Smiths plurality in city, With 139
election districts missing out of 1928,
24s,324.
The Republicans early conceded their
opponents 175,OOO in this city and fig
ured that the vote from up the state
would overcome this with 100000 to
spare.
The size of the Democratic plurality
IN Manhattan, Brooklyn, The Bronx and
Queens indicated early that the Repub-
licans would make no gain on Congress-
men or Senator'S or Assemblymen. and
that they would be lucky to held their
own.
Printing House Square was thronged
with spectators, who gave vent to their
emotions in all the boisterous. ways

The Republicans have almost
surely carried the House by small
majority and apparently will either
tie the Senate or have majority
of two. sss.g...
The Presidents party has lost
Senate seats in New Hampshire,
Illinois, Kansas, Colorado and Della
ware. 1t apparently lost seat also
in Nevada. and the seat in Idaho
held by Senator Nugent is in grave
danger.
The only sure Democratic SEN
ate gain is in Massachusetts. Late

Senator Norris in Nebraska.
The Republicans held their weak
states. Rhode Island, West Virginia
and South Dakota. though they lost
one they thought was strong, Mas
sachusetts, where Senator Weeks
has apparently been defeated by
majority large for a Democratic
candidate in the Bay State.
Smith Popularity Aids
In the House the Democrats were
saved from a more spectacular de-
feat, not by any national issue, but
by the personal popularity of cap
Smith, the strength of Tammany
Hall and some dissensions among
the Republicans in New Jersey.
These dissensions in New Jersey did
not enter into the Senate situation.
however, the Republicans not only
electing Governor Edge for the long
term, but Senator Baird for the
short term as well, although the
President wrote letters urging the
election Of both Democratic candi-
dates.
In the House the Republicans
have apparently gained four seats
in Kansas, two in Pennsylvania, two
in Ohio and one each in New Mex
ico. Maryland, Missouri, Kentucky,
Rhode Island, Michigan, Delaware
and Nebraska.
The Democrats gained, according
to indications, three seats in New
Jersey and three or four in New
York.
Control of the Senate apparently
hangs on four very close states-Mas-
sachusetts, where Walsh, the Demo
cratic nominee, is leading Senator
Weeks by small majority; Colorado,
where the Republican nominee is
leading Senator Shafroth; Delaware.

have won over Senator Salisbury, and

Democrat, is leading Senator Norris

NEW TRADING RULES
 UPHOLD THE MARKET
Absence of Seaboard De- mand Weakened Oats.
 Provisions Go Up

Chicago, April 9.-Likelihood of higher prices for future deliveries when new
 style trading begins, tended today to
 uphold the corn market. Steadiness pre- vailed at the close, which was exactly
 the same as 24 hours before, with May at sl27l4. Oats lost 4 to 1sc net In provisions the outcome was again of 2 to 5@7c up.
 Attention of corn traders centered
 chiefly on forecasts of the proper price level for July delivery, new style con- tracts A popular opinion was that the right value basis would be fixed by comparison with the cost of No. mixed, which today sold at about S1.4511. 50 a bushel. It was urged tn support of this view that No 5 mixed would be deliv- erable at contract price without proviso of any sort, whereas the required ex- l traction of moisture from No. 4 mixed
 and No. mixed will be too extensive to allow any great volume of deliveries of either of those two grades. On the other hand. reports of improved conditions for spring blowing acted as handicap to the bulls, and the fact that the market was so near the present maximum level. | The absence of seaboard demand weak l ened oats, despite changes expected soon | in contract grades.
 l Provisions sympathized with higher quotations on hogs.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, April 9.-Irregular and nervous fluctuations resulted from the trading in cotton here today, the market showing both small declines and small advances, finally closing 16 points higher to points lower than the closing level of yesterday. Bearish traders worked hard to keep yesterdays reactions go- ing, but were hampered by apparent im- provement in the technical position, by cold weather over the belt and the re- fusal of the spot department to follow the decline in contracts.
 Overnight selling caused the market to open 3 to z points lower. After the call the market strengthened on buying based on the cold weather and the active months mounted quickly until they were II to F points over yesterdays close.
 Fresh selling, based on private fore cast of American consumption for March of only 551.000 bales, against 6O40OO for March last year, caused a recession te new low levels, where the market stood | 20 to 25 points under yesterdays fina prices. During the remainder of thu session the market was disposed to i'm prove. with several minor setbacks. or the steadiness of spots.

