NEW STYLE MONTHS. WENT ID NEW HIGH.
 RECORDS IN COTTON.
Old Style Months Closed Net Unchanged To 37 Points Lower Than On We'd
 nesday
By Associated Press

New York, April 24.-The cotton market was nervous and irregular during today s trading, An opening decline was fol- lowed by an excited advance which car ried all the new style months to new high records, but even sharper reactions fol- lowed with the close steady, net un- changed to 42 points lower. May was relatively firm as few notices seemed to be expected tomorrow, put after advanc- ing from T70c to 2S.15c, closed at 27.75c, while October sold off from 25. 2oc to 24 45c, and closed at 24.50e. Old-style months closed net unchanged to S7 points lower.
 The market opened steady at a decline of F points to an advance of points and sold to IS points net lower right after the call under realizing and seat tered selling, which may have been pro- noted by indifferent cables or nervous ness over the news from the peace con- ference.
 Trade interests were good buyers at the decline, however, while the was very little pressure from the south, and the market soon rallied on a renewal of ac- tivity in general buying.
 May lead the advance, selling 40 points net higher while later months worked 33 to 34 points above last nights closing figures and l1O to 115 above the low level of yesterday morning. Prospects for lower temperatures in the south probably contributed to the advance. but local brokers were inclined to attribute the buying movement to a bulilsh view O. comodity values a general proposition than to any particular features in the days news
 Realizing became more active as the buying movement subsded, and the mar ket sold off later as rapidly as it had ad- vanced with July and later deliveries making breaks of 30 to 42 points from last nights closing figures. Wall street ana western interests were among the more prominent sellers on the late decline, while there was no change in the news from the south and there did not seem to be much southern selling

New York, April 24.-The foreign sit- uation caused a marked halt in op- erations on the stock exchange tooay' trading. falling far below recent large totals, while prices manifested con siderable irregularity, heavy tone prevailing at the feverish close.
 In many quarters the action or the Bethlehem Steel directors was ac- cepted as indicative of the policy to be adopted at next weeks meeting of course of steel in the later dealings tended to strengthened tthis belief.
 United States Steel was the sheet an- chor of the market during the early and intermediate periods, but sagged with the general list on word from Washington that the steel conference with the federal authorities had ad- journed without action.
 The few elements of strength em- braced low priced rails, in which fresh accumulation developed and several of the peace industrials, notably Hide and Leather preferred, Baldwin Locomotive, American Locomotive, General Electric and Pressed Steel Car.
 In general, however, gains of to 8 points in those groups, IS well as oils and motor specialties, were large ly dissipated in the free offerings of the final hour, when shippings also re- acted sharply.
 Trading in bonds broadened, but without appreciable alteration in Lib erty and other domestic issues, al- though internationals were firmer. To- tai sales, par value, aggregated $12,- 150, 900. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

New Orleans, April A.-Liverpool showed 15 points advance in futures. whereas about 50 points higher was due in order to restore last weeks parity with our market and adjustment to in- creased freight charges. Spots are quoted 6 points higher; sales, 5000 bales.
 New York says, in explanation of yes terday's sudden sharp rise: Trade buy ing, Wall street covering and western buying forced the rise. With western capital barred from speculation in wheat on account of fixed prices its power is finding expression in the stock and other markets Another strike theatens com merce in New York. Freight handlers at all railroad stations and piers in the city as a protest against working condi- tions were authorized by the freight handlers union to strike This may have stimulated bulish move in the market on the idea of possible inter ference to the movement of cotton to New York.
 Tomorrow will be first notice day for May a moderate amount of tenders is ex- pected but not as many as originally contemplated on account of the recent improvement in spots, and better pros poets for broader spot markets in the near future Weather conditions favorable. A cool wave will be felt over the northeast ern quarter of the belt; cloudy and warm CT is indicated for the west
 Spot demand is qLieter for the moment. Factors says that the easier holdings oy owners who are glad to find relief from a long. trying wait. so sell on the present advance. are nearly all gone, and that de- mand will soon meet holdings oniy a' fixed higher limits On the other hanu' exporters find a scarcity of tonnage al present. which checks spot business.
 During the afternon the market was nervous, affected by many rumers anu fluctuations were cratic.
