Shepard & Gluck's Letter

(Received Over W. B. Campbell's Private
 Wire).
 New Orleans May 11-Fresh advances were scored in cotton today, the market advancing easily on short covering and moderate amount of fresh long buying. Buyers found little for sale, offerings being reduced by complaints of cold weather over large portion of the belt and fear that rainy spell is setting in Telegrams from a great number of points in the belt stated that much replanting will be necessary because of the effect of the low. temperatures on plants and seed in the ground. If the rains continue this replanting will be delayed and crops will become foul, conditions that will 1n- evitably raise prices to higher level.
 Intensifying the effect of the weather conditons< was peace talk of the morn ing, the most important feature being the report that Austrian envoys were seeking safe conduct to Paris in order to discuss separate peace. The market acted short and responded roughly to bullish market gossip.
 In some ways the market is acquiring better tone as the problems of war which this country is facing are being settled. Should the trend of events politically take more favorable turn there would be no holding the market down. We be- lieve in remaining on the long side and would buy on any dips.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, May 11.-Unparalleled new high prices in the wheat market reached point today where leading houses refused outright any business that involved con tracts requiring delivery this month. To a lesser extent, July was also put under a ban. After an extreme acvance of 1% cents, the market closed unsettled, 1% to 914 cents net higher, with May at sS.1S and July at s2.49a4 to $2.5O1s. Corn finished 1kc off to ssc up; oats gained 1sc to 1ssc, and provisions showed a rise of to 15 cents.
 Tightening up of the wheat market de- veloped almost as soon as trade opened. Lack of offerings, the chief reason as- signed, became more and more acute as the session continued and it was not until near midday that the strain was in a measure relieved. By that time May had mounted to s325 an overnight ad- vance of 10c, with July SEC and Sep tember 11%c. The buying meanwhile was largely on the part of houses with east ern connections, and although not of un- usual magnitude proved to be wholly out of proportoin to the available pit sup ply. It seemed as if all would-be short sellers had been scared out of the market and that the only selling was from longs with profits Denials were gen. eral that an American government of ficials public references to the possibil- ity of the market ascending to S5 a bushel was a factor in causing the new upturn.
 Material setbacks from the new top levels of wheat quotations were brought about in the late trading. Chances of drastic measures by the directors of the Board of Trade again continued trading in the May delivery did good deal to induce unloading by holders. The limit ed amount of cash wheat here capable of being utilized for settling May con- tracts excited much comment. As a con- sequence No. red, an ordinary contract grade, sold as high today as $40, where as the previous topmost record was 8. 32111s. Corn hardened with wheat, but reacted. after reaching a new high price level. Weather that favored planting and growth tended somewhat to encourage selling.
 Oats were bought quite noerarfy on ac- count of their wide discount under other cereals.
 Higher quotations on hogs and grain strengthened provisions. The bulge how ever, led to much realizing by longs

SHARP ADVANCE
 ON COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady With Net Advance of
 IF to g Points

New York, May 11.-There was further sharp advance in the cotton market today with July contracts selling up to 19.6Sc, or 26 points above last nights close, and 54 points above the low level of last Wednesday. That delivery closed at 19.65c. with the gen. eral list closing very steady at a net advance of IF to 32 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 9 to points on overnight buying orders brought in by the firm- ness of yesterday and relatively firm cables. There was enough scattering liquidation to cause some irregularlty right after the call, but the market soon showed increasing strength on bullish private crop advices from the eastern belt, further trade buying and covering of shorts. Wall street was q particularly active buyer, being in fluenced presumably by the firmer tone of the stock market and cover ing became more urgent as prices worked higher without meeting much cotton. Stop orders were uncovered with October selling up to 1S.98c and December to 19.05c, with active months generally showing net advances of 26 to 34 points early in the afternoon. The buying then became less active and later fluctuations were somewhat IT, regular as a result of realizing, but the market closed within 3 or 4 points of the best. New crop positions were relatively active and firm notwith- standing prospects for gradually ris- ing temperatures. The early firmer ruling of the stock market seemed to encourage a rather more optimistic view of general conditions and there was buying on the bu1lish crop, but otherwise brokers failed to connect the advance with any particular item in the days news. The trade buying re- ported yesterday was less M evidence today. but it seemed that the heavy selling of the searly week had left the market in well liquidated posi- ton and when shorts started to cover they found very few contracts for sale around the ring. Private cables at- tributed relatively firm cables to con tinental buying of new crops and trade calling. The comparatively easy rul- ing of near months here was consid- cred partly due to poor export pros- poets.
