New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 1-Peace rumors were the dominating influence in the cot 1 ton market here today and they put prices up strongly in the early afternoon, following a period of hesitation in the morning session. At the highest the most active months were 30 to 36 points over yesterdays last prices. The net change for the day was rise of IS to 27 points.
 The market opened at the advance and stood at rise of fl to 16 points in the early trading, taking it's strength from much better Liverpool than ex- pected. Moderately heavy selling met the improvement, offerings being stimulated by hope of favorable weekly weather and crop accounts from the government to- morrow. A reaction sent trading months |2 to points below yesterdays close
 Around the middle of the day the con- tract ring became very quiet but sudden activity resulted, following the report that new peace proposals were expected from Germany and prices strengthened decidedly. Shorts covered in some confu- sion, finding little for sale. The market held It's good tone until the close

Avery's Letter


 Peace and unseasonably cold weather were the bull cards today. NIaximilan Hardens plain talk to Germany may prove an eyeopener to the hypnotized.
 The only tangible news justifying the peace talk was that the Swiss minis- ter. who has charge of German affairs, was to see the President today and fol- lowing this was a statement that the German chancellor was to make moro peace talk on Thursday. The market advances every time peace talk looms up and it should be significant of what cotton might do if peace should really come.
 The market closed within few points of the top. with a very steady tone.
 Spot markets advanced in Texas, where the spot markets usually move up and down in close touch with futures. Most other points were unchanged; sales were good at the advances indicating the de- mand has not yet been satisfied.
 Peace talk is a rather hazy thing to base purchases on. I would prefer to watch the spot demand as a principal and more substantial reason. If the spot demand is good and peace comes along and helps put prices up all well and good, but to rely on peace alone is not sensible. Avoid the bulges and keep a little long cotton all the time. C. F. AVERY.

Royal Marriages and Democracy

Niidi ilOIl IodtCS Oticy VI, III lLSSlcsS
 An interesting by-product. of the Rus- sian revolution is the severe criticism of the British traditions of royal mar riage appearing in London newspapers A revival is urged of the ancient cus- tom of kings choosing mates for them- selves or for their heirs among the daughters of their own nobility. The Lon don Evening Star argues against the absurd idea of separate royal caste, ? and asks. Does any sane man imagine that British democracy must lag behind Russian or American democracy? There is no British blood in our royals family. Parliament ought to bar all foreign mar riages and lock the door against matri- monial permeation. There is no feature of monarchial custom that will escape the impress of the democratic spirit which sweeps all continents and all shores as a mighty tidal wave. Although England Is constitutional monarchy in which the people are guaranteed a large measure of rights, the caste system is one of the features of English life the war has already profoundly affected Of ficers of the army are no longer drawn solely from the upper classes, and Tommy Atkins at the front has new spirit of independence. The English people are particularly interested in the de- mocratzation of royal marriages as the Prince of Wales will be expected to marry after the war is over.

Shepard & Gluck,s Letter

(Received Over w. E. Campbell Private
 Wire)
 New Orleans, May 1.-Following all Initial bulge today, on good cables, cot ton fell off under a continuation of yes- terdays selling movement and a lack of outside business
 Bearish traders appeared to be satis- fled with weather conditions, but the bull ish element thought temperatures were altogether too low in the western belt while the forecast predicted cooler wealth CT in the eastern belt.
 Some of the selling was based on ex- pectations of favorable weekly weather reports and crop accounts from the gov ernment tomorrow, but no very aggres- sive operations in this direction were possible because of the uncertainty over the acreage.
 Spots continue to lead contracts and herein lies the strength of the situation. Every now and then the spot inquj1y appears to die down, but it is evident that buyers constantly keep a close watch on the rmaket and allow no cheap cotton to go begging.
 Setbacks are natural, especially with prices at these levels, but nothing has yet developed to offset the scarcity of cotton. Under existing conditions breaks should invite purchases.

