proved well above normal and wet May lays poor foundation for a cotton crop. Even in Texas complaints are heard rom some important sections of excess n}1is- ture, while in the eastern belt such com plairts are growing more numerous daiiy and it looks as if early June advices re- garding the crop may be decidedly b~-- ish Exports were small today and being only 400 bales, but it. is reliably stated that the ocean freight situation will be decidedly easier next month and exports increase accordingly. For the first tifhe since the war started there is said to be a demand for spots from Poland and the impression is growing that the Flu ropean demand generally will expand as rapidly as financial arrangements can be completed. With trade advices strong and improving and the crop getting off to a poor start it does not look like good time to be short.
 The volume of trading goes on undi- minished, showing the momentum which the market has obtained and consideS ing that the good news like the success of the Victory loan and the peace set clement in Paris is now out, there has been remarkably little reaction in prices and the general tone has been strong. The more recently much pulled special ties are, to be sure, somewhat lower to- day, but the copper stocks for the nrst time in many weeks show more strength and activity. especially Anaconda. which is benefited by it's large production -or silver, now showing higher prices. Tho rails also somewhat better. This cer- tainly is not based on any earnings as the present net figures arc lanientabls, but it Is based on the belief that Con eress is going to make decided effo-. to solve this problem It is certainly difficult in view of the enormous wage scale which has been imposed on tsa railroads The market as whole stfn shows strong vitality but there does seem to be more healthy disinclination to fol- low up furiously advancing prices in specialties.
