CLOSE FIRM At THE
HIGHEST OF THE DAY
Cotton Quiet but Steady
With New Crops Showing
Resistance to Pressure

New Orleans. May 16.-The cotton mar
ket was quiet but steady today with the
new crops showing decided resistance To
selling pressure around the II cent mark.
In the morning session the market had
tendency to decline on good weather
and crop reports but In the afternoon
the tendency was to advance and the
chief reason for the rise seemed TO be
that not enough rain had fallen In the
eastern half of the belt. Professionals
seemed willing to buy on this feature
even In the face of the forecast of rain
tonight and tomorrow. Shorts were fair
ly good buyers of covers the day through.
On the opening the tone was steady
and prices were 5 to Z points down on
good rains in the cotton region. Bears
also called attention to the seasonable
temperatures in the belt. Bulls bought
little cotton in the morning session, the
demand coming chiefly from the short
side. At the lowest the trading months
were I to points down, reports of cot
ton blooming in southwest Texas stinu-
lating some little fresh selling for short
account Toward noon the market COM
menced to recover and in the afternoon
1t went to net advance on kilograms
circulated by bulls tending to show that
drouthy conditions in the east had not
been wholly relieved. At the highest
the trading months were to points
over the final figures of yesterday. The
close was firm at the highest of the
day.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-05-17
NET ADVANCE IN
ALL KINDS OF GRAIN
Squeezing of Shorts in May
Oats Count Strongly
Against Bears

Chicago, May 16.-Squeezing of shorts in
May oats counted strongly against the
bears today in all kinds of grain Net
advances were: oats. 1sa1Ac; wheat, %@
1c; corn, ss@.sc. Provisions finished d0a
121sc off to &c up.
Renewed con plants of insufficient
moisture made oats shorts nervous. 1t
was vigorous commission buying attrib-
utee to a concentrated long interest, how
ever, that started a stampede to cover
and spread oullish influence to the neigh
boring pits May delivery was bid up 11ac
to $3.50; holders were willing to accept
profits Even at that price the sales of
May were accompanied by equal sized
purchasing of September.
In the wheat crowd, new sellers were
scarce. The furry in oats made caution
desirable. Kansas sent word of chinch
bugs, and there was less favorable ad-
vices concerning the crop outlook in Rus
sia as we'll as predictions of smaller ship
ments from that country. Expected ad-
justment of the sight draft dispute. which
has interferred with export business, gave
further encoura cement to the bulls.
In addition, clearances of wheat and
flour for the week were the largest since
1902 The total today equalled S35, ,000
bushels. Primary receipts of wheat to-
day were $4,000 bushels; a year ago, $751;
900 bushels.
Corn gained support because of STOP
page of offerings from Iowa. Progress
in planting there was reported slow, and
ieserves likely to be held for 80 days
yet.
Provisions averaged lower on account
Of a liberal run of hogs west. Packers,
however, through commission houses,
steadied the market.
Future limitations were as follows:

FURRY CAUSED IN
COTTON MARKET
Showers in Eastern Belt
Cause FURRY of Selling.
Close Steady

New York, May ia feeling that
had been partly relieved by showers and
that further showers were to be expected
caused quite furry of selling in the cot
ton market early today, but offerings
seemed to be readily taken at moderate
decline and prices more than recovered
the loss, closing steady net unchanged to
6 points higher.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of points on May, but generally
unchanged to points lower ard sold
to points under the closing figures of
last night on active positions. The
weather map showed more general pre-
cipitaiton In the south than has been re-
ported at any time since drought COM
plants began to come in from east of the
river, but the best rains were west of the
droughty sections and neither the weather
news nor the expectation of bearish week
end figures seemed to create any really
general or aggressive seeling. On the
contrary, offerings were quite readily alb
sorbed by covering of shorts for over the
week end or foreign trade buying on the
early decline, and after the publication
OF the detailed report showing only light
scattered showers In most districts east
ofNthe river the market became firner.
Business was comparatively quiet during
the middle of the day, but Wall street
and uptown shorts We're quite active buy
ers in the last half hour and closing
prices were practically the best. A
further decrease in the local certificated
stock probably accounted for the relative
ly steady tone In July, while new crop
months were held back on the rally, ow-
ing to more favorable private crops ac-
counts and renewed predictions of eastern
belt rainfall. Liverpool was closed today
and will remain closed tomorrow, and the
influence of a full weeks holiday in Man
chester was considered partly responsible
for the small decrease of about $4,000
bales in the worlds visible supply of
American cotton for the week, as COM
pared with a decrease of $4,000 bales for
the same week last year

PRICES HOLD FIRM
At HIGHER LEVEL
Stocks in Scant Supply With
Demand Practically I'm
limited

New York, May 1s.-Having sold
stocks on the two previous days, trad
ers today bought them back. The slow
upward movement represented another
of the alternate advances and declines
OF the week in response to the drift
or speculation. Bear traders fearful of
an over extension of the short account,
did not venture to carry selling further
In view of the evidences of strength
at the opening and the advance of
American securities in London. Stocks
were in scant supply and although the
demand seemed to be limited principal
ly to the requirements of the shorts,
prices rose generally
When covering was completed the
market came virtually to a standstill
but prices were held firmly at the
higher level The underlying strength
or the market was indicated by its re-
slstance to renewed liquidation which
broke out late in the day. chiefly among
the lower priced railroad securities.
Seaboard common and preferred, Wa
bash preferred and st. Louis and San
francisco common, and second preferred
all touched new low points for the year.
Weakness of several issues of railroad
bonds was still more conspicuous. Rock
Island collateral As, st. Louis and San
Francisco As and 5s, Chesapeake and
Ohio convertible 41as and Southern
Hallway 5s touched the years low point.
In spite of the liquidation of these
securities the general market held firm.
closing at tfe best prices of the day.
Reduction of the New Haven dividend
rate from per cent to 6 announced af-
ter the close yesterday had been fully
discounted in the long decline of recent
months and the price advanced today.
Amalgamated was strengthened by the
fortnightly statistics of the copper
stocks In Europe showing an unexpect-
edly heavy decrease. Forecasts of the
weekly bank statement indicated gain
of cash of $4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 16-(SpeciaL) 1.-The
usual speculative dullness continues, but
the market is steady with the position
showing large short interest indisposed
to further commitments.
AS a result the news of the rains in the
belt fell upon an unresponsive trade.
There is little to mention beyond local
nature of trading, the confidence in lower
prices and the lack of speculative busi-
ness.
While every one seems confident tina [
the signs all point toward a decline and
say that a crop disaster is needed to ad-
vance the market prices hold steady and
close better than last evening.
