Over w. I. Phelts & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans. May 2.-A moderately sharp reaction was left by cotton to- day, partly as the result of natural de- sire of longs to realize their profits fol- lowing the advances of the week and partly as the result of the operations of traders who were trying to force a reaction. The somewhat better tone of the crop reports and moderate de- creases in the acreage forecast thus far by private bureaus had much to do with the more liberal short offerings. In the early trading the very good spot accounts, both local and from the interior were responsible for buying which sent prices 23 to 25 points high CT than the close of yesterday. From this there was a slump until the mar ket was 21 to S3 points under the final quotations of yesterday.
 Although contracts fell off, spots were quoted firm and 25 points high CT, which carried middling up to 2Sc. July in the early afternoon traded down to 26.05c, discount of $10 bale under spots. We cannot help thinking that such discount is the best argu- ment that can be advanced or could be advanced for buying that month. There is nothing in the present situation to justify it. Interior reports generally told of a better demand for spots with sellers firm as to prices and buyers willing to meet sellers views. The bulges in Texas spot markets yester- day afternoon had much to do with the early rise in contracts today.
 Italian news is much better and the process of making peace appears to be going ahead in satisfactory manner at Versailles. We believe that under present circumstances declines can be only temporary.
 The market closed at net decline of to 35 points.--Shepard X Gluck.

LOW GRADE RAILS ARE PURCHASED ON LARGE SCALE Steel Got Away Bad, But Finished Strong, With the Close One Point
 Higher
By Associated Press

New York, May 2-Buying of "reor- ganized' or low-grade rails on a scale almost without parallel in several years was the interesting feature of today's stock market and contributed more than any other factor to the turnover, which again attained huge dimensions.
 In general the movement was on a par with dealings of the past fortnight the market evncing further disposition to break away from the irregular eondi- tions which followed the passing of the U. S. Steel extra dividend.
 Steel yielded a fraction at the outset, but rallied almost two points when af- fliated issues began to advance, and closed at a gain of one point, others Of the same class gaining one to two points.
 Shippings, oils and motors and their specialties responded to another broad inquiry at extreme gains of two to eight points, U. $. Rubber eclipsing all cFher issues in it's advance of the final hour General Cigars rose 8 points snd Texas Pacific Land Trust 105 to 5C0.
 Bonds were irregular, investments max ing slight gains. Liherty and foreign is sues were steady to firm. Total sales (par value) aggregated s13,250000. Old U. s. bonds unchanged on call.

Cotton and Grain Exchange
New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 2.-Moderate ad- vances in the early trading in cotton today were followed by a sharp reaction under bear pressure and realizing by longs. Offerings for short account were stimulated mainly by the better tone ot crop reports and the moderate reduction in acreage forecast in several private bureau reports. From a level 23 to 25 points above the close of yesterday prices fell until they were q to 35 points below. Closing prices showed net losses of to 35 points
 In the face of the decline in contracts, spots were quoted firm and 25 points higher, which sent niddling up to 8 cents a pound. This price compared with 26.50c as the high on July and 26.05c as the low Total sales on the spot were approx- mately 5000 bales and Liverpool was men, tioned as the best buyer
 The early advance was due partly to the favorable construction placed on po- litical news and the strength of Texas spot markets yesterday.

Over Private Wires
Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 2.-Although our market opened higher in response to the improvement in Liverpool the ad- vance was not sustained. Scattered liquidation kept appearing during the entire day, which caused the market to close near the low prices. The trade is badly mixed in their opinions as to the probable course of prices. They see nothing new in the situation, and in fact believe that the. crop is rapidly getting over it's delayed start. So far the selling has been largely liquidation of speculative account and not selling against spot cotton in the south. For this reason there is a scarcity of con- tracts and consequently it is felt that even though prices may decline, it is dangerous to be short of the market so long as the south refuses to sell. This selling, however. may come at any moment, if the prospects of the crop continue to be avorable.-Hubbard Brothers x Co,

Who said broilers? It takes bank roll to buy mess of the toothsome young fowls They sell at 45c the pound whole sale, and it's up to the retailers con- science as to what the consumer turns loose. But they certainly eat well. and as they are scarce, it looks like top prices will hold good for sometime yet. The Alabama boys who are coming home soon have sent the s. O. $. call for chicken-not chickens" So it's up to the local folks to begin to accumu- late plenty of fowls on which to feast the returning heroes. They have had plenty of beef and plenty of pork, but they are done fight ing and are coming home. So let's send word in all directions in the country to ship all fowls to Birmingham at once, as the soldier boys have given the hint. Merchants enjoyed a big day yester- day. with full stocks on display. Wholesalers were making large subur- ban deliveries for Saturdays trade, and the retail stands have some tempting of fers this morning.

