without saying. In the early hours it

New Orleans Cotton


New Orleans, April 15.--Repeated
and wide breaks were made in cotton
values here today in smashing reac
ton from the long advance which,
until recently, was in evidence almost
every session. Following a very brief
period of steadiness soon after the
general selling and the pressure was
continued until the close, which was
at the lowest levels of the day. 141 to
1913 points under Saturdays close, and
III to 230 points under the highest
levels made today. One of the wild
est declines ever scored in a single
day
On the close the market stood $40 to
527 points under the highest levels
of the season, reached on April A.,
representing a loss of just about $26
a bale in IL days.
There seemed no special surface rea-
sons for the selling and the offer
ings came from no particular quar-
ter. Selling was general and appeared
to come from all directions and the
developments of the day were gener-
ally accepted as being simply another
phase of the reaction from the long
advance which put contract prices to
the highest levels ever known.
On the opening there was a fall Of

Immediately after the first call on

Hubbard Bros. e Co.'S Letter

New York, April IA reaction came
to the market at the opening, which
was met by such a flood of selling orders
from the south against unhedged spots
from Liverpool and from the concentrated
long interest that has been liquidating
for the past few days. that the buying
by spinners' brokers was not sufficient
to check the decline excepting in q tenn
porary manner from time to time. Rains
over Texas since Saturday added to the
weakness. though. the crop situation re-
ceived little attention nor did the ex-
port figures given in the government
census report which would indicate some
close was weak under heavy selling from
Liverpool. Traders are stunned by the
continued pressure which would seem to
indicate that there was more unhedged

STEEL COMMON WAS
GIVEN LEADERSHIP
Bond Market Was Rather
Mixed, With the Liberties
Tending Toward Firmer

New York, April 15.-A perceptible
quickening of trading mostly at ma
terial advances. accompanied today's
session of the stock market. The re-
assuring nature of foreign advices was
a potent factor and domestic happen
ing also served to stimulate the broad
er demand.
Chairman Gary's references to the
future dividends at the annual meet
ing of the United States Steel cor
poration and his statement outlining
the corporations shipbuilding activi-
ties gave impetus to steel common,
that stock being restored to it's wonted
leadership at a net advance of points.
The more extreme gains were made
by various speculative shares in which
large short interest is believed to
exist Distillers added 4 n points to

Rails were backward at the start,
but Canadian Pacific soon rose IA
points on comparatively few transac-
tions, and coalers responded to the
March statement of anthracite produe-
ton at an advance of as much.
Shippings and motors also were hes
liant at the outset, but came forward
with the metal group in the active IL
nal hour, the entire list then recording
maximum quotations..
Conditions in the bond market were
slightly mixed, liberty issues tending
towards firmness, the foreign group
