SECURITY MARKET HAS MUCH BETTER
 TONE DURING WEEK
By Hop

New York, May 20.-Technical condi- tions again accounted to a considerable extent for some of the important changes that accompanied the enlarged operations of last week in the stock market. The many signs of increased industrial activity awakened an in- quiry for steel and iron issues and the general list of equipments and mu- nitions
 While no official announcements have been made. it is understood In these circles that several large con tracts for supplies were consummated recently at prices which bore no sug- gestion of oppression on the part of the federal authorities
 Another favorable factor for the week was the let-up in liquidation of rails and utilities. Albeit motor issues were under increased pressure Bet torment in rails was assured by more encouraging crop prospects and well defined belief that the interstate com merce commission will soon accede In part to the demands of the railroad companies.
 Issuance by the treasury department of another $200,000.000 of certificates and the disbursement of aditional moneys to this country's allies created no change in domestic monetary con- ditions. Home trade showed a slight recession from the high crest of re- cent months. but all mercantile de- mands were met without strain.

PRICE OF COTTON SWINGS UPWARD
 AS WEEK ADVANCES

New Orleans, May 20.--In the cotton market last week the lowest prices were around the opening and the high est on the close. In the early part of the week foreign political news was against values, but it worked with the bull element. A buying wave de- veloped on poor crop accounts, the ap~ parent checking of submarine activi- ties and better spot demand and prices were put to the highest levels since last December. Right on the close fear of wet weather put the finishing touches to the upward move ment and last prices were within a couple of points of the top.
 At the highest the trading months were 107 to 40 points over the pre- vious weeks close and July was sent to 2050c a pound. At the lowest the market was to points under the previous weeks close: the range was 115 to 147 points. In the spot de- pertinent middling rose A points to 20.13c
 Crop reports were featured by their mention of the damage done by ab- normal temperatures and a good part of the buying was based on the belief that the first government report of tHe season, cdffylnS the crop to May 25. will be bullish. Much replanting was reported and in not few in stances it was claimed that cotton fields were being plowed up and re- planted to corn, beans and other food and feed crops
 The smaller tonnage losses in Eu- ropean waters, together with the news that both American and Japanese war vessels were doing patrol duty in the | export outlet for cotton would again be opened up and late in the week ir was claimed in the spot department that some shippers were finding it possible to put through business with the other side. At one time it was said that both Russia and Japan were buy ing cotton on this side.
 Political news probably will con- tinue to cause the minor swings of the market. Any further progress against German submarine warfare would be a decidedly bullish increase.
