COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, May 25.-The cotton
market lost good part of yesterdays
late advance at the opening today
Liverpool was relatively easy, while
political adviCes hardly encouraged the
more favorable view of peace pros
poets which had been partly responsible
for yesterdays rally. and the trade was
more disposed to sell on the favorable
showing of the weather map. First
prices We're barely steady at a decline
of 10 to 13 points, and after rallies of
4 points from the lowest the mar
ket again cased off under scattering
liquidation, New Orleans selling and
local pressure.
October contracts declined to 1888
and December to about 1900. or some
II to l3 points under last nights clos
ing figures. Private wires from New
Orleans said that spot demand was
slack kening and that the weather was
perfect. Liverpool cabled that the mar
ket felt the absence of outside support.
Futures opened barely steady July,
1884; October, 12.s5; December, 1900;
January. 1895; March. 1918
Rumors that reports to a prominent
dition of sos per cent and an increase
of 12.7 per cent in acreage probably
stimulated the selling movement later
In the morning. 1t was also reported
that eastern and central belt sections
were sending selling orders here and
that Texas interests had been sellers in
New Orleans on improving crop condi-
tons. support was lacking and the
market broke to 1913 for JULY and
l2.9l for December shortly after mid :
day, or about 20 to % points net lower

WHEAT ADVANCE YIELDS
ON LATER BEAR REPORTS
Lower Liverpool Quotations Tend
Also to- Handicap the Bull
Traders Today.

CHICAGO. May 25.-Although hot,
dry weather southwest led to higher
prices in the wheat market here today,
the advance failed to last. Predictions
of cooler temperatures and possible
showers. especially in Oklahoma. acted
as an Offset. Besides, lower quotations
from Liverpool tended to handicap the
bulls.
The opening, which ranged from V
to NAY higher. with July at 1.I0 to
11012, and September at LION to
Liz, was followed by moderate
further gains but then by reaction to
below yesterdays finish.
Large Receipts Weaken Corn.
Large receipts at Kansas City weak
ened corn. The warm weather was a
further bearsh influence. After OPEN
ing Il to l down, prices continued TO
sag.
Oats declined with other grain and as
a result of liberal arrivals here. De-
mand, however, was fair.
Lower prices on hogs carried down
provisions. The most decided weak
ness was in pork.
Reports that foreigners were buying
wheat led to a new upturn. Much re-
duced estimates were current regard
ing the yields of Kansas and Okla
homa. The close was unsettled at va
ts to 5s net advance.
Action toward an increase of public
storage room here resulted later in
sharp break in corn values The close
was nervous at 1ha2Is net decline.

WALL STREET MARKET
Slow; GENERALLY FIRM

NEW YORK, May 25.-Reading's
further descent from its recent high
record was the most interesting devel-
opment of today's irregular opening.
The stock was offered in lots of 1,10C
to $500 shares from 103a to 1929
against yesterdays final quotation OF
1O3h
There were large transactions also
in Mercantile Marine preferred and
United States Steel at substantial
gains, with further activity in the
motors. chiefly Chandler and Stude-
baker, while Continental Can was
strongest of the semi-war issues.
Declines in all instances were frac-
tional and Reading soon made more
than complete recovery.
Readings Erratic Movement.
The erratic movements in Reading,
which rallied to 105 Il, only TO fall back
two points. was typical of the general
trend during the first hour, prominent
war issues also manifesting irregular
tendencies.
Later, on a further demand for high
priced specialties. the active list recov-
cred in part or whole. Continental Can

Reading Jagged for time. but the
rise was resumed toward midday. Unit
ed States Steel leading with an ad-
vance of ~ to s611 on very extensive
dealings.
Marine preferred also was very
strong.
Trading Slows Down.
The erratic. fuctuating trend became
less marked during the early hours of
the afternoon. trading slowed down
materially and prices remained COM
paratively steady. The market was
devoid of any dominant news develop
ments. other than good earnings from
Northern Pacific and poor April show
ing by Lehigh Valley that sent that
stock back three-fourths of a point.
One minute trading would seem to
be turning to the rails and another to
industrials. The result of the apparent
uncertainty in the trend was to cur
tail business and make traders hold
off for definite action.
Canadian Pacific, Eries, Illinois Cen
trail. Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific,
st. Paul and Union Pacific held fairly
good fractional advances into the aft
ernoon action.
Reading Is Steadier.
After its fuctuation within "a point
range, Reading finally recovered to 104
where it was relatively steady in the
second hour of the afternoon.
Fractional gains usually covered by
one-half point were scored in Beet
Sugar. Car Foundry, Baldwin Locomo-
tive and American Can.
Steel common fuctuated between ssh
and s6k and held the better part of its
advance.

The federal reserve board has an
nounced a postponement from June Is

due to any uncertainties regarding the

tirely caused by the great amount of

will be needed to handle the millions OF

aiken by the New York clearing mouse
to change its methods after the 1ederal

The strike of trainmen has been
set for next Monday on all of the
railroads Throughout the country.
Our local agent on the C.. M. and
st. p. railway received orders W. d.
nesday to receive no %perishable
freight for shipment that could not
be delivered before Monday. With
the splendid business conditions
and prosperity of the country, the
strike will paralyze business if con-
tinued fer any length of time, and
prove a public calamity.
