GRA1N AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, May 26.--Gcneral selling
induced by favorable weather for
blowing and planting brought about
declines today in the corr market.
The trade was also expecting much
larger receipts in the e future. Re-
ports of a thirty per. cent decrease OF
corn acreage in Kansas operated,
however, as something of an offset.
Opening prices. which ranged from
7-8 tt 2 1-Sc lower with July 1.61 IL
and September 1854 to 1.55. 1-8 were
followed by a moderat rally.
Oats paralleled the action Of corn.
After opening 1-S to 3-4@7-8c there
with July sc IA to sc 1-2. the mar
ket sagged a little more but then re-
covered.
Provisions were weak in sympathy
with grain and hogs. Pork led the de-
cline.
Buying on the part of stockyard in
terests led subsequently to a material
advance. ~
Later a big decrease Of the visible
supply total counted as a bullish fac
tor. and there was a decided upward
ewing in prices. The market closed
lc to 2 $50 net higher with July
s1.65 is to l.65 IA and September
$1.57 rs to 1.5S.

Cotton Prices Soar
On Expectation Of
increased EyD0yfs

Assurance from the United States
Shipping Board that there would be a
reduction IN ocean freight rates for
the carrying of cotton stimulated the
expectation OF 4 greatly expanded ey
port demand both for raw cotton and
cotton goods, and trading on the local
exchange yesterday became buovantlv
optimistic Prices generally SCARED,
showing ret advances Of $50 to POO
points at the close.
The pessimism that has cast its
shadow on the market for weeks was
forgotten and the buying impulse be-
came strong. March contracts made
the maximum rise that the rules Of the
exchange allow, 200 points, of $40, a
bale. 9"
Before definite advices came from
Washington traders felt that cotton
would socn come under the protection
OF lower rates of transportation and
the market opened with All advance Of
from III to oS points. 1t continued TO
mount during the first hour on sub
stangial buying for Liverpool houses
and ON short covering. Following this
period there WAS hesitation for a while
and prices rcceded slightly. Early in
inc 1 afternoon, when the policy of the
Shlpplng Board became known. the
ouylhS became general and carried
prices to the highest level of the ses-
sion.
Private cables conveyed the impres-
sion that the strength in Livcrnnol
which was pronounced, was due to the
reopeninE OF the market there to or
ders from neutral countries. and tho
Liverpool buying here was believed "a
represent covering OF straddle sales
made IN anticipation Of the probability
New-York tribune., 1919-01-29
Exports On the Increase

In the shipping trade yesterday it
was asserted that the drastic cut in
transatlantic rates on eastbound
freight had stimulated shipping activ-
ity, although so far the increase in
the volume Of exports headed for Brit
ish ports has not been so large but
what there has been sufficient cargo
space. Most of the steamship com
panies are accepting practically all of
the freight offering According to the
weekly report of the railroad admin
istration there is considerable ac-
emulation of foodstuifs at North
Atlantic ports, and grain in many Of
these ports is in excess of elevator
capacity. Boston is reported as hav-
ing large accumulation Of export
freight Improvement is looked for
now that rates have been lowered and
more ships are being released for the
commercial carving trade
New-York tribune., 1919-01-29

A book should be written bringing
our economic theories in line with
actual present knowledge and prac-
tlce. The laws of supply and de-
mand are all right, but they are for
commodities grown and manufac-
tured above the Mason and Dixon
line, and not for cotton, which IS a
thing apart. The author of the
book should be none other than
Representative Hehin, of Alabama.
After the book is written there
ought to be law stipulating that
cotton can go only the one way,
which is up, and that if the gam
blers on the New York Cotton Ex-
change cannot bid it up they should
let it alone and keep the exchange
closed until they can. Cotton sold
at 3 "a cents a pound in 1914,
which was an act Of the exchange,
though the exchange was closed,
HfiN etI 90 NNiIS a poulltl III iOlC,
which was an act Of God, though
the exchange was open. When
prices were being fixed for wheat
and steel and copper the cotton
congressman liked the idea of
minimum price, but maximum
price was an interference with
economic laws. All other basic
commodity prices are dropping
now, of which we shall not talk,
hut when cotton falls from 81 to "a
cents, Mr.. Hehin knows that "the

yesterday "is going before the peace
conference to ask one big question.
Concisely stated it is: will the govern
ments to be established in the many
new states that will be formed out of
the four great nations of Eastern Eu-
rope be permitted to ignore the vested
property rights of citizens and fore gn-
ers that have been established for
years? And if not, will Mexico, which
is in the same category, while not a
combatant in the great war, be allowed
by the powers to issue confscatory
DEGREES and overt acts not only to
ignore vested property rights, but to
enact legislation that is against all
law. equity and Justice?
eve deem it a matter Of the gravest
international Importance that notice
should be served not only on Mexico
but on all states throughout the entire
world that Ne great powers insist upon
the recognition of vested property
rights of foreigners"
