BULL|SH VIEWS ON COTTON SENDS T
 UP FOR NICE GAINS
General List Closed Steady At a Net Advance Of 40 To 5 Points Over We'd
 nesday
By Associated Press

New York. May 15.=Yesterday's re- actions were followed by renewed firm ness in the cotton market today with all deliveries making new high records on the bullish view of foreign and de- mestic trade prospects. october con tracts sold up from 25.40c to 26.05c and closed at 25.s7c with the general list closing steady at a net advance of 40 to 55 points.
 Business was comparatively quiet and fluctuations somewhat irregular during the early trading. Cables were slightly lower than due while improved wealth CT conditions were reported in the south and the opening here was points lower to | points higher. There was scattered southern selling and consid- erable realizing but offerings were ab- sorned within a point or two of the initial figures and the market turned firmer during the middle of the day on reports of continued active demand in the south for spots and of buying by both domestic and foreign trade inter ests in futures. Business became more active as prices worked into new high ground for the movement with July selling at 2767c in the late trading when the general list showed net gains of 47 to so points.
 The demand may have been stimu- lated by reports that an agent of the French government had arrived here to buy various supplies. including from $20, 900, GOO to S50,000, ,000 worth of cot ton goods although reports were not altogether credited around the ring. There were also reports that buying agents for various old neutral and new European governments were interested in the New York or south cotton buying for export.

TRANSACTIONS RAN OVER THE MILLION
 MARK YESTERDAY
Steel Was Unable To Hold Its Early Gain, Finally Losing One Point on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York, May 15.-The most distinc- tive feature Of today's stock market was the perceptible elimination of business and variety of issues dealt in. Transac- tions again ran we'll over 100000 shares. but failed by a liberal margin to ap- r oroach yesterdays total, which marked I the years high record.
 Advances of 1 to points were regis tered during the forenoon. chiefly among steels and affiliated equipments. but the tone became hesitant later gains ill one quarter being neutraAized by declines elsewhere, especially among oils and mo- tors.
 Several significant developments com cined to restrain bullish ardor, these in cluding the money situation and the further demoralization in the foreign cx- change market. Paris remittances record ing another sharp decline.
 Yesterdays high and final rate of 712 per cent for call loans proved fictitious in that todays maximum was only per cent, subsequently, declining to 524 per cent. The fact remained that local finan- cial institutions were urging check on stock market excesses.
 United States Steel made further moderate gain at it's best, but this was reversed later, the stock losing 1 point Other steels and ekuipments, notably Lackawanna and Gulf States Steel, Vir- ginia Iron, Pullman, General Electric Air Brake and Baldwin Locomotive showed extreme advances of to 6 points, but these we1s materially shaded at the end.
 Local utilities. mainly fractions. dom= mated the final dealings. Brooklyn transit and Interborough Consolidated also gas shares gained ? to 61a points. with tobaccos and sundry specialties.
 Aside from utilities which accompanied the rise in related shares, the bond mar ket. including Liberty issues, was ir- regular. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated s13,75o.000. Old United States cou- pon 4s lost A on call.
