FURTHER RISE IN
 FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Session In Stock Market, However, Devoid of In-
 teresting Developments

New York, May 2o.-The session on of interesting developments The trad ing was dull throughout and the mo- notony of the movement was relieved only by the heaviness of such issues as Missouri Pacific and Western Maryland, whose affairs admittedly are unsatisfactory. The shares and bonds of these companies fell from l to points. Chesapeake and Ohio, New Haven, American Smelling and some of the utilities, including Peoples Gas and Consolidated Gas, were inter mittently heavy, but net changes, espe- cially among the leaders, were negli- gible. R
 In its broader aspects the real fea- ture of the day was the further rise in foreign exchange. Demand sterling advanced to 4.SS55 and cables were quoted at 4.S9. indicating a contin- uance, probably on an increased scale, of recent gold exports. Brokers re- ported a more persistent demand for our metal from Paris and Berlin, and the inquiry from the latter cenlter is popularly believed to be for Russian account.
 urtner auVlceS or an unIOWaru character dealing with the crop out look were received, but were accepted with reservation. Conditions in the steel industry were reported to be practically unchanged except for sig nificant buying of pig iron, which is assumed to presage an increased de- mand for some of the finished prod ucts in the near future. The copper metal markets at home and abroad were working towards betterment, but local buying continued cautious.
 Foreign stock markets were not un- like our own, London manifesting a sluggish and dropping tendency. with some weakness at Paris and Berlin.
 Local monetary conditions were un- changed save for some easier tenden- cies in time loans Total interest and dividend disbursements in the coming month are somewhat in excess of the corresponding period last year and a better inquiry for bonds may precede the release of these funds.
 Weakness in issues mentioned af- fected the general bond list. prices falling on reduced dealings. Total sales. par value, amounted to $1,400,- 900.
 Government bonds were unchanged On call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May O.-(SpeciaL) 1.-The very high barometric wave over the Atlantic Atates and the Allegheny mountains has brought more rain over Texas, and as the governmen predicted, more showers in that state, where clear weather is needed, we have had an advancing market under buying by many of the large Wall street houses.
 This demand carried the new crop up some 20 points and tonight there is hardly anyone who does not look for higher prices based on the damage caused by these rains in Texas and Oklahoma, M
 Whether the market will advance fur ther depends entirely upon whether or not the rains continue. That is a factor which no one can foresee; should they cease the trade can reach a decision as to the ex- tent of the damage.
 Until that time the market will advance, but if 1t should suddenly clear we doubt if the demand will continue to sustain prices.

GRAIN SPECULATORS
 KEPT IN TURMOIL
Wheat Advances to Highest Crop Thus Far Recorded
 On the Crop

Chicago, May a0.-Despite heavy selling
 to realize profits. the wheat market today advanced to the highest point thus far re- corded on the crop. Alarming reports of
 damage from Hessian fly kept speculators
 in a turmoil and made the close strong
 at rise of 7sGl1ssc net. Corn gained A@
 ssc, and oats ssc to 1h@1Ac. Provisions finished a shade off to an upturn of 15c-
 According to one authority. the prospect was for a cutoff of 100.000ooo bushels in the 1914 wheat harvest cmpared with the
 extreme figures month ago. Conditions
 on which this estimate was based were de-
 scribed by a leading expert in southern Illinois as follows: More than 50 per cent of all the stalks have the little white larvae of the Hesslan fly deposited just
 above the first joint In some of the fields | there are as many as F grubs on one stalk. Wheat cannot mature properly now. and there is an irreparable los sof many
 million bushels. If it stays dry week l or 10 days longer the loss will be ter rife"
 Assertions were current that in some sections farmers proposed to burn up | fields to extermnate the Hessian fly infec- tion. Elsewhere in regions where the damage was less severe, predictions were
 made of increasing disappointment at the jappriach of harvest.
 Strength in corn was mainly through
 sympathy with wheat. There were also re- ports of storms seriously interfering
 again with the movement of the Argen- tine crop, and further diminishing the ex- portable surplus. On the other hand do-
 nestle offerings to arrive from the coun- try proved liberal and shipping demand here was slow.
 Traders in oats had crop scare of their
 own. Dry weather was given as the chief cause
 Provisions developed no action of im- portance. Interest was dwarfed by excite
 ment regarding wheat.

