Tor raw sugar was quiet and there was no business reported. Offerings, how ever, were not being pressed and the market showed pretty steady under tone. although the demand was light with buyers generally inclined to hold off and await developments It was re- ported that exporters had purchased about 3o,OG0 bags in Cuba for June loading at 4.SOc f. 0. b. there. The market closed steady al 54c for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 6.25c for centrifugal and 5.3Oc for molasses.
 The market for sugar futures was steadier and closing prices were 8 to T points net higher. Sales were $500 tons, including some switches from May to later deliveries. With so many conflict ing rumors in circulation regarding the political situation and with the talk of the government fixing prices of food stuffs, most operators were inclined to even up for over Sunday and the ad- vance today was chiefly the result of cov- ering. May closed at 5.34c July sold from 5.47c to 5.50c, closing 5.49c; Septem- Der. 5.54c to 5.56c, closing 555c; December, 515c closing 5.18c

Cotton Goods Market

New York, May 5.--The government is a steady buyer of several kinds of cotton goods, principally duck, drills, and wide goods. The point is being reached where 8 diversion of looms is beginning to be felt in the general trade, some spot goods being already scarce and jobbers not find- ing it easy to pick up many of the staples used in their trade. Branded bleached cottons are firmer and higher, prices now being beyond the high 1907 level Brown sheetings are very firm, especially the heavier grades. Four-yard goods are particularly scarce. Colored goods con- tinue very firm, the heavier qualities be- coming steadily scarcer. There is broad demand for khaki uniform cloth from the civilian trade and the pressure on dye and finishing works is becoming greater every week. Wash goods are generally quiet, unreasonable weather assisting in marketing, the quiet result ing from more economical buying at the counters more marked. Prints and ging- hams rule very steady. Patriotic novel, ties of all kinds, especially cotton flags and tri-color decora tions, are in good demand Jobbers and retailers are com blaming of quieter markets for general consumption. Prices quoted are as fol- lows:
 Print cloths. 2s-inch, 64x64s. s,4c; 64x sos, 6c; 3S1a-inch 64x64s, Sc; brown sheet ings southern standards, 12A and 13c 'denims. 2.2os indigo. 211sc; tickings, ss- ounce, 25c; prints, 91ac;' staple ginghams, 101ac; dress ginghams, 15c.

FURTHER DECLINES
 IN COTTON MARKET
Early Advance Was Lost and General List Closed
 Barely Steady

New York May 5.-An early advance in the cotton market was followed by de- clines, with July selling off from i975c to 19.4sc, and closing at 195oe The gen. eraI list closed barely steady at a net loss of il to IS points
 Reports of unsea sonably low tempera- lures in the belt served to stimulate cov- ering for over the weekend, and after opening steady at an advance of 2 to s points the market sold about 10 to II points net higher on the more active months. This advance carried October contracts up to 1S.95c, with the general list selling some 25 to g points above the low level of yesterday and prices then turned easier under realizing Except for the temperatures, weather conditions in the south were considered generally favorable and after the first furry of covering had subsided, there appeared to be very little support around the ring Wall street and southern selling was reported on the decline which carried October off to 1s.71c or about 24 points from the high level of the morning. Closing prices were within point or two of the lowest. Foreign political ad vices seemed to be more confusing than otherwise, while the trade evidently found little inspiration in the news from the goods market or in the ocean freight sit uation. War risk insurance was reported firm with slight advances in some di- rections, rates to Liverpool now averag- ing around 9 per cent Reports from eastern belt spot people said there was less urgent demand for prompt ship ment cotton, but that holders were still determined. Fall River sales for the week were estimated at 1So, 900 pieces, compared with 200,O ,O00 for the same week last year.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 5.-After showing firmness around the opening today and an advance of F to B points on cold weather in the belt, the cotton market fell off, acquiring a very soft tone on the decline late in the session prices were 16 to 1T points below the level of yester- days close Last prices were at the low est. It was a day of small business and trading appeared restricted by fear of impending legislation In Congress affect ing exchanges.
 Before the opening, reports were re- ceived from various points in the belt telling of temperatures too low for the good of young cotton plants. The weather map confirmed private accounts of un- favorable weather and the forecast in- dicated more cold to come. Fear that the new work would open on reports of ex- tensive crop damage, caused buying which put prices up easily but the de- mand was soon filled and early buyers who wanted profits found no one to ab- sorb their offerings. Late in the day the market appeared to be falling under it's own weight.
 Political news played no part in to- days market Bear traders made much of dry goods accounts which gave the impression that the retail demand was not as good as it has been.

