New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans May 10.-1mprovement in weather conditions over the bet was responsible for a selling move ment in cotton today, which carried the market 2S to 33 points below yester- days close at the lowest levels of the session. Toward the end a steadier feeling prevailed, owing to the strength of spots, and last prices showed net losses of 25 to 27 points.
 On the opening call prices were , to points up. but offerings immedi- ately increased and the market quick ly sagged under them. Much liquida- tion came from the long side and short offerings at times were liberal.
 The weather map, showing little rain in the belt, was considered favor able and it's effect was intensified by the forecast of generally dry weather for the belt over Sunday. The att- tude of Germany toward the peace terms was the cause of more or less selling. Spots were marked up l2 points, which carried middling up to 27.75c, as against the high price oil July of 26.60c. Around the opening 27.s0c was bid for May, but no sales were made at that figure. At the low est of the day July traded at 26,22c and the discount this price represented, compared with spots, attracted much attention.

COTTON MARKET WAS. LOWER YESTERDAY .ON WEATHER REPORT
General List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of 13 to g Points Under the
 Close of Friday
By Associated Press

New York, May 10.-The cotton market was lower today under realizing for over the weekend and prospects for better weather in the south. July coptracts sold off from 2695c to 26.6lc and closed at 26.71c, with the general list closing steady at a net decline of 13 to 23 points
 The market opened steady at an ad' vance of five to nine points on overnight buying orders, which carried prices up to g 35c for October, or within 20 points Of the high record established eward the end of April. It seemed. however. that a good many scattering short &C., counts had been covered on. the advance of Friday which left the market with less support, and prices soon turned eas- fer under realizing. This was probably promoted by the better weather reported in western and central sections of the belt and the local map readers that the south was to have a spell of clear and generally more favorable weather.
 Some southern selling was reported around the ring, but offerings were held in check by the continued bullish char acter of the news from the goods trade, and after showing net losses of about 25 to 8 points, with October selling at 24 9Oc, the market steadied on covering. There was some further trade buying on the early decline, but the demand from that source was said to be less ac- tive than recently and local bears argue that mills have secured protection against a good part of their forward requirements during the past month.
 Reports from the goods market indi- cated continued or increasing activity and strength in all departments and sales of print cloths at Fall River for the week were estimated at 230,oOo pieces

FLOWING WEATHER IN THE CORN BELT
 WEAKENS PRICES
Oats Also Takes Dip, While Provisions List Was Un- changed to 25c
 Higher
By Associated Press

Chicago, May 10.-Better wc1ther for blowing and planting led to general sell ing in the corn market today, and did much to weaken prices. There was an unsettled finish. 1ac to 1kc net lower, with July S162d1. .e214 and September s1. .531aa1. 54is. Oats lost sale In pro- visions the outcome was unchanged to 25c higher. Among corn traders, it was popular view that more nearly normal field conditions might now with good reason be looked for. The fact that since the beginning of the season. April 1, this was the first day without freeZ- ing in some portion of the belt attracted widespread notice, and so, too, did num- erous reports of clear skies in place of word of further excessive rainfall. Talk of Iowa importing from Argentina con- tinued as an additional handicap to the bulls. Gossip persisted that an impor- tant concern at Cedar Rapids was seri- ously figuring on entering, supplies to be made available by barge shipments up the Mississippi.
 Oats eased down with corn. Trade, however, was mainly of local charac- ter
 Higher quotations on hogs lifted provi- sions. Offerings were scarce, and the market finished at virtually the top fig ures of the session. Notwithstanding g corn declines leading interests gave sup port to the advance.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. May 10.-The market opened somewhat higher this morning, but the failure of the weather map to show any heavy rains in the Atlantic states, as expected, led to hesitation, which soon became a decline when the stock market began to break. There was enough trade demand to check the market around p cents for October and business remained cuiet until the close Some southern selling appeared, but the bulk of the lMuidation appeared to come from local ities in sympathy with the lower securi- ties market There is no change in either the general situation nor in sentiment. The market will remain particularly sen- sitive to bad weather or crop complaints There was little or no foreign business today and demand from that quarter is probably satisfied for the moment until more freight is available. We expect larger export figures as result of t'e business done the past few weeks.-Hub- bard Brothers X Co.

Pioneer Press: Saloons at Bowlus

"a charge made in an anonymous letter
received yesterday by julius A.

Several men at Bowlus were intox-

the unlawful liquor sales may be stop

The names of two women, said to
have been beaten by their husbands,