RATHER NERVOUS
 AFTER SHARP BREAK
Mill Consumption Thought Less by 150,000 Than a
 Year Ago

New York, April 9.-Yesterdays sharp break was followed by rather nervous and irregular fluctuations in cotton to- day, but the tone was steadied by the continued bullish average of spot sdvices and the appearance of trade buying on declines. After selling at SS.O5c early, July eased off to 32.6Sc, but rallied to the 3sc level and closed at S2.9Sc. with the general list closing firm net Is points higher to l point lower. New crop deliv- cries were relatively easy during the en- tire day owing to the favorable weather and crop news.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of s to 15 points and sold about 15 to 23 points net higher after the call OH covering, which was promoted by re- ports that no price fixing on raw cotton was expected this season. Many of yes- terday's late sellers covered on this early bulge carrying May contracts up to ss.76c and October to S1.52c. but trade buying was less in evidence than recently and the advance met renewed liquidation.
 Offerings became heavier after the pub lication of reports that private returns indicated GOmeStlc mn consumption or 551 900 bales for March, against 602.0O0 last year, and selling was also encouraged by the western belt forecast for fair and warmer weather. A few stop orders were uncovered as prices broke under yester- days low level. with May selling off to 8. 40c and october to 31.10c, or IS to 23 points net lower. More trade buying was encountere1 at this decline and the mar ket was steady to firm during the aft ernoon, on renewed covering, which seemed to reflect a belief that whatever steps might be taken to regulate the goods trade, tomorrows conference would be followed by the placing of large gov. ernment orders.

terday, this being undoubtedly the re- suit of strengthening of technical po- sition. Moreover. temperatures over the belt were low enough to cause un- easiness and spot holders showed no signs of weakening. Spots were again quoted in this market unchanged at the highest levels of season. In the contract market there was fall of 8 to ' points around opening, which was met by good buying. The loss was speedily made up and replaced by a net advance of to 17 points. An other sag, this time to a level 20 to 25 points under the close of yester- day, followed but late in the afternoon the market was up again, this time about half dozen points compared with yesterdays close on the strong
 est months. Selling of day was main ly based on hopes of favorable week. ly crop report tomorrow morning, and also there was forecast from the National Ginners' association which put American consumption for March at only 1000 bales, versus 604,000 the same month last year. The official re- port on consumption will probably be isued Monday morning. According to

New York, April 9-Under ordinary market conditions there should have been
 a sharp recovery today from the decline of yesterday. Rallies did occur, 10 be followed by free offerings of the new crop. which were apparently of a hedg- ing nature What will be done in Wash ington regarding the stabilizing of cot ton goods is as yet unknown, though the idea grows that as spinners have not increased their consumption of cot ton over the last year, large quantity of cotton goods may have been bought on speculation in expectation of govern ment's requirements. It is most unusual that so sharp an advance in prices of cotton goods should not have brought about an increase in production. Outside sentiment is that if the steel and copper markets were controlled without diff culty that the cotton goods market could also be controlled.--Hubbard Bros. x Go.

The battle front and Liberty Bonds split even in the limelight on Wall street yesterday. heaviness hung over transactions and the extent ot dealings was very limited. A further rally in metal shares infused greater firmnes after midday. but extreme dullness prevailed. Utilities such as Western Union and Peoples Gas gained 1 to points, and Enameling, Distil- lers and Sumatra Tobacco made like advances. new high record for Sumatra tobacco and reactions of to points among low-priced rails were the mixed features of the last hour.
