HEAVY BREAK IN
 RUSSIAN EXCHANGE
Stock Market Bull and Spec ulative Through Uncer-
 tain Conditions

New York, May 11-High grade stocks, especially rails, were subjected to re- newed pressure in today's bull and spec ulattve market, the selling being again attributed to impending uncertainties at home and abroad
 The feeling of unsettlement was heightened by another break in Russian exchange, rubles falling to the unprece- dented level of 25%, or about half their value in normal times. In direct advices from northern centers little hope of im- mediate change from the chaotic con ditions so long prevalent in eastern Eu- rope.
 More gold, to the amount of SIS, 400, 900. was received here for account of the . British government, making total of almost S5O,0O0,000 on the new movement. This was partly offset by further trans fers of the metal to the Pacific coast. presumably for Japan, and additional withdraws from the subtreasury for points not stated.
 Call money was easy, but time sub scriptions were inclined to harden. prob- anly Tn consequence of forecasts indcat- Ing another heavy cash loss by local banks in tomorrow's clearing house state ment Any contraction in this item will result largely from large gold payments to the federal reserve bank.
 Aside from the declines in rails. which ranged from l to 2 points in St. Paul Reading, New York Central and Canadian Pacific, utilities were most adversely af- fected American Telephone and Tele- graph was increasing active at a gross : recession of 3% points to 116A, the lowest price in almost two years, and fractions were easier.

 Metals, related equipments, shippings and over score of popular specialties also forfeited forenoon advances of 1 to points, the market closing with a heavy tone. Total sales amounted to 435, 900 shares.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

.ket was quiet today but advanced some 30 points on covering by some of the local sellers, who appeared to be inn pressed with fresh peace rumor, which appeared in the morning papers Outside business was not large and there ap- peared to be decidedly less trade demand, while there was some selling from the south on fthe advance Weather condi- tions generally speaking are more favor- able. as temperatures are higher and further rains fell in the southwest. There are many indications of pause in gen eral business as a result of the drastic taxation which has been proposed, but as yet this has had the effect rather of checking outside speculative demand than of causing any active liquidation.

AYerY'S Letter

Further short covering over the week end, bullish consumption figures, some bad weather, more peace talk and a de- sire to even up over the census bureau Monday were the features in the cotton market today, which caused a substan- tial bulge in prices.
 These things, with the exception of the weather and the peace talk are all purely technical. After a bear week, profit talk ing Is natural Nothing has transpired as yet to improve the spot demand on the shipping situation and these will have to improve, otherwise the advance will not hold.
 Bank reserves above legal requirements as shown by the New York Analist are under the low of last year. This is natu- rally the result of the war loan, and was to be expected, but even though it was expected, it presages higher interest rates and tighter money.
 In November last year when this same barometer went to the present percent age. 1t preceded the December break in cotton.
 definite prospect of peace in the im- mediate future is about the only thing that would be decidedly bullish at pres- ent. c. F. AVERY.
