New Orleans, June 4.-Heavy~ selling

 points at the lowest levels Late in the session the market was somewhat stead

 tom The selling wave commenced in New York yesterday was felt In Liver
 pool before the American markets opened today and caused a weak opening here with a continued decline until about the middle of the session when compara- lively small recoveries occurred. Belief in the technical weakness of the mar ket appeared to be the main reason Tor the offerings. Much liquidation came from the long side, so that on the close today the market appears to be much healthier than it has been for some time.
 The market was forced to lower levels in the face of weekly crop reports from the government which cannot be called l anything but bad and which, the more l they are studied the more bad they ap- pear, when it is considered that this IS ] the first week in June and sta3a Tn | the growing season when the young plant should be at it's best.

HURLEY OUTLINES PLAN FOR ADDING
 NEW SHIP ROUTES
Announcement of Shipping Boards Plans Arouses Enthusiasm at the Pan-
 American Session
sy Associated Pres,

Washington, June 4.-Establishment of new steamship routes between the United States and South and Central America, with resultant extension of mail facilities, including parcel post of the western hemisphere, were out lined at today's sessions of the Pan- American commercial congress by Ed- ward N. Hurley, chairman of the ship ping board, and otto Praeger, assist ant postmaster genera.
 The announcement by Chairman Hurley that the shipping board plans, within six months. to institute direct steamship service connecting Amer- ican Atlantic. Gulf and Pacific ports with South and Central America aroused the greatest enthusiasm. MT. Praeger asserted that under re- cent conventions parcel post servlce by the United States and all Latin American countries had been insli- tuted, urged the development of the service as means of improving trade relations between the Americas" Ex- tensivei parcel post service is carried on With Mexico. Mir. Praeger said, and - 'hSf NSiitldl AHer1cdn republics Honduras, and of the South American n countries. Columbia, lead in the mum Der Of parcels transported. Extension of parcel post service and building up Of trade, he added, are synonymous.
 One of the features of today.s ses- sions were a plain talk to American business men by Carlos Areilano. a leading merchant of Mexico.
 Many of the American manufactur- CTS, accustomed to dispose of their goods in the first market" said Senor Arellano, have paid little attention to the suggestions made to them by the Latin American purchasers. When tie latter ask for a small change in cer- tain kinds of goods, in order to ad- just them with the price of same or to comply with local habits or tastes the former reply ordinarily and brief "; This is what we produce and this is what we sell And if it is asked of them to make some practical change in packing, according to the exigencies of the consuming market, they also refuse to take same into considera- tion.
 Naturally, as the Latin American merchants are accustomed to buy in Europe, in whose industrial centers these gladly comply with the modifi- cations sought. it is to be inferred that when the European manufacturers are in a position to renew their exports the industries of similar goods of this country will find them selves anew with serious competition

The trade demand does not appear so active as has here tcfcre been the case. although sentiment here is still in favor of the market. It is pointed out that part of the strength ir the goods market arises from the shorter hours worked in the mills. This natural ly means somewhat smaller domestic consumption. On the other hand weather conditions are not yet satisfactory as showers continue in the Atlantic. Busi- ness was not active today, and on the g hcle the market was steady on the de cline.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.
