MARKET SHOWED A HESITANT COURSE AND BULLS LOSE OUT Call Loans Continue to Hold
 Firm, While Time Funds
 Show a Paucity
By Associated Press

New York, April 11.--A more general readJustment of prices on a declining scale marked todays session of the stock market, leaders, particularly in vestment rails and United States Steel denoting further liquidation, attributed in part to conservative interests.
 In it's hesitant course the marke frequently indicated an over-extensfon and consequent weakening of the sus tained bull account which has con trolled movements for almost two months past.
 Technical conditions proved more por tent than actual developments, all though overnight dispatches from eastern Europe invited fresh bear agT gressions Continued firmneSs of call loans and paucity of time funds also served as restraint, despite the re- moval of all restrictions on brokers loans.
 United States Steel was under in cessant pressure, breaking to 971a, it's low price of the week, but closing un- changed at 9SA. SteeFs heaviness was the more conspicuous because of the strength of related shares, notably Bethlehem.
 Sinclair Oil was strongest and most active or the petroleums. holding much of it's four-point gain; Atlantic Gulf. led the shippings at a gross gain of 3I points, but American international ad-I ded almost points to the declinc which followed yesterdays announce ment of the coming $40 payment on stock
 Reversals among rails mostly df- fected St. Paul common and pfd., Union Pacific and Norfolk and Western at recessions of 1 to 2 points. Equir- ments. metals and tobaccos were un- steady, but food shares and secondary mining issues made variable gains. Sales amounted to 100000 shares. Irregularity in the bond market was chiefly due to reactions in high grade rails. Liberty bonds also yielded, but foreign issues were steady. Total sales (par value) aggregated $10, 90e,o00 old U. s. Coupon As gained Is on sales.

Weekly Cotton Review
Bv assrejated Pess


 New York, April 11.-There were tur- ther advances in the cotton market dur inl, the earlier part of the past week with the new style contracts making new high records. Reports of better pros poets for an early confirmation of peace, indications of improving trade de- mand. further delays in new crop prep arations and the strength of Liverpool were the leading news factors on the ad- vance and seemed to be creating more active speculative demand.
 Around 6.65c for May and 23.3se for the new style october contracts, however, the market met good deal of realizing and there were reactions later in the week accompanied by reports that the south was offering spots more freely at the higher level of prices.
 The first weekly review of crop con- ditions by the weather bureau for the season published on Wednesday, indi- cated that crop preparations were about two weeks behind at the end of March, but was more bullish than antici- pated and failed to create any fresh buy ing of consequence.
 People in the yarn trade say that cloth manufacturers are being educated to using yarns faade from these lower grades of cotton, which are considered relatively cheap at the prevailing dis counts.
 Rumors have been circulating that Scandinavian countries have established large credits here to finance purchases of American commodities, including cot ton, for shipment to central Europe as soon as peace is declared. The closing of the British mills using American cotton for a fortnight from yesterday, according to London advices, means curtailment in consumption of about S0OO0 bales but seems to have stimulated the demand for goods in the Manchester markets and Liverpool inter ests have been active buyers here during the week. The French government is said to have authorized importions of 4ooooO bales of American cotton beginning on 1 June l.

Wyoming Land Values Are "Sky-
rOcketing."

Unirrigated and in Laramie county
is selling from $40 to $40 an acre. The
other day the state of Wyoming sold
tracts at $27 an acre, says the State
Tribune. The state land office believes
that other lands soon to be sold at auc-
ton will bring $50 per acre. The rise
in value since 1916 in Laramie county
has beer very marked. Many large
ranches between Cheyenne and Pine
Bluffs We're sold from 81 to 81 an acre
in 1906 and 1907.
a notable instance was the Governor
Baxter land. which went for 81 an
acre. A month later 1t was sold again
for $3.50 an acre. This man parceled
it out at an average of $12 to $15 an
acre. Much of it is now worth from
$50 to $40 an acre. During the last
two years. which have been very seas
enable, Laramie county farmers have
been able to pay for their farms out of
their crops.
Fifteen years & land i'm northwest
ern Nebraska was considered of little
value for farming. A gentleman who
recently came from Chadron states that
unirrigated land is now bringing from
$50 to 500 an acre in that section.
unirrigated land on the Iowa Flats''
near Chugwater is bringing from $50
to $40 an acre. Ten years g it was
considered of little value except for
range purposes.
