GOVERNMENT SETS PRICE OF
s7.75 PER CWT. ON PINTO BEANS

An arbitrary price of $7.75 per cwt
has been fixed by Uncle Sam on what
Pinto Beans he will use for the Army
and Navy.
This information was given out
by the Rocky Mountain Bean Jobbers
Association in Denver last week and
created CONSERVATION in the ranks of
the spectators, who had run the price
up to 10 cents per pound with the idea
that the Government would take them
over at profit, no matter how high
they had bought them.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. April 20.-Cotton was un- der heavy selling pressure today and after a rise Of to 10 points on the opening call, prices fell off until late in the day they were Y to 54 points under the final quotations of yesterday. Toward the end of the session early sell CTS took their profits and caused a mi- nor reaction. The close was net loss of 2S to B points.
 Selling orders appeared about equally divided between short and long account
 The rise on the opening was due to better cables than expected. but imme- diately after the first call the market felt the effect of a selling wave stim- ulated by rains in Texas. When pres sure from this selling seemed to be about over offerings were increased on the re- port, quickly denied, that southern banks were calling loans against cotton In the afternoon the market reached it's weak est period following dispatches from Washington stating the department of agriculture had recommended to Congress the advisablity of fixing minimum and maximum prices on grain. Fear that such regulations would extend to cotton caused the heaviest selling of the day.

Dun's Review

New York, April 2O.-Dun's review tomorrow will say:
 A widening field of business Is in- fuenced by war conditions, and ordi- nary requirements In many instances are subordinated to the pressing ne- cessities of the government. Indus- tries and trades which had experi- enced a lull from the previous note- worthy activity now respond to ex- tensive federal buying. and overtime work Is enforced to accelerate the pro- duction and distribution of various supplies intended for military uses. From many quarters complaints of scarcity of raw materials and of labor become more insistent and outputs are maintained with increasing difficulty, while the transportation problem still occasions concern in not a few direc- tions.
 Requests for hasty shipments on reg ular contracts suggest apprehension of deranged deliveries to follow, and urgent demands at rising prices are in some cases impelled by fears thaat fu- ture needs may not be satisfied. Yet in some brances in about all sections there is maifest a dispotion to pro- ceed cautiously in making new com mitments and efforts to promote wide spread economy among consumers are beginning to be ref1ectNd in more care full purchasing in retail circles.

SHARP BREAK IN
 COTTON MARKET
Report of Rains in South west and Freer Spot Of
 ferings the Cause

New York, April 20.-There was another very sharp break in the cotton market here today, owing to reports of good rains In the southwest and talk of freer spot offerings. July contracts sold off to 1S9Sc or 45 points under last nights close, and more than 21sc per pound under the high level of April g. That delivery closed at 19.13c with the general list closing steady at net decline of 2S to 32 points. The market opened steady at an advance of to points in response to relatively firm cables, but very quickly weakened under a renewal of general liquidation and local pressure. Rumors that in some cases. banking interests were advising holders of spot cotton to sell around the present level of prices lacked con firmation but were probably a factor on the decline. Selling was also stimulated by the detailed weather report for the Houston district, showing good rains in the drouthy sections of Texas Covering caused slight rallies from time to time during the middle of the day, but each bulge seemed to meet increased offer ings of long contracts or pressure from other sources and the market became very weak and unsettled during the aft ernoon Selling here by houses with Liverpool connections was supposed to reflect spot offerings from this side, and there was also talk of selling by Texas spot people around the ring. Stop loss orders were uncovered on a scale down, with May breaking to 19, 40c and October to II. .S5c or about 40 to 40 points from last nights closing. The market then stead jed on covering and there were rallies of several points in the late trading on reports from various southern points to the effect that spot holders were not fol- lowing the decline in futures Prospects for showers east of the river were con- sidered favorable following several days of dry weather. Private cables attributed the steadiness of Liverpool to covering against cotton sunk at sea.

(Receiyed Over w. E. CampbeIl's Private
 Wire).
 New Orleans, April 20.-Bearish senti- ment was fostered today in the cotton market by the continued rains in Texas, which many traders appeared to &C., cept as marking a permanent change in new crop conditions. Heavy selling re- suited and a good portion of the offer ings was in the shape of short contracts. The very good Liverpool had it's eff feet only on the opening call; imme- diately after the initial rise was re- placed by a decline.
 Texas has received very beneficial rains, well distributed over the state and it is considered by most people that the drouth has been relieved. We do not agree, however, with the idea that this is good basis for extended operations for fall in values at this time because the Texas drouth was not the only unfavor- able feature of the new crop outlook. There is still the question of acreage to consider, the planting of other crops on cotton lands and the shortage of labor. Again, the forecast is for rains in the eastern belt where more rainfall at this time would not be beneficial
 Prices are now down l cent a pound, compared with the levels ruling toward the end of last week. We think such decline discounts any and all bearish

