New York, May s1.-rrading in stocks during the greater part of to- days unsettled session was influenced almost entirely by war conditions, which effected early recessions of to 3 points in important issues. In the final hour the market was enlivened by a buoyant advance in shippings, which carried most of those shares far above final prices of the previous session.
 Marine preferred on accumulation of the most confidential character made a net gain of SIS points to 1os%. the common gaining As and the per cent bonds A.
 The movement in marines coincided with meeting of the directors, at which progress in the proposed sale of the company's British tonnage to British financial interests was re- ported.
 Other active stocks experienced re- bound from minimum levels. these for the most part, however, being relative ly nominal.

Over w. E. CampbelYs Wire

New Orleans, May S1--Todays cotton market was an irregular and unsettled affair, with contracts showing wide losses and spots wide gains. July was much stronger than the new crop months.
 In the spot department quotations were again revised, widening differences be- tween grades and reports from the in terior indicated that this was a general movement, lower grades being at wider discounts nearly everywhere. The favor able weather over the belt, the unfav- orable war news and expectations of a high condition report Tuesday were the bearish influences of the session. The strength of spots was the one bullish in- fluence of importance.
 On the/first call July was 3 points up. but other months were off and after the call the decline was gradually widened At the lowest of the day active months were e to S5 points below Wednesdays s close. Much of the selling was apparent ly for short account, but the gossip Of the market had it that Wednesday buyers were letting go and there seemed to be some liquidation of q general na- ture in preparation of the double holl- days at the end of the week ana the bureau report immediately following
 Shots were marked 100 points up on all grades down to and including low mid- ding and 50 points up on grades below low middling. This put middling to BOG pound, which compared with 2o.I5c on July immediately after the quoting of tho spot market. Late in the day July was IS points over Wednesdays close. but new crops were 40 to 60 points un- der. We continue to advise against sell ing discounts:-Shepard & Gluck.

Marine preferred made net gains of 97sc, while common went up 4ssc. The moderate rally of sEhe noon-hour proved of short duration, prices reacting again on very dull positions. Industrials failed to hold, despite the hopeful conditions referred to by representatives of the steel indus try and rails were under greater pres sure.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. Nay s1.-Cables this morn ing were higher than due, which is not surprising. as the supply of cotton in Liverpool steadily shrinks. This is so we'll recognIzed that the foreign market no longer has the influence which it once had Here, there appeared to be selling orders from the south where the weather was good over the holidays, while the unfavorable war news checked the out side speculative demand which appeared earlier in the week. There Is, of course slow absorption of fall contracts by the mills. but this buying is still very gradual and there has so far been enough cotton for sale to supply this demand rather easily. Another private estimate of the condition of the crop came out with figures above the 10-year average. but attracted comparatively little attention The local feeling is that the purely spec u.atire short interest was almost elim- mated ny the recent advance. At the same time sentiment Is not particularly bearish. as it is realized we are only at the opening of the season.
