RALLIES OCCUR IN
 BOTH CORN AND. OATS
Small Receipts of Corn and Congestion in May Oats
 Are Features

Chicago. May 15.-Lightness of re- the bearish effects of weather favorable for planting The result was an unset tied close, May s1.27s4 and July $l .435s to $l 435s, with the finish as a whole tsc off to like advance, compared with 2i hours before. Oats gained 1zIssc to 11sc net In provisions, the outcome varied from Toe decline to a rise of 27c.
 Prevailing warmth and sunshine put the corn market under considerable sell ing pressure during the first half of the session. Decided setbacks in prices re- suited but enlarged demand for imme- diate delivery of corn became manifest in the later trading, when notice was di- rected to the fact that fresh supplies in Chicago today amounted to only 6t cars, At the same time gossip was current that the movement from rural sources would remain small until after planting was out of the way Ensuing upturns in values carried the July option mod erately above yesterdays latest figures, but the gains were not held.
 Congestion in May contracts led to ad- vances in all deliveries of oats. Asser- tions that the government was about to allot important orders counterbalanced to some extent weakness which provisions displayed owing to the official curb on prices to retailers.

WEATHER MANPU1S
 A CR|MP IN COTTON
All Deliveries Affected and List Closed AT to 60
 Points Down

New York, May 15.-The feature of the cotton market today was the weekly re- port of the weather bureau, which read more favorably than expected, and was followed by q further sharp break in prices. July contracts sold off to 24.soc, or 70 points below the closing figure of yesterday, and back to within 45 points of the lowest price touched on the decline of May 4.
 That delivery closed at 25c, with the general list closing steady at net de- cline of 47 to 50 points
 The. market opened steady at net de- cline of 3 to points and sold S5 to 39 points below last nights closing. X rally of several points followed as re- suit of covering in advance of the week. ly crop report, but sentiment was bearish and as soon as the weekly statement was published, prices broke under heavy gem eral offerings. This report stated that weather for the last week had been more previously this season. and led to talk of a favorable May 25 condition report from the government.
 There was some southern selling and also selling for Liverpool account, in ad- dition to heavy offerings from houses with Wall street and western connec- tions. October contracts broke to 24c and December to 23. COG, with active months generally showing net losses of 70 to IS points and declines of about PEG per pound from the high level of last Friday In the cast of October con- tracts this carried the market back to within 25 points of the low level reached on the break at the beginning of the month. The volume of offerings then subsided and there were rallies in the later trading on covering. Some trade buying was reported of october on de- clines to around the 24c level, but other wise support was attributed chiefly to realizing by recent sellers.

Over ". E. CampbeIrs Wire

New Orleans, May 15.-The market for cotton was depressed today by heavy selling which started first on the favor able weather map and was increased by the unexpectedly favorable statement of the crop accounts from the government, the main feature of which was the state ment in the summary wired out of Wash ington that the last week was the most favorable of the season thus far
 This we think was not at all justified by the bureaus own reports, state by state
 Opening at the decline the market grad ually widened it's loss until it stood ~ to 76 points under the close of yester- day.
 In the afternoon the ring presented an oversold appearance and those who tried to take profits on short contracts put prices up on themselves, a recovery Of nearly half cent resulting.
 It is now mainly a weather market, and weather conditions at the moment un' questionably are better than they have been, but that is no reason, of course, for believing that they will remain fa- vorable Spots continue to refuse to fol- low contracts, the market again being quoted unchanged today.
 This widening out of the discount on contracts is as strong an argument against following the decline to far 2s it ever was Technically, the market again is very strong and we look Tor sharp upturns in the price on the first developments of a favorable nature. It should be remembered that May is one of the critical months of the growing season. and that May is only half over.- Shepard 6 Gluck.

New York, May 15.-Greater breadth at tended todayss stock market dealings, although the volume of operations was slightly under recent large totals Rails relinquished much of yesterdays prom thence and strength after the first hour, when var shares again dominated the market.
 United States Steel had several formi- dable rivals in respect to activity, and was far out-distanced in strength by Baldwin Locomotive. which made an ex- treme gain of 913q97, while Midyale Steel at an advance of 934 rose to As4 Mid vale's rise was accompanied by reports shat the government proposes to erect a glant for it's use
 Other notably strong and active in dustrials included Colorado Fuel, Great >5orthern Ore and Crueible, Lackawanna and Gulf States Steel, these gaining to points.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 15.--Further selling pressure was felt by cotton today. The downward movement of yesterday was carried over. the opening being at the de- cline, and the loss was widened until, to- ward the middle of the day, the active months were 70 to 76 points under the last quotations of yesterday. For a while. in the afternoon, there was a steadier feeling, with recovery of about 50 points, but offerings increased toward the end, so that the close was irregular at a net decline for the ses- sion of 69 to "A points.
 Offerings were stimulated by the un- favorable weather map around the open ing and later by the expectedly unfavor- able showing of the weekly crop accounts from the government. The summary sent out from Washington. especially, was written in a much more optimistic way than any class of traders anticipated the last week being referred to as the most favorable of the season.
 Steadiness in the afternoon was due to profit taking on short contracts and to the strength of spots, at market refusing to follow the decline in contracts. Quo- tations were unchanged, at 29. 25c for middling.

Hubbard Bros. R Co.'S Letter

New York, May 15.--fSpec1aT.J--The market this morning was easier in con sequence of another good weather map and indifferent cables Later sharp decline was precipitated by the weekly weather report, which was decidedly more favorable than had been expected. Tn fact it was stated that the week had been most favorable growing weather of the season. This report brought scat tered southern selling and some out side liquidation. There did not appear to be any marked increase in the buy ing by the trade on the decline. The market was steadier in the afternoon. However as traders were not inclined to sell very freely in view of the eX- tent of the decline this week.

Cotton Goods

New York, May 15.-The cotton goods market here today continued holding it's firm tone with buying keeping about the same pace. Governmental needs dominated the market both buy CTS and sellers seeing no chance of a change except in intensification of this trend. Print cloths received some steady demand but there was notice- able tendency to let alone numbers wanted by the government. Shipping difficulties were given as the reason. Sheetings were firm at their former level with no great activity in evidence. Fine cottons were unchanged.

was strong. Liberty s15s sold at ss.s4@ ss; frsts 4s at s5.10@ 95.So; second 4s at 94.9o@9512, and IA at s7.74@ss.O6.
 With the weekly weather report bet ter than expected, the fleecy staple made a sharp clip downward. July went to S4.S0c, closing at 25c. The gem eral list was in sympathy and at the close was 47 to 50 points off. There seemed to be more buying around the 24c level for October, which was at tributed partly to trade account and prices ruled steadier during the early afternoon on reports of relatively steady sport markets. There was little southern selling.
 Small receipts of corn caused a bull ish day in the pit yesterday. May con tracts on oats are congested which led to advances all down the line, the list closing ssd1Bc up. Provisions were weak owing to the curb on prices to retailers.
