MARKET REVIEW
STOCKS AND BONDS

New York, June 2-All other cousidera- tions of very nervous ard excited week in the stock market were suhordfnated to the resumption of the German offen- sive in France and the administration s plans for immediate financial legislation
 Which of these proved most potent it was difficult to say, but between the two prices frequently f1uctuated with extreme violence, recovering their edui- Hbrium in part towards the close of the week.
 Although the foremost financial and industrial interests of the country seemed in sympathy with Washington's legis- ative programme, the probable effect of the proposed measures was not over looked, especially by the formidable ell ement committed to the short account
 Fundamental conditions as represent ed by fine crop prospects, and relative ease of money, were balanced by gen. eral trade developments. which reported further expansion of business in lines directly related to the war, but greater restriction on products of civilian or non- essential variety.
 On the authority of the executives of the country's leading steel mills a more harmonious and equitable understanding now exists with Washington, insuring profitable business in that industry for an indefinite period.
 Failure of the war board to grant an increase of copper prices is likely to cause unsettlement in that quarter, how ever, some of the smaller producers and refiners having announced their intention to temporarily suspend operations,

COTTON

New Orleans, June 2.Although it moved over range of 19o to l55 points last week, the cotton market showed 2S points higher to 36 points lower than the close of the preceding week. It was q week of irregular fluctuations, July showing more strength than the new crop months. At the highest the trading months were go to 100 points oyer last weeks close and at the lowest they were 9 to AS points under.
 Bearish expectations concerning the first condition report of the season. fa- vorable weather over the belt and the unfavora ble war news were the main selling features. The strength of the spot situation was the chief steadying influence. Spots rose 125 points during the week, on middling, which closed at 30 cents as against the closing price of 2510c for July.
 This week the market will not open un- til Tuesday, because of the observance
 in this state of June as Memorial day The opening of the week will be affected by the condition report from the govern ment Tuesday morning, which carries the crop down to May p. While the con dition a year ago was only 6S.5 per cent of the normal, trade expectations re- ganlng the pendlnS IlgureS are nucH higher and the 10-yar average of 79 per cent is generally used as the logical basis of comparison Private estimates on con- dition have ranged all the way from 79S up to S7, with the majority 80 or above. Market opinion at the end of the week was that it would require figures
 above so to put the price lower and fig ures below so to cause rise.
 After the report, the main influences promise to be he weather and war news. 1 The spot situation holds possibilities, but June generally is a quiet month in the spot department

Shepherd & GIuck Letter

The following is Saturdays market let ter of Shepherd & Gluck. New Orleans. over w. E. Campbells wire:
 Cotton had a lower trend today, open ing at the decline and standing at the decline throughout the session. Selling was heavy, partly because of increased bearish antcipations regarding the bu- reau and rartly because of the unfavora- ble character of war news. The mar ket had little support at any time and rapidly fell away until at the middle of the session 1t was 34 to GO points off Here shorts were profit takers and their operate s served tN check the downward movement, but without causing any re- action Of consequence.
 The we, ther map was called very favor able, only light showers being reported in western belt, while the eastern belt was dry. The dry weather for other belt. Crop accounts are uniformity favorL ported from towns in Louisiana. Private estimates on condition still show a ten dency to remain above the 10-year aver age and if the guesses from private bu- reaus are anything to go by, the report Tuesday morning must be above 79 to cause any further declixe. Many pri- vate estimates are we'll up In the sos, one estimate being as high as 87 per cent for normal The conditions report from the government is due at 10 o'clock Tues day morning Monday will be holiday in this market. Our view is that little can be said about probable course of prices until the bureau report now pend- ing is out of the way.
