NEW HIGH GROUND
 FOR COTTON PRICES
Realizing Checked Advance in Late Trading But
 Close Was Steady

New York, May 4.--After some early irregularity the cotton market became very active and firm today with prices making new high grounds for the movement July contracts sold up to |12.e2c, or S6 points above the best price touched on the advance of last Tuesday, and 24 points above last nights closing figures. Realizing checked the advance in the late trad ling but the final tone was steady at la net gain of from 20 to 23 points for the day.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 6 to 13 points in response to the relatively firm showing of Liver pool and private cables reporting that English spinners were becoming un- easy owing too ofears of an advance in ocean freight rates. There was a good deal of realizing. however, while prospects for fair and warmer weather in the belt led to scattered local pres- sure. Some selling may also have been inspired by reports that prominent southern statistical authority placed the increase in acreage at 10 per cent, or considerably larger than indicated Dy lne pTlVdle reports or last. WeSh. Liverpool was 8 buyer here, however,
 vvn11e there was a continued deman, from trade interests and after selling off from 12.56c to 12.49c for October, and from 12.47c to 12.39e for July, the market turned firmer. Buyers were en- |couraged by bullish southern spot ad vices and following the publication of dispatches from Amsterdam containing |peace rumors, the market became eX- trenely firm and active. Early sellers on the favorable weather news, cov- cred, while people who had taken prof its on long contracts earlier in the week wer said to be replacing, and there was a broadening outside demand as prices worked upward. May con tracts advanced from 12.29c to 12.52c, while October sold up to 12.74c and March worked above the 13c level, with the geenral list showing net gains of 24 to 27 points in the late trading. The buying movement then seemed to taper off somewhat and later fluctuations were irregular with the close showing reactions of to 5 points from the best.

Cotton Prices On Upward Trend Through German
 Peace Reports

New Orleans, May 4.-A bulge of a quarter of a cent per pound rise in the market today from the buying was stim- ulated by European peace rumors. Add ing to the strength were bullish ae- counts from the spot markets of the south. higher prices at many centers and large trading, considering the firm ness of spot holders
 Opening trades were at the advance because of higher Liverpool market than due but at the end of the first half hour of business the active months were only to points up. By the mid dle of the morning the market was flood ed with reports that Germany was feeling for peace through this country and gen eral buying resulted. Shorts covered and brokers handled large outside busi- ness. Prices were sent up for net gain of Is to 19 points by noon.

|BEAR|SH RUMORS DEPRESS PRICES
otOck Market In State Nerv-
 Ous Suspense Through Foreign Situation

~" York, May 4.-Virtuauy the same
 influences that have recently tended to
 '0r'ail trading and depress prices were
 O'eratiVe again today. The cumulative
 rerpieXities resulting from the situation
 ees"een Washington and Berlin kept
 @ii street in state of nervous sus-
 rVi'Se' This feeling was intensified by
 '''e circulation of circunstantial rumors,
 some of which obviously were of bearish
 ongin.
 Deailngs were light and narrow from the outset, the intermediate period being uull to the point of absolute apathy.
 Early prices were irregular, but mani
 leSteo underlying frmness, until heavy
 seAlng of mercantile marines served to
 ndermlne the entire list. The further lueellne of marines was naturally asso- Iclated with the dissatisfaction expressed at the proposed read.Nstment plan sub Illltted by the preferred stockholders and protective committee.
 Marine preferred made an extreme de- cine cine of 2A points to s5A or total of l2A from it's record price of the early week, and the common fell i7s to 23. The course of these stocks was in marked con trast to United Fruit, another shipping lissue, which rose Al to 1o17s on moderate put steady absorption. Reports of early developments favorable to fruit share- holders in connection with increased earnings gained currency.
 The Mexican group supplemented yes Iterday's advances, Mexican Petroleum rising S9s to 101ss, with more moderate 1gains for American Smelling and Greene |Cananea Copper. War shades and allied issues, as well as coppers, were 1 to Z points higher at times, but receded in ire final hour, when Union Pacific, United States Steel and other potential leaders were at their lowest, the market closing With weak undertone
 Narrow changes marked the days nom- inal dealings in foreign exchange, but these again favored the German market, marks advancing a fraction while francs las well as sterling were inclined to shade. The Bank of England reduced it's gold foldings by something over $1,00O,0OO, but the Bank of France made nominal gain on this item, incidentally increasing its discounted bills and advances. Bonds were irregular to heavy. Total sales, par value, s2,94O,O0O. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

SHARP SETBACK
 IN WHEAT VALUES
Adverse Reports About Germany Cause Owners
 of Wheat to Unload

Chicago. May 4.-Pessimistic forecasts of the reply of Berlin to Washington led to sharp setback today in the value of wheat, and so too. did reports that civilians were leaving Metz. The mar ket closed heavy, 2asGl3c net lower with May at s1.131s and July at $1.l4s051 1414 Corn lost Fs0s4c to 11sc, and oats 1s@Ac to iac. Tn provisions the outcome was an advance of 21sa5c to 17c. ,s
 Closing prices in the wheat market were at virtually the lowest point of the day. Sentiment had become increasingly bear ish almost from the outset, the only not able rally being brief one soon after the opening At first the pressure to sell appeared to result chiefly from better weather for seeding in the northwest and from attention to the fact that the worlds available supply totals had ex- ceeded all previous records. It was not, indeed, until after adverse reports about the German note began to circulate that owners of wheat undertook to unload in earnest. Subsequently, rumors of peace possibilities grew out of the advices re- garding Metz, and were the cause of ad- dItional selling.
 Assertions that reserves of wheat said to have been accumulated by the British government would not come into compe- titlon with commercial stocks did not have much effect in stopping the de- scent of wheat prices here. On the other hand the bulls were distinctly hand- capped to some extent by the Kansas state crop report which estimated the Kansas yield this season as 20,00O. coo bushels more than was harvested in 1915
 Corn turned weak with wheat The market was also bearishly affected by the excellent conditions for planting Ca nadian competitions tended to depress oats. Canadian oats were offered in New York 4c under Chicago standards.
 Higher prices on hogs gave the initial strength to provisions. Additional firm ness came about later owing to high rec orc quotations of grease and because of export clearances of 5,000,000 pounds of lard.

Sugar Market

New York, May 4.-There was no change in the local market for raw su- gar today, and while there were no defin- ite sales known, numerous rumors were in the market that Cuban sugar had been sold at last previous sale prices The rumors referred to included cargo of 10,000 bags for May shipment at 51sc cost and freight, and 10000 bags for June shipment at 55sc cost and freight. There were also some preferential sugars sold to a Canadian refiner. The market was firm, owing to the activity in refined. where it was said that exporters were again in the market, cables that oJ cen trals had finished grinding, with the out put 14 per cent below original estimates, which would indicate crop of 2,SOo0O0 tons also had an influence. Spot prices were quoted at 6.52c for centrifugal, 5.75c for rnolasses, and SEC for Cubas cost and freight

New York gave the market for refined sugar a firmer undertone and all refiners advanced list prices with fine granulated now quote on the basis Of 1.50c to 7.75c. There were moderate withdraw als on old contract, while new business was light the demand being checked to some extent by the advance.

 The pessimism of the stock market and this rumor Hgarding Emperor William can hardly be reconciled one with the other as it is hardly con ceivable that had the Emperor desired our good offices for peace he would send anything but favorable reply to our demands on the submarine ques- tion.