HEAVY PRESSURE
 ON RAIL STOCKS
Shares Again in Free Supply at Substantial Conces-.
 sions Feature of Market

New York, May 5-Weakness of rail- road shares which are again in free sup ply at substantial concessions. featured today's highly professional market, some of those issues recording minimum quota tions for many years. There was no'news to account for the unceasng pressure upon these stocks, which included many of the minor western and southwestern group.
 Industrials were at first inclined to make up part of their recent losses but the lack of support in rails proved too strong to overcome, the list closing with a heavy tone, except in metals and few of the speculative specaltes.
 The relative strength of coppers was in response to trade reports of large ad- ditional sales of the refined product for home consumption at satisfactory prices Industrial Alcohol also offered stubborn opposition to the short interest with American Can.
 Some of the high priced specialties fell away with rails, notably American snuff Montana Power, Ohio Gas and Texas company. United States Steel withstood bearish activity, closing at trifiing net loss. Bethlehem Steel, new stock, was active but forfeited more than it's early l point gain.
 Predictions regarding an adverse bank statement were fulfilled only in part, the actual cash loss of slightly more than $4000G00O being less than half that esti- mated in conservative quarters The heavy transfers of money during the week to the local federal reserve bank were reflected In an increase of almost 600 in federal reserves. Loans con- tracted more than $s30O0,0o0, but the greatest change was shown in demaud deposits which decreased by more than s113,0o0000.
 A further decrease of about $21, ,000000 In actual excess reserves leaves thatitem at a little more than $900o0, ,0O0 smallest total thus far this year. Of the $412,- 00o,00o actual reserves held by the banks in their own vaults almost $372, 900, GOO is in specie.
 Bonds were weak on restricted offer ings. Total sales, par value. aggregated s2,1eoo0o.

FEAR ] GENERAL ELECTION
 DURING WAR CRISIS

The Hague. Netherlands. April 1.--tcor- respondence of the Associated Press) Two general elections are dte this year,
 but because of her dangerous position in
 the vicinity of the arena of war. Holland
 wants to avoid holding either. Statesmen
 and politicians believe they have solved
 the problem how to avoid exposing the
 nation to the perils of a political battle
 at this critical time.
 The four years life of the present Par
 liament automatically comes to an end
 next June. That would bring the first
 election. The second election would re- suit from the devision of the constitution
 that long has been occupying the Dutch Parliament. and which has now only fo pass the first chamber to complete the first stage of it's legislative voyage. The constitution of the country demands that. after such a revision has passed it's first reading, the two chambers shall be dis solved and a fresh election held, thus giv-
 ing electors an opportunity of expressing | their opinion on the proposed changes. Should the Parliament then elected again pass the revision and it be pro claimed law, third general election
 must take place in 1918 under the new constitution and the new system of pro portional representation and universal manhood suffrage.
 The politicians propose to eliminate the first of this years elections by having Parliament dissolved on the first reading
 of the constitutional revision and just be- fore It's four years existence would lapse
 thus making the two elections coincide There still remains one election to be held in 1917. To make this formal af- fair and insure the return of the present
 Parliament, the political leaders have agreed that each party shall retain Ats
 present seats unopposed. This decision is based on the ground that the pending
 revision of the constitution is approved by virtually the whole states general
 This plan has been indorsed by ths party caucuses. on the understanding
 that no legislation involving political
 months existence of the Parliament thus constituted
 Assuming that this plan duly material izes in June net and that the reelected chambers then pass the revised constftu- | ton in secsnd reading and it becomes law. the first real appeal to the country will take place in 1918 and that for the first time on the basis of universal man hood suffrage and proportional represer- tation What extraordinary changes in
 the political groupings such election may bring about no one attempts to foreteli but presumably it will in any cage strengthen the radical parties Tn the
 meantime Premier P. W. A. Cort van der Linden's parliamentary but liberal
 ministry Is expected to remain in power for the main current of public opinion still seems to favor the maintenance Of
 the cabinet that has firmly maintained the country's neutrality and kept it out of the war.
