SHARP BREAK IN
 PRICE OF COTTON
Uneasiness in Russian Situ- atiOn and Weather Re
 ports Cause Decline

New York, May 15.-Favorable weather advices and uneasiness over the Russian situation caused a sharp break in the cotton market here today with July con- tracts selling off to 19.52c, or 51 points from the high level of yesterday. Other months showed similar losses, but prices rallied in the late trading with July closing at 19.57c and with the general list closing steady at net loss of only 9 to 14 points. The market opened steady at a decline of 1 point to an advance of points with trading comparatively quiet Offerings increased right after the call however with western and Wall street interests among the sellers, while there also seemed to be scattering pressure from southern sources. The forecasts for continued clear and generally warmer weather promoted the selling movement and stop loss orders were uncovered on the break, which carried October con- tracts back to the 19c level, and the gen. era1 list about 26 to 8 points under last nights closing figures. Offerings then became less active and the market was steadier late in the afternoon on reports of an easier tone on marine war risks and rumors of 8 more successful cam- paign against submarines. Closing prices showed rallies of some 15 to g points from the lowest. The detailed reports of the weather bureau showed generally clear weather in the south with rising temperatures, although the minimum tenn peratures reported for the past 24 hours averaged below seasonable level. This may have helped check selling after the early decline as there seemed to be some uncertainty whether the weekly re- port of the weather bureau tomorrow would emphasize the cold weather of the earlier week or the more favorable con- ditions of the past day two. Private crop accounts reaching here during the day were conflicting. and the showing of the government report on June 1, is expected to depend largely upon the weather between now and May 25. Fall River advices estimated the govern ments purchase prices of cotton cloths at about 94.000OO0 yards, with firmer ruling of prices.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 15.-What the pull element characterized as natural reac- ton from the recent strong advance car- ried the price of cotton $150 bale down in the early trading on this market today. Unfavorable Russian news and prospects of warmer weather over the cotton re- zion stimulated selling. Late in the ses- sion expecta tions of unfavorable weekly crop weather accounts from the govern ment tomorrow caused fairly strong recovery and last prices showed a net decline of IS to 20 points.
 At the opening, Liverpool was not up to expectations and the ring was filled with selling orders much of which ap- peared to come from recent buyers. It was floor gossip that western interests, conspicuous among the buyers of the last few sessions, were Tightening their load. The forecast of warmer weather and the prediction by the weather bureau that the period of unseasonably cool weather was over led to increased selling which, to- ward noon, put prices to their lowest levels. a net decline of 31 to 32 points.
 Around the middle of the day the selling wave appeared to have spent itself and the tone was steadier in the afternoon A moderate demand sprang up and it was filled with difficulty. The market closed steady.

Shepard & Gluck's Letter

Received over W. E. Campbers pri-
 vate wire)
 New Orleans, May 15.-(Special)--A natural reaction from the advance fea- tured the trading in cotton today, being precipitated by the serious Russian sit uation and prospects of warmer weather over the belt.
 Recent buyers did considerable lioui- dating and there was an entire absence of any of the aggressive buying which has been so much in evidence of late.
 It should be noted that while the fore cast promised slightly warmer temper atures. the weather map itself could not be called favorable because of it's unsea- sonable low temperatures hich obvi- ously have continued the damage so gen. eraliy complained of over the belt
 The official statement from the weather bureau was that the temperatures were 10 to 15 degrees below the normal. indi- eating less favorable temperatures than were reported over sunday Corinth, Miss, noted a minimum temperature or $ degrees, which was ~oompanied by heavy frost. Young cotton must suffer under such conditions.
 Tomorrow's weekly weather and crop accounts from the government can hardly fail to reflect the cold weather Of the last week and we see danger in trying to follow the reaction Any further easiness would furnish good oo- portunities for fresh pl.rcha ses.

dwindling stocks here and abroad, etc, are lost sight of in the political influ- ences of the moment. In short, the in- vestment public and speculative public are milling around like lot of stam- peded steers. It looks like some one Is needed to teach them their economic A B Cs.
 In 1914, when the war broke out. I wrote and mailed broadcast a circular letter begging people to buy cotton when 1t was cents pound, and all the re- sponse I could get was that it would 20 to s. Reduced purchasing power was the stock argument. It is about the same now. Because it Is proposed to place A tax upon the people to provide repay ment of a loan every dollar of which will be spent to stimulate industry, ev- erybody crawls into their holes and pulls them in after them.
 Business is not going to rot, it is going to continue and be better than before and those who are best posted and who can see further than their nose are buy ing seasoned dividend paying securities which are on the bargain counter and in- vesting in cotton and other commodities which cannot be replaced except at d cost 100 per cent greater than they were produced last year.
 In 1914 the war was going to break everyone. Did it do it? Has labor ever been more fully employed and at bet ter wage?
 Have products of the mine and soil ever brought better prices? Are not the coal and iron mines kindred industries running at capacity and their products sold far ahead? Lumber turpentine, cotton mills, yarn mills, hosiery mills and machine shops are making more money than they have for a decade. So there seems to be no excuse for this hysteria. The war is not going to last forever. The extraordinary tax which you are called upon to pay should be paid cheerfully and as your duty for the privilege of living under free insti- tutions. The tax is to prepare your country to resist not only now, but any future encroachments upon these iber- ties. You insure yourself for your wife and children. Consider this tax, then, in the light of. an insurance that they may enjoy undisturbed these institu- tions.
 Buy everything on the breaks.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, May 15.-Heavy shrinlxage In
 the value of wheat at one time as much ss l9c a bushel. took place today owing to the prospect which at last became fixed fact that established limits on high prices
 would continue indefinitely and that all
 buying of wheat futures was at an end.
 The market closed unsettled, 7017c net lower. with July 2.42 and September $2.N
 G2.2. Other leading staples, too, showed a decided setback corn, 2s@s%c; oats, 2%d31lc, and provisions, 7q25c.
 Downward slides in quotations on
 wheat met with even less resistance than
 on the previous day when the ban on new buying apparently was temporary
 Bearish effects of the restraints on pur-
 chasers were supplemented later by in-
 creased pressure from holders of July
 and September options who took note of reports that millers were only buying cash wheat when they could sell flour against it as a financial counterbalance.
 Definite announcement just before the
 close that the conference here of repre- sentatives of the leading grain exchanges had decided to prolong beyond any set bounds the suppression of unrestric- ed trading was followed by the greatest weakness shown in wheat prices since the start of the collapse yesterday morn ing.
 General apathy which characterized the wheat pit spread today over the entire exchange floor. Business in corn, oats and provisions was by far the smallest since the outbreak of the war. No de- csfon as to maximum prices for other commodities than wheat had been reached by the conference Up to the time the market closed. Accordingly the tone of feed grains and also of pork, lard and ribs was one of almost unrelieved depres- sion
