BAD PROSPECTS
 SEND UP GRAIN Freezing Weather for Both Corn and Oats Cause
 Good Gains

Chicago, May a.--Prospects of freezing temperatures that might seriously hinder planting brought about advances today in the corn market. Prices closed nerv- ous at same as yesterdays finish to 11fc higher, with May s1 271s and July S1 .47ssG1. 471h. Oats gained 9s6SAc to Pc net The outcome in provisions was a set back of Pc to 12c.
 Corn traders for the most part took the view that owing to seed scarcity the expected unreasonable cold would make the farmers much more cautious than usual about risking mishaps and that as result delay to planting seemed likely to be general A falling off in primary receipts tended also to handicap the bears. Offerings were light throughout the session and were at no time sufficient to cause any important reaction. Most of the demand came from shorts and during the last hour May delivery com manded the highest price reached so far on the crop.
 Oats advanced as a result largely of frost indications. Gossip of revival of export demand could not be confirmed.
 ttrovisions rose with grain, but on the bulge offerings increased and a decline followed, notwithstanding a late upturn in hog values and despite increased ship ments of lard and meats, as compared with last year

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 9--A higher trend resulted in cotton here today from buy ing based on rains and colder weather in the belt continued improvement in the spot situation and a favorable con- struction placed on war news from the western front In the afternoon especially shorts were large buyers of covers and this demand was largely Instrumental in putting active months S70S9 points above yesterdays last prices. The close showed net gains of S49S8 points. Highest levels were reached tomorrow at the end of the session and the lowest prices were made around the opening. At the low est active months were EOS points under yesterdays close.
 Some rain was shown on the weather map in the northern half of the east ern belt but this was lost sight of in view of the approach to the cot ton region of an area of low pressure, which many traders thought meant un- welcome rains. Uneasiness over the disturbance was increased by the cold wave following the storm. The feature of spot accounts was their mention of an improved inquiry. in the interior. for the lower grades. Locally, spots were unchanged at 2S50c for middling.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. May s.-(Special.) Jour cablegran states that the advance in Liverpool was caused by the promuIga tion of more drastic regulations regard ing the importations of cotton. Here the market had advanced from the opening on the improvement abroad. on the idea that more rain might come from the low barometer in Kansas, on belief that the recent sales of cotton had been absorbed by strong hands. and finally on report that the allies had broken through the German lines. which rumor came from the stock mar ket. The local traders have looked for sharp recovery of this nature for several days. They thought the strength in the stock market would bring in buyers. Weather throughout the south continues favorable for the growth of the crop.

Over w. E. CampbelPs Wire

New Orleans, May 9.-A much better feeling took possession of the cotton market today following the weekly re- port on weather by the government The official crop accounts were even more unfavorable than expected and they made it plain that the crop this last week made little, if any, real progress.
 The outstanding feature of the re- ports was to be found in the summary in the following sentence: "The stand of cotton is generally poor and much replanting is necessary; the growth in slow"
 In the early trading the dry and warm weather over the belt, as indi- cated by the map, caused a drop of 27 to 31 points and it was evident that the bear contingent was planning to off set any unfavorable features in the weekly returns by playing up the good weather now prevailing over the belt The weekly reports, however, were so much worse than anticipated that any aggressive moves on the short side were blocked; all of the early decline was recovered and the market went to a net advance which late in the day, amounted to 27 to 47 points over yesterdays close.
 The new crop has received a severe setback from wet and cold weather from which it's recovery is very slow.
 The first planting was done under most favorable conditions but the early planted cotton over wide areas is failure.
 Since the first planting the labor sup ply of the south has been steadily de- pleted and prices have declined sharply, two factors which we believe will work against any great increase in acreage this season in the long run. The interior continues to report good spot demand. We have a favorable opin- ion. of the market.

Fleecy Staple for July Closes S2 Points Above Previ-
 OuS Close

New York, May 9.-There was a very sharp advance in the cotton market late today. Apprehensions of lower temper atures in the southwest and the con- tinued bullish average of spot advices had caused shorts some uneasness dur ing the morning and rumors of favorable war developments were followed by ex- cited buying later July contracts sold up to 26.30c, or & points above last nights colse and 195 points above the the low levels Of last Saturday. That de- livery closed at 262Sc, with the general list closing very steady at a net ad- vance of 75 to SS points.
 The market opened steady at a net advance of to points, and soon sold Some 9 to 27 points net higher Reia- lively steady Liverpool cables were at tributed to prospects for further restric- tions on British imports, and houses with Liverpool connections sold here probably in the expectation of wider differences. This helped to supply the early demand and fluctuations were somewhat irregular during the middle of the day, but the official forecast Tor cooler weather in the southwest was con sidered unfavorable, and the covering movement became very active during the middle of the afternoon.
 Stop orders were uncovered on the ad vance, which followed the rumors Of dissensions in German military circles and of British success on the western front, with the market reaching the highest level of the day in the late trad ing. May sold at 265Sc and closed at 26.6Sc bid, while October touched 5bsc and closed at 25e3c A little southern selling of July was reported during the early trading, but spot house brokers were buyers of October, and general busi- ness was quiet. Wall street houses were buyers on the afternoon and the strength of the stock market may have had some- thing to do with cotton.
 Future quotations were as follnws.

going to 26.3oc, or S2 points over the previous figures. Rumors of dissension in German military circles and of British successes on the western front were fol- lowed by furry of covering during the early afternoon. Stop orders were uncovered on the advance which followed these lrumors. Wall street did little buying for itself in the afternoon.
 Prospects of a freeze in the corn belt that would hinder planting sent the staple up for rise of 11ac. Seed scarci- ty also figured largely'in the days trans actions. Indications of frost put the up- ward slant to oats to the extent of 2c. Provisions rose with grain; but on the bulge declines followed Pc to 12c. Hog values were upward
