COTTON PRICES SET
 NEW HIGH RECORDS
Weather Report Causes a Sudden Renewal of Gen.
 eraI Buying

| New York, May 10-The cotton market
 was very active again today. but after
 making another set of new high records
 for the movement, prices eased off under heavy realizing with July contracts sell l ing down from 13.10c to t2.95c, and closing
 at 12.96c. The general list closed barely
 steady at net decline of to points. 1 Liverpool did not fully meet yester- days advances and the opening here was ] somewhat irregular with May points 1 lower, while other months were un- changed to points higher. There was a
 renewal of buying by trade interests. while Liverpool was also a considerable buyer to undo straddl es and the general
 list sold about to points net higher dur ing the first few minutes. Realizing was heavy, however, and thme market grad
 ually worked off during the morning with
 July selling down from 13.0Sc to 12c, and October from 13.26c to 1317c, or a shade
 under last nights closing figures. The summary of the weekly weather report, stating that the crop was not getting a good start caused a sudden renewal of general and aggressive buying around midday, and losses were not only recov- cred, but the market sold into new high ground with May touching 13.04c, Octo- Der 13.39c and December 13.53c. Many early sellers for 8 reaction covered on this advance, while recent profit takers were replacing their contracts and for a time the buying was as urgent and active as on any bulge since the beginning of the bull movement. The demand soon tspered off, however, and the market be- came unsettled in the late trading on press advices from London to the effect that allied governments would not con- sider peace proposals until Germany had bee ndefgnitely defeated, the detailed weather report by states was considered rather more favorable than the summary, which may also have promoted the dispo- sition to take profits on long cotton and selling was general on the late break, which carried May off to 12.S2c and Octo- Der to 13. 15c. The close was at practi- cally the low point of the day. Aside from conflicting peace talk and the show ing of the weekly weather report, there was little comment upon the days news around the ring. and otherwise the fea-
 ture most generally discussed was the
 persistent demand from some of the
 larger trade interests.

Ayery's Letter

There are those who imagine that prices are made by spectators either on the bull or bear side. These persons are judg- ing the market by its action rather than by the causes which made the action. In other words, their market position is de- termined by the chalk marks instead of by Fundamentals. This cotton market has gone up because there was a limited SUD- ply and because there was an extraordi- nary demand. Spectators might have bought million bales and unless they had these fundamentals back of them they could never have maintained any advance. Prices have advanced around 5 per bale and small reaction is not at all unlikely, but there is no reason to become alarmed over it. It wont add bale to the supply or reduce the con sumption iota.
 Prices sold off in the last few minutes on rumor that Premier Asquith had said there would be no peace until Germany was on its knees. I don't believe he said 1t. Even if he did, while he is big fig Ire. public opinion is bigger
 Take advantage of these setbacks to buy cotton. aC F. AVERY

TRADING QUIET ON
 STOCK EXCHANGE
Mexican Affairs Continue to Engage Attention of the
 Speculative Interests

New York, March 1o-The only note- worthy feature of today's market, aside from it's further irreguarity was the marked curtailment of operations. Even the first hours business was only nomi- nal, and thereafter trading steadily di- unfinished. The uncertain trend of the opening was occasionally relieved by spas- modic advances or decline, but these proved to have no actual significance ex- cept in a few prominent issues, whose movements resulted from well defined causes.
 Mexican affairs continued to engage the attention of speculative interests and the possibility of federal inquiry into the coal situation caused some selling of stocks which may come within the scope Of such investigation Trade authorities referred to showdown" in the steel and iron industry and United States April ton mage statement, which broke all previous records seemed to fall on barren ground.

