American Cotton and Grain Exchange
New York Futures.
New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans May 29.-During the great CT part of the session in cotton today the market felt pressure, which was severe at times, from liquidation on the long side induced by the holidays at the end Of the week. the bureau report Monday and the uncertainty over world politics. Around the opening and again around the close there were periods during which the market went to a net advance, rains in the belt being the reason for buying The close was five points down to IS up, compared with yesterdays last prices.
 On the first call the nearer positions were 5 to 23 points up on the good Liv- erpool and the wet weather map put immediately after the call selling in large volume was felt and it continued until, toward noon, the active months were tu to 63 points under yesterdays final prices. July selling off to 31.16. After this de- cline a steadier tone developed and the market commenced to recover. It was helped by a private condition report or 75.2 per cent of the normal, many pri- vate messages telling of much rain ID the belt, the forecast of more rain in the eastern half of the cotton region, ana, finally, of unconfirmed rumors that the Germans had signed the peace treaty. Later in the day prices were IS to 5l points over yesterdays quotation. In the last few minutes of business prices eased off again under renewed liquidation.

Over Private Wires
Hubbard Bros. & Co.s Letter

New York, May 29.-The market today was steadier than yesterday, although in the early trading new low records were made on continued liquidation prior to the three-day holiday. The time for the terms of peace to be signed by the Ger mans expires during this holiday and there is, of course, some question as to what the effect may be upon the vari- ous markets should they refuse to sign. It is not generally believed that any such refusal is more than mere temporary expedient to gain time in Germany, but there might be some influence on the markets. This consideration has un- doubtedly added some influence in the liquidation which proceeded early in our market. There was subsequently a re- covery as the liquidation appeared to have run it's course, ard it is generally felt that any postponemsnt in the sign
 ing of the peace treaty is purely a tenn porary matter. Moreover, it is expected that the bureau report which comes out Monday will show a condition of around 7o to 16. Ttis is a comparatively low condition although the condition two years ago in 1917 was about 69 and the condition in 1914 was only "A. That year the crop had excellent weather and re covered very rapidly from an unfavoraole start We are of the opinion that the wea ther after the first of the month will have great influence upon the market In view of thesr facts.-H.

AN EARLY BREAK IN COTTON FOLLOWED
 GOOD RECOVER|ES
General List Closed Steady at a Net Loss of g Points on July, But Higher
 on New Crop
By Associated Press

New York. May 29.-A moderately ac- tive business in the cotton market today was attributed largely to the evening of commitments for over the three-day adjournment and the government report on Monday. Trade interests were buyers, however, and a sharp early break was fol- lowed by recoveries, with October selling up from so.1sc to S0.eOc and closing at S0S2c, or seven points net higher. The general list closed steady at a net loss of nine points on July. but from five to 14 points higher on the new crop months The relatively easy ruling of July was attributed to rumors that some cotton was to be delivered on June contracts The New Orleans market will not be open Liverpool will be open tomorrow when New York is closed and the situation in this respect increased the disposition to close out speculation accounts here to- day
 The market opened easy at a decline of five to IA points under rather active realizing on liquidation.
 The close was within a few points of the best. A local firm issued a crop re- port placing the condition at 76S per cent and the decrease in acreage at 9.4 per cant. The weather map showed further showers in eastern and central sections of the belt and the outlook was believed to be for cloudy weather with further showers over the holiday.

TRADERS WERE BUSY EVENING UP TRADES IN GRAIN MARKET
Corn Was NerOvus and Switched About in the Pit, While Oats Were
 Stronger
By Associated Press

Chicago, May 29.-Evening up of trades so as to be prepared for the holiday tomorrow brought about ral- lies in the corn market today, partly offsetting sharp declines due to pres poets of big deliveries Saturday on May contracts. The close was nervous at the same as yesterdays finish to 6L c lower with July s1.e4% to S1.65 and September s1.56% to s1.564. Oats closed Ac off to 1c up and pro- visions at 15c to soc advance
 Acute weakness in the May delivery of corn became apparent as soon as trading began, but May, unlike the other months showed little or no re- cuperative power. A break of nearly Sc for May resulted before that de- livery became relatively steady The bulk of trading. however, was in the later options, July and September which were depressed by the bearish action of May, but only to moderate extent. In pouring of corn from the country, nevertheless made longs anx- ious to accept profits. On the other hand July and September shorts, who wished to cover, were forced to com pete with each other briskly.
 Signs of export demand gave strength to oats
 Provisions were higher owing to an advance in the hog market and to completion of resales of government lard and meats.

indicate an acceptance of the treaty. the market would experience wild ad- vance on sentiment, whereas word of a refusal to sign could cause another break.
 Spots are firm, but business is smaller owing to the decline In futures. Freight people report eager demand for room particularly for Liverpool, and as much as 75 cents premium is paid over the or dlnary port rate to get cotton on liners to get it over quickly to catch the high basis at present paid in Liverpool on benders cotton.
 The market continued very nervous and produced wide and rapid fluctuations. The decline to SIC for October was fol- lowed by rally of 50 points, then break of 40 points. The paucity of news and comment in the noon press supplied inspiration both ways. It says the coun- ter proposals of Germany have been handed to the French authorities. Reply received in instalments. Head plenipo- tentiary made arrangements to hurry away as soon as reply is delivered. Yet on the whole the opinion prevails that in case of unfavorabe news and break in the market 1t would be a purchase on the discount of futures under spots, the extent of the reaction and the probability of bullish bureau condition Monday.
 The market in the early afternoon had sharp rally on progressive covering by short scalpers on nothing more than the idea that somebody else may have good news Reports of rains in Mississippi helped the recovery to 30 cents for De- tober and with spot steady and un- changed to 32.3sc for middling, the con tract market held steadier around these figures during the last hour, and after ranging within a limit of 75 to S5 points, closed steady and unchanged for July to 15c up for later positions. This is the second day that the market, after a range of from 75 to 90 points, has closed practically at the same figures. The de- duction is that there is practically evenly balanced interest existing at pres ent, and the course of the market will be governed by weather conditions and the spot demand.
 Spots here today were unchanged; mid ding, 32.3Sc; sales, 3463. Interior spot mar kets are 25 to 75 points lower In the eastern district; unchanged to IS down in the west; fair business done.-John r. Clark & Co.

