MARKET IS DOWN ON HEAVY LIQUIDATION
Decline at New Orleans At- tributabIe to Number of
 Reasons

New Orleans, May 25.-Heavy Hqui- dation of long contracts, combined with a considerable volume of short selling, worked against values in the cotton market today. At the lowest the trading months were 21 10 26 points under yesterdays final figures. The close was at net i.sss of 13 to 20 points. The decline started on the opening call under general selling stimulated by poor cables, and what was considered very favorable wealth CT map. A feature of the early trading was the throwing overheard of line of 25,0O0 bales of long contracts by Texas operator. Selling was still further increased by the forecast of fair weather for the entire belt and a private bureau report on condition of 80.6 per cent.
 In the early afternoon the market reacted moderately, but at the highest of the day prices were still about 10 points under yesterdays close. Toward the end of the session the tone was unsettled by the reduction of 12 points in spot quotations.
 It was generally considered that the bulk of the liquidation was in order to even up lines over the coming first condition report of the sgason by the government.

Sugar Market

New York, May 25.-The local market for raw sugar was a little more active today and while spot prices remained un- changed, the undertone seemed to be firmer, in that there was less sugar off, fering than on previous days this week. There were further sales of Cubas for prompt shipment at the old level of SAC cost and freight to operators and, and 5000 bags of Cubas for June shipment at 5ssc cost and freight to refiners. The close was firm, with Cubas cost and freight quoted 5Ac, equal to 6.27c for cen- trifugal and 5.5Oc for molasses.
 In refined, prices remained unchanged but there was a little better demand from exporters, sales of 5000 tons being reported for nearby shipment and it was generally believed that exporters were in the market for June and July shipment The domestic demand, however, was mod crate and withdrawals on old contracts were only fair. Prices were listed on the basis of 7.65 to 7.75c for fine granulated.
 Futures showed a sagging tendency early and at one time prices were 1 to 5 points below last nights finals on con- tined liquidation by commission houses The news of further export business in granulated and the renewed activity on the part of the refiners in raw sugar caused sharp covering movement and together with some buying by trade in- terests, prices rallied closing 3 points lower to net higher. July sold from 52o to 5.21c, closing 525c; September 529 to 5.24c, closing 52Sc; December, 491 to 4.S7c, closing 4.S9c.

DROUTH IS CAUSE
 OF WHEAT ADVANCE
Deterioration in Oklahoma and Kansas Account of
 Hot Weather

Chicago, May 25.-Drouth and excess sively hot weather caused rapid deteriora- tion of crops in Oklahoma and parts of Kansas brought about advances today in the wheat market here Closing prices although unsettled, were 1s0Ssc net higher, with July at Sl.1O3sG1101a, and September at $1114. Corn lost 11sq27sc oats finished 1Ac down to a shade advance and provisions off to 21zc.
 As a result of prevailing adverse con- ditions, estimates on the Oklahoma wheat crop were reduced by some authorities to- day to as low as 100000 bushels, as against recent forecasts of 25,000,000 bush els, and against last years harvest of S6,500000 bushels. Figure on the Kansas yield were also much diminishing, &C., cording to current opinions, one widely accepted total being 75,0O0,000 bushels, whereas the latest state report suggested JOS, ,000,000 bushels. Under such circum- stances offers to sell wheat were decidedly scarce the greater part of the day, but on the other hand the attempts to buy showed a material broadening out
 Two Interruptions to the upward course of the wheat market took place-one just after the opening, the other shortly be- fore the close. Predictions or cooler tenn peratures and possible showers, especially in Oklahoma, caused the transient early setback.
 Sharp breaks in the value of corn fol- lowed announcements that additions of 100000 bushels to the public elevator ca pacity here were to be made forthwith. Besides the weather was ideal for the growing crop. Oats held relatively firm owning to crop damage reports from Ok lahoma and Kansas. Bearish advices from other states failed in the main to act as as an offset.
 Provisions weakened with hogs and corn. Packers appeared to be temporarily on the selling side.

PRICES IRREGULAR
 ON COTTON MARKET
General Selling Movement Attributed to Weather and
 Crop Accounts

New York, May 25-The cotton mar ket was extremely nervous and irregu- lar during today's trading. After sell ing at 12.s9c early, October contracts broke to 12.76c but rallied to 12.Ssc and closed at 12.SSc, with the general list closing barely steady at net de- cline of 12 to 21 points. The general selling movement was attributed to inn proving weather and crop accounts, but old crop longs were transferring into later deliveries, and new crop months were relatively firm at the close
 With the political news failing to encourage the more optimistic view of peace prospects reflected around the ring here late yesterday and with Liv- erpool relatively easy, the market seemed to be readily influenced by the favorable showing of the weather map during the early trading. After opening barely steady at decline of 10 to 13 points there were slight rallies on buy ing attracted by the sharp rally of the previous day, but there was scat tere southern selling here, and prices soon weakened. It was reported that Texas interests were liquidating July
 
