In du 8 trial
Cotton ;

While the volume of business may
not have been as large as during the
earlier stages of the decline in cotton,
none of the previous breaks have been
any more rapid or severe than that of
yesterday morning. After closing at
26.41 on Friday, and selling at 264O at
the start, July contracts broke to $500,
rallied to 1856, and broke again to
$500, or more than Sc bale from the
close Of the previous day, and no less
than $44 bale from the high record
of April q. The market closed weak, at
a net decline of 120 to lao points.
There appeared to be no really fresh
factor concerned in the renewal of gen.
cral selling, but there were evidently
increased apprehensions of spot iquida-
tion. A good deal of the selling was
believed to be for Southern account,
probably against actual holdings. The
shrinkage Of values has recently been
SO severe that holders who have bor-
rowed money on cotton as collateral
may possibly find themselves in a diff
ficult position. Some such idea as this,
at least, seemed to be in the minds Of
traders yesterday, and except for
covering there was little or no sup
port around the ring.
Nervousness over the war situation
and the failure of the weather map to
show such low temperatures as ex-
pected were among the factors dis
cussed during the earlier session, but
to centre on the Southern selling, and
conjectures as to the exact attitude of
remaining holders.
The market opened easy, at decline
of 5 points on May, but generally 21
to 81 points higher. The covering
movement of Friday morning seemed
to have cased the technical position,
and the market broke right after the
call under selling by houses with
Liverpool and Wall Street connections.
Before this first decline was checked
prices were approximately cent under
Fridays closing figures, and a quick
.rally Of 20 OR 30 points was followed
by still greater weakness in the late
!. trading. Closing prices were at ap-
;proximately the low point of the day
of 10 or Is points on new crop de-
'liveries.
A report issued by a Southwestern
authority indicated present prospects
for an increase of only 1.8 per cent
in acreage. According to this report,
the outlook for acreage is being in
f1uenced by scarcity Of labor, recent
unfavorable weather and the decline
. in prices; but, while the indicated in
crease was somewhat less than re-
Gently claimed, the figures made little
or no impression on the market.
No change was reported in the goods
situation. Having large orders on hand
and being also pretty we'll supplied
with high priced cotton, manufacturers
show no disposition to shade prices.

Metals

Government control over steel is ex-
tending. Some of the smaller mills
are still able to accept limited orders
for the third and last quarter, but are
generally concentrating on government
work, and private orders are subject to
Federal permits. 1t is estimated, con-
sidering direct and indirect require
ments, that close to 80 and even IS per
cent OF the present capacity is now abb
sorbed for national purposes. In con-
sequence consumers who cannot plead
strong necessity are not likely to re-
ceive attention. Government orders
for shipbuilding and steel for the navy
ard for she'll manufacture are excep-
tionally heavy and take preference over
everything else with railroad rolling
stock and steel rails closely second
for 100000 freight cars, but it is under
stood that wood will enter largely into
their construction.
Demand for iron keeps we'll ahead Of
supply, and distribution is now largely
controlled by Washington. Preference
is given to consumers holding govern
ment work. Production for April prom
ises to about equal the outturn during
March, but furnaces are not willing to
undertake further obligations. "
Copper interests predict an advance
to rs cents pound after June, but
popular belief is that there will be no
change. Lead is quiet between sea-
sons and rather easy.

dead and that farmers will be more
disposed to market their holdings at
ter they have finished planting corn.
The new crop outlook continues fav-
orable and it is generally conceded
that the recent heavy rains in the
marked Improvement in that section.
Spring wheat is growing nicely and
the trade at large feels very hopeful
in regard to the future.
Corn.-The corn market experienced
sharp reaction yesterday, the July
position in Chicago selling down to
the high point of Friday. There was
heavy selling prompted by the belief
that the technical position had been
materially weakened during the course
of the weeks advance. Furthermore,
the trade was more or less agitated
over a report that ]. j. Stream, of the
food administration, had wired the
Kansas City Board Of Trade that buy
ing or taking back of grain futures
against hedges would be looked upon
as unlawful. This was interpreted as
meaning that scalpng operate MS in
hedges will not be permitted, which
will naturally rob the market Of GER
tain amount of operations and should
bring about narrower price changes.
The cash position was relatively easier,
and reports from Peoria said that
while distillers are buying cash corn
they are not buying any more heavily
than at any time during the winter.

Oats.-The oats market was alsv
weak under weekend liquidation, clos
ing with net losses of 1h to 2Mc.
The ruling in regard to hedging opera
tlons was looked upon as a bearish
feature in oats as we'll as in corn. The
export demand was slow and in alb
sence of this buying the cash position
was easier. The splendid outlook for
the. new crop is having a tendency to
undermine confidence in prevailing
prices and it is noticeable that the
market needs the constant support of
cash buying to maintain values. The
movement at interior points during tn.
week showed little change from the
previous week, but clearances were
larger. and as arrivals at the seaboard
have been very liberal of late the
trade is looking for heavy shipments
in the near future.

seemed to find nothing in the over

but the recent falling off in warehouse
deliveries, more liberal clearances from
Brazil and the talk of lower average

fresh buying. Scattering liquidation
