The game was seven-inning affair. as a double bill was scheduled for today. The second game of the double header was called on account of rain in the third in- ming.

HiGH RtCURD MADt BY WESTINGHOUSE Reports of War Orders Con- tribute Towards Active
 Stock Market

New York. April 29.-Circumstantial re- ports that additional war contracts had been awarded to American manufacturers contributed to today's active stock mar ket. Equipment and industrial shares ad- vanced from ? to points, Westinghouse Electric making high record.
 United States Steel was the pivot around which the list revolved on dealings ag- gregating about 20 per cent of the whole. advanced 17s points to within the smallest fraction of the years best price, but fell back toward the close, to the accompani- ment of adverse trade rumors.
 Although the volume of business was be- low that of recent active sessions, to- days movement was very broad, taking in almost every division of the list.
 Local fractions barely held their gains of the previous day Declines of point or more in steel and some other fasorites provoked some irregularty at the close. Total shares, 95S,300 shares
 The local bond market yiervev none or yesterdays strength, but trading WAS much lighter. New York Central oe- benture sixes were higher and Wabash refunding As rose over points. Total sales. par value aggregated s6, 320,e0

COTTON DROPS WITH GOOD CROP REPORTS War News Not Encourag- ing and Is Factor in
 Drop

New orleans. April 29-Cotton gradually worked to lower levels to- day under selling based on improve ment in weather and crop accounts, the growing belief in fairly large acreage and unfavorable cable advices War news was not considered encour- aging and had more or less effect in the afternoon The unfavorable state ment of the Bank of England also was factor that caused bearish comment Late in the session, following tso marking down of local spot quotations by 13 points the market took on an easy undertone. At the lowest of the day prices were Ii to "a points under yesterdays final figures; the close was to F points under.
 Trading was not active and, despite the numerous bearish features, pears were not aggressive. Only at times was there much selling pressure on the market and generally moderate buying served to hold prices up. This appeared to be due to the firmness with which spots in the interior were being held. Spot buyers continued to report diff culty in securing the grades they want ed except at stiff prices.

COTTON QUIET IN NEW YORK MARKET Scattered Selling Inspired by Favorable Weather
 Reports

New York. April e9.-cotton was quiet today with prices easing off un- der scattered selling. apparently in of weather conditions south. Closed steady to II points net lower
 Opened barely steady on relatively easy cables. reports of showers or rain in the eastern belt. selling by houses with Liverpool connections and local liquidation
 Reports that over an inch of rain had fallen in the Raleigh section were not confirmed however, and after points the market steadied slightly on the eastern belt forecast for fair weather tonight and tomorrow anu the prospect for unsettled or cloudy conditions in parts of the southwest
 Support also was rejected by re- ports of strengthening goods mar ket and bullish acreage advices, but buying was far from aggressive. and the market eased off again during the renewed liquidation and little pres sure from local traders. Closing prices were the lowest of the day The easier turn in New Orleans was accompanied by reports of freer spot offerings there and Liverpool reported less active spot demand. while there were rumors around the ring here that some of tte larger spot houses had been quiet sell CTS during the day. Detailed weather reports showed more or less general kTff Ii,f, ..l..< t.. 4t Atlanta and Savannah districts while no further precipitation of consequence was reported in the western belt.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York, April 2s.-(Special) Liverpool continues to sell in this market and look for pressure from the south as we approach the new crop Local sentiment agrees with this view of the course of prices for the immedi- ate future believing that the advance has discounted all of the known fac tors. To one who has seen the expanse of land throughout the south devoted to foodstuffs together with the aJ- mitted reduction in the use of fertil- izers such a view seems odd, especial iy when 1t is coupled with the improved demand for cotton goods and the gen. eral Improvement in business, never theless at the moment no one cares to listen to anything but a pessirnistic view of the course of prices and the market closes 10 points lower than yes- terday with a further decline expected abroad tomorrow