HEAVY BUYING 0F
 COTTON FEATURE Most Active Months Close At Net Advance of 9
 to n Points

New Orleans, May 20-Heavy buying was the feature of the cotton market today, much of it coming after the noon hour. It was based on belief in crop damage due to the heavy rains over night in Texas, coming as they did on top of many days of rain, In the early trading there was a small net decline but this did not last long. In the afternoon the market went II to P points over yester- days last figures on the most active months and closed a, a net advance of to Il points.
 In the early part of the session bulls were inclined to be cautious and evil dently were impressed by the talk of an cverbought market, which came from both the bear side and traders who had been holding off from the market Also outside of Texas weather conditions showed improvement which led to the hope of general good weather for the south within a day or two. The market had no selling power, however, and mod crate buying turned the trend of prices upward. As the day advanced buying increased.

COTTON MARKET IS
 GENERALLY FIRM
Prices Reach New High Ground On Broadening
 Demand-Cl0se Higher

New York. May 20.-The cotton market was generally firm today with prices mak- ing new high ground for the movement on broadening demand. which appeared to be inspired by expectations of bullish crop condition report from the govern ment at the beginning of next month and the reports of a continued steady old crop situation.
 Closing prices were firm and from to IS points net higher. New crop positions led the advance during the afternoon and at the close tonight December contracts were selling within s4 points of July, com pairing with difference of some S9 points less than month ago.
 The opening was steady at a decline of l point to an advance of points. which was just about as due on the showing of Liverpool. but prices quickly worked higher on covering by recent sell CTS and commission house buying. The western belt forecast for more unsettled weather with probable showers was evi- dently a disappointment to some of yes terday's sellers for a turn, while the east ern belt forecast for continued fair or partly cloudy conditions probaoiy empha- sized complaints of insufficient rainfall and low night temperatures in that sec ton.
 Realizing and some local selling was en- countered on the advance. but offerings were well absorbed and the demand seemed to increase on reactions of 3 or 4 points.
 At any rate. the market showed a gen erally upward tendency, with active months selling 10 to 20 points net higher in the late trading and closing within a point or two of the best
 The detailed weather report for the Houston district showing showers at many points during the past 24 hours probably contributed to the firmness of the market during the afternoon. May was relatively firm at the opening. but showed little feature late.

Land Problem in Syria

m -
 l. The rural population of some dis trlcts of Syria evidently have much in common with the farming class of Mexico The backbone of the consti- tutionalist cause below the Rio Grande Is said to be the inability of the peons to obtain land for themselves, and this state of affairs rules in Syria also, ac- cording to the daily consular reports.
 Of the Syrfans who emigrate from the port of Tripolf (Asiatic Turkey), |S5 per cent come from the country. These men and women have nothing to lose and everything to gain by leav- Ing the country, since they are forced 10 work for others and cannot buy land Tor themselves, even when they have the money. It is the custom of land lords in the district surrounding this seaport to allow their acres to be idle rather than part with any of them Of- Iers of purchase made by former ten- ants ants Who have come back from the united States with the price are re- fused
 The Syrians cling to old customs Witn tenacity, says the report. and vet when they break away they frequently go 10 the other extreme. Tripoli for years nao street lamps of about six cahoiepower; now forced draft Raso- line lamps of 500 candlepower are in operation and plans are under way to introduce electric light. The buildings used to be constructed with only one story and exceedingly thick walls But with knowledge of iron constructiors have come houses of from three to five stories with thin walls supported by iron beams. The latest effort toward public improvement lies in plans to do away with the water supply and distribution systems. which have been in use since the days of Roman domi- nation and supplant them with a mod ern water plant.
