PRICES RISE ON
 STOCK EXCHANGE
Popularity of Liberty Loan and Big Exports Factors
 in Advance

New York, May S1-Favorable happen iiiss over the holiday, especially the increasing popularity of the liberty loar and the remarkable April statement oi the eountry's exports, were primary fac tors in today's further rise of prices Much of this gain was forfeited, how ever, in the extensive selling of the last hour.
 The chief drawback or adverse in fluenee of the session was again fur nished by the Russian situation, which ruk' se. Weakness of the motor grou few other speculative is- sues alone encouraged the short inter- ests.
 Altogether the movement was the broadest of any witnessed in the current rise, even though dealings were not ur to their recent high mark and United States Steel continued to supply more than it's proportionate share. Steel was again in a. class by itself, breaking into new high ground on it's extreme rise ot 27s points to 1365s, and exceeding it's pre- vious maximum by 1ss From its top the stock sold down sharply to 134, clos ing at 1341s, a net gain of only B of a point.
 similar course was pursued by other steel shares, including the great bulk ot equipments and munitions. Only few of these issues retained any part of their advantage some finishing at net losses, Steel sells minus it's regular and tex tra" dividends of A per cent tomor- row and much of it's early rise was ascribed to short covering to avoid the added penalty
 Among the other very active and tenn porarily strong stocks were the sugars at gross gains of to points, tobaccos ? to 4, oils and feathers to almost and shippings at equal gains Fertilizers shared in the upswing for a time with the paper stocks, American Woolen, gas and local fractions, Distillers Securities and Industrial Alcohol the latter holding about half it's 5l-point rise Metals re- corded no appreciable move at any time and rails presented no notable features. Lehgh Valley made only slight response to the 90 per cent cash and 90 per cent stock dividends declayed by the Coal Sales company. Total sales of stocks amounted to 100000 shares.
 Bonds were steady, internationals in- clning to moderate irregualrity. Total sales. par value, aggregated $2,7 900.
 United States coupon and registered 2s declined 4 per cent on call.

TRADING IRREGULAR
 ON COTTON MARKET
General List Closed at a Net Advance of II to A
 Points

New York, May 31-The cotton market was nervous and irregular today. Some of the active months made new high rec ords for the season at the opening with December contracts selling at 21 .47c, but the advance met a good deal of realizing with that delivery selling off to 21 .24c and closing at 21.29c. The general list closed irregular at net advance of Il to 4 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance
 of 22 to 30 points owing to the strength in
 Liverpool over the local holiday, and the
 appearance of further bullish condition
 figures. July contracts sold at 21 Soc and October at 21 40c on the call, but met
 a good deal of cotton at this level, with
 the disposition to take profits in advance
 of the bureau increased by expectations
 of a bearish weekly weather report at
 midday.
 Active months sagged back to within
 10 or F points of Tuesdays closing fig-
 ures during the middle of the morning
 Offerings then tapered off, however, and
 8 rally of several points followed by re-
 port of the weather bureau indicating that
 there had been little if any improve
 ment in the condition of the crop during
 the week ended on Tuesday morning As
 in the case of the opening advance, this
 upturn met liquidation or profit taking,
 and the lowest prices of the day were
 touched late in the afternoon when July sold at 21 .61c and October at 21.14c. The
 close was several points up from the lowest on covering. Wall street and local
 longs were credited with selling freely
 during the day while the buying was att tributed partly to trade interests. Two private crop reports were published one
 making the condition 70 per cent and indicating decrease of 2.s per cent in acreage; the other condition of 69.9 per cent and decrease of per cent in acre. age. These reports confirmed expecta- tions of low condition from the de- partment of agriculture tomorrow morn ing, but evidently failed to inspire much fresh buying.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, May 31.-On the last day of the month the Manchester spin ners appear to have called cotton freely in Liverpool and as the ex- ports from America are unusually light. that market was without sellers to supply this demand Here we have had another day of poor private crop reports and heavy liquidation by the operators who have been so long prominent in the advance Their idea seems to be that we are approaching period of good weather for the crop which may create disposition among holders in the south to part at these hlgh prices with part of the large amount of cotton remaining on hand. which is now not in demand for ex- port The sentiment is bullish, so the short interest is negligible.

Deputy marshals are
 directed to notify all who are openly vio- lating this decree to desist or be subject to arrest" was wholly erroneous and was given out without authority. No such ruling has been received by the United States marshal of this district. and am advised by the Attorney. Gen. eral today that not only has no such
 ruling been made. but that the depart

 make ruling of this character" Very

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 31-Cotton stood at the advance throughout the session Of the market here today, being sustained by moderate but insstent buying en- couraged by low private condition re- ports belief in 8 low condition report from the government tomorrow and by unfavorable weekly weather and crop re- ports from the government Cables were better than due and the market opened at a rather stiff rise of over Ac a pound in the early trading. At the topmost levels trading months were 32 to 39 points up The close was IS to 26 up.
 Offerings were scanty the day through, and moderate buying had more than its usual effect. Hard spots, however, were followed on profit taking by reactions of from 10 to 20 points, but these reac- tions always met fresh buying which prevented them from going very far.
 Several low private condition reports were issued. The lowest was u..3 per cent of the normal and the highest was 70.9. Bearish traders fully expected the weekly reports to show improvement in the crop but instead they made much mention of the unfavorable situation brought about by cold nights and, in some sections. drouth.
