COTTON MARKETS
Market Steady and Narrow.
Consumption and Weather
Reports of Small Weight.

Wednesday Afternoon, May H.
Steadiness ruled In the market to-
day and fluctuations we're rather mar
row. which reflected continuance OF
bullish sentiment, although the weekly
weather summary was less bullish than
/ expected md the prospect was for bet
ter conditions in the belt. The ensus
report on consumption during April was
about as expected, having some bullish
! features to offset those Of opposite
character The mills used during the
month 475, 1853 bales, as against SALES
same time last year, but the increase
over March was indicative Of widened
activity In manufacturing, while stocks
in the hands Of spinners showed a rel
alive decrease Of ITO bales, COM
pared with even date a year ago.
Q Liverpool was fully up TO expecta-
tons for near months, but the distant
Jagged behind some, although the gen.
erai tone Of the foreign market was
steady. Finals were quiet but steady
at q net gain OF IL to 26 points Spots
were marked up 10 points, middding to
II. 40d, with sales 5000 bales, including
1900 American. The promise Of more
ships for June sailing from this sid
evidently Is encouraging hope OF larger
receipts over there and thus helps de-
press the nearby positions. Receipts for
today were $4,000 bales, including 1900
American.
At the opening on this side but little
change was shown n traders welts
waiting for the consumption report.
The weather map showed up better
than for some days, although further
rains were received overnight in the
upper eastern belt, July in New York

They dipped to elise and 25.51c. re-
spectively, but met supporting orders.
Spot people we're buying some and a
few of the early sellers turned to cover,
presumably because they expected the
weekly summary to be bullish. Ihis
sent prices moderately higher, and when
II came better than expected there wal
little or no pressure, For n reason
or another there was good buying power
and July worked up as high as 27.50c
and October to 25.S3c. There then fol-
lowed a period Of backing and filling
without much change, but a moderate
noon,
Advices from the spot department
told OF continued good demand and It
was announced that more ships had
beeV allocated to New Orleans and
Galveston for sailing in June. Advices
also said that there was promise OF
larger c%learances during the rest Of
the month, while nome OF the private
reports said that big spot people were
hullish on the prospects for the de-
mand to continue. In New Orleans busi-
ness for the day was large. 6,l66 bales

LLOYD GEORGE NOT TO
SEE IRISH DELEGATES

LONDON, May l4.-It was learned
Tuesday night in official quarters that
Frank p. Walsh, Edward Dunno and
Michael r. Ryan, representatives Of
Irish societies In the United States, who
have been visiting Dublin and other
by Premier Lloyd George on their re-
turn to Paris, nor will they be accorded
any official or semiofficial recognition.
According to a Reuters dispatch from
Paris. Col. House, who had promised to
endeavor TO arrange an interview be-
British premier. has now, in view Of
their activities in Ireland, decided not
to act rs an Intermediary.
The report that the premier had AN
celed arrangements to receive delegates
was current In Dublin today, but could
not be confirmed. Mr.. Dunno and Mfr.
Ryan reached London last night, but
declined to make any statement. Mr..
Walsh remained In Dublin when his
colleague left that city.
Mr.. Lloyd George has been subjected
to most bitter attacks for his alleged
encouragement of the delegates activ-
tiles, which are regarded as unwarrant-
ed interference with British domestic
affairs, Even a serious journal like
h Spectator has gone so far as to
assert that a dangerous conspiracy is
afoot for committing the premier and
the British government to virtual rec
ognition of the Irish republic. Other
newspapers complain that the fact that
the delegates have fraternized with
Sim Fein leaders has given the Sim
Fein movement new life, besides plac-
ing the British authorities In Ireland
In an embarrassing position, The ques-
ton has been asked what would be
thought II q British delegation should
visit tho United States on a mission OF
n like character.
