GRAIN PIT EAGER
 ID REALIZE AND
 CORN WEAKENED
Staple Closed 3-Sc to 1 1-2c Lower, With Oats Follow ing and Provisions
 Strong
By Associated Press

Chicago, April 15.-Lagerness to realize on holdings weakened the corn market to- day after May delivery influenced by continued wet weather had reached the highest price level yet this season. The close was heavy, Sc to 112c net lower, with May s15s94 to $1.57& and July, s1.52Ss to s1.52ss Oats finished ssc to 1c down. In provisions, the outcome ranged from 15c decline to 95c advance.
 Prospects that the crop movement would be interfered with as a result of the pre- vailing widespread rains gave an advant- age at the outset to the bulls in corn. This condition, however, lasted only until a new top price for the season had been established in the May option. Then the general desire which longs which showed to take profits, started the market down grade.
 Reports that some of the corn arriving here was out of condition, led to some thing of a reaction, but eastern demand was slow, and the effect failed to last
 Oats reflected the weakness Of corn, notwithstanding that seeding delays were spoken of as bad in some sections.
 Provisions like corn ran ip to new high price levels and then reacted sharp lv on profit taking The fresh upturn was partly due to advance !n British government quotations.

NEW HIGH RECORDS
 ARE MADE IN NEW STYLE DELIVERIES
Final Tone of Market Was Steady, With Last Prices Sh0 wing 2 to 46 Points
 Gain

New York, April 15.-The cotton market showed dontinued strength today with all the new btyie deliveries making new high records May contracts at 2710c and Oc- tober at g. .99c, or 45 to 66 points above last nights final, and AS to 525 points above thu low levels of last month. The close wa|s several points off from the best, at 26.s5c for May and 23.S7c for October under realizing but the final tone of the market was steady with last prices slE towing net gains of % to 4s points. Old style positions were q to 72 points net higher.
 The m #rket evened steady at an ad7 vance of no to A points on higher Liver pool cables and bullish overnight reports from the goods trade. The buying was stimulated h by an unfavorabe forecast for the caste Tn belt weather but after show ing net kains of about 5 to 40 points, the market eased under realizing and southern selling. Otherwise there was very lit 1e pressure and the market firmed D again during the middle of the day dn general buying accompanied by reports that some of the southern spot holders W ere beginning to withdraw their offers. New crop months were relatively firm on A broadening commission house demand, while there was also buying by continental and Japanese interests as we'll ab by houses with Liverpool and domestic trade connections. The de- mand the h subsided and there was some further southern selling as well real izing on the closing reaction. The report of the census bureau showed domestic mill cons sumption of only 43S720 bales for March compared with 571, AS last year. These fig,Eres were considered dlsappolnt-
 ing from a bullish standpoint and prob ably led do some scattered selling early, but the market seemed to be generally dominated by prospects for early peace and unce1 tainty regarding the new crop start No exports today

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, April 15.-Higher prices were forced in cotton today by heavy buying and although stiff reaction 1ol- lowed the revision in spot quotations the close show led net advances for the day of 8 to 41 points. At the highest levels prices wece 64 to 69 points up, May touch ing 26.09c. The peace news of over night was the main influnce back of the buy ing.
 The opening was higher in the face of even s mailer American consumption for March, in the report issued at o'clock by the census bureau than ex- pected After the call advance was ad- vanced on buying for both accounts. Around tn middle of the day shorts covered in volume on reports of a larger spot businAss and reports of fresh rains in the central belt. There was also much talk about unfavorabie features in the weekly crdp reports due tomorrow from the government The weather map itself was favord Lble but led to no selling or consequence e.
 Spots we're revised by keeping middling and the gEades above unchanged while grades below middling were raised by 50 points, thus narrowing the discount on the lower grades by. that amount This was construed as being again the value of the contract and reaction ot oo points from the topmost levels followed.

WALL STREET SEES ANOTHER STRONG AND ACTIVE MARKET United States Steel Comes Back Strong, Making a Gain of 3-4 Points in the
 Last Hour
By Associated Press

New York, April 15.-The approach ing completion of the peace treaty. as outlined by latest cables from Paris, and the encouragement shown in high financial circles towards the coming Victory Loan provided the foundation for another strong and very active ses- sion of the stock market today.
 The movement differed from that CT recent sessions, however, in that ship ping shares were the foremost is- sues, their gross advances of to ' points syncronizing with rumors of the proposed formation of a big shipping combination.
 Oils were next in favor, gains in that division ranging from ? to 6 points. Then came equipments at to points advances, motors at to 21a points and a score of unclassified shares at higher levels of to points.
 Rails were again handicapped by the further heaviness of St. Paul issues ard some of the coalers, but Southern Pa cific held a part of it's 2-point ad- vance, although other transcontinen- tals were duh or inclined to heaviness.
 United States Steel threw off much of its recent pressure, making it's high est quotation of 995s gain Of II of a point in the extremely active deal- ings that marked the final hour.
 Among the strongest features were Pacific Mall, Atlantic Gulf, Marine com mon and preferred, and United Fruit, also Mexican Petroleum, Texas com- pany, Pan-Americ Sinclair Oil, Bald win Locomotive, American Locomotive, General Electric, American Woolen and Industrial Alcohol Metals. feathers tobaccos and motor accessories con- tributed their usual proportions, but food and fertilizer issues were less prominent, Wilson company reactinG 5 points on selling attributed to disap- pointment at the low rate of the initial dividend announced yesterday. Sales amounted to 1.225,000 shares.
 The bond market, including Liberty issues, was hesitant on reduced offer ings Total sales (par value), aggre- gated $13,375, 900.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. April 15.-Liverpbol was again sharply higher than due this morning causing a higher opening here southern spot houses, as well as Liverpool were good buyers, es- pecially of the near positions This, together with better prospects of peace and rainy weather in Texas, brought Wall street buyers, who advanced the market to near the 24c level for Octo- Der. The south then turned sellers against spots. which is to be expected each time a new high apears. In fact, this should increase on any further ad- vance.
 With the approach of thee asier hol- idays further profit taking may be eX- pected unless there iss ome foreign news of unusually favorable character. Hubbard Bros. & Co.

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

|. I
 New orleans, April 15.-The peace news
 of overnight containing the official an
 nouncement that the Germans have been
 invited to Versailles on April 9, put the
 price of cotton up for strong gainA today
 in the face of smalled consumption fig
 ures than expected and a favorable
 weather map. The advance persisted un- til after the spot revision was announced and then there was a reaction Of a points. At the highest levels of the day the trading months were 64 to 69 points over the close of yesterday. The opening was higher, on the peace news and no attention was paid to the census figures showing a total consump- tion in this country during March of A. o7S bales of cotton and linters against 442 2sS in February of this year and 6So, : 71o in March of last year. The weather man was cloudy but dry and wai-m. in dicating conditions which would allow nIantiur to go ahead in most sections where the soil has been prepared. The forecast was not altogether favorable because of the probability of rains in Alabama and Mississippi and portions of Louisiana and North Carolina. bht this was offset by expectations of bullish weekly crop returns from the govern ment at 10 0 clock tomorrow.
 Shot quotations were revised, mlddlins and grades above unchanged, while grades below were raised by 50 points, thus narrowing the discount on the lower grades by that amount. It was argued that this lessened the value of contract and a reaction followed. Such reaLctions are to be expected following recent ad vances but it will be difficult tp hold down if tomorrow's crop reports are un- favorable The market closed at net for the day of S5 to 70 points.