STEADY ADVANCE
 OF COTTON PRICES
Rumors of German Move. ment for Peace Cause
 Active Demand

New York. May 1-An carly decline was followed by a sharp advance in the cotton market yesterday, with July con tracts selling up from 1s.S5c to 2O.Osc. and closing at 2o,l9c. The general list closed steady at net advance of 14 to 32 points.
 The market opened at an advance Of to z points in response to relatively firm cables, but quickly eased off un- der renewal of scattering liquidation promoted by the favorable view Of weather conditions Minimum tempera- lures were rather too low in some parts of the belt, but otherwise the situation was considered favorable for the new crop, and there was southern selling here of both old and new crop deliveries. July was again relatively weak and there was selling of that position by southern spot people supposedly as a hedge against old crop supplies. Around 19.85c for July or about 15 points under last nights close and 1920 for October or a point under yesterdays final quotations, the market came more active following rumors that Germany was about to start another movement for peace, and there also seemed to be replacing by sold-out longs on the advance during the afternoon October sold up to 19.57c or 36 points net higher with the more active months gen erally showing net advances of 26 to 36 points. The close was a few points ofr from the best under realizing. A private report issued during the morning ind1- cated a decrease of 27 per cent in acre. age and said that outlook was the poor est for several seasons at this time of the year. Another report indicated a slight increase in the acreage of Texas and Oklahoma, but noted that the season was from 10 to 20 days late.
 Private cables attributed an advance in Liverpool trade calling and an improved spot demand. No change was reported in marine war risks or ocean freight rates

 stantial Gains

New York, May 1.-Stocks gave every Indication during todays early period oi augmenting yesterdays irregular rise but the advancing movement was halted be- lore midday on reports from Washington suggesting limitations on railway divi- oends during the continuance of the war.
 Additional poor railway earnings for March submittod by leading transpor- tation systems, apprehension over the foreign situation in it's economic aspects and an unexpected rise in call money to per cent duplicating the years high est rate prompted another selling move- ment in the final hour, the market clos ing with an uncertain tone.
 The usual exceptions were recorded, shippings showing more stability than any other group. Marine preferred scored a gross gain of 3ss at S3. the common rising 17s to 2s1k and Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies gaining 2B United Fruit also denoting accumulation.
 United States Steel traversed similar ground, rising almost a point to 1175s in the forenoon, slipping back to 116ss and closing half point over that quotation, a net gain of the smallest fraction
 Munitions and equipments moved in like manner with motors and oils. Metals were less prominent than re- gently. advances in that division barely exceeding a point, except in Kennecott copper and Granby mining, where gains extend to about points, but these were largely relinquished.
 Pool activity was most patent in in dustrial alcohol, which moderately sup plemented yesterdays substantial ad- vance. until profit taking caused a re- versal of points. Heaviness in Ohio Gas, National Biscuit and some other high priced specialties was traceable to similar reasons.
 In rails & decline of 3A points in Della ware and Hudson to 11S, the lowest price in over a. decade, was the outstanding feature, coalers in general displayins marked heaviness Total sales amounted to 000o shares.
 The bond market was the usual nomi- nal affair, prices showing no definite trend. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated $3,525, 900.
 Government bonds were unchanged on call, but coupon Ss lost IA per cent on single sale

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

| Chicago, May 1.-Surmise that confer ence between the Swiss minister and President Wilson this afternoon was con nected with report that the German chancellor would, make a new peace of- fer on Thursday resulted today in smash ing the wheat market. After an extreme break of 16c values closed demoralized 6ss@4c net lower, with May at s25715 and July at s2.1214@2.1S. Corn lost s5s@5ssc; oats, 1ss@2l4c. and provisions 15d52c. Apparently the separation point had been reached and the wheat market was nc longer able to absorb an unusual amount of offerings A decided downWard ten dency almost from the very start was evident, influenced mainly at first by a prospect of increase imports from Can ada. The outlook for emergency legisla- ton at Washington to fix maximum and minimum prices on foodstuffs acted like wise against the bulls. Announcement of the Swiss minister's visit happened to coincide in the matter of time with the publication of news about the German chancellor and about immense strikes said to be in progress in Germany
 Excited trading and a widening out of the volume of transactions accompanied the late downward plunges of the wheat market but the aggregate of the day s business was not of impressive size. Many stop loss orders, however, were brought into play and the pit was clear ed before word arrived that the direct purpose of the conference at the White House was in regard to food conditions in Switzerland, not international peace.
 Corn weakened with wheat and broke rapidly toward the last. Better weather conditions as to planting formed an all- day handicap on the bulls. In oats as in other cereals, peace talk deprived the market of supports. Crop reports were favorable.
 Provisions advanced sharply on account of buying that was credited to packers. Declines in grain pr1ces had but little effect.
