Chicago, H., May 21-Early bullish sen- timent put May corn to $1. 79a4 for a new high; other months cents Profit talk ing in last hour developed a weak mar bet for while, but in final trading there was some rally.
 The hog market was inclined to weak ness and there was talk of lower com modity prices, but in corn the small SUD- ply indicates strong pEice to the new crop.
 The weeks receipts were IA, GOO less than
 last week to date and shipments S5,000
 less.
 The opposition to continuing the brew
 ing interest until the constitutional pro- hibition was not reflected in the demand for barley Oats shared in the run of corn The receipts were 107, 900 under last week; shipments 247,000 more. The lateness of new crop precludes any new oats in July except from the southwest and will have sustaining tendency on price recessions.
 Provision market was little affected by the New York report that efforts were being made to cancel provision purchases, but averaged slightly lower. Trade was trifle larger.

 As expected, the weekly weather. and crop government report was bullish as a while, but discounted by the recent big advance in market. Favorable progress was made in most states from Louisiana and Arkansas eastward except in Ten nessee eastern Arkansas and much of Mississippi, where progress was poor as a result of wet soil, and mostly poor progress was made in Texas and Okla homa as a result of recent rains. There is considerable complaint of grassy fields in some central and western localities of the belt
 Nevertheless the fundamental features of the situation remain bullish.

 New York. May 21.-We have had the long delayed announcement of the final cohSummation of the International Mer- cahtlle Marine deal with the British in terests and, as usual under such cir- suhstances, the moment of the definite eonhrmation has been taken by the professionals to liquidate large blocks or the stock which many of them held.
 Wall street today has been full of rumors of various oil deals, particular ly Tn reference to a combination ru- mored between the Royal Dutch, Mexi- can Petroleum and Pan-Ameriean com panies. The general tendency has been towards reaction. Tomorrow will bean interesting day as the time expires then III Whlch the Germans must either sign or reject the peace treaty as presented to them, although of course they may De granted moderate extension of tune. As We have said above the gen. efal tone Of the market has been much more reactionary than p some time. Total sales, l, ,460,400
 Trading in cotton has been less ac- tive today, but the market has shown a good deal of irregularity and sen timent as to the imm ediate future ap- pears mixed. Some feel that the char acter of the buying is less trust worthy, and rather speculative, so that contracts are passing into weaker hands, but the demand as we have ob- served 1t comes chiefly from trade houses, except where it is to cover shorts, and we are much of the opin. ion that large quantity of contracts have been locked up not to come to lIght again until they are replaced by the actual stuff itself No exports were reported today but an active demand for spots in the south is in evidence steadily, and a large outward movement IS expected in the next few weeks as many steamers are due at southern ports as the shipping board has allotted others to the cotton trade for late May sailing. The advance has been very ex- tensive and the opinion is expressed that turn in the tide is overdue, but Tor the past two years movements in either direction have much exceeded ex- pectations, and the present shows no sign as yet of having actually culmi- nated.--Post & F'lagg

New Orleans May 2l-The tendency in cotton today was to react, although the selling movement at no time gained any very great headway Whenever the mar ket steadied liquidation came from the
 long side and an increased number of
 traders on the short side appeared to be
 working for a downturn. Offerings were
 held within bounds by the unfavorable features in the weekly crop reDorts. the continued big business done in goods and the continued upward tendency in spots, the spot market here being quoted 25 points up for middling. 29ssc. Around the opening prices were r to g points off under liquidation. Fairly good sup
 hort was offered, the decline was recov- cred and the market sent Il to 13 points higher than the close of yesterday The weekly crop reports at 10 o'clock seemed to be regarded as a standoff and the ring became dull and finally developed an easy feeling under renewed liquidation At the lowest the trading months were % to fl points under the close of yes- terday Recoveries in the afternoon car ried prices back to within about 10 points of yesterdays close.
 The weekly returns from the belt were favorable for part of the belt, but were unfavorable for at least half of the cot ton region. This can hardly be called from the standpoint of those people who have been talking about a large crop. Further reactions may be witnessed in the near future, but our view is that they will put she market In good shape for fresh advances. Closing prices were at net losses of B to s points.

 The bullish current has been generally rising on increased mill activity, strong dry goods markets, increased shipping and spot buying competition and unfa- vorable new crop influences, and its flow has been accelerated by considerable de- velopment of general speculative support. On professional reasoning, the markets should come to halt. as the disparity between futures and spots has been re- moved However, the bullish current IS TOW so strong that it will take some time to satisfy it, and cratic markets with wide. quick fluctuations favorable to quick trading either way, although sell ing on bulges may find preference.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York, May H.-Cables this morn
 ing before our opening didA not respond to the sharp advance here yesterday, but our market on the whole showed very strong undertone through the day. Heavy realizing was in progress and the char acter of the buying is not as good as it has been in the recent past. There is, however, light or no change in sentiment. which remains very bullish, anticipating con tinued bad weather, The weekly weather report today was less favorable than expected. particularly as the un- favorable portion had to do with rain in Texas and Oklahoma. The Atlantic states summary was generally speak ing favorable. It is fair and warm CT in the western belt and there appears to be some chance that this condition will extend to the east. We think that the trade demand was much less in evi- dence today than earlier in the week at lower prices As we remarked above, there is no change in speculative senti- ment, which. is anything, is more bullish than before.

CAMP PA|GN AGAINST SHEEP-K|LL|NG DOCS IS ID BE STATEWIDE Civic Association Prepares Law and Will Ask the
 Legislature to
 Pass It.

1 In furtherance of the campaign for an effective law against eep-killing dogs l in Alabama, the farmers cooperative committee of the Civic association held a meeting yesterday and agreed upon several essential provisions of the law which will be recommended to the legis- lature next July. Present at the meet ing were Chairman J. H. McCary, F. w. Dixon. w. NJ. Drennen. Capt Frank S. White, sr, James Weatherly, A. Ash. w. H. Staton and Secretary Manager c. l.. Harold.
 "All dogs to be confined from sunset to
 sunrise unless under a leach or under
 reasonable control of their owners" was
 regarded by the committee as perhaps the
 most essential feature in the proposed
 law
 Another section agreed upon is as fol- lows:
 owner of a dog, known to kill sheep to be required to kill, or cause to be killed, such dog within 4s hours after notification under a penalty of B and sJ per day thereafter until the dog is killed ,"
 Members of the committee recited spe- cific instances of how sheep and goats, as well as poultry, are being wantonly killed by dogs of both the mongrel and the highest bred types. w. M Drennen told of the recent loss of 100 sheep and goats by the dog route and promised, with several other members of the com mittee. to go to Montgomery to secure the support of the governor and the legis- lature in the enactment of law with teeth in it which will encourage and protect the sheep industry which is now on the decline in Alaama.
 The activities of the committee have aroused a statewide interest, accord ing to numerous letters which have come to the Civic association and individual members. After two hours deliberation the committee instructed MT. Weatherly to draft a bill embracing the ideas of the as tentatively agreed upon, and submit the draft to another meet ing of the committee to be held in a few days for final approval
 The secretary-m y-manager was directed to secure the cooperation of every civic and commercial organization throughout the state in the agitation for passage of the law.
