PEACE TALK CAUSES COTTON
BUYING, AND PRICES RISE
German and Liverpool Brokers Buy
on Small Scale

NEW YORK, May 11.--Resumptlon of
peace talk brought in large amount of
new buying on the cotton exchange this
morning. which more than offset fairly
extensive overnight selling orders Oper-
ators who purchased on Wednesdays
break also took profits but the start was
steady, with prices to IL points higher.
Liverpool and German brokers purchased
on a small scale and a demand came from
uptown interests, while the orders exc
cuted by commission houses seemed to
indicate an increased public interest in the
market
After the call the selling continued quite
large, but the buying power had not ex-
erted itself and was sufficient to hold
prices in the late options within points
of the start. while July showed a gain
of 2 points. '~~
Numerous complaints of droughtsin the
southeast and the official forecast for
frost in the Texas Pan Handle seemed to
stimulate demand on the advance during
the middle of the morning and prices sold
about Is to Is points net higher, with
July touching 1314c, or within s points
of yesterdays high record
Realizing was more active late In the
morning and reactionary sentiment was
more in evidence, although there seemed
to be no change in the general character
of the news. July sold off from 13.14c to
12.96c., or back to about last nights
closing figures, early in the noon hour,
but trading then became less active and
prices steadled few points from the
lowest on covering.
Bull support failed to materialize on an
important scale and the market in the
early afternoon ruled about steady at
net unchanged prices Exports for the
day were 2s,t4 bales, compared with
1890 bales year ago. Clearances for
the season aggregate 4 $685. 1872 bales COM
pared with 7,506,615 bales for the cor
responding period last season.

cess of Reorganization Plans.
Independent Oils Move Up

NEW YORK. May 11-Many interest
ing features were presented in the trading

interest was attached to the appearance of
quotations for the new issues provided for
in the proposed reorganization of the In
ternational Mercantile Marine Company.

were traded in at 90. These initial deal
fngs may be regarded as indicating the
successful carrying out of the proposed
reorganization which has been practically
agreed to by all the security holders COM
mittees. 1t was a matter of unique in
terest that the dealings in these securities
on the Curb and in Marine preferred on
the Stock Exchange were on orders COM
ing from representative Dutch and Ger
man houses. including Boyssevain & Co.
and Hallgarten Co.
The officials of the common stockhold-
ers committee definitely stated that they
had no knowledge of the preferred stock
holders plan. although that statement
yersant with recent developments.
Independent oil stocks continued ex-
tremely prominent in today's trading on
the Curb, with progressive buying MAX
ing many of these issues move up sharp
ly Today's feature was United Western

tunlties in connection with the exchange
for the new consolidation stock. The

to the present cost of Lynn stock, leaving