Hnhhard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, April 20.--Cables were bet ter than expected this morning but our market did not fully respond as more liquidation appeared. One large house which has been bullish for q long time was reported to have been a heavy seller all day The improvement in the weather, especially In the southwest, is beginning to have it's effect. Good rains fell over sections of Texas where needed and as a consequence Texas holders are of- ferng cotton on a much cheaper basis. The buying appeared to be principally calling of cotton by American mills against hedges which have been out for sometime After the market reached 177sc for October a better demand ap- peared with local traders covering caus- ing a rally of some 15 to 20 points. The market continues to be largely a mat ter of weather conditions and so long as the weather is good there is not much inducement to make fresh purchases ex- cepting mills calling against old com mitments.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, April 20-Giant fluctuations of nearly 15c a bushel left values today 1c to 55sc net lower after announcement from Washington that the Secretary of Agriculture had asked Congress to au- thorize the national council of defense to fix prices for food products during the period of war The close of the wheat market was decided unsettled with May at s2Se1a; July, $2@2. .O014, and September $l771a@1.7S. Corn finished 1s@1c off, oats down &Q14ac and provisions 22@70c.
 Prices began to shoot skyward in wheat before trading had been in progress a quarter of an hour Advocates of con- servatism in the market operations seemed at first to be in control, and in- itial values averaged easier to a notice- able extent In contrast with wild ad- 5 vances of the previous day. As soon, xhowever, as some of the early sellers at- )flempted to reverse their position and to i, collect profits by timely purchases the Ipit was found to be temporarily almost bare of offerings. A display of hysteria seldom equalled quickly followed As esArtions that there had been big acquisi- lions of the September delivery for the entente allies seemed to make that option especially sensitive to the scare among shorts, and there was no stopping of advance of the market until September rad scared to $1.89, a rise of nearly 13c above the lowest point on the preceding decline.
 The stampede to buy which was inten- sifed owing to reports of killing frosts and other unfavorable weather conditions in the southwest and west, carried July nd NToxr 9 A. gain of 7c. Many automatic stop loss orders were brought into operation by the suddenness of the bulge and con- tributed to a noticeable degree to the wildness of the market Gradually. though, rush to the bull side exhausted itself and an interval that bordered on 1ethargy was witnessed, in which, owing to lack of demand prices dropped back and all the gains completely disappeared.
 Waves of selling disturbed the wheat market anew when word came from Washington that the movement for gov ernment regulation of food prices had been given definite official indorsement by the Secretary of Agriculture. Breaks of 5%67Ac ensued, owing partly, however, to bearish constructions placed on the Kansas state corp report which put con- dition percentages higher than some au- thorities had expected. Bulish aspects of the report as to acreage abandonment tended, on the other hand, to cause nervous rally at the last.
 There was big commission house trade in corn, and the action of the market was largely governed by wheat. New high price records for corn as well for wheat were reached, but were not main- tained Oats proved relatively weaker than other cereals. Favorable weather and crop reports favored the bears.
 Provisions frightened when grains bulged in value. Declines formed the rule later. and in particular after the receipt of Washington advices concerning proposed -nvc-rnaent regulation.

FEAR OF WAR TAX
 CAUSES DECLINE Stocks Likely to Bear Heavy Burden Are Extensively
 Liquidated

New York, April 20.-Speculative stocks, notably those which are likely to bear the greater burden of the governments forthcoming policy of war taxation, were more extensively liquidated today at gross declines of to points. Fore most among these issue were the leading munition and equipments, oils. motors and tobaccos, with an admixture of kin dred specialties.
 Selling was largely of professional origin, but the severe shrinkage later forced investment offerings of high grade issues. The setback embraced fertilizers, papers and utilities, especially gas shares.
 Rails opened the session at gains of to ? points on the tentative rate order granted by the interstate commerce com- mission, but these advances were soon dissipated in whole or part. New Haven duplicated it's recent minimum of 39A. making partial recovery with other rails on belated short covering.
 The more noteworthy recessions of the day included Bethlehem Steel new stock which fell 67s points to 115s4 with for the old shares at 12S, Sloss-Sheffield ' points at A, New York Air Brake at 134, Gulf States Steel at 121, almost for Industrial Alcohol at r1o21a, AZ for Union Bag and Paper at 90, and for Ohio Gas at 13S.
 Reversals of to points were regis tered by Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies, General Motors. American Tobacco, Mex ican Petroleum, Texas Company, Column bia Gas, Sears Roebuck, United States Rubber, Mating Preferred, Distillers Se- curities, Wilson Packing and Wells- Fargo Express. Marines were heavy with other shippings most of the time, but rebounded briskly toward the close.
 United States Steel mdae an extreme loss of 1ss at 1101h, but was freely taken on the decline and rallied almost point Final prices in most instances were 1 to points above lowest quota tions.
 The only feature of the irregular bond market was 3-point rise in New York Central refunding 41ks. Total sales Of bonds, par value, aggregated $2,S50,0OO.
 United States bonds were again er- ratic registered 2s losing 4 per cent and registered 3s H per cent.

Avery's Letter

 This swayback cotton market we have been having was under the influence of heavy selling by Livermore, the big New York pIunger. who cleaned up on Feb ruary l. The net result since last night was about 50 points decline from last nights close. The technical conditions of the market are much different now than they were in February. At that time there was a widely scattered long interest in the market and a large pub lie following and as such it was vui- nerable to attack. A lucky circumstance helped the bear element with their coup. Al the present time there is very small public interest in the market and my best judgment is that the decline has gone too far. Spots did not decline in proportion 10 futures and where they were marked off sales were very small. Clevenberg said this afternoon that Livermore was the heaviest seller and that there was a short interest The good rains in Texas had much to do witk the decline. In regard to the latter, a pris vate wire had it that a mortimer was fol- lowing these rains
