to practically the closing figures of last
night. Closing prices were within 2 or
points of the highest Private cables
attributed the easy ruling OF Liverpool
to American and continental selling and
the latter was supposed to be partly due
to fear of complications in the Balkans.
Latest information secured in the trade
today indicates that houses with Liver
bales in the shape of May notices.

LEADING ISSUES
SEEM T0,IMPROvE
The Irregular Movement
Marks the Course of
the Market

New York, April 30.--Irregular move
inent marked the course of today's stock
market. The leading issues were inclined
to improve. At the same time, more than
80 stocks touched new low levels for the
year. Most of these stocks were of sec
ondary Importance, although the list in
cluded Southern Pacific, New Haven and
Baltimore and Ohio. Taken as a whole,
the movement was uncertain and confus-
ing. Although Reading, Lehigh, Union
Pacific, Amalgamated and a number of
other prominent issues ruled a point or
more higher at times, this improvement
could not be said TO reflect a growth in
confidence or buying power. The demand
seemed to arise chiefly from short cover
ing. and whenever stocks were offered
other than the speculative favortes in
which there has been heavy selling re-
Gently, it was necessary to make sharp
concessions to find a market.
After week of incessant selling, it was
regarded as natural that there should be
q reaction. An upturn was indicated by
the sharp advance of American stocks in
London prior to the opening here, al
though first prices in this market did not
follow up the Improvement abroad TO its
full extent. Early European adviees re-
garding the international political situa-
ton were more cheerful, and London
bought about 1900 shares here on bal
ance. Whatever help was derived from
this source, however. was minimzed by
the persistent weakness of long list Of
stocks. Southern Pacific sold off points
TO 955s on the adverse decision of the
lower court in the Oregon California land
grant cases. New Haven broke over 4
points, to 106 on the highly. nnfavorable
March statement, disclosing a decrease
in net revenue of $4,000, Several other
roads also reported shrinkages in March
earnings, Readings net earning from all
companies decreased S1,246000. Easing off
demand for steel products and growing
spirit of caution on the part of the buy
ers were reported in the weekly trade re-
views. In spite of this tendency, and the
! somewhat disappointing quarterly report
of the Steel corporation, Steel was held
up we'll, there being fairly consistent
demand from this stock from the shorts.
The bond market showed a sagging ten
dency. Total sales, par value, $2,175,000
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.

COVERING BY MAY
|MPARTS STRENGTH
Net Upturn of a Shade to
3-S01-2 Made After a
Weak Opening

Chicago, April 30.-Covering by May
shorts today gave strength to wheat af-
ter weak opening. A net upturn of a
shade to asa14 was made. Corn made
a net gain of Is, and oats finished II
to a4d7s up. Provisions closed unchanged
to 121a@15c higher
Considerable activity was displayed by
shorts in wheat who were covering be-
fore the first day of the May settlement
tomorrow. The ensuing upturn in values
was aided by milling sales of rather large
proportions. There was also considerable
new investment buying of all months.
Weakness was shown at the start on
reports placing the probable crop in Kan
sas at 129, ,520 900 bushels, and declaring
that much of chinch bug talk lately
prevalent affected only certain sections
of the state where the wheat acreage
was small. Lower cables also had de-
pressing effect at the start, the trade
abroad seemingly ignoring the unsettled
European political outlook. When the
bulge came later the market had become
weak and nervous.
At the finish July was 4 higher than
May, the short interest in the last named
month having apparently been pretty
we'll taken care of.
Primary receipts of wheat today were
SOL 900 bushels. last year $4,000 bushels
Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour
equalled $4,000 bushels.
Decrease in offerings and considerable
buying by large houses lifted corn. The
market showed stubborn strength all
day. Increased stringency in state grain
inspection caused short buying that
lifted oats.
Strength in prices at the yards and the
hrmness of the grain list helped provi-
sions.
