Spot Cotton

Avery's Letter

The unexpected happened again today in the cotton market After the call there seemed to be plenty of cotton for sale and for time 1t looked as if a severe break would come, but the big fellows, McFadden. Wall street and Chicago came into the market and right-about face was evident immediately. This was in- duced by rumor that a private esti- mator of considerable influence, put the condition at TO which figure was s per cent below any so far. Covering by the early sellers also helped close the mar ket with prices around the top. Cieven- berg said the volume of business was small and that it took very little buying to put the market up. It Is evident there is a concerted determination to put prices still higher and that the present figures do not represent the goal set by the bulls This being the case there Is no use buck ing it and trying to pick the top, just get in the bandwagon and ride.

Shepard & GIuck's Letter

(Received Over W. E. Campbell's Private
 Wire)
 New Orleans, May 29.-After showing a declining tendency in the early trading today cotton made full recovery and sharp advance
 At the lowest the market stood at a net decline of Ac; in the afternoon the strongest months went to net advances of IS to g points. The close was ir- regular at net gain for the day of 5 to 13 points.
 The poor Liverpool stimulated liquida- tion in the early part of the session and the easing of the market encouraged short offerings.
 The disposition to even up on the part of the holders of long cotton was in creased by the holiday tomorrow in both American markets and the pending bu- reau report on condition
 The market acted short in the after noon and advanced easily
 The trade cannot get away from the fact that Fridays condition figures are going to be bullsh. no matter if they do come in somewhat higher than last weeks unwise predictions.
 The market is now well evened up and in better technical situation than it was.
 We see no reason why bullish re- port should not have its effect under the circumstances.
 Todays Journal of Commerce reports put the condition of the crop at "A per cent of normal and the decrease in ac1 cage al 3.4 per cent.
 Such prospects as these figures reflect do not point to large yield.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 29.-Even up opera tions were the main feature of the local cotton market today Tn the morning there was much liquidation from the long side, under which prices fell off a quarter of cent pound, but in the afternoon shorts covered and put prices up on them- selves, the market rising strongly to a net gain of about quarter of cent The close was at net gain for the session of to B points.
 Around the opening prices were af- fected unfavorably by the very poor Liv- erpool improve weather conditions over the belt and the bearish opinion the trade formed of the Russian news. Owners of long contracts were disposed to even up over the holiday tomorrow and also over the condition report Friday and Athe ring did not take their offerings any too we'll Bearish traders swelled the offerings with short cotton and before the session was very old prices were N to % points under yesterdays close. After period of un- settled trading, with recoveres of 10 or F points. the market finally moved up- ward strongly. Shorts became nervous over the strength shown and finally turned buyers on a large scale. Highest prices were reached late in the day when the market stood IS to 23 points over yes- terday's last quotations.

TRADING BRISK ON
 STOCK EXCHANGE
Industrial Shares Make Gains With U. s. Steel
 Well in the Lead

New York, May 29-Efforts by the short interest to depress prices in today's ir- regular market met with indifferent suc- cess, the list rising briskly in the last hour and wiping out many early declines of to 3 points, Selling of long stock by traders who chose to close out their contracts over the holiday was an addi- tional factor in the unsettlement of the forenoon, together with an abatement Of public interest.
 The Russian situation, as disclosed by overnight advces, was one of the devel- opments put forward by professional traders to affect values. Initial prices were 1 to points under yesterday S close. United States Steel was among the first to yield, dropping points to 1307s in the first hour.
 In the last 15 minutes steel crept slowly np to 1337s and closed only frac- ton lower, making d net gain of point. The belated recoy ; was accomplished on the customary free buying individual lots running from 1000 to $500 shares.
 Other industrials of like description made almost proportionate recoverfes, Bethlehem Steel, Crucible Steel and Lackawanna Steel accompanying the movement at moderate net gains Among the war supply issues, sugars were a pronounced feature at advances of 1 to s points.
 Rails and shippings dropped during the morning with metals, motors, oils, leath- CTS and the gas shares. Peoples Gas fe !. 21a points to the new minimum Of 6S7a, but recovered more than half. lntermit- tent heaviness in Industrial Alcohol and a few other high priced specialttes yielded to extensive short covering. Pool activity was observed in the paper shares and American Linseed issues, General Chemical featured it's particular division at an advance of S4 points.
 Tomorrow Il be a holiday in both New York and New Orleans, while the Liverpool market will be open as usual.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, May 29.-(Special. )-Profit taking was the order of the morning. based on the better weather map of the past few days since the poor crop reports were compiled, and on the belief that the larger long interests had parted with their interests. Apparently they expect an improvement in crop conditions during the next six weeks, which, with the pos sibility of some restrictions being placed on cotton as has been on wheat induced them to realize while not changing their ideas of the value of the staple The mills have bought freely the past week against sales of goods. In the afternoon the market recovered the decline on the approach of the holiday and the govern ment report with several Wall street traders the main buyers.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. May 29.-Grain prices to- CT an earlier show of strength. The short interest had been greatly re- duced while the temporary bulge was in progress. When longs attempted to unload further they found little trade. The wheat market depended largely on the action of grain and was unsettled at the finish, with July at 203c and September at $1.831s. Corn closed ss 4 2Ac and oats off A A91fsc. In provi- sions the outcome was an advance of 42 to S5.
 Bearish influences, which had an in- dependent effect on wheat, were chief ly favorable crop reports. A leading expert sent word that continued cold, showery weather was bringing out the Kansas crop wonderfully and that yields were likely to be made larger than had been expected
 Trade in corn was large, especially while shorts were covering on a sharp reaction from yesterdays big break in prices. Unexpected scantiness of of- ferings from the country had caused temporary anxiety on the part of shorts. When their wants had been supplied, however, leading houses be- came active sellers and forced set- back in prices. crop prospects re- mained good and shipping demand slow.
 Oats swayed with corn.
 Foreign inquiries for offers of meats and lard had much to do with the advance in provisions

TRADING IRREGULAR . ON COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of IF
 to 27 Points

New York, May 29.-Offerings became less active on an early decline in the cotton market today, and after selling at 2O.67c for October the price rallied to q .15c on covering or a renewal of bull support That delivery closed at q Ooc with the general list closing very steady at net advance of r to 25 points
 There was a renewal of yesterdays sell ing movement at the opening and first prices showed a decline of 10 to r points. Relatively easy cables and 8 fairly favor able weather map promoted the dsposi- ton to take profits for over the holiday tomorrow or in advance of the government report, which Is scheduled for publication on Friday The failure of the private crop reports published before the open- ing to bring in additional buying power also strengthened yesterdays impression ton had been discounted. The volume of selling was much smaller than it had been yesterday afternoon, however, and as soon as offerings tapered oil the mar ket turned firmer on covering. Demand broadened as prices worked upward with out meeting any material pressure, and later in the day recent sellers for long account appeared to be rebuying. The talk was that trade interests had ab- sorbed a good many of the contracts sold on the break of about e5 to 75 points from recent high levels, and the relative flrmness of July early suggested a con- tinued absence of spot pressure That de- livery sold up from M Ice to q 54c or 26 points net higher, while December ad- vanced from 2o.75c to 21 22c or g points net higher. Closing prices were a few points off from the best under realizing. Two private crop reports were published, one indicating decrease of 34 per cent in acreage and condition of "A; the other a decrease of 45 per cent In acreage and 8 condition of 72.4 per cent.
