NOSTRENGTHS SHOWN ON COTTON MARKET
Favorable Weather COndi- tiOns Over Cotton Belt
 Prompted Selling

New Orleans, May 31.--Selling out by longs in July was the outstanding feature of the cotton market here to- day and the liquidation sent prices 1 point to II points under yesterdays closing level. No strength was shown at any time, although there were fit ful periods of steadiness. The close was at a net loss of g to 10 points.
 On the opening July lost points, while the other trading months were steadier and showed no losses. After the call the most active months rose to points over yesterdays closing level. From the middle of the morning g on there was much pressure from liqui- dating longs and values fell off.
 Weather conditions over the belt were considered favorable and the fore cast of fair weather prompted selling of the new crops. The liquidation was prompted chiefly by the forthcoming 2 bureau report on condition tomorrow the trade expecting the report to show a condition of about so per cent of the normal.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 31-Foreign advices this morning state that the improve ment in Liverpool was due to some what better spot demand, together with considerable calling of cotton which had been sold sometime past Our market failed to respond to this improvement as there was some liqui- dation of the July position on the opening. Detailed weather reports show that the weather in the south Is al most perfect, and as the peace propa- ganda is gradually dying out, due to the lack of any definite indications on the part of the bellgerents that they will make peace, traders are becoming rather skeptical as to an improvement in values for the>time being at least. In short we find those who were en- Enthusiastically bullsh becoming mora conservative in their opinions and rather expecting a possible reaction from these prices. The government will issue it's first condition report at Il a. m., New York time, which is eX- pected to be around so.

WEATHER REPORTS
 SEND PRICES DOWN
Cotton Market Unsteady and at a Net Decline of 9
 to IA Points

New York, May S1.-Favorable weather and crop advices caused some further liquidation in the cotton market here to- day and prices worked lower with Oc- tober contracts selling down from 12.93 to 12.s0c, and closing at 12,S1c. The gen cral list closed steady at a net decline of IS points on June and of to IA points on later deliveries.
 Liverpool made a relatively steady showing over the local holiday and prices
 here opened steady at an advance or 3 points to decline of point There was considerable buying by houses with Liver pool connections, and some further cov- erins to even up scattering short accounts over the government report tomorrow, The demand was very readily supplied,
 however as a result Of further scatter ing liquidation or local selling inspired
 by the relatively easy ruling of July and the favorable view of recent and immedi- ately prospective ather conditions. Po- litical advices seemed to contain no fresh feature to encourage peace rumors and this fact may have helped to restrict
 buying. At any rate prices soon eased
 off with active months selling about 9
 to Il points lower during the early after noon. Rallies of 4 or points followed on | tTduo DuylnS, WHICH sctIi1cu lo DGCOfHS & little more active around 12.S0c for October and covering of shorts, but the
 market eased off again later uncer con-
 tlnued liquidation and expects that the government report tomorrow will show a condition well up to the 10-year average. July sold off from 12.SSc to 1a,65c, or into new low ground for the movement while December declined from 19.0Sc to 12.94c, and January from 1314c to l3c. Closing prices were practically at the lowest point of the day. A New Orleans firm wired an average condition on May 20 of 79 per cent. This was considered about in line with private reports published here dur ing the past two or three days, and prob ably served to strengthen expectations of a government report in the neighborhood of 80 per cent comparing with the 79.S per cent, the 10-year average.
 Thea weekly report of the weather bu- reau will be published tomorrow at noon
 having been delayed by the holiday.

A|LWAY SHARES
 REACH HIGH PRICES Pools and Cliques Feature Operations on Exchange
 With Market Active

