New York May 11.-All previous rec ords of the year for activity and breadth of movement on the stock ex- change were surpassed this week with daily dealings averaged highest levels in several years and rails. though rela- lively backward were at the years maximum, due manly to q recurrent in- quiry for low priced issues.
 Speculative interest again concen- trated to an extraordinary degree on oils and shippings, gains in those di- visions attaining almost sensational proportions under lead of Texas com pany and Atlantic Gulf
 Additional impetus was derived from some of the most important deevlop- ments of the week. sthese for the most part favoring the long account.
 The call for an unexpectedly early session of Congress, publication of the terms of the peace treaty, further con- drmation of marvellous crop prospects and indications of an opinion market for steel impelled additional covering of short contracts.
 Bunk clearings and trade reviews at tested the forward march of business and the money market suffered no dis turbance from victory loan require- ments. Foreign exchange, especially on Paris, was again unsettled, but this was ascribed to technical rather than eco homie conditions.

THE WORLDS MARKETS
Cotton Review
By Associated Presf

New Orleans, May 1.-The range of prices in the cotton market last week was comparatively narrow. being only 65 to l04 points. Net changes were in- significant, May showing none at all, while the other active months were to l9 points higher than the close of the preceding week. It was at times some thing of a weather market and at others the strength of spots was the dokiinat- ing influence, but throughout the week it was plain that the political situation had the trade marking time.
 Weather conditions in the belt at the beginning of the week were regarded favorably, but later there was talk of too much rain. The weekly crop accounts from the government were better than expected and caused some selling. but the effect was only temporary because of the heavy rains which followed their issuance.
 A good and widespread spot demand was reported in the belt and was also in evidence here. although local quotations showed a net loss on the close of 25 points. with middling at 2L75c. This price compared with the closing price of 2760c on May and 26.27 on July. On the closing session as high as 27.90c was bid for May. the first time such prem ium on contracts over spots had been seen in a couple of years The large ex- ports for the week attracted attention: total clearances from all ports amounted to 14l,S9S bales. against 52,359 the same week last year. These exports brought foreign shipments thus far this season up to 4,l7O40l bales. against 5,53S,S1 during the same period last year.
 This week the weather conditions over the belt will be closely watched because of the fear the trade had of wet May. Wednesdays reports from the govern ment will be eagerly awaited. Gener- ally speaking. rains would cause a higher market, while warm and fair weather now in order to complete planting and to allow the working of that part of the crop that is up. Warm weather is need ed to allow germination to proceed.
 Traders on the long side show confi- dence regarding the spot situation and any further increase in the demand is bound to have its effect Political news will always be a factor especially be- cause of the decisive events now pending in Europe. There is still much dispute as to whether actual peace has or has not yet been discounted.

 New York, May 11.-Following the fail ure of the steel producers to meet the terms of the representatives of the rail road administration at the conference in this city on Thursday what are consid- cred by trade authorities as essentially open market conditions prevail at the present time
 Interests here show great enthusiasm at the outlook since it has been off cially stated that no further price con- ferences will be held. The railroad ad- ministration is ready to open competitive bids on 100000 tons of steel rails at once. Opinion here seems to view as doubtful a lowering of prices in view of tho claims that manufacturing costs continue high. Regarding an upward trend oa prices there is more divergence of views.
 Buying of iron and steel during the past week has been exceptionally light except for sheets and wire products. where there is reported to be a fairly brisk demand. Big iron buying is light and limited to immediate shipment o1 small lots. Pipes are reported in good demand and 1t is expected that this line will improve from now on. Steel inge production for April amounted to 22S9, ,If1 tens, the lowest since January 1918. when 2.203 ,S45 tons were reported Pig iron production in April was 2,4IS,21S gross tons against 3,090.232 gross tons in March

6Y AsseeIatsd erest

New York, May 11.-Wan street Tinan7 cial Review:
 Reasons for the further price advance. increased activity and extraordinary scope of the weeks trading on the stock exchange were so obvious as to require little detailed comment.
 Conservative, no less than speculative, interests are gratified at the Presidents call for an early session of Congress, ac- cepting this as forerunner of pressing railroad legislation. Need of such action was amply demonstrated by the growing deficits Of the leading transportation,s sys- tems.
 Aside from the stronger light thrown upon European economic conditions. pub- lication of the peace treaty evoked little discussion, except among international bankers, where questions involving an extension of foreign credits are under further consideration.
 Far more interest was felt in the fail- ure of the steel manufacturers and the railroad administration to reconcile diff ferences regarding prices, thereby precip itating an unrestricted market under conditions without precedent in the his- tory of the industry.
 In the trade it seems to be generally believed that an open market must inevi. tably release a flood of buying orders long held in abeyance. That the inde' pendent producers expect to profit by the removal of stabilizing measures was in. dicated by the strength of those issues.
 The latest government crop report and data as to the domestic business situation from various authoritative sources were among the accelerating factors Of tn" week
 Of the stock market itself. while oils and shippings were singled out for espe- cial favor, it is interesting to note that representative industrials were elevated to best prices in several years, while the average of rails, on renewed buying of minor shares. rose to highest levels thus far this year. These averages were mod estly reduced, however, in the heavy sell of xrrnnlc-aad
