Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, April 22-Traders in cotton continue reactionary on an unfavoraple view of advices regarding foreign politics and a belief that the weaker technical situation would make itself felt if de- mand through trade sources should at any time for any reason slacken. A number of stop orders were uncovered today and traders suspect that there arc more of those not far below the present level. There was very little also to criticize in the weather forecast ana houses with Southern connections seemed to have selling orders on every moderate upturn Exports were only 800 bales ana that was not considered as in line with recent reports of q large spot demand. Mills. however, were reported fixing the price on call cotton quite freely, and de- mand from that source served to take up a good many contracts. The tone today however, has been less satisfac- tory and may feel that the situation would be healthier for good reaction to clear up more of the scattered long interest which has formed in the course of the protracted advance.
 Once more the stock market goes well over the million mark and shows still a large trading interest and activity. Prices however, have been quite irreg- ular today, all through the forenoon the market showing distinct evidence or profit taking, although later, in the las. hour. came distinct rally, produced Tn the main by the recovery in Steel on the rumor that satisfactory price agree ment had been finally arrived at.
 One good feature of the market today has been the greater strength and act1I- ity in the rails. This comes about from inc fact that it is believed that Con- gress with the coming extra session must find some solution, and reasonable ana financially sound one for the railroad problem. Consequently people whose in- come tax is already as large as they care to pay, are inclined to pick up cheap non- dividend rails which they believe must benefit from settlement of the railway question, and later enhance in price, while for the moment, these people are not worrying about increasing their ln come. It is certainly important that II we are to have a real bull market, the railway shares should not Ne hopeless laggards.

VOLUME OF COTTON TRADING SMALL;
 MARKET NERVOUS
General List Closed Steady at a Net Loss of Only z tO<25 Points on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York, April 22.-The cotton market showed increased nervousness and irregularity today with a smaller volume of business There was evil dently a disposition to take profits or liquidate long contracts attributed as much to the extent Of recent advances as to any special feature in the news, the buying was less aggressive Offer ings, however, were gradually ab- sorbed on decline of about 30 to S9 points from yesterdays closing and aft CT selling o: to 27.20c new style May contracts closed at 27.52c with the gem eral list closing steady at a net loss of only to 25 points. Old style months were 10 points higher to 77 points lower.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 12 points to a decline of 5 points and very soon weakened under rather active Wall street and local sell ing. The disposition to take profits On long cotton was increased by the fa- vorable showing of the weather map while in some quarters there also ap- peared to be a less favorable view of progress in the peace conference. The fact that the support from trade or speculative buyers was less active than recently probably contributed to re- actionary sentoment and the market was quite unsettled during the early afternoon with new style July selling off to 257Sc and October to 243Sc, or about 1sc below the high levels of yesterday. There was not much pres sure from the south, according to local brokers, however and the market showed recoveries of about Is to 25 points from the lowest to the close with near months relatively firm on COVaFinO ranawAd In Reports that the supreme economic council at Paris was considering the question of permitting shipments of cotton to Germany, and that most of the restrictions on trading with Eu- ropean neutrals were to be removed after April 25. probably helped to steady the markec at the decline.

CORN CLIMBS ONE PEG HIGHER AND

Report That No Five-Cent Bread Was in Sight Plays Into Hands
 of Bulls
By Associated Press

Chicago, April 22.-Corn climbed just a little higher today than all previous top levels this season, Oni- cial announcement that no Sc bread was in sight formed the chief basis for the new upturn.-The market closed unsettled, $ c net lower to 1c advance. with July $1.5S1s to s1.5SA. and Sep tember $1.54 to s1.541s. Oats finished unchanged to & c down and provisione unchanged to soc decline.
 Statements made by the federal wheat director touching the probable continuance of world high prices for bread and indicating that European supplies of foodstuffs would be even smaller this year than last year gave the corn market immediate fresn strength.
 The fact that live hogs mad risen in value to the highest point ever reached in Chicago, $2l ewt.. tended further to stimulate demand for corn On the ensuing advance, however prof it taking sales broadened out, and hedging operations put an additional weight on the market. A break re- suited. but then offerings were again quickly absorbed and the market was rallying at the last, with shorts ac- tive bidders and apparently somewhat scared.
 Absence of eastern shipping call made oats incline to sag. Provisions lacked any aggressive support. Re ord breaking hign prices on hogs seemed to have put a decided check on demand

New Orleans, April 22.-The pace of the advance has been rather rapid the past 10 days and the feeling that some set in a certain hesitancy of support and preference for realizing on rallies, par ticularly among the professional element. This accounts for the 30 points decline at the start this morning, despite bet ter news from Paris.
 However, as Wall street expresses it, there is now a main current of strength and trilish anticipation reaching far be- yond the professional channels and ob- iiteraung all smaller factors with the vast buying power and resources of the west making itself increasingly felt.
 Weather conditions over night were fa- vorable; generally fair and warmer weather prevailing. Indications are for increasing cloudiness in the western states with prospects of change 10 unsettled weather. but continued fair, warmer east of the river. Weekly weath- CT report should be favorable except Tor the mention of delay by cold weather.
 Dry goods reports continue to show very active trade and steady advance in prices Sterling exchange is high CT, which helps export trade.
 Spots are very steady with no large trades 70 far reported
 In contrast with yesterdays activity, the market now rules rather quiet into the second hour at prices slightly be- low yesterdays closing level The desire is not to run too far ahead of Liver pool, which market reopens tomorrow and may g1ve, an expression on general feel ing over politics.
 Seslpers seem disposed to try for some reaction but selling is cautious. as the r.arket showed yesterday that il takes little to arouse strong buying.
 After an opening about 15 points lower than yesterdays close the market ranged within limit of d5 to 70 rcints and closed steady 50 points net lower on May and 20 to 25 lower on later positions, than the previous close.
 Spots are unchanged at 27.5Oc; sales POO bales Interior spot markets are unchanged to 25 points higher with a good business done.-John r. Clark x Co.

