COTTON RISES SHARPLY.
Prices Advance on Prospects of an
Early Peace.

Reported prospects OF early conclusion
OF peace were followed by broadening
of trade and speculative demand in the
cotton market yesterday and very sharp
advances in prices 1t seemed that the
past two or three days reactlonary SEN
tlment had led to accumulation Of scat
tering short interest and renewal of
support caused active covering. New
style May and July contracts made new
high records May sold at 2630c. or 80
points higher than the best previous
price and $22.75 a bale higher than last
months low level That position closed
at 26.25c., against 25.7Oc. at Fridays
close with new style months generally
closing steady "a a net advance of 55 to

WALL STREET GOSSIP.
Market Comment.

A pronounced tinge OF optimism per-
meates the week end market letters to
their customers of Wall Street firms.
Most of them counsel conservation, but
there Is no gloomy note to be found
among any Of them. "Notwithstanding
the unsatisfactory situation in Europe"
says J. s.. Bache & Co., land the APP
parently involved circumstances sur
rounding the Peace Conference, the
growth of confidence in business con-
tinues and Is reflected in the stock mar
ket. which Is acting well under the cir
cumstances." E. b. Wagner G. Co. say
that there Is unanimity of opinion that
great business activity is Just around
the corner. Hayden, Stone & Co. say
that the market is looking forward to
the next step, which undoubtedly will be
that OF reconstruction. Goodbody & Co.
say: 'Tt Is remarkable that in spite of
the big advance of the last six weeks
and Of the many unfavorable factors the
stock market holds wonderfully strong"

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

Selling pressure in heavy volume In
the second half OF trading yesterday
caused a sharp decline in the market
on the Consolidated Stock Exchange
Previously values held steady with the
majority of issues recording gains. The
bearish attack came as suddenly as II
was unexpected and stocks were supplied
in heavy volume and the entire list
railroads and industrials. reacted.
The sun., 1919-04-06

Despite the restrictions on dts activi-
ties brought by the war. the American
Sugar Company enjoyed prosperous
year in 1918 and the continued strength
in the stock Is understood to reflect the
possibility of a substantial cash distri-
button shortly. The surplus at the end
OF 1918, according to its annual report.
was $21,3S3,432, representing an increase
OF more than S1.000,000 during the year
This Is equivalent to nearly 500 a snare
on the capital stock outstanding. Pros
pects for the year are understood TO be
good, because of the heavy demand for
food products. The signing of the peace
treaty and the removal OF all food re-
strictions will probably see the return of
the company TO Its place in the matter
OF foreign exports.

Steel's Dividend.

Although the United States Steel Cor
poration's meeting Is some three weeks
of, coming on April 20. there is con-
siderable discussion going the rounds in
Wall Street on the possibility Of a re-
duction in It's dividend-at least in the
extra that It has been paying The be-
lief in circles usually well informed on
steel IL that cut will be made. At pres
ent the shares pay per cent. regular
and an extra OF 1 per cent. a quarter,
making total of per cent a year. If
q cut be made, which seems likely, It Is
probable that the extra would not be
taken entirely off. but would be reduced
to one-Quarter Of ! per cent. extra a
quarter. This would bring the stock to
8 per cent, level. With the steel trade
at standstill the net will undoubtedly
show decline for the first quarter.
The tonnage statement, to be issued next
week, will reflect decline in orders on
hand. Since It is the policy Of the steel
corporation to pay dividends from cur
rent earnings and not cut into the surplus
a reduction in the extra appears to stu
dents of the steel figures entirely likely
The sun., 1919-04-06

An Interpretation OF the Stock Ex-
change rule regarding reducing the limit
on orders BY the amount of dividend
on the day stock sells ex-dividend was
made yesterday, in reply TO request by
several members, by the committee or
arrangements of that institution. The
committee ruled that open buying orders
and open stop orders TO sell should be
reduced and that open stop orders to
buy and open selling orders should not
be reduced.

An Open Market for steel.

Those In the financial community who
hold the belief that the steel dividend
VIII be cut have had their forecast
strengthened at least by the chaos rul-
Ing In the market, particularly since the
muddle in Washington that appears GER
tain to end in throwing out the schedule
OF prices. 1t probably will mean an
open market for steel. The steel men
themselves are not averse to an open
market in the long run. They know It
will mean further extension of their
period Of inactivity, but believe it will
eventually bring them prices for their
product which they believe to be nearer
right than those of the so-called sched-
ules Some of the high officials of the
steel corporation have openly advocated
the return to an open market since the
steel problem has been up in Washing
ton. The entire trade exhibited con-
siderable subdued reluctance on enter
ing into the agreement proposed by Sec
rotary Redheld
