After an extreme advance of ce..ts a bushel. the market closed unsettled, 5%c to 57sc net higher, with May at s179Q1.s0k. and July at $1.46& @S146%. Corn gained 1Sc to %; and oats, 1Ac to 1%c. Pro- visions finished at a range varying from 2219c decline to a rise of 71Ac.
 Diminishing supplies in the United States tended to stimulate sentiment favoring the bull side of the whea: market. and so. likewise, did opti- mistie messages from the seabo2rd referring to the number of ocean vessels available and to the clearing up of the railroad freight carrying difficulties. A disturbing element late in the day was the circulation of rumors that Germany soon would attempt to blockade the British Isles with fleet of 400 super submarines. Corn rose with wheat.

CONFIDENT SHORTS ARE RUN ID COVER
 IN STOCK MARKET
While This Was Possible. Yet There Is No Great Strength in Present
 Situation

New York. April 2s.-The tentative ana superficial character of prevailing mar ket conditions was strlkingly illustrated during the week. An extensive and over confident short interest was hurriedly driven to cover in consequence of the very substantial extra dividend on United States Steel common. Record earnings of that corporation seemed to be re- garded as a secondary consideration, Better crop conditions and railway earn ings exercised little beneficial effect. all though rails participated in the rise. Eff forts by pools to inject fresh interest into speculative stocks met with slight success.
 Further extraordinary advances in the markets for foodstuffs were viewed with greater concern but the hardening of money rates occasioned no apprehension. The success of the first war offering of $200,0000O0 has encouraged treasury off cials to believe that the increased un- dertaiings soon to be negotiated will meet with equal favor.
 Russia's uncertain status in the inter national situation was manifested in re- newed weakness of exchange on Petro- grad. while fires became visibly stronger in anticipation of the assistance this country Is expected to extend to Italy.

MINTYRE'S LOWLY GULLS MEET BARONS
 NEXT AT R|CKWOOD
Moley's Men Drop Hard Game to Dobbers-JOe Wiley to Oppose
 Karl Black

Carlton Molesworth and his band of Barons will return from New Orleans early this morning after experiencing a disastrous one-day szav in the Cres- cent City Moley's men. lost real heart breaker to the Dobbers yester- day and the defeat no doubt came as the result of over confidence on the part of the locals. Birmingham is exactly 300 this morning and the pres ent series decides whether they ad- vance or go below par.
 The Barons, however, had a good series with the Pels. They copped three of the four battles. much to the surprise of the entire leagues fan dom In fact. the Barons are respon- sible for the vast change in the league standing in the past few days as the Pels held the league by wide mar gin prior to their visit to the Magic City
 The Moleys are through with the Dobbers now until June 26, when they return to the Magic City for three games. The Barons. in the meantime, journey to New Orleans next month for series of three games.
 Today the lowly Mobile Gulls come 10 town. Matty Mcintyre and hls Gulls recently gave the Barons a good licking and fans are interested to see with what sort of team Me Intyre was able to smother the strong local aggregation. The Gulls are dolding the cellar in the league race and come to Redwood fresh with four defeats on their brow from the At lanta Crackers
 Moley will probably work Howard Douglas in the opener today. He may send Karl Black against the Birds, however. Douglas, being the only re- cruit left in camp, is practically cer- tain to get a chance to display his wares while the Gulls are in camp.
 The Gulls are here for three games. Then comes Roy Ellam and his crowd of squirting Vols. The Vols will play here Thursday, Friday and Saturday
 Mcintyre will probably work Joe Wiley or Cy Pieh against the Barons today. The former will probably draw the hurling duties as he has not ap- peared on the hill since last Wednes- day. when he defeated the New Or leans Pelicans. Today's game will start promptly at S:S0 o'clock

CENT A POUND RISE
 WAS RECORDED IN
 COTTON FOR WEEK
Market Is Now Expected to Depend Almost Entirely On the Weather and
 Planting Reports

New Orleans, April 29.-A cent a pound rise was recorded in the cotton market last week on the strongest months, Oc- tober and December both showing net gain of exactly 100 points at their high est levels. Closing prices were at a net rise of e7 to go points. The lowest prices were made around the opening of the week and highest on the closing session.
 The rising tendency was due in large measure to talk of reduced acreage, owing to large planting of food and feed crops. but on the closing session fear of cold weather in sections where young cotton is up and greatly improved de- mand fcsl spots were the supporting in- fluences. Spot sales last week were the largest for single week in months. the total being 19,S0S bales on the spot and 789 to arrive.
 War conditions caused condition in the early part of the week and many traders were anxious to see how financial con ditions would be affected by the war loan. The great number of vessels lost by the activity of submarines also worked for caution and it was even predicted in some quarters that steamship lines would cancel sailings as the result of recent losses of tonnage. Much to the surprise of the trade, however, the export move ment of the week amounted to Ss,OS6 bales as against receipts at all ports for the week of only 62,01S bales
 This week the market probably will be more of weather affair than it has been and the opening prices of the week probably will depend largely on how far south in the belt low temperatures are reported to have struck. Much will de- pend upon the progress of planting from TOW on and the weekly crop and weather accounts from the government this week will be of increased value.
 Bulls are confident the spot demand will continue in the near future as they believe that considerable May business has to be filled.

RUSSIAN DEMAND
 IS GOING ID TAX
 STEEL PRODUCTION
Manufacturers Are Afraid That This New Market Will Make More Than
 Can Be Supplied

New York April 29.-The prospect of having to furnish more than 500,o00 tons of steel for construction of Russian cars and locomotives in this country in ad- dition to meeting domestic and foreign obligations already contracted for is causing concern in the steel trade. The present government requirements of l. 500,00o tons of bars, plates, shapes, sheets, wire, tin plate tubes, rails and miscel- laneous products can be taken care of, but the steel makers say the orders for Russia at this time will overtax their resources.
 The committee of the steel companies appointed to apportion the government tonnage among the mills met Friday and virtually completed their work Brob- ably more than 50 per cent of the steel needed will be furnished by the United States Steel corporation subsidiaries.
 Steelmakers are also concerned over the fresh railroad embargoes on freight shipments from the Pittsburg district.
 The mills are choked with finished products awaiting distribution and it may become compulsory to cut down out put.
 Orders for cars this month have been less than 6000 and orders for 5000 tons of steel for this construction have been placed Locomotive builders have accepted contracts for 300 engines this month, but ITO are for foreign roads, including 11s more for Russia
 Railroad buying of rails this week amounted to 250,000 tons Track supplies also are more active and prices of tie plates. rail joints and frogs and switches are 20 per cent higher Light rails are 5 per ton higher. Other steel products are rising in price; bars are up s, shapes $5 to $S and plates $10 per ton on mini mum quotation mill shipment and S5 to $lo per ton on warehouse shipment
 Pig iron sales this week amounted to lSuooos tons, the greatest activity being ill the interior The eastern markets are relatively quiet.
