TRADING IRREGULAR
 ON COTTON MARKET.
New Crop Months Were Relatively Easy-General
 List Closed Steady

New York. May 21.-A further advance in the cotton market during today's early trading was followed by nervous and ir- regular fluctuations and falling off in the volume of business. October con- tracts reacted from 90.6Sc to 2O.40c, and closed at 2o.41c with the general list clos ing steady, net points higher to 13 points lower. New crop months were relatively easy.
 The market opened barely steady at an advance of points to a decline of point. The good weather reported over Sunday and the extent of last weeks advices seemed to be bringing in good deal of scattered realizing, but offerings were quickly absorbed by a further broad ening of Wall street and western de- mand Before the end of the first hour, July contracts had advanced to 20.S9c, the December to 2O.77c with the general list selling about 14 to 19 points net higher.
 In the case of October contracts this
 made an advance of $11.55 per bale from the low level of the month ana there
 seemed to be some southern selling here as well as realizing. More over senti- Inent was unsettled by renewal of nerv
 ousness over the Russian situation, which appeared to be inspired by the use of the
 word ''armistce" in a statement from the Russian minister of war.
 This statement, while conveying the first intimation received that anything of thaf< sort had existed on the eastern front, contained the promise of greater aggressiveness and reiterated Russia s loyalty to the cause of the allies, however, and a sudden break of 20 or A points was followed by a partial recovery. But | the buying was not as active or as az | gressive as it had been earlier in the day, and the market was barely steady curing the afternoon, owing to favorable detailed weather reporc and continued | lliquidation.
 1 July sold off to 2067c and December to | 2o.50c with the market closing at the | tow point of the day. No change was re- ported in the goods situation. Trade in- terests were credited with buying a little cotton on the forenoon break, but the volume of business showed quite sharp I falling off after the early buying move ment had spent its force.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-05-22
New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 21-The tendency in cotton today was to react from the movement toward higher prices which has been in force of late. While prices were sent to new high levels. around the opening, July touching 2033c a pound, the market was at a small decline during the greater part of the session, closing at a net loss of 1 to 10 points. At the highest the trading months were IA to IT points over Saturdays close and at the lowest to 12 points under.
 On the opening the influence of an accumulation over Sunday of buying was felt but when these orders were filled the ring found it difficult to absorb the offerings come from real izing longs and prices fell off rather sharply. Bearish traders. seeing their opportunity, gave the ring consider able short cotton on theory that a re- action of consequence was due.
 The downward trend was held within bounds and the tone was kept steady by fear that too much rain was fall ing over the belt and by reports of 8 good geenral spot demand over the south.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-05-22
Shepard & Gluck's Letter

New Orleans, May 21.-(Special.} New high levels were reached by cot ton in the early trading today, but fol- lowing the initial bulge, there was not unexpected reaction of moderate proportions. The market has been rising rapidly of late and is getting more susceptible to reactions than 1t formerly was. These downward move ments keep the situation healthy and when they are carried too far, wise traders will use them to place fresh purchases on. It was evident that considerable volume of buying orders accumulated over Sunday and when they were filled the market felt pres< sure from realizing and also from traders who were trying to manipulate a reaction on their own account. Fol lowing a fresh rumor of an armistice between Russia and Germany there was a rather aggressive short selling.
 The tone was held steady by the continued evidence of good spot de- mand and reports that exporters were again taking hold of the actual stuff. Rains in the western belt and expec- tations of more to come with prospects that they would extend to all parts of the belt caused fear that replanting would be interfered with and also did much toward giving the market good tone
 The situation has undergone no change and we expect after the Hqui- dation under way is over. that the high levels will be reached. They ap- pear to be justified by both the sta- tistical position and the new crop out look.
