EXPECTED STRENGTH
 FAILS ID SHOW UP
Reaction Sets in Before Noon Leveling List-Net
 Changes Small

New York, April 2.-There were indica- tions for a time today of returning strength in the stock market. A moder- aeeNelume of buying was sufficient to lift prices generally, after brief period of hesitation in the early dealings. Tcadng became more active later, during which time few of the representatives were bid up as much as point. Before noon reaction set in. which ultimately leveled the list, and net changes ill most cases were insignificant.
 The decision of the courts that holders of Union Pacific preferred were not en- titled to participation in the special divi- dend disbursements ot Paitim) and Ohio caused only a temporary spurt in Cnion Pacific common. This movement, as Q market factor, was more than offset by the weakness of Baltimore and Ohio, winch for time sold down points. The stock was offered freely by traders, ,n tnA ground that h, lecres opened the way for the Baltimoce and Ohio stt .k distribution, which woui1 largely increase the supply of that stock.

MARKET CLOSES
 FIRM AT ADVANCE
Green Bugs and Fly Have Scare-crOw Effect on
 Short Sellers

Chicago, April 2.-Green bugs in Okla homa and Hessian fly elsewhere had a scarecrow effect today on short sellers of wheat Largely in consequence, the market closed firm at 14Ghc to ssc net advance. There was a gain, too, in all the other speculative articles-corn, Aq asc; oats, b@a4c to Ac, and provisions 5@ 74c to 12Iac.
 Although none of the advices in regard to the insect pests in the fields asserted any existing damage, and notwithstanding that a majority of experts were disposed to make light of such news. most of the wheat shorts would take no chances, it was evident the market had been some- what oversold and that for the time being at least the prudent course was to cover.
 Samples of Oklahoma wheat said to con- tain true specimens of green bug were exhibited to traders here, but were not so certified by any entomologist. The ex- tent of injury from Hessian fly was de- clared by good authority to depend on April weather when the brood is develop ing, last spring, cold, rainy weather acted
 
 tions were unreaized.
 Omaha reports of some export sales for clearance by way of the gulf formed the chief influence on the wheat market prior to the furry about the danger of in- sect depreciation becoming a serious men ace.
 Corn prices were nervous though within a comparatively narrow range The late strength in wheat brought about consider able buying. Reports in regard to the domestic cash business -contradic- tory, and also were tidings relative to Argentine shipments. Talk of a carload of the South American grain having been sold to come to Chicago by way of Mon treal was not given much weight. Liv- erpool expected decrease in stocks. Oats had some independent strength because of continued seeding delays from wet weather.
 Smaller receipts of hogs than expected here and in the west made the provision market bulge. Signs pointed to only 10S,0 900 hogs arriving in Chicago this week. as against 17s,000 for the corresponding week a year ago.

COTTON DISPLAYS { HIGHER TENDENCY
Close 8 to 10 Points Rise Bet ing Within a Couple of
 the Highest

New Orleans, April 2-Cotton had ( higher tendency today in the face of inns provement in weather conditions over the south and closed at a net rise of to 10 points, which was within a couple of points of the highest.
 Buying was based on reports of ex- haustion of supplies of spots in the in- terior and rumors that spot interests were heavy buyers of July. in which 1t was claimed there was a larger speculative short interest Telegrams from Texas said that shippers in that state had offer high prices over night without being able to buy cotton. These reports caused nerv- ousness among shorts and stimulated moderate fresh long buying
 The weather map was practically dry. so far as the cotton. belt was concerned. with no prospects of rain in the immedi- ate future. Temperatures were high. These conditions caused selling around the opening. but at the lowest levS>p of the day prices were only points un- der yesterdays final figures.

sorbed the arbitrage interest which has been transferred from here.
 It Is the buying of this interest here in the effort to extradite itself from n position proved to be wrong by the better demand for the lower grades month ago. There is no other demand, as bus- ness conditions are so poor as to reduce the demand for cotton goods and yarns to low sbasis.
 Whenever this arbitrage interest is cov- cred either the present basis or a closer level with Liverpool, this market will be found lacking in support except ing what will come from crop and trade conditions.
