New Orleans Cotton

l New Orleans, May 22.-After a break | of about $2 a bale on this market today cotton recovered strongly and made a material net gain in the afternoon on I fresh buying. Late in the session trad 1 ing were 2 to 2S points over yesterdays close Last prices showed a net gain l of 21 to P points. The refusal of spots ! to follow futures at the decline was the main reason for the sudden strength. Bullish traders described the spot de- mand as strong with holders firm and unwilling to grant the slightest conces- 1 sions in price.
 | The opening was at the advance, with 1 the market standing to g points up around the call, in sympathy with bet ter cables than due Bears immediately attacked the market. encouraged by the census bureau report on linters and
 believing a reaction from the advance
 was due Their hammering caused a
 quick break which much liquidation
 of long cotton came out. By the middle
 of the morning trading months were 29
 to 90 points under yesterdays close.
 The censusu bureau reported a produc-
 ton of 1,210S76 bales of linters to the end of April, a record breaking total.
 Bears made much use of the figures un-
 til the bulls found the statement in the statistics that of the total production

NEW HIGH GROUND
 FOR COTTON PRICES
General List Closed Steady At Net Advance of 21 to
 31 Points

New York, May 22.-An early decline in the cotton market was followed by re- newal of active Wall street and western buying with prices making new high ground for the movement. October sold up from 20.1562O. .79c. and closed at 2O.GSc with the general list closing very steady at a net advance of 21 to S1 points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of to Il points in response to relatively steady cables. Prices soon eased off, however, under a continuation of the sell ing movement. which had developed late yesterday. Uneasiness over the Russian situation, favorable weather and reports of improving crop conditions, seemed to stimulate liquidation while there was also talk of increased spot offerings based on the larger sales represented in the southern markets yesterday. Before the end of the morning July contracts sold to 29 points net lower and about half a cent under the high level of yesterday morning. Stop loss orders were uncov- cred on this decline After their execu- ton the market became comparatively quiet and fluctuations during the middle of the day were irregular. Later Wall street and western buying orders be- gan to reach the ring in volume and there was active covering on the late advance which carried July up to 2O9Sc and December to 2O.S3c, or more than half a cent above the low level of the morn ing and into new high ground for the season on new crop deliveries. Closing prices were a shade off from the best under realizing. The afternoon buying movement followed a report from a Chi cago authority indicating a reduction of , per cent in acreage and one of the poorest initial crop conditions in years Otherwise no fresh news feature was dis cussed on the advance of practically S25 Fer bale from the low level of the morn- ing, and the bull movement was quite generally attributed to a renewal of sup port from the buyers of last week. Pri- yate cables said the firmness in Liver pool was due to a good spot demand, trade calling and small offerings.

U. s. STEEL MAKES
 STEADY ADVANCE
Growing Popularity of Lib- erty Loan Encouraging
 Feature of Market

New York, May 22-Indecision marked the early course of today's ac- tive and broader market. but this con- dition was almost wholly rectfied in the final hour when United States steel led the general list to new maxi nuns for the current movement. Trad Ing covered wider scope, taking into greater extent than recently the rails. metals. oils and specialtes
 Wall street professed to see favor able potents in the decision of the United States supreme court, which postponed reargument of impending
 trust suits for a year. The grow ing popularity of the liberty loan was another encouraging influence There was intimations also, of an early an- nouncement by the interstate com merce commission regarding the plea or the railroads for increased rates.
 United States Steel's steady advance or l% points to the new record of 127$ put that stock within 2ss points of its record. Absorption of steel was most impressive and infused fresh vitality into the market after an in termediate period of lassitude
 Other equipments and munitions Jagged by comparison, the only note worthy features of that division being Midvale steel, which rose 2A to 62M and Bethlehem Steel new stock, which Tailed to hold more than a part of it's nominal advance
 All the coppers and allied shares were higher by 1 to points on very large accumulations. Gains in this group ran from to points Utah. in- spiration and American Smelling being most in favor
 The inquiry for oils took in virtual " every issue of that description Texas company registered a gross gain of PA points, while Mexican Pe- troleum Sinclair oil and California Petroleum, preferred, advanced 1 to al- most 2 points. Motors made further recoveries from last weeks setback. and high priced specialties and utili :! ties were again featured b* industrial Alcohol and Ohio gas, those issues ris- ing 1 to points at their best All classes of rails were included in the l to points advances. Total sales par value aggregated $2,57O,O00.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, May 22.-Automatic choking off of future delivery trade in wheat tight ened to such an extent today that busi- ness was reduced for the most part to scanty dealings in a single optton-Sep- tember. Bearish crop advlces had also a depressing effect on values The mar ket closed unsettled l cent 70 cents net lower with July at S2.S2 ssd septem- Der at S2 O. Corn gained 1i4c to l9s0li2c, oats lost 14Q3sc to $4c. Provisions finished irregular, ranging from Joe off to 5d7c ad- vance.
 Predictions current that a complete stop soon of all option business in wheat might be witnessed as a result Of existing arbitrary rules were not unanimously agreed to. Unlimited short selling is still permissible and enough of it has been developing to cause of late a mate rial constant setback in prices.
 As far as news had any influence on the wheat market the principal factor today was the confidence which crop ad- vices gave that the governments May figures on the domestic yield would be exceeded to a substantial degree.
 Corn prices bulged- on account of the scarcity of cash offerings and because of continued cold weather and lack of sunshine. Bearlsh estimates of large in- creases of planted acreage in seven sur plus producing states formed only tran sient handicap on the bulls
 Although at first the nats market sym pathized with the strength of corn, slow ness of shipping demand from the east acted later as a weight on quotations. Seaboard exporters were said to be out of the market.
 Holders of provisions displayed evident to realize. Higher prices on hogs were thus more than offset.