 contacts in New Orleans, accounting for the weakness there, while both Liverpool and New Orleans were sellers around the local ring, and there was active liquidation as well as scattered local pressure. Rumors that returns to a crop report from the bureau indicated an increase of 7 per cent in acreage and a condition of S0.6 per cent were not confirmed, but evidently exercised some influence on the decline which carried the active months 20 to 22 poitns net lower during the middle of the day with July selling at 1273c and December at 12.91c. As had been the case yesterday, trade interests were good buyers around the 12&c level, however, while offerings diminished after the heavy liquidation of the fore noon; and prices rallied some 9 or 10 points from the lowest during the after noon. This bulge met some renewed realizing within the last few minutes and the close showed slight reactions.

TRANSFER INTEREST l
 FROM SPEC|A[TIES.
Trading Moderately Active But Lacked Briskness of
 Early Week

New York, May 24-Transfer of specu- lative interests from investments to spe- cialties assumed well defined proportions today, leading rails extending their de clnes, while munitions, shipping shares and miscellaneous stocks made va riable gains, only a few of which were retained at the irregular close. Trading was moderately active, but lacked the feversh movements of the early week.
 Reading continued to be the target of the short interest, declining to 102A at tho opening, rallying to 105ia, falling back to 1013s and closing at 1021s, an over night loss of 1$s points. It was again the largest contributor to the days op- erations, with an overturn of 11bWo shares. Other rails were relatively dull or heavy, closing with a fair average Of quotations under final prices of the previous day
 Bethlehem Steel led the war brides in extent of gain, showing more than its usual activity on its advance of 171a points to 4591a. United States Steel gave promise at midday of resuminga its for mer leadership, rising 11s points to S6Hs on numerous individual transactions ranging from 1000 to more than 5000 shares.
 Crucible and Lackawanna steels were materially higher at their best, together with some of the minor industrials, and locomotives supplemented yesterdays best prices before the reaction of the last hour. Automobile and can issues were outstanding features during the mid session, General Motors gaining 5 points, with 2A for Chandler Motors, which made new maximum of 105%, while Continental Can rose briskly to 1041a on it's gain of 6A points.
 Total sales of stocks amounted to TO-, 000 shares.
 April statements of transcontinental and greater granger roads were again highly favorable, Union Pacific reporting a net increase of $l,44S,0O0; with S645000 for Atchison.
 Bonds were steady on fairly large distribution of trading. Total sales par value, $4,430,00O.
 United States and Panama bonds were A to F per cent lower on call

Coffee Market

New York. May 25.-There was re- newal of active liquidation in the mar ket for coffee futures here today. Ex- cept for slightly heavier Brazilian re- ceipts, there was no feature in the re- ports from primary markets that seemed to attract much attention around the ring and the selling was most generally attributed to realizing by either foreign or domestic longs on the nearer approach of the new crop movement, or less favorable view of immediate peace prospects. The bulk of the selling came early in the day, however and after opening at de- cline of 10 to Il points with September selling at S.60c and December at S.72c- prices steadied on covering. Trading was less active on the rally to S64c for September and S.7Sc for December, with the market closing at net ad- vance of points oM May and June, but generally points lower. Sales. o4,250. May, S.40c; June, S.45c; July, S.5oc; August, s.56c; September. S6Sc; October, S69c; November, S.73c; De- cember, S.7Sc; January, S.S3c; Febru- ary, s.ssc; March, ss2c; April, Ss6c.

Avery's Letter

Our market opened to s lower this morning in sympathy with Liverpool. Cables stated the English market was depressed by liquidation of straddles. During the morning prices declined to around yesterdays low, but met suffi- cient support at this level to check the downward tendency.
 Washington advices state pressure is being brought on the President to take steps to modify the blockade of the Ger man coasts, cotton exporters claiming they have sustained enormous losses by being unable to deliver cotton to Ger many.
 Spots were quoted a few points lower on very small sales at ? or 3 points, but generally unchanged, with nothing offered for sale at the decline.
 A short interest is being accumulated and I advise buying cotton on this set back. c. F. AVERY

 Can't" he replied: and there was a word of dissatisfaction and disgust in his tone. T ain't allowed to wallow around now, but if I had my old pants Cn I'd a been dead long before this"

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, May 25.-Liverpool acts as though, when the Manchester spin ners finished with their call cotton, that there was not sufficient invest ment trade to sustain the high prices ruling abroad. No one can just see why more cotton does not go to Liverpool when it does go to the continent in larger proportion. The weakness of the market today was in the July position, which has been heavily bought by northern and western traders on the idea of a corner or on another idea that there was not enough cotton Our trade thinks there is a large interest in that month against hedges sales. Good weather prospects brought about heavy selling here from the southwest
 On the close Liverpool sold January.
