 Higher quotations on hogs lifted pro- visions. Advances, however, were more or less checked by the weakness of grain

New York. April While there was much less excitement and huctua- tons were Jess violent, the cotton lHar- ket showed continued nervousness car ly today. First prices were 13 points tower on May, but from to 22 points net higher during the first few min utes. May rallied from 2S.SG to 29.0S, while July sold at 2S.66 and October lat 2172: hut this was nlllUil better than due on the sowing of Liverpool and prices soon turned easier under irealfingz Some of the early buyers also turned sellers as prices eascd and before the end of the first hour July or 12 to 20 points net lower The opening advance was encouraged by bullish overnight spot advices, but the unsettled ruling of Liverpool and ia vorslblc crop news led to a renewal of pressure on the rally of no to 172 points from yesterdays low level.
 The reaction from the opening ad vance carried July off to 2S.40 and Oc- 1Ober to 27.3S, or 12 or 19 points net lower. There was renewal of Liver pool selling on this setback but the market fiimcd up later on the weekly report of the weather bureau. This indicated that cons siderable rcplanting would be necessary because of recent | low temperatures in the belt and led to furry of covering which sent July up to 291I and October to 2S.04, or 59 10 G4 points net higher on the general list The advance was checked at this level by reaiiing aznd reactions fol lowed under selling which came partly from the South.
