REVIEW FOR WEEK
 IN COTTON MARKET

New York, May 4.-Conf1icting polit- ical and crop advices have caused con tinued nervousness and irregularity in the cotton market during the past week The advance which had started after the mid-April break was continued at the opening of the week with buying stimulated by peace rumors, talk of large government orders in goods mar ket, and reports that trade interests were accommodating new crop contracts as hedge against forward require ments. July contracts sold up to 20.26c and October to 19.57c on Tuesday, or about 128 to 172 points above the low level of last month. The market then met increased offerings and there was "a very sharp break during the middle Of the week on a revival of the subma "a rine scare and favorable weekly weather report. July sold off to 19. 4Gc and October to 18.70c at the opening this morning, but then steadied on a renewal of trade buying. and covering for over the weekend, with today's closing figures showing rallies of sev- eral points from the lowest Some of the large figures mentioned In con nection with the recent loss of ton mage through submarines were con tTdulcteu, ana nervousness over the ocean freight situation was relieved to some extent by the fact that no change was reported in marine war risks. Fla vorable weather for crop development was also modified by movement of private reports indicated increased acreage. So far four of these private reports have been issued based upon canvasses of southern correspondents, all of which have indicated an acreage smaller than last yeas, the figures ranging from l to per cent. The gov ernment's revised estimate of the acreage planted last year will be issued on June and official estimate of this years acreage about month later. Strength in Liverpool has reflected trade calling, with tendency here to attribute it to nervousness over im- ports. Reports of slackening retail trade throughout the country figured in bearish arguments. while more bullish- ly disposed traders believe that gov ernment requirements will insure the full employment of domestic mills Re- ports of policical disturbances in Rus sia had an unsettled effect on senti- met toward the end of the week, but were accompanied by renewed peace talk and rumors of May Day riots in Germany.

COTTON MARKET
 IS VERY NERVOUS
Conflicting Political News and Disposition to Even
 Up the Cause

New York, May 1.-The cotton market showed renewed nervousness and irregu- larity today, owing to conflicting political news and disposition to even up com mitments pending fresh developments. After selling at l9.46c early. July rallied to 19.77c but failed to hold the improve ment and closed at 19. s5c, with the gem eral list closing steady at a net loss of 2 to Il points.
 The market opened at a decline of 1T to 29 points under a furry of general liquidation inspired by indifferent cables, reports of political disturbances in Rus sia an6 the continued good weather in the south. Offerings were very well taken around the initial figures partly as re- suit of trade buying, which led to re- ports that hedges were being covered
 against sales of spots in the south and that spinners were buying contracts against forward requirements. The ap- pearance of this demand combined with the absence of spot pressure. and the firmer technical position after the break seemed to stimulate covering for over the weekend October rallied from IS roc tc Is 96c or back to practically last night E closing figures, but offerings increased on the bulge and the market was ner- vous and irregular in the late trading Washington advices, roughly outlining the legislation proposed to place the con trol of necessities in the hands of the administration, seemed to confuse senti- ment and may have been partly re sponsibe for early selling. The nervous ness late in the day, however seemed
 to grow largely out of conflicting pollti- cal advices, the talk of disturbances in
 Russia being amplified by later advices while there was also a renewal of peace rumors and reports of May Day riots in Germany Private cables reported very little buying power in Liverpool with the market unsettled by scattering liquida-
 tion. The trade buying of new cror months was accompanied by reports of demand from southern mills who were said to be working day and night largely on government orders.
 The Liverpool stock of American cot ton showed a decrease of 44,000 bales for the week, and there was a decrease of 5000 bales in the stock at Manchester.

Dun's Review

New York, May 4-Dun's review tornor- row will say:
 A month of readjustment to new con- ditions has brought little disturbance to business, and only in relatively few in stances are signs of special hesitation D. parent. Lessening of ordinary demands has continued in some important branch. largely because the backward weather has retarded retail distribution of sea- sonable merchandise in most sections of the country. Yet the growing crops re- fleet appreciable improvement with win ter wheat promising more abundant harvest than recently seemed likely and the betterment in the agriultural outlook means much in year when big yields are more than ever needed. Conservatism Is still dominant note in reports from some of the principal centers, especially in the east. but while regular transac- tions fall below the previous maximum the extensive government requirements have stimulating effect in many cirec- tions and manufacturing continues under high pressure.

Shepard & Gluck's Letter
(Received Over w E. CampbeIrs Private
 Nira !

Received Over w. E. Campbell's Private Wire)
 New Orleans, May 4.-Heavy selling again featured the cotton market in the early trading today offerings coming out chiefly as the result of the Lever bill, introduced into Congress for the purpose of regulating exchanges and fixing the
 prices of commodities.
 Good weather conditions over the belt
 and reports of internal troubles in Rus
 sia also encouraged selling.
 For a while the market appeared to be
 fully in the control of the short side, but
 fully it was demonstrated as sensitive
 to bullish as to bearish influences, and
 also that the technical position was be-
 coming strongly in favor of higher levels
 for quick rise occurred following re-
 ports of serious rioting in Berlin in which
 so the reports read, soldiers were obliged
 to use machine guns on the people mak- ing the demonstration. On this rise the
 early decline was almost completely
 wiped out.
 The market now Is inclined to register nervous fluctuations on war news and there is bound to be uncertainty over the outcome of the market legisla tion be- fore Congress and its effect if it passes To all appearances it is well liquidated, however, and also oversold and we see no reason why 1t should not respond tc any bullish influences which may de. velop.

STOCK MARKET IS
 AGAIN DEPRESSED
Apprehension Concerning Foreign Affairs Increas-
 ingly Acute

New York, May 1.-The stock market was again under cloud of depression today, that condition being less pro nounced as to the general list, however, than in the far more active operations of the previous day. Apprehension con- cerning foreign affairs was increasingly acute, especially in connection with the situation in Russia.
 Further selling of representative se curities at severe concessions was again the overshadowing feature and served as a constant restrain in other quarters. Many theories were offered in explanation of the incessant offerings of investment rails. the belief persisting that they rep resented liquidation by important finan cial interests.
 Chief among the more extreme recession of the day were Norfolk and Western, which fell eA to 117N; Louisville and Nashville. 6M to 11s; New York, Chicago and St. Louis second preferred, to 50, and Wheeling and Lake Erie PA to 321s; St. Paul common and preferred, the Pa cihc section, New York Central, Reading. Lehigh Valley, Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line ranged lower by l to 21a points at times.
 Delaware and Hudson recovered 31a points to 10s14, after an early decline to the new now level of 106, closing at a slight fractional loss. Pullman Car, which ranks among the inactive invest emnts, added another loss of 51s points to it's recent steady decline at .149. Trading in the prominent industrials was extremely professional, United States Steel almost duplicating yesterdays min imum of l13 after an advance to 1145a and closing at 113ss, a let loss of s. Most of the equipments munitions and war supply shares were lower by l to 2
 points. Intermittent steadiness was shown by metals and shippings, Indus trial Alcohol and some of the petroleum issues, but coppers fell back on the un- favorable statement of earnings issued by the Utah Copper company, for the March quarter. The few irregular rallies of the final hour resulted from short cov- ering. Total sales amount to 590,000 shares
 Slight improvement in foreign issues featured the dull and uncertain bond market. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated 3,620,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call
