COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. May S.-The cotton mar
ket showed renewed activity and excite
ment at the opening today large
number of buying orders seemed to have
accumulated since the big advance of
Saturday, and the market opened firm at
an advance of 3 to II points. with July
selling up to 12S5. October to 1902 and
December to 1920. or about 10 to l3
points above Saturdays closing figures.
This advance attracted heavy realizing,
and there seemed 10 be some reactionary
sentiment based on the rapidity of the
recent upward movement. the favorable
weather reported in the south over Sun
day and the heavy opening of the stock
market.
Offerings were well taken by the broad
ening outside demand and continued
buying from trade sources. but prices
eased off to : points from the best dur
ing the early trading.
Futures opened firm: May offered. -. q:
July 12.s0: October. 1897: December,
1926; January, 1923.
The reaction from the early high
point carried prices back late in the
morning to approximately the closing
figures of Saturday. July contracts
sold down from 1885 to 1915 and Oc-
tober from 1902 to 1872. Trade inter
ests were good buyers of July on
scale down. while there was a broaden
ing commission house and Wall street
demand for later months. and the mar
ket showed rallies of 4 or ) points
from the lowest early in the noon hour

WHEAT VALUES ADVANCE
ON SOUTHWEST ADVICES
Federal Crop Estimate Today Also
Expected to Be Adverse
to Bears.

CHICAGO. May s.-Wheat values took
a decided upward swing today. in
fuenced by the bullish nature of the
Missouri state crop report and by dry
weather complaints from the south
west. According to the Missouri re-
port, the crop condition had been low
cred as compared wr>a a month ago,
and was much under last years per-
centage. Belief appeared to be general
that the government crop report to be
issued after the close of today's trad
ing would also prove heavily adverse
to the bears.
Opening prices, which ranged from "a
off to y up, with May at lis to 1.15b
and July at 116h to 1.16k, were fol-
lowed by material gains all around.

SETS FORTH REASONS
FOR NAMING BRANDE|S
President Pays High Tribute to Law
yer in Letter Urging His
Confirmation.

President Wilson'S letter giving MS
reasons for nominating Louis d. Bran
deis for the Supreme Court and urging
confirmation was read to the Senate
judiciary committee today by Char
man Culberson. but no vote was taken,
as had been expected, and no time was
fixed for one.
President Wilson characterized the
charges against his nominee as IN
trinsically incredible to any one VINO
really knows Mr.. Brandeis, and de-
clared they proceeded for the most
part from those who hated Mr.. Bran
des because he had refused to be
serviceable to them in promotion OF
their own selfish interests. and from
those whom they had prejudiced and
misled' The President added that the
propaganda in this matter has beeh
very extraordinary and very distressing
to those who love fairness and value
the dignity of the great professions.

of yield of 1871 bushels an acre, com :
pared with 1862 bushels harvested last
year and 1910 bushels in 1914.
The large reduction in acreage soWn
last fall was attributed partly to un-
favorable weather for seeding. tangled
condition of much corn land which
otherwise would have been sown to
wheat. some fear of the Hessian fly
and to large supplies of wheat on hand.
a wet. cold fall causing poor seed
beds and poor start for winterng. re-
suited in low condition this spring.
Much of the crop was sown late, and
the Hessian fly was reported present
and active in many sections of the
southern part of the winter wheat belt.
Climatic conditions were harder on late
sown. the winter covering was lighter
than usual. and the injury from freez-
ing and thawing greater than in previ-
Gus years.