R n. Rurper's Letters

New Orleans, May 29.-Although cli- matic conditions in the interior remain generally unsatisfactory, scattered snow CTS over all cotton states continuing with prospects for more rain over nearly the whole belt, and trade advices remain ing bullish, market was depressed this morning. owing to further liquidation in advance of the holidays and because or fear Germany will not sign the peace treaty.
 Today the Watkins bureau. New YorK, issued a report, their returns indicating an average condition of the crop of 7o.2 per cent. The average of private crop condition reports issued far figures 762 per cent The bureau report will be issued next Monday morning. Returns will compare with S2.3 last year and the ten-year average of 79.2.
 Press advices are to the effect that Germany made formal reply to the allied peace terms, taking issue on nearly all important demands. Indications are that Germany will be given only 72 hours to sign the treaty or suffer tightening or the blockade or an invasion of that coun- try by the allied armies Chances are that the enemy will sign at the last mo- ment, just as she made formal reply at the last minute.
 Washington reports noticeable upward trend in business during May, especially in the leading retail trades which have felt the release of buying power held back by the war Such report having been made by the federal reserve board returns pointing to summer and au- tumn of unusual activity, with prices showing no tendency to fall.
 The cotton goods markets were qu1eter yesterday. attributed to further with drawals of certain goods from sales Prices are tending higher, owing to stocks being depleted fast
 There remains a good demand for spots in Liverpool and in the south, with hoid- CTS indisposed to make concessions
 In the immediate future, however. val ues will likely be influenced mainly ny deyelonments with Germany, by weather conditions and by next Mondays govern ment crop condition reports.-H. and E. Beer.

New Orleans. May 29.--While the cotton market experienced a great deal of liquidation today. it maintained a steady tone and after the declines or the early hours made fairly strong re- coveries More pressure to sell than was seen might naturally have been expected under the unsettled conditions which the trade faces. Tomorrow the New York market closes for triple holidays and Saturday the New Orleans market closes for double holiday, while the early hours on Monday bring the first condition report of the season. On top of everything is the crisis reached in the negotiations with Ger many.
 On the first call the near positions were to 23 points up, but the market soon slumped under liquidation and gradually fell until 1t stood SO to 63 points lower than the close or yester- day. Reports of much rain in the belt during the day and the rumor that Germany had signed the treaty helped the market make almost a complete recovery.
 The weather map was wet and all evidence pointed to increased damage in the belt through excessive moisture. The forecast called for general rains in the eastern belt. A feature of the day was the Watkins bureau condi- ton figures of 75.2, strengthening be- lief in the government figures well un- der the 10-year average of l9. The course of the market tomorrow will probably depend large on what the po- litical dispatches of overnight reveal
 Late in the day fresh buying ap- peared and sent prices IS to S7 points over yesterdays close. Last prices were points of to 19 points up net. Shepard & Gluck.

Monthly Review of Federal Reserve Board Puts Much Pep Into Wall Street
 Crowd
By Associated Press

New York, May 2e.-The course of to- Hays stock market, from occasional in- tervals of comparative dullness, conveyed |no suggestion of any misgivings by finan- |cial or speculative interests of unto fward developments over the triple holi- |day While much of the activity and greatest gains centered in specialties, rep |resentative issues, including investment |rails, shared substantially in the move |ment, the shipping group proving the only conspicuous excertion.
 Traders derived much encouragement from the monthly review of the federal reserve board, which confirmed less au- thcritative reports of the country-wioe prosperity, tending to many branches or trade and industry Advices from agri- cultural centers were in keeping with recent optimistic forecasts and the mer- cantile agencies emphasized the magni- tude of the grain exports, extension or the iron and steel recovery and yer itable boom in feathers, textiles and other important commodities.

DUN'S REVIEW

New York. May 29.-Duns tomorrow will say:
 That the nation is entering upon an era of commercial expansion that may conceivably set many new precedents, each succeeding weeks advices make clearer. Not every important line is as yet participating vigorously in the for ward movement but some records have already been broken both in magnitude of transactions and in prices and the exist ing foreign uncertainties, with the de- lay in the actual adoption of the peace treaty. have not prevented a further broadening of demands from overseas markets. What is particularly signifi- cant in the domestic situation, apar: from the freer operation of natural eco- homie forces as war time regulations are lifted or modified, is the diminish ing likelihood of any general commodity price recessions and the active efforts of many buyers to provide against future requirements. This reversal of purchas- ing disposition contrasting sharply with the former policy of limiting committ- ments almost exclusively to the barest ne- cessties has been especially pronounced in hides and leather and footwear and textiles and it has become more apparent in the great iron and steel industry since the abandonment of price stabiliZ- ing measures in that quarter.