New Orleans. April 22.-Offerings were freer in the cotton market today and prices softened under them to moderate extent. There was much liquidation all though it was hardly as great might have been expected following recent ad- vances, and offerings for short account were increased volume. Selling was stim- ulated by the continued good weather over the belt and by expectation that the weekly crop accounts tomorrow would be written in bearish way. Momentarily on the opening the most active months were to points up but after the call the market slid off until it was 40 to 41 points under the closing levels of yester- day. There were recoVeries from the de- cline but they were not well sustained.
 A favorable view was taken of the po- lticel situation although in some guar ters much was made of the Italian de- mands. A continued bullish feeling re- garding spots have helped to give the market steady undertone. Spots were unchanged on moderately small sales but this was due, according to market com ment. to the refusal of sellers to get together with buyers. Reports from the cotton goods markets were, as usual high ly favorable.
 The action of the market tomorrow, and possibly for the sessions following de- bends largely on what the crop returns reveal, unless there are important politi- cal developments. Should prices be un- duly depressed by tomorrows reports we think the market should be bought, for after all the matter of peace is the main question just now. Last prices showed net losses of 19 to 45 points-Shepard and Gluck

RAILS LOWER TYPE SPRING A SURPRISE. MAKE A COMEBACK
Most Transportation Lines Affected Touch in the Various Rich Oil
 Properties
By A,,nris,,d Pres,

New York, April 22.-The stock mar ket entered upon new and interesting phase today in the sense that rails, so long relegated to the comparative ob- scurity, assumed commanding position throughout the busy session.
 Especial significance attached to the seemingly confident accumulation of these shares because while the movement comprehended an unusual variety of is- sues, it converged perceptibiy around many of the low-priced transportations which tap the country's richest oil prop critics.
 There was fair demand also for high grade or investment rails. but moderate gains in that division were reduced by occasional pressure to little more than fractions at the end
 In most other respects the character of the trading manifested radical change, distinct irregularity and occa- sional heaviness being shown by ship pings. oils and motors and numerous specialties recently high in speculative favor
 Outstanding features of the railway list included Texas & Pacific, Missouri, Kansas & Texas common and preferred. Kansas City Southern Missouri Pacific common and preferred St Louis & Southwestern, St. Louis & San Francisco, Southern Railway, ROCK lsiano, Erie, New Haven Baltimore & Ohio and Ches- apeake X Ohio at gross gains of 11s to 6 points.
 St. Paul common and preferred, South ern Pacific, Canadian Pacific. Atchison. Norfolk & Western, Illinois Central New York Central, Great Northern and Louisville & Nashville represented the standard group in minor degree.
 Steels and allied shares were under pressure most of the session but rallied vigorously at the close when Crucible Steel, Harvester and Steel Foundry de- veloped marked strength, gaining to 6 points with motor subsidiaries.
 Railroad bonds made feeble response to the advance in stocks Liberty issues eased and internationals steadied. Total sales (par value) aggregated s11,S50,O0o. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call

 New Orleans, April 22.-Lower prices prevailed today after a rise of to 4 points on the most active months on the opening.
 Selling for both accounts, encouraged by the favorable weather conditions over the belt and expectations of good weekly crop accounts tomorrow, made for a re- action from the advance and at the lowest of the day prices were 45 to 47 points under the close of yesterday, May selling off to 26. 45c. Last prices showed net losses of 19 to 45 points.
 The tone was steadied at the decline by continued reports of good spot de- mand and unwillingness of spot holders to meet present prices, the firm and active cotton goods markets in this coun- try and a favorable opinion of, the po- litical situation, although some bearish comment was aroused by the Italian de- mands. Throughout the session the un- dcrtone was steady and partial recov- cries were frequent
 The weather map was dry and fairly warm and many sections of the belt re- ported rapid progress with the work of planting the new crop. The effect of the map was intensified by the forecast which indicated little change in the con dtions within the immediate future.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. April 22.--Liverpoo was again closed today, but will reopen on Wednesday. The active buying for west ern account which was so evident yes terday, failed to appear here today, in fact a good deal of quiet liquidation has been going on all day, brought about by the improved weather conditions in the south.
 On the breaks trade brokers were good buyers, absorbing the offerings. Senti- ment is less bullish than for sometime past as many realize the big change in values during the past month without practically any setback. The feeling. therefore, is that while prices may event ually sell considerably higher it is high time to be cautious to see how period of good weather will affect the atti- tude of southern holders.
 In the meantime, however, the dry goods market continues to improve, which, or course, is a very strong influence to- ward the maintenance of prices, as it brings our mills in as buyers on all sharp breaks Hubbard Bros & Co.
