Weekly Metal Review
By Associated Press

New York. May 4.-New bookings in iron and steel are reported very light at the present time The trade here is at a loss just how to take the situation at Washington. Producers here can point to little action in the movement of finished products overseas. It has been stated that inquiries which have been received have in most instances failed to materialize into orders because of uncertain conditions here. The large export combine of independent interests formed under the Webb law has report ed small tonnages moving toward South America, Japan and China, but the ship ments are still far below expectations.
 In pig iron there has been some shad- ing of prices on the few isolated orders which have been noted. This, however. does not apply to steel products, man. ufacturers pointing out that they are unable to make any reductions from the levels adopted by the industrial board in view of the increased operating ex.' penses due to the scarcity of orders from consumers.
 The local copper market continues quiet and the consumers are filling oniy to meet immediate needs. This policy has been adopted because of the huge stocks of the red metal in this country. The range in the local market is around 15ssml51ac a pound, but there are rumors to the effect that smaller interests still have some supplies of the metal at l9Ac pound. Production figures for April thus far received show little change from the levels reported for March.
 The price of lead as quoted by the leading interest here remains unchanged at 5c a pound Outside interests, how ever, have shaded their quotations. The present price is 4S0c. Spelter has shown a weaker tone during the week.

THE WORLDS MARKETS
Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press


 New York, May 4.-Almost the only was the suspension of the extra dis bursement on United States Steel com mon, reducing it's dividend status to the pre-wer rate and offering additional evil dence of the general reaction in that in- dustry.
 This was further borne out by the quarterly statement in which monthly earnings showed a steady decline, the aggregate being the smallest for any similar period since the middle of 1915.
 Apart from these developments, the market in the main moved to higher ground, regardless of the note of eau tion sounded by conservative financial interests and the extensive cashing fin of speculative profits which accompanied such warnings
 Dealings increased to the years high est and broadest dimensions, compre hending many issues. notably obscure rails of the several classes which have undergone drastic reorganization during the past decade.
 So-called oil rails resumed their up- ward swing at further gains of to k points, supplemented by a continuance of the boom in petroleum issues of many different varieties and origin. X ShlpplngS proved natural concomltant of the more extensive accumulation of peace industrials,. the latter also esn- bracing food, fertilizer and chemical shares of companies converted to pest war bases. |
 The movement as whole was again mainly accelerated by favorable domes- tic factors which laid the foundation for the rise some ten weeks ago. Chief among these the excellent crop outlook, general business conditions, which im- proved substantially during the month of April and the greater strength of the country's economic position.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Assseiatsd Prsss

New Orleans. May 4.-After moving over a range of from 100 to 132 points last week, contracts in cotton closed 22 points up for May. from 8 to 47 points net lower on the later months. May closed at 27.6oc, or 15 points from the highest for the week, and the highest price yet attained by the new contract. Spots closed s7 points net higher on middling at 2sc,
 The improved demand for spot cotton, especially the better grades, was the most powerful influence at work. and it completely offset the more favorable turn of weather conditions in the belt. which at the end of the week led to predictions of a favorable set of reports from the government next Wednesday. Daily re ports ofa large business being done in finished cotton goods at firm and higher prices intensified the effect of spot ac- counts. Underlying other stimulating features was a feeling of satisfaction over the way things were going at the peace conference, and it was constantly claimed that much of the buying done in the spot department was in anticipation of the expansion of trade in cotton goods that an early peace would bring
 This week the opening will be influ- enced probably by weather, spot and pOilltdl Ht@Sf put lAlt ssAitAANCc dtC eAAc- trading will be small because of the hol- iday Tuesday on account of the celebra- ton in New York because of the home coming of the Sevent y-seventh division of troops. New Orleans will also be closed in accordance with the agreement concerning holidays between the two markets. After the holiday the main trading influence probably will be the weekly crop accounts of Wednesday Tbav will he ipaportant for the season is now far enough advanced to allow re- ports of large business being done in the entire belt. Any political develop ments out of the ordinary will, of course be quickly reflected by price changes and there is always the chance that political news may be ot such nature as to com pletely dominate the market.

Women to Vote in the

Atlanta, May 4.-Women were given the right to vote in the democratic white primary of Atlanta, which, with rare exceptions, is equivalent to elec- tion, by action of the city executive committee here late today.
 The vote was 24 to l. The primary will be held in the fall, when places of number of councilmen and alder men are to be filled. Since the execu- tive committee determines the qualifi- cations for each primary, it would be possible for the committee next year to bar women voters.

showed no evidence OF central or

aorta. Otherwise the organs were
normal. An exhaustive chemical ex-
