New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, April 23.-Fairly wide de- clines in the early trading in cotton to- day gave way to even wider advances in the afternoon Early selling was done mainly on the better feeling regarding the new crop outlook while the buying of the afternoon appeared to come from inter ests who considered the technical position the market had drifted into made a good chance for successful operations on the long side From a net decline of 37 to 1T points there was a rise until the trading months were 4 os62 points over yester- days final prices. July rose from 25.Sc to 25.93c. Closing prices were at net gains of g to 55 points.
 Poor cables and favorable weather map were responsible for a lower opening and selling increased, following the read ing of the weekly crop reports at l0 o'clock While these reports were not fa- vorable enough to suit extreme bearish opinion they still had features in them sufficiently good to encourage moderately heavy selling. Bullish traders pointed out that Texas was too dry and that there was quite general complaint of the effect of cold weather, but no real buying power developed until after the noon hour.
 As the market advanced it was eyident that the ring had been caught short and almost sensational spurts in the price oc- cured
 Toward the end there was less demand and prices fell off somewhat irony the highest.

ADVANCE IN CORN
 CAUSES HIGHEST
 RECORD IN HOGS
Gains 2of Sc to , 51-Sc Per Bushel Were Recorded, While Provision List
 Showed a Rise

Chicago, April 23.-Big advances in the corn market today with trading on broad scale resulted to a great ex- tent from a jump in the value of hogs to the highest price ever known, $21.15 a hundredweight. The close in corn was at the topmost point reached, net gain of 3@ lsc a bushel, with July, s1.62 S @1621s. and September s1.59B @1.59A {. Oats finished 1A @17sc up and provis- ions showing a rise of 12@ 55c.
 All deliveries of corn quickly went above any previous quotations this sea- son and despite heavy profit taking sales kept on the upgrade almost un- chucked throughout the day. It was pointed out that the market value of hogs represents corn Tn the final stage, and that the feeding cost was the most generally accepted test of what price should be paid for the grain. Strained political conditions in Europe tended further to strengthen bullish sentiment, and so too did adverse weather for the domestic crop movement.
 Oats were hoisted by the same forces that governed corn.
 Much activity as well as strength de- veloped in provisions owing to record breaking advances of hogs and corn. May lard jumped to $S1 per hundred weight, a new tiptop.

STEEL IS CENTRAL
 FIGURE IN LIVELY
 WALL STREET DAY
Rails Were Again Active, Together With Various Steels, Coppers and All
 Equipments
By A.soeiated Press

New York, April 23.-Factors which contributed measurably to the strength and activity of yesterdays stock mar ket, notably the confident buying of rails, were operative again today, reinforced by a keen inquiry for other popular shares, particularly steefs, coppers and numerous equipments.
 United Steel was the central feature, asserting it's former leadership on an enormous turn over at an extreme gam ot 2A points to 103, though yielding all but~ large fraction in the extensive profit taking of the last hour.
 Buying of steel. credited largely to powerful financial interests, was the more interesting in view of next week s meeting of the directors to act on the dividend and because of the uncertain state of that industry as a whole
 Affiliated shares joined in the advance at gross gains of 1 to points. but these, too, were relinqushed for the most part at the close when many lead CTS were 1 to ? points under their best and others showed net losses.
 The rise in rails was again restricted mainly to low grade issues of the west ern and southwestern sections, invest ment shares such as transcontinentals, Reading and Eastern Trunk lines at no time making more than slight gains.
 Aside from Royal Dutch, oils were un- certain, with shippings and motors and their accessories, but metals were un- usually active and strong, International Nickel being the only noteworthy excep- tion.
 Tobaccos, fertilizers, food specialties and variety of miscellaneous issues forfeited much of their variable gains at slight pressure, an irregular tone pre- vailing at the active close.
 Bonds, including Liberty issues. were firm but featureless Total sales Cpar value) aggregated $11S75,000. Old United States registered As rose h per cent on sales.

BUYING
 AGAIN STARTS IN
 COTTON MARKET
The General List Closed Steady At a Net Decline of 15 to 34 Points Under
 Tuesday
Hv Aysociated Press

New York, April 2S.--A further re- action during today's earlier trading met a renewal of general buying in the cotton market and was followed by an advance which carried all the active new style months to new high records. May deliveries, for instance. advanced from 2702c to 27.S7c, and closed at 27.75c, with the general list closing steady at a net advance of Is to s4 points. Old style months were 25 to 54 points net higher
 The market opened steady at de- cline of 25 to 39 points in response to relatively easy Liverpool cables and q favorable weather map. There was some irreguiarity right after the call but the market weakened during the middle of the morning with July sell ing off to 25.62c and October 24.05c, or about 40 to 50 points below last nights closing.
 The weekly report of the weather bu- reau spoke of low temperatures as pre- venting germination and retarding the growth of cotton already up, but also reported good progress with planting and farm work which, in connection with the favorable weather now pre- vail:ng in the belt probably encouraged selling. There were also rumors of un- favorable developments in the peace but these evidently faild to create much sentiment and the market rallied very rapidly during the early afternoon on covering by recent sell CTS for a reaction, trade buying and a renewed demand from Wall street and commission house sources
 The strength of the stock market was a factor on the advance, while there was buying on the bullish reports from the goods trade and southern spot markets. Trade interests were good buyers on the early decline, but were said to be less active on the advance which carried July up to 25.50c and De- tober to 2495c, or about 35 to AS points net higher The close was few points off from the best under realizing.

Over S. R. Stewart & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, April 23-The short sum- mary of influences this morning was a disappointing Liverpool as to futures, but good spot sales, good weather, Paris news suggesting the probability of delay; more general feeling for some reaction, but confident bullsh spirit would assert itself on the least encouragement.
 Liverpool was about 20 points lower than due on futures, but quoted spots 15 points up with sales oS TOGO bales. and n cable said very big business In Manchester, and expect pence advance"
 The large spot business in Liverpool is construed as making up for the holiday idleness, and preparing for work to be resumed in full by mills using American cotton after the agreed stoppage of fortnight which ends on the 18th.
 The map shows favorable conditions; generally cloudy in Texas, fair rest Of the belt and warmer generally. Indica- tions are for a continuance of these con ditions except that Arkansas Oklahoma will be partly cloudy and cooler.
 Market opened 20 to 30 points lower on the selling features mentioned in the first lines of this letter, but the reaction promptly brought out a good buying de- mand in line with the bullish atmos- phere all over the country.
 There was good buying by professionals and trade houses during the latter half or the session, and prices began advancing which caused something of a stampede among early sellers and the market steadily advanced to the close. After opening unchanged on the early months and 20 to 23 points down on the later posi- tions. the market ranged within limit of Ss to 94 points and closed steady 30 to So net higher for the late months and eo up on May.

New York, April 3.-Liverpood iaiied to meet the improvement which nad taken place in our market over the Easter holidays. The demand Tor spoe @ cotton was good. with safes or .'" ,.a,as fair business in yarns and good inquiry for cloth was reported rom Manchester. During the morning con siderable amount of long cotton was luuidated, which carried prices back 10 ahout a4 cents for October. At this level some large short lines were covered, ao- gorbing the offers.
 The market gradually recovered un- der buying by spot houses recoNei"s all the loss of the morning.
 As inc market did not display the weakness expected on the break. the feeling is again quite builish on the ides that outside conditions and not the weather will influence prices for the time being at least.