New York, May S1-The operation of pools and cliques in special stocks contributed very largely to today's obviously professional market. Except for Lehigh Valley and Reading, which were active and strong at times, the rail- way list manifested little of last week S animation, despite the issuance of nu- merous brilliant statements of earnings over the holiday Norfolk and Western, however, rose to the new high price of 125as, allowing for the reduction of it's regular and extra dividends of "A per cent. Other standard stocks were obscured by the promises of motors, rubbers, minor steel and iron issues, Mercantile Marine preferred and some of the munitions. New maximums were registered by two of the automobile group, Chandler motors rising N to 10Sh with Lee tire up 1s4 to 54A
 MeXicans, particularly oils, were dis posed to advance at the outset put lost considerable ground later on publica- tion of the tenor of the Carranza note' which created fears of renewed com plications International Harvester issues were perceptibly strengthened by the increased earnings disclosed in the annual statments of the domestic and foreign companies and copper and zlnc shares were under reduced pressure.
 The hollow character of the day trading was evidenced by the ease with which prices shaded in the final hour, Reading leading the decline and chang ing various early gains to moderate net losses. Total sales amounted to 355,000 shares.
 More gold from Canada for account of the Bank of England brought total imports of the metal on the present movement up to about $2S,5o0,O00 and tended to harden exchange rates to London and Paris. Marks and fires were practically unchanged.
 While the demand for finished iron and steel continues to show some abate- ment the judgment of trade authorl- ties is that high prices and full opera tions will continue for the balance or the year.
 The bond market was firm with marked strength in the war issues, Canadian 5s making a new igh quo tation at 1015s, New York city 4lss of 1865 also were in unsual demand. To- tai sales, par value, $4,185,O00.
 United States coupons 2s declined A per cent on call.

in the July option, eased cotton prices about 10 points net, There was no news of any market consequence and the sell ing was set down to those who wished to tighten their load over the bureau.
 The general opinion of the trade is that the report will be bearish Upon what this assumption is made. it is hard to determine, unless it be the unquestioned improvement in weather conditions for the past 10 days or more. The govern ment report, however, is only up to May 25, and the weather conditions previous to that time certainly were not bearish, but on the contrary were very bullish.
 It is my opinion, a condition between 79 and S1 per cent has been discounted, Furthermore, the market having been thoroughly liquidated, it is liable to go contrary to expectations, which are gem erally bearish. C. E. Avery.

LATE CROP REPORTS
 SINK WHEAT PRICES
Large Increase Shown in Worlds Supply Tends to
 DemOralize Trade

Chicago May S1.-Declines to the low est prices since last March took place in the wheat market today because of huge stocks in store and afloat and result of improved domestic crop reports.
 Closing quotations. however were un- settled, ranging from 214c down to shade advance, with July at s1.07@1. .075s and September at s109 Corn finished A @ssc to 24c up; oats unchanged to hc lower, and provisions irregular, vary ing from 15c decline to a rise of 2Oc.
 Weakness in wheat became acute after announcement that world stocks were the largest on record at this time of the year. In this connection, it was shown that the total available supply had increased in the last week 5SSs, GOO bushels, as against a decrease of 7S69,O0o bushels at the corresponding time last year. Heavy arrivals were reported at Liverpool and 1t was said the prospect there was for a continued enlargement of supplies. Betterment of the domestic crop outlook was chiefly in the south west. In particular, word came from Oklahoma that many fields which before the recent rains looked worthless were
 
 now likely to show a fair yield at har- vest.
 On the break considerable number of traders who had been conspicuous bears took suddenly to the buying side of the market. One of their spokesman ex- plained the market had been approa ching too near the dollar-a- -bushel level, and that apparently the fact was being ig- nored that the war was still on. Offer ingS were comparatively scarce as the session came to an end.
 In the corn crowd, belated May shorts found settlements difficult until a sub stantial premium was paid. Estimates of increased acreage in the leading states formed only temporary check on the upturn in values. Bearish crop reports weakened oats. Even in Okla homa, where severe damage has been the rule of late, benefits were said to be ap- parent as a result of rains
 Notwithstanding that at first on ac- count of liquidation sales provisions un- derwent sharp losses, the market after ward rallied. It was asserted that in the latter trading packers were active buy

 Market Turns Upward.

The fish famine in Birmingham was relieved yesterday by the arrival of car of red snapper. The shipment had hardly landed on Norris avenue until orders had been received for the entire shipment. Fish has been very scarce for sometime, and at but few times in the last six months has there been a full supply on the markets. Ac- cording to information, men to man the fishing smacks cannot be obtained and there are scores of them idle along the coasts because of lack of hands The report is that all available sailors have been induced to ship with sea going trade ships as the wages of the war zone sailors have been materially raised