HIGH PRICES PREVAIL ON WHEAT MARKET
Reports of Damage to Crops by Severe Weather Send
 Wheat Prices Up

Chicago, May 10-Increasing drouth in the southwest and west, together with damaging gales there and in the north mount higher and higher. The market closed strong. 15s@1%c up, with July at s1 .1797ssss71. .1734 and September at s1 171z. Corn lost A@ssc to 1a@5sc. Oats finished at 1sc to ss@19c advance, and provisions off 21k@15c
 Topmost prices of the session prevailed for wheat at the close. The ascent. which began with a sharp upturn as soon as the market opened, received initial i'm petus from the failure of predictions of widespread showers overnight. Iistead, the wires were crowded with advices of continued excessive dryness and heat in Kansas Oklahoma and Nebraska. Sand storms in Kansas and dust storms in Nebraska were also reported, and then came word that high winds had blown sed from the ground in thousands of acres in North Dakota. Experts travelling in Kansas telegraphed that the crop there was deteriorating beyond doubt and would fall back still more rapidly unless halted by immediate rain
 On the bulge some of the early buyers of wheat turned sellers, presumably to realize profits Fresh purchasing. how ever, readily absorbed all the offerings. In the latter trading one house alone took 750,O00 bushels of the July delivery.
 Although corn at first sympathized with the wheat strength, values later headed down-grade. Slacknes of eastern demand tended to handicap the bulls, and so too did assertions that corn acreage this sea son in the southwest would break all rec ords Green bug is doing damage in Okla homa and Kansas oats.

Sugar Market

New York, May 10.-The local mar ket for raw sugar was quiet again and while spot prices remained unchanged in the absence of business, the under- tcne seemed to be little firmer with holders asking higher prices Yester- day there was a little sugar available in port at 5Ac cost and freight, but today these offerings were withdrawn and 5Ssc was asked by holders. Clos ing prices were 652c for centrifugal, 5.75c for molasses and 51ac for Cubas cost and freight.
 In refined there were moderate with drawals on old contracts but new bus mess was light. There was no further business reported for export and yes- terday's sales to the British commits sion were estimated at 5000 at 665c fob New York. Prices were firmly held at 765@775c for fine granulated
 Futures were easier again for near position under continued liquidation by commission houses. although later positions were steadier on covering with closing prices points lower to 3 higher. July sold from 564@554c closing 5.56c; September, 5.6S6D5.59c closing 5.60c; December. 5.15@5.11c. closing 5.1Sc; March. 4.5Oc, closing 4.51c.

Her Golden Chance

From Answers.
 They had been walking out for some months, but as yet he had not screwed up his courage to the point of openly avowing his intentions.
 One dark night. however. as they strolled along he gave a wild gasp, and muttered hoarsely:
 Mary, Ah'm goin' to kiss ye at livery stle twixt l'ere an 'ome!'
 Mary was on the point of ascending a stile as he spoke. but she promptly jumped down again with blushing face.
 "Coom on, then.' she said coyly.
 She turned her steps in fresh direc- ton. and the young man laid a trembling restraining hand on her arm.
 "Wot are 'ee goin' that way for?' he asked. 'ris much longer way 'ome.'
 Ay. know, said Mary, in determined tones, but there be a sight more stiles.,'

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 10.-Al day so far as We could observe, the south has been sell Ing against the cotton remaining in their hands from this season and the previous years crop. Even when the government report indicated a poor start from drouth in the Atlantic states the selling contin- ued. Most of the buyers came from the northern and western states based on the idea that with peace. present prices were low. The sharp break in the after noon was due to an English official statement that no peace would be con sidered On the basis of prices today we think the south did well to accept the highest prices ruling since November, 1913 for what they wanted to sell.
 Judging from the action of the market the short interest has been eliminated to a marked extent on the advance.

SEA FOOD IN DEMAND .ON MORRIS AVENUE l
No Changes Noted in Local Quotations, But Flour
 Market Is Uncertain

The supply of red snapper on Nor ris avenue is barely equal to the de- mand, with a prospect for slight shortage in the near future Prices, however, are unchanged and dealers report no likelihood of an immediate advance, At this time of the year the demand for fish shows an increase, the consumer as a rule turning from the heavier meat of blooded animals to the lighter diet of sea food. With the exception of snapper, the supply of fish is all that could be desired.
 No price changes were reported in any line on Morris avenue yesterday, but it was stated that tomatoes are getting more scarce and that the local product is practically off the market The flour market is somewhat un- certain as to prices, due to the activity in wheat centers. but dealers here an ticipate no immediate advance of any consequence.
