SENT|MENTLESS
BEAR|SH IN COTTON
Profession Traders Salts
fled With Moderate
Profits
By HOP

New Orleans May The cotton mars
Set had steady rndertone today, with
sentiment less bearish than for some
time past. Professional traders were
more inclined to take the long side, but
they were satisfied with very moderate
profits. and their realizing checked the
upward movement in the afternoon ses-
sion Shorts were inclined to cover on
complaints of low temperatures over a
large part of the belt and the continued
lack of moisture on the Atlantic states.
No great volume of business was done
and the market wore a waiting appear
ance at times.
The opening was steady at an advance
of 2a6 points on much better cables than
looked for. The weather map was not
called any too favorable, and a small
market gradually rose until around noon
it stood 12@1s points over yesterdays s
last figures. This was the high level of
the day. Buyers of the early hours took
their profits and the market fell off,
closing steady at a net gain of SIl2
points
The gossip of the market underwent
a decided change today. many of the
kilograms and letters circulated tending
to show that the new crop is getting a
much later start than has been expected
right along.

COTTON MARKET
HIGHER ON COVERING
Closing Prices Show Reac-
tiOns With Final Tone
Steady-Net Gains

New York, May THE cotton mar
ket was higher today on covering and
\ fair scattering demand which seemed
drouth damage in the eastern belt and
tie less favorable acreage of private
crop reports. Closing prices showed re-
actions, but the final tone was steady
and last prices still showed net gains
of from to IL points. The market
opened firm at an advance of to 3
points in sympathy with higher Liver
pool cables than expected and active
months sold s to 9 points net higher
right after the call on covering by some
of yesterdays late sellers who We're
evidently disappointed by the failure
OF early weather news to show the
showers predicted for the eastern belt
yesterday. Realizing and sellers for
turn on rumored showers in north
west Alabama caused reactions of 4
or points shortly after the call, but
the official eastern belt forecast was
for continued clear and cooler weather
and prices soon firmed up again, In
addition with covering there appeared
to be considerable demand from
broad as well as support from local
bulls or reactionists. and there were
numerous private reports from east of
the river indicating that cotton was
getting a poor stand owing to the low
temperatures and dry weather. Moro
over. reiterated predictions of large
shipments from the local stock were
colored to some extent by the fact
that the certificated supplies here has
already lost 1000 bales since the end
of April and with trade accounts from
the continent more optimistic there was
also talk of a considerable July short
interest still outstanding in the local
market. After showing a net advance
of from ID to 16 points, however, the
market turned easier under renewed
reports of rains in Alabama, unfavor-
able private spot adyces from Nieks-
burg and Memphis, realizing by early
buyers and considerable southern SELL
ing. Closing prices We're 6 or points
Off from the best in consequence, but
offerings We're we'll taken at the de-
cline.

WHEAT ADVANCES
IN THE FINAL HOUR
Good Export Sales RESPONSE
BILE; 1-Sc Gain for July
and September

Chicago, May Good export wheat
sales gave strength to a previously weak
market. Closing figures showed a net
gain of 1sc for July and September, but
Ma, was at a net decline of 1s414c
Corn scored a net uplift of ss41ae TO
s4@7sc, oats finishing at a net advance
of hd3sc to &c, but provisions closing
irregular. 2lac off to SC higher.
The change from weakness to strength
in wheat came in the final hour. Re-
ports of export sales last night and to-
day placed the total at 250,000 bushels.
When this was made public, the market
already was recovering somewhat from
early weakness, the uplift being helped
along by purchases on the part of trad
ers who had oversold. Thereafter consid-
cradle activity marked trading and
prices showed frmness, easing off biz,
however, in final figures.
Though May picked up some from
opening figures, 1t could not equal the
handicap of the gains of the other
months Early weakness was the out
growth of continued bearish crop condi-
tons in this country, and because OF
improved Russian crop prospects which
weakened foreign markets.
A report that the Ohio wheat crop held
| it's own last month and that the Michi-
gan crop had gained a point were added
features in the domestic situation.
Primary wheat receipts today 703, ,00C
bushels, against $4,000 bushels last year.
Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour
| equaled 276000 bushels. Speculative buy
ing lifted corn. Reports that Argentina
corn harvest was hindered by rains was
an additional bullish influence.
Fears of damage to oats by dry
| weather in Illinois and Indiana caused
| the upturn noted in that market. Pro-
visions, after weak opening, improved
somewhat being helped through the
whole list by large speculative buying of
September lard

mixed movements, in which no well-de-
fined trend was discernible, the stock
market became dstinctively strong IL
the final trading and closed with SUBJ
stantial gains for many of the important
stocks.
AT the opening of the session bear
traders attempted TO carry further the
decline of yesterday. They were sue
cessful in forcing down prices tempo
rarily, but later met with determined
opposition. which brought about smart
advance, The demand fell off on the
rally and movements thereafter N the
course of the day were uncertain, unti
the final ontburst of jociSeying on the
buying side which lifted prices to then
zenith.
Speculative interest again centered ir
the Hartman stocks. whose heavness n

ture. Southern Pacific broke TO 931a, a
