Avery's Letter

The same influences which prevailed yesterday were predominant in the cot ton ma rket today.
 Heavy selling of gilt-edged securities like Louisville and Nashville. Reading and Norfolk and Western and weakness in the early session of the grain markets were sympathetic factors, which kept cot ton from rallying, and the only buying power came from shorts covering.
 The weather was ideal and the convic- tion is gradually forcing itself upon the public at large we are at war. The ex- ports showed up large. but when it was explained that in the total were included lS,OO0 bales of linters exported from Sa- vannah and after deducting coastwise shipments they did not look so big
 Look for gradually sagging prices until boats are found upon which to export commodities and means are afforded for their protection.
 Twenty per cent was offered for in- surance on cargoes to Genoa today This means s25 per bale insurance and freight to the same port recently was quoted at $S per 100 pounds or $40 per bale. It is easy to see from this what shape the ocean shipping situation is In.
 Sales on the rallies seem to be the best policy at present

Mississippi Teachers
 Meeting in Columbus

Columbus Miss, May 4-(Special.) When local educators extended an invi- tation to the Mississippi Teachers asso- citation to hold it's 1917 session here, mem bers of the executive committee, who were clothed with authority to select a place of amalgamation, declined at first to accept the invitation giving as a. reason therefor that they feared the city would not be able to provide accommo- dations for the large crowd that the con- vention would bring here. In fact, sev- eral invitations extended In previous years had for a similar reason been re- fused; but the local representatives promised members of the executive com mittee that if they would give Columbus the convention this year ample accommo- dations would be provided for all who came. and they have made this promise good; for, notwithstanding the fact that
 the attendance upon the convention which is now in session here, is unusually large,
 homes have been provided for all visitors
 and there has been no crowding or con fusion.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, May 4-After whirlwlnd
 descent of 21 cents q bushel and an ex-
 citing rebound of 16 cents, the wheat
 market today continued to show great
 nervousness, owing almost entirely to government moves at Washington and Ot-
 tawa Co establish joint continental con-
 troI of prices. There was an unsettled
 finish at 3a1c to 71sc net decline, with
 May at $2.721s and July at g .1s1k72. .2O14
 Corn closed ssc to 1%c off oats down, 1A
 q11ac and provisions showing setbacks of 15d3Oc
 Demoralization of the widest sort was
 witnessed in the wheat pit when the mar
 ket opened. So general was the rush
 to sell that would-be purchasers were at first completely overwhelmed Within
 10 minues, however, hardy buyers had met the stampede with such spirit that were wiped out. Violent fluctuations fol lowed. but most of the struggle was at an end in half an hour, with prices then
 at about the level at which the market finished. Scarcely anything except the news from Washington and Ottawa ap- peared to attract attention.
 Renewal of acute weakness and a fresh display of activity suddenly developed after midday and the chief speculative 1 option, July broke almost as sharply as at the outset, when a tumble of 111hc to 1 s2.15 took place. The cause of the new l furry was peace talk started by rumor | that President Wilson's friend, Col E 1 M. House, had been invited to Berlin I Lack of any confirmation of the rumor however led to a quick rally. Jumps oi | 8 cents between trades occurred in the May delivery al a time when the prices had been smashed overnight 21c. | Corn and oats maintained relative sta l bility as compared with wheat. Offerings ! of the feed grains were only moderate | Extreme decline in sympathy with wheat weakness amounted to 3ssc. Unfavorable I weather for planting and growth tended ! to keep values steady.
 l Prospects of government regulation brought about much unloading by holders l of provisions Unusual declines, though were confined to pork, which at one time was down Tic

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. May 4.-Political news worked both for and against prices in the cotton market here today. Fluctua- tions were fairly wide, decline of from 20 to 30 points around the open ing being succeeded by an almost complete recovery. The market re- mained within few points of the top most levels during the better part of the remainder of the session, closing at a net decline of to g points
 On the opening values were affected unfavorably by introduction late yes- terday in the House of the Lever bill providing for regulation of exchanges and fixing commodity prices. Heavy selling started with the opening gong. Favorable weather over the belt in- creased offerings and prices went to their lowest following reports of dis turbance in Petrograd. With the mar ket very soft and looking lower, re- ports came in telling of rioting at Ber- Hin. Mention of the use of machine guns on the rioters made a profound impression on the market, selling ceased and a strong demand set in which quickly put prices to within to points of yesterdays close. Peace talk helped keep the tone steady during the last half of the ses- sion.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, ay 4.-(Special.)--Again the market was under the influence of the war news from Europe. Rumors of riots In Petrograd affected the market ad- versely. while similar rumors from Der lin caused the recovery Spinners bought fall positions and Liverpool took some July on arbitrage. Traders expected the bulls would advlnce the market tomor- row when Liverpool would be closed as they have usually on Saturday Feeling in the market is rather less bullish Clear weather following rains Is thought to be favorable. No pressure to sell was mo- ticeable after Wall street and Chicago sold on the opening.