 MAN COMES HOME
C. T. Coker of Gadsden Served As Field Secretary With the 167th
 For Many Months

New York, May 2.-(Special)-C. T. Coker of Gadsden. Ala, who has been
 field secretary with the Y. M. c. A.
 for the 167th infantry in France. has
 recently arrived in New York en route home.
 MT. Coker joined the regiment Octo-
 Der l. 1918, just in time for the Ar
 gonne offensive. He worked all through that terrible drive, hauling canteen supplies to his men in little wagonette drawA by pair of white ponies captured from the Germans at St. Mihiel. Time and time again this little cart. loaded with good things to eat, worked its way into the thickest from the troops
 After the armistice was signed and the Forty-second division went forward with the army or occupation, the ''Y' men of the division joined hands and established big leave resort in Neu- nahr, Germany. Here. in cooperation with the army, they operated huge hut where over thousand men were entertained daily. Army trucks brought them in in the morning. They were given hot chocolate and cakes. Dinner was served in a first-class hotel, and then followed a movie" of the first order. After supper an excellent vaude- vile show was provided with well known entertainefs performing. The trucks were ready to take the men back to their billets in time for taps" The whole day was an outing for the doughboy. and was entirely free of charge to him. Of course the canteens were operated in addition. and the fact that he loved to spend money was demonstrated by the length of the line of patrons.
 MT. Coker, who Is returning to Gads- den in few days. has several personal letters commenting him for his devo. tion to the regiment. He has won the devotion of officers and men of the 167th. most of whom are from Ala bama and the southern states. Colonel Screws particularly applauds his tire- less energy to serve the troops under his command.

DUN'S REVIEW
New York, May 2.-Dun's tomorrow will


 say:
 Economic aspects, while still reflecting many contrasts of light and shade, grow steadily brighter Some of the dark spots, as those in the great iron and steel in dustry, remain conspicuous, but that de- cisive recovery from the. after-war re- pression has occurred in some other leading branches is no longer to be doubted, and, best of all, there has been further strengthening of that confl- dence which is essential to sustained Nog- ress. It is not now a question, in short, as to whether conditions have improved, but only as to what lengths the com mercial revival has already carried, and as to how soon the general peace time expansion which seems to be clearly DOT tended will make its appearance. All the traditional elements of prosperity are present: economically the country has moved into a powerful position and but for the delay in the adjustment or those complex international problems Which have inevitably come as an aftermath or the greatest war in history, the domestic business development would probably oe more far-reaching and rapid.

COTTON UNABLE ID HOLD EARLY GAINS
 WITH CLOSE WEAK
General List Closed Day Steady At Net Decline of 20 to A Points Under
 Thursday
By AsSnciated Rrrka

New York, May 2.-An opening ad- vance on renewal of yesterdays buy ing movement was followed by reac- tions in the cotton market under realiz- ing or liquidation. July contracts sold off from 2711c to 26.57c, and and closed at 26.6ScL with the general list closing barely steady at a net decline of 20 to "A points.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of Is to 27 points on relatively firm cables and bullish private advices from Liverpool reporting a very bull ish sentiment there on the prospects for general trade. According to these reports Liverpool traders were favor ably impressed by the British budget and houses with English connections were good buyers here on the early ad- vance which carried active months about 20 to 30 points above last nights closing figures with October selling at 25.33c. The weather map made a favor- able showing, however, while a report issued by one of the local authorities indicated reduction of only 11.2 per cent in acreage and of per cent in the use of fertilizer.
 These features probably promoted more optimistic view of new prospects which increased the disposition to take profits on cotton that had been carried over the break of Wednesday, and the market soon turned easier. Trading was not particularly active, but there was less support after the close of Liver pool, which rendered prices sensitive to selling orders.
 October declined to 24.70c. or 32 points below last nights close and 6S points below the high level of the morning, and closed at 24.7sc.

CORN VERY ELASTIC
 WITH GIVE AND TAKE. GAME WELL PLAYED
Staple Shot Upward Again Yesterday, But Quieted Down With a Reason
 able Advance
By Associated Press

Chicago. May 2-Bullish constructions placed on speech at Duluth today by Julius H. Barnes, national wheat ad- ministrator. did good deal to bring about a material fresh advance in the corn market here. but later the bearish aspects of the address received more careful study. Corn closed nervous, 2l4c to S1ac net higher, with July s1-612@ l.o57s and September sl.sl7s@1.621A. Oats finished 5sc off to i4c advance. and pro- visions ranging from 5c decline to rise of 25c.
 Throughout the session dealings in corn were on broad scale. with aggressive commission house buying most of the time until after midday, when the pre- vailing tendency swung toward sales to realize profits. Increased shipping de- mand from the east, together with shrinkage of receipts from the country counted as bullish factors, and so, too, did reports of an outbreak of Australian wheat disease in Illinois. The rapid fluc- ed carefully in varying advices at diff ferent stages in regard to the views of MT. Barnes about wheat and flour. Some notice late was taken of proposed im- ports of corn from Africa into this coun- tpy
 Oats weakened as result of word that cutting of the new crop had already begun in Texas.
 Provisions were lifted by the strength of corn and hogs. Lard touched new nigh price record.
