COTTON MARKET
 HAS SHARP BREAK General List Closes 59 to 80 Points Below Closing of
 Previous Day

New York, May s1.-Thcre was a sharp advances before the holiday appeared to have left contracts in an easier tech nical position and prices weakened under renewed selling encouraged by bearish weather and crop advices. July contracts broke from 25.S5c to 24.Soc, and closed at 25.O1c, with the general list closing steady at net decline of 59 to 80 points
 The market opened irregular with July 20 points higher on renewed covering. but later months were points higher to points lower, and July soon weak ened with the rest of the list.
 Later there was very little support and prices sold off rapidly under realizing by recent buyers for turn. Stop orders were uncovered on scale down, with the break extending to 23.60c for october and 2s.4oc for December, or about 7s to so points net lower. There was luil in the selling movement at this level and prices rallied some 35 or 45 points during the early afternoon, on tho continued bullish average of spot news and cover ings by early sellers. The firmer tone in the stock market and New Orleans buying helped the bulge but as soon as covering subsided, the market eased of again with some of the later months reaching the lowest levels in the days late trading. No further private condi- tion reports were published, but it was rumorcd that local authority made the condition S1, and local traders were talk ing of q government report of or points above the 10-year average.

Small American Steamer
 Said to Have Been Sunk

An Atlantic Port. May s1.-The Ameri- can steamer Amackissen, a vessel of 26S tons gross. formerly running between New York and Hastings-on- Hudson, was sunk by a German submarine in the ear ly part of April with possible loss of all but one of her crew of 20, according to Edward Madison, the survivor, who arrived here today on an Italian ship. The Amackissen was taken over by the United shipping board last October and was sent to Italy in December.
 Madison, who was oiler on the ship, said the vessel was destroyed while on q voyage from Gibraltar to Genoa T Was in the engine room when suddenly there came an explosion, which blew the Aniackissen to splinters.'' he said. II found myself floating alone and was picked up seven hours later by a British patrol boat from the wreckage to which was clinging. I have heard reports that some of the others were saved, but could not confirm them. The majority of the men were from New York ahd vicinity
 Officers of the New York and Hast ings Steamboat company. former owners of the Amackissen. said they had re- ceived no word of the loss of the vessel.

CORN AND OATS GO
 ID NEW LOW LEVELS
Provisions Sympathized With Corn and Oats and
 the Decline in Hogs

Chicago. May 3i.-Lowest prices yet this season resulted in the corn market today from weather conditions ideal for the growing crop. The close was unsettled 1M to 24s net lower, with June H.SiA and July s1.S2A to s1.s27s. Oats finished 7sc to 33sc down and provisions varying from l7c, decline to 35c advance.
 High temperatures following the recent period of wetness made the outlook de- cidedly bearish In regard to corn. The consequence was stream of selling or ders to commission houses. and there seemed no doubt that much of the pres sure was in the direction of liquidating long contracts. Support of a substantial character failed to develop until descent of more than Sc a bushel had taken place. Even then the principal buying came from shorts who desired to col lect profits Rallies which ensued were of relatively moderate extent and not aggressively held, owing somewhat to slowness of cash inquiry and to enlarge ment of receipts
 Oats, like corn, dropped to new low levels for the session. Shorts did not wait for eleventh-hour settlement of con- tracts, and there was no new incentive to holders.
 Provisions sympathized with the weak ness of grain and with the decline in hog values as compared with Wednes- day.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 31.--An irregular and unsettled feeling took possession of the cotton market today, spots be- ing up while contracts were down. In the contract department July was much stronger than the new crop months but the final prices for the day showed a general decline of from Is to 93 points, compared with the closing quo- tations of Wednesday.
 The favorable weather over the belt the unfavorable war news and expec- tations of high condition report were the main selling influences, The only supporting influence of consequence was the strength of the spot situation. On the opening call July was points up but other months were off and the decline continued on some months. un- til the close. At the lowest levels ac- tive months were 52 to 93 points be- low Wednesdays close.
 A short lived period of steadiness followed the quoting of spots and here July went IS points over Wednesdays last quotations while the distant months were still 40 to 60 points. Spot quotations were revised, grades down to and including low middling being advanced 100 points while grades be- low low middling were advanced 50 points. This additional discount on the low grades the bulls claimed was a favorable development but it, like the lifting of spot prices, did not bring any buying power of consequence.

Dun's Review

New York. May 3i,-Dun's tomorrow will say:
 The more complete concentration of the nations industrial forces on war activi- ties. necessitating many revolutionary changes, is being accomplished steadi- ly, and with minimum of disturbance. Extension of government domination of business to meet the exigencies of the period is reflected in the continued re- adjustments In both production and dis tribution and the situation has been fur ther facilitated by the improvement on railroad and wages, new taxation meas ure. while the result of prices of vari- ous commodities has been halted through official regulation or from other causes. manufacturing and mercantile profits are large in many instances, as reports of earnings testify. and the May insolv- ency returns disclose the smallest num- Der of commercial reverses for the month In fully decade.

Weekly Cotton Report

New York, May 31.-Much of the bus |iness in the cotton market during the past week has been considered in the nature of evening up commitments for lover the approaching government crop report. According to local brokers the decline eliminating around 23.05c for July contracts during the previous week, had left the market in strong CT technical position and the evening |up process consequently took the form of covering with the demand for that account stimulated by reports of a firm spot situation. It seemed. also that |fgures showing a rapidly increasing prediction of ocean tonnage were ere |ating more optimistic view of export possibilities, and there apepared to be
 a feeling in some quarters that the re- cent decline of about 10c per pound
 from the high prices of the season had lover discounted favorable condition figures. At any rate, the market de-
 veioped considerable strength with July
 selling to 25.S5c at the opening this
 morning, of 280 points above the low level of a week ago Thursday. The fail
 ure of bearish private condition re-
 ports and the continued good weather
 
 factor during the earlier part of the
 week, but the covering movement had evidently pretty well run it's course be-
 fore the Memorial Day adjournment land there were sharp reactions during
 today's trading. Several private crop reports have been published ranging from 7S.7 to ST as to condition, com pared with 69.5, the official figures of last year, and 70 the 10year average.
 Private crop estimates have ranged
 from 99.9 per cent of last years to an increase of per cent. There will be no acreage estimates from the gov ernment until the beginning Of July
 The first official condition figures of the season will be published on Tues day, with local traders talking a re- port 2 to 3 points better than the 10-
 year average. or betwe enS0 and S3 per cent. Nervousness over the war situation and reports of pending of- fcial investigation of exchanges prob ably promoted the disposition to even up contracts. but the main factors have been considered the conflicting in-
 iuences of crop and spot news.
