COTTON PR|CESTAKE
 ASMALL ADVANCE
Large Exports for the Day Attract Attention and
 Helped Steady Tone

New Orleans, June 5.--Gotton stood at a small advance throughout the session of the local market today Recent short sellers were buyers of covers and some fresh buying begun, appearing on the long side, bulls being impressed with boil weevil accounts and complaints of too much rains in some localities in the central belt Bearish traders claimed weather conditions were most favorable but the market did not have the selling power displayed at times last week.
 In the early trading the market stood to 12 points up and this rise was wid- ened to Il to 1S points. Late in the day scalping longs realized profits and the market reacted moderately from the ad- vance, closing at net gain of , to 8 points.
 The large exports for the day attracted attention after the noon hour and helped keep the tone steady. Foreign clearances from all ports amounted to 51,0l9 bales against receipts of only s02S Exports thus Tar this week amounted to S2.925 bales.

Hamstringing the Parcel Post

Probably the biggest thing the national government has done for the farmer since the establishment of the rural mail delivery was the creation of the parcel post. It is quite Unnecessary to tell people how much the parcel post means to them, especially to the farmers.
 But a determined effort is afoot to strike down the parcel post in it's early stages of growth, by hamstringing it with regulations and restrictions The whole country, especially the rural com munity, needs to understand and to take measures to save this splendid facility.
 The parcel post legislation provides that the interstate commerce commits sion shall on petition of the Postmaste General, determine rates, conditions. regulations, weights of parcels, etc, for the parcel post service. That is, the interstate commission is vested with au- thority to fix rates and conditions of transportation for the railroads and ex- press companies, and in these cases anybody may appeal to it to exercise it's post rule limits the weight of a parcel handled by post to 50 pounds. That is the maximum that Uncle Sam will han dle However. if the Postmaster Gen. era, wanted to increase the maximum

SUBSTANTIAL GAINS IN MOTOR STOCKS Rails Were Checked by the Character of General
 Trading

New York, June 5.-Speculative opera tions in motors were resumed on an en- larged scale today, publica ton of addi- tiona1 orders connected with the huge merger of several prominent companies contributing measurably to further sub stantial gains and new maximums, Among the high records scored during the session, some of which were largely if not wholly surrendered before the close, were Willys Overland, which rose ]5 points to 325, with 534 to IF for the preferred; Chandler motors Il to 131, General motors lio to 55o and Lee rub Der 21s to 56l5,
 Sugars were again benefited by a steady inquiry, with new high quota tions for American beet sugar on its gain of 41s to s44 to 231 but Cuban-Amer- ican sugar moved contrarily, declining 1 to 230
 After the spurt in these mercurial to copper and. zinc issues, Mexicans and fertilizers, finally embracing the old war favorites. Gains in these varied stocks ranged from to points, shading ir- regularity later.
 Rails were doubtless checked by the character of the general trading, but in E the afternoon a strong undertone was manifested for time, with Norfolk and ; Western achieving a new maximum of 13J. There were temporary gains of l to points in Canadian Pacific, Pan Handle,' Chesapeake and Ohio, South ern Railway peferred and Seaboard Air Line, but fresh selling of Reading soon effaced these advances and was respon- sible for the irregular trend at the close. Total sales of stocks amounted to 530, ,o0t shares.
 International issues including the war bonds of the entente allies, were decided ly firm on the later advances dealing with the recent naval enga gements. Sterling, francs and marks were slight ly lower in the absence of more than nominal dealings.

PRICES FLUCTUATE ON COTTON MARKET Closing Prices Were , to 6 Points Off From Best
 Under Realizing

New York, June 5.-The cotton mark ct was much less active today and fluctua- tions were comparatively narrow and ir- regular. October contracts sold be- tween 12.74c and 12S1c, closing at 12.76c, and the general list closed steady net 8 points higher to ? points lower. There was some scattering Iiquida tion at the start and the market opened at a de- cline of points to an advance of 6 points, with the tone improving during the progress of the call. This seemed tns result of Liverpool buying to undo straddles, and with offerings compara- lively small prices worked about to S points net higher during the middle Of the morning. After the close of the Eng fish market the Liverpool buying be- came less active, and prices turned somewhat easier under some scattered Wall street and local selling On a, set back to within 1 point or two of Satur- days closing figures however, there was a renewal of demand of houses with Liverpool connections as well as scat tered covering and the market steadied up again in the afternoon. July sold as high as 12.SSc after having touched l2.59c o@ tHe openis.S, WHiie DecemDer ad- vanced from 12.91c to 12.9Sc, and Janu- ary from 13c to lS.06c. Closing prices were or points off from the best under realizing with the late months relatively easy.
 Private cables reported a quiet mar ket in Liverpool with small offerings. The final figures on the acreage on last year by the department Of agriculture indicated an area of g, lG7 900 acres. com pared with the preliminary estimate of 3l GOO published last July and a lint yield per acre or 110.3 pounds Latest mall advices estimate at the Egyptian acreage for this year at 1,S0o,00 feddans, the largest on record.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. June 5.-tSpecial J. Between a demand from Liverpool for some 20 GOO bales on arbitrage account and the liquidation by small local bull traders because or more very favorable crop ad- vices from the south, the market closes to points higher. The better demand in Liverpool failed to eliminate specula tion here. as showers were reported in the cotton belt, where needed, and the rumors of an early peace in Europe have died out after the great battle of the past week. No one dares to sell cotton short in view of the recent sharp ad- vance, while the prospect of good crop advices for sometime to come deprves the market of an active support from specula tors.

Avery's Letter

The cotton market is in position where the contending influences for and against the price are nearly even.
 On the one hand, the strength of the spot markets and the decidedly bullish statistical position, are the sustaining fac tors.
 The market started to decline because of the advent of good weather and continued to decline because of it's continuance. A s25o per bale decline should discount much that is favorable.
 At least regard the market as being in debatable ground. to st the least, and after all. until new cotton moves, the supply and demand for the old will continue to fix the price both for the actual and serve to prevent any drastic declines In futures. IC. F. AVERY.
