Food Administrations Or. der on Flour Substitutes
 Was a Big Feature

Chicago. May 11.-Announcement ny
 the food administration that flour sub stitutes must sell 10 cents below wheat
 cost, had a depressing influence today
 on the corn market. Largely as a re-
 suit corn closed unsettled 2sc net lower to kc advance, with May, s1.275s and July s1.4S1s 1s O s1.43A. Oats lost X co 2c and provisions S2@6oc. Notice of the fresh measures which the food administration was putting forth to curb prices of cereals came opportunely for the bears at time when demand for immediate delivery of coarse grains was limited. Likelihood that planting would be in full swing next week counted also in turning the corn market down grade. Besides, weather conditions showed notable im- provement and there were reports that all descriptions of feed were being freely offered at reduced prices. Toward the last of the session many early sellers attempted to take profits,
 and this action led to moderate re- covery, but the fact that receipts for the week were considerably larger than during the corresponding time last year. formed check on the up- turns.
 Oats duplicated the weakness of corn. About the only shipping busi- ness reported was on a 60-day basis at relatively low figures.
 Provisions dropped with hogs and grain.

Weekly Financial Review

New York. May 1.-The constructive
 and helpful tenor of the weeks many
 developments accounted largely for the
 extraordinary activity and vigorous rise
 in stocks. those being further enhanced by favorable technical conditions. Tho amazing success of the Liberty
 Loan campaign, the additional check to
 the German offensive excellent crop prospects and the forward strides re- ported in various industries, emboldened
 speculative interests to a degree not wit
 messed before this year. That banking interests were not altogether averse to the bull movement was indicated by the stable monetary conditions, albeit time
 money remained firm, with no increa SC of offerings.
 United States Steel's undisputed leader ship at on extreme advance of over F points was accompanied by gains of 3 to 10 points elsewhere.
 Encouragement extended to rails also in consequence of the receipt of numer- ous new March statements of earnings In well-informed circles belief in an eaf- lily advance of freight rates was general. Further reaction in Liberty Bonds, which later embraced the 4As at extreme declines of 6-10 per cent, again lacked iexplanation, but had little effect upon the investment market. Foreign remit tances were unchanged.

SPECIAL ISSUES

Rails and Coppers Heavy, But Were Overbalanced
 by Other Leaders

New York, May 1.-The stock market gan, on wave of bullish enthusiasm which carried numerous special issues to highest levels of the year.
 There were some offsetting features, such as the relative heayiness of ralls and eoppers. but these were more than overbalanced by the strength in all other quarters of the list.
 United States Steel was again in the forefront, advancing from it's low ot 1pyss to 169A. within small fraction of its current maximum, closing at it's best virtually.
 Oils, sugars. tobaccos and shippings, the latter represented by Marine pre- ferred, were the other conspicuoCsly strong features, retaining the better part of their gains of l1a to points. DistiGers Securities was second in activity to Steel at an extreme advance of points. Backwardness of rails and metals re- suited fl om disappointing of the failure of the Washington authorities to an- nounce higher transportation rates and to the less favorable quarterly statements of the larger copper producing com panies.

 Prospects of unfavorable weather for the entire belt over Sunday were en- tirely overlooked in the selling Hurry of the morning. A storm area is now entering the belt from the west and 1t promises to cover the entire cotton country.

 The chances are that Mondays mar ket will open on wet map. wet weather is the last thing desired in the belt just now. The warm. dry weather
 of this last week has brought up a world of cotton, and telegrams which we saw today stated that in many sections farmers are planning to begin cultivation of the crop next week. Wet weather would prevent this and would accentuate an already bad labor situation. Our view is that there will be no holding the market down if the expected rains materialize.

SELLING MOVEMENT
 IN COTTON MARKET
List Closes 25 to 65 Points Down From the Previ-
 ous Day

New York, May 1.-The selling movement which developed in the cot ton market late yesterday was con- tinued today and there was further sharp break in prices. July contracts sold off to 25.90c. making decline of s3 per bale from yesterdays close and of 1S4 points from the high level of 259Sc, with the general 1fsl closing steady at a net decline of 25 to 50 points.
 There appeared to be a good many
 overnight selling orders at the open ing, and first prices were 22 to 3S points lower. The selling was encour- aged by better weather map than ex- pected, as it showed no indication Of the frosts which had been predicted for the southwest There was also southern selling here and selling by trade interests believed to be against purchases of spots in the south. This seemed to create an impression that the recent rally had brought spots out more freely and there was very lit tie demand in evidence until prices were selling some 50 to 66 points un- der last nights closing.
 There was sufficient covering to cause slight rallies from this level, but the bulges were barely maintained, and the market was still unsettled in the late trading. October sold as low as 25.20c and closed at 2524c. May was relatively quiet and steady, showing the minimum loss at the close While selling was stimulated by the favorable weather map, local brokers were inclined to attribute the break to an easier technical position after last weeks rally of nearly Sc per pound from recent low levels. There was con- siderable selling for southern account, both this morning and late yesterday,
 which suggested hedging against ac- tual, and Japanese interests were cred |ited with selling July against spot purchases.

McAdoo. Administrator

From McAdoo-Administrat Dyna-
 mo-" by Richard M Winans, in Phys ical Culture.
 There is one thing quite characteristic of the Secretary. He is an exceptionally fast thinker Generally he has thought and spoken before the other man starts thinking. He gives rapid-fire decisions, and they are final. Frequently these come before a statement has been fully presented. Easing his deductions on the initial premise of a proposition, he an ticipates the argument. He intuitively senses the other mans process of req soning. He grasps suggestions by pages rather than by lines. He sees things lin the hig rather than in detail
 MT. McAdoo also has a facclty "f making others think as he does upon questions of import That, however, is due largely to his irresistible charm with men. He has way of converting others to his way of thinking without their realizing that it is the Secretary rather .han their own conscious Will which has effected the change. And he accomplishes this without making them feel that they have been antagonized. It is said that some of the most notably wilful men in the United States Senate have gone into MT. McAdoo's office de- termined upon convincing him that cer- taiA thin.ss should be or should not be done thus and so, and that these same men have emerged smiling and appAr- ently quite pleased with the conviction that after all they were wrong and that Mr McAdoo was quite right in the ar guments which had changed their view point. However, it may be further said. that frequently it is not so much the argument as the irresistible charm oi MT. McAdoo's personality which has l influenced their change of front.
 Putting aside the consideration~of Mir. McAdoo as a mental dynamo. the charm ing personality of the Secretary has carried him far. with the promise that one day it will carry him to the head
 of the national administration.

 Such rapid fluctuations are the out come Of the combination of war and weather market. In which 1t IS most difficult to apply the ordinary ideas of business.

 the new crop.
 The decline continued until after
 the middle of the morning. when it was checked by the forecast of wet weather
 for nearly all states in the belt and
 by the unexpected rise of 25 points in spot quotations. reaction from the decline occurred, which for sharpness
 compared with the slumps of the ear ly trading. Toward the close the
 market was helped to some extent by interior reports telling of continued good demand for the actual stuff The
 comparatively small tonnage losses
 for April, as reported by the French
 government, also were regarded favor able.
