Over S. r. Stewart & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, February 1.-The unfavor-
able reports from Washington on the
fuel and transportation situation, indi-
eating further loss in time by the mills,
and consequently in consumption. the
weather map showing snow at Amarillo
and Dallas, raining at San Antonio, and
continued severe weather over the mid
die and North Atlantic states; the ex-
pectation of bearsh weekly statistics
and further easinesS In low grade prices
were the influences affecting the mar
ket at the outset of today's session.
Opening a few points lower, there was
a rally OF 10 points on scalpers and
straddlers buying on steadiness at New
York but this was soon followed by
l5-pont drop. and after a little hesita-
ton there was further easiness to &5oc
foe May. The higher prices at New York
caused by the difficulty there of getting
cotton, are having a sympathetic effect
elsewhere but the difference in the situa-
ton of the two markets is becoming bet
ter understood generally.
The map shows cloudy most of the belt,
freezing temperatures in Texas, Arkan-
sas Oklahoma and Tennessee. 1ndica-
lions are for change to unsettled
warmer in the west over Sunday. Part
cloudy to fair colder eastern half.
The market settled around assoc for
May again, in a waiting attitude. The
large discount of futures under spot
conditions checks selling and is the
standing invitation to buy for rallies,
but sentiment is not any too strong. and
the market needs a line of better general
news to regain it's former confidence.
The spot situation is substantially un-
changed, except that prices are more ex-
clusively sustained by the high premium
paid for good cotton. Lower grades
are really neglected and lower to trade

facturers, particularly of textiles. find IL
necessary to cut down the number OF
orders accepted. In short. the question
is not one of getting business but OF
making even fairly prompt deliveries and
buyers who now Ahrong the principal
markets with a strong Alesire to get staple
textiles at advancing prices are having
the fact forced upon them that the mills
are chary about booking business for
delivery in accordance with the wishes
OF purchasers. There Is also more or leso
evidence OF the ultimate consumer exer-
cising conservation and at the same time
there is enough actual reduction in CIV
ilian demand for mons goods to mako
for irregularity. But against these man
ifestations are the conceded shortages Of
staples. the fear Of still higher prices
and the patent prosperity Of the working
classes and agricultural communities.
Consequently. while retail trade hardly
measures up to normal, many final pur~
veyors. recognizing the difficulty OF re-
placing stock, are not keen about con-

coffee operate under government license

necessity of a hedging market served to

WEATHER AND PEACE
AFFECT GRAIN PIT
Food Administration Re-
ported in Market for
Provisions
By BRIGGS

Chicago. February Peace gossip, to-
gether with moderating weather that
promised enlarged receipts gave the corn
market today a downward slant. Prices
closed easy, at the same as yesterdays
finish to sc lower at 81 .26a4 March. and
81 .24QD1 .24s4 May. Oats underwent .
setback of INC to Nc net. Provisions
gained 2rc to zoe.
Right from the outset the corn market
was largely dominated by peace talk. es-
pecially by London assertions that Aus
tria had made repeated advances to
President Wilson. Many traders contin-
ued also to act on bearish differences
from the Presidents letter referring to
the international outlook for 1918. Sharp
attention was given, likewise. to all
news touching disturbances in Germany.
Attempts to rally the market proved to
be of little use owing to a good deal
to the fact that rising temperatures pre-
vailed throughout the cotton belt. and
that no return to abnormal low levels
was now in sight.
Optimism regarding peace cnances
helped to lift provisions. Purchasing as
sumed to be for the food administra-
ton acted as an additional prop to val
ues. Further government orders soon
were expected

After an opening of much activity,
Wall street traders were set back by
short selling, losing most of the early
gains. Call money going to per cent
was partly blamed for the short COW
er;ngs. United States Steel was the
ringleader in trading, but finally lost
rs points Market leaders were at
lowest quotations in the final hour.
The closing was irregular. Liberty S4ss
sold at $3.50 to 9S, first As at 1865 to
$3.50, and second As at 1904 to 959S.
