New York. April 1.-THE cotton market

big advance Monday and reactionary
sentiment around the ring. After SELL
ing off to 32.62c during the early trad ing,
however, July rallied to 22.99c, or into new
high ground for the season, and closed
at 32.S2c, with the general list closing
barely steady, at 4 points higher to s
points lower. The market opened at a
decline of points to an advance of y
points and was unsettled during the early
trading. Reports of showers in Texas
and prospects for more rain promoted a
fvorable view of the crop outlook while
there also seemed to be disposition 20
scale down estimates of exports owing
to the continued scarcity of ocean tom

There was G sharp rally during the
early afternoon on bullish news and COW

o<appointed that pressure had not be-

vanced to 33.1c, and October to 3l62c,
marking net advances of q to 20 points
on the old crop and to 70 points on ac-
tive new crop positions. Later the mar
ket was unsettled by renewed talk of
price fixing and last prices showed de-
clines of some Is to 20 points from the
best.
Except for reports of rain in the south
west and the talk of price fixing no fresh
feature of Importance was discussed
around the ring and most brokers at
tributed the irregularity of fluctuations
to the conflicting influences of an easier
technical position and firmness in the
spot markets.

Ne wOrleans, April 2-Periodih steaat-
ness featured the trading in cotton today
Fluctuations were more or less ATTIC
and sentiment was more unsettled than
it has been of late. Still, it is not to he
oenied that the market possessed it's old
underlying strength which flashed forth
every now and then. Had the bulls cho-
sen. they might have forced the market
to wide advance, especially after the
posting of spot quotations Prices of
spots were raised 81 points, to SAC for
middling, new high record level The
bear element was inclined to make much
of the rains in Texas and, in fact. This
was the only selling influence in the
early session.
Less attention was paid to war news
because of growing opinion that the
crisis in France had passed The noon
reports, however, were so improved in
tone that they started a buying wave
and, as usual, buyers found a scarcity
of contracts. So far the rains in Texas
are concerned, they are undoubtedly inn
portant, but they may be construed in
two ways. The bear way is to claim
that with the breaking of long drouth.
which now appears to be in a way to be
accomplished, the chances for making a
large crop in Texas are materially in
creased. The bull way is to claim that
with the rains. grain crops are saved
and large grain acreage prevented from
being plowed up and replanted to cotton.
In the early trading, prices rose to S
points, after which the market fell off
to net decline of IL to % points In
the early afternoon it advanced sharply
until it stood Ia to IS points over yes
terday's close. We continue to think
favorably of buying on breaks.-Shepard

New Orleans. April 1.-The trade is stin
waiting for more decisive news from the
other side. Meanwhile, the markets are
controlled and sustained with COMPARE
tive ease by the situation in New York
The advance is no longer on the Justice
and merits of fundamental facts such as
supply and needs for the season, but
merely on technicalities. The latest sta
tistics show exports 100000 less than
last year, mill takings 1,650Oo0 less, in
terror stocks 10000 more, port stocks
$4,000 more than last year, and fully
100000 bales less marketed to date than
last year.
There was no special news this morn
ing to affect trading and the market
opened at unchanged figures with strad-
dlers the principal traders on the wider
differences with New York. A report
from New York said that much of the
western and Wall street interest had
been forced to cover in yesterdays drive
and that the market might have reac-
ton. General feeling is rather inclined
to a reaction on the very favorable
weather and crop news, but everybody
realizes that any decisive success in the
war would cause an enthusiastic out
burst which, under the existing tight
ness of the technical situation of the
markets, might lead to phenomenal
display. Smelling, therefore, is furtive

New Orleans, April 2.-Nervous fluctu-

WINNING TRADE
IN SOUTH AMERICA
nv uor.rAND


New York, April Especial. about 10
years ago the late James Stillman, speak
ing in an informal way and in private
ties which he described as inconceivs
bly, great, which were open to the United
States in South America and also in the
Central American nations He said that
il these opportunities were accepted then
the years would not be many before our
greatest international trade would be
with the South American nations and
this trade supplemented by our trade
with Canada should of itself make the
United States a leader in the internal
tional trade of the world
In order to take advantage of these
opportunities, Mr. Stillman went on to
say that at least five years careful sys-
tematic training would be required. He
thought we should send representatives
of our leading industries and of our
financial life to visit the South Amer
lean nations. He was persuaded that 1t
was essential that American banks be es-
tablished in the larger commercial CEN
ters of South America and he was sure
that an intelligent. energetic and very
tactful body Of young men should be
sent to South America with intent to
guages and to gain good knowledge OF
the business methods and the racial
characteristics which distinguish The
nations of the South American conti-
nent.
Six or seven years after Mr.. StiIlman
thus spoke of our opportunities in South
America the first Pan-American finan-
cial conference adopted a resolution
which had for it's purpose the organiza-
tion of financial and industrial com
mission which would be authorized to
make a return visit to the countries OF
southern and Central America. The
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. McAdoo,
gave his warm personal approval to the
plan and afterward in his official ca
pacity appointed a United States COM
mittee which was charged with giving
practical form to the idea and with or
ganizing this great continental excursion
of American business leaders. The
chairman of that committee was James
A. Farrell. president of the United
States Steel corporation. Today Secre-
tary McAdoo is able to make public the
results set forth in reports made by
members of this commission to him upon
their return to the United States. 1t
should be said that the entire expenses
of this excursion were borne by volun-
tary contributions. The government was
not asked to contribute a penny and

sesses so far as our commerce with
south America is concerned lies in the
fact, President Farrell says, that the
United States now offers the largest and
most profitable market for the products
OF the South American nations, whereas.

obtain nowhere else much Of the manu-

the Secretary TO the detailed reports
made by the financial and commercial
commission and these have greatly i'm
pressed Secretary McAdoo, for he has
made haste to put them in print.

Call Money Easy Owing to
Apathetic Stock Market,
Going to 3 Per Cent

New York, April 2.-Transactions on
the stock market today amounted to
only about 10000 shares, the most in
significant total for full session, with
one or two exceptions. since the mid
summer OF 1915. At no time since this
country's entrance into the war was
public participation at such low ebb.
This attitude was transmitted to the
trading element, where the new tax
%ruling dealing with short sales inn
posed additional hazards.
Lack of definite advice from the war
front was perhaps the chief deterrent,
but the undertone. aside from moder-
ately heaviness of investment rails,
indicates no diminution of confidence
in the outcome of the German drive.
Pressure against a few special
stocks. such as Studebaker and kin
bred issues. resulted from recognized
trade conditions and resultant doubt

Oils, utilities and some minor equip
ments denoted increased uncertainty
regarding new federal price schedules
and irregular reaction in secondary
specialties were ascribed to abatement
of pool activity. Coppers forfeited
part of yesterdays gains, Miami los
ing points on the reduced dividend
and reversals of a point in shippings
followed moderate offerings of Marine
preferred. y. S. Steel forfeited large
fraction with affiliated issues.
Call money was extremely easy by
reason of the apathetic stock market,
being in plentiful supply at 3 per cent.

periods were made at per cent

ground, but Liberty issues, except the
SIC, were heavy. Total sales, par
