New York, May 15.--Although authori- ties continued to emphasize the further reactionary trend of the financial and commercial markets, today's short ses- sion of the stock exchange was declared to have furnished additional evidence of an over-extended short position.
 sentimental factor in the moderate recovery of prices was the belief that further gold imports from London are impending, although confirmation of such movement was not obtainable in we'll informed quarters.
 Dealings fell to the smallest volume of any weekend so far this year The tone was firm to strong, with the usual shad- ing of prices on realizing for profits at the close
 The clearing house statement issued after the close of the market was the reverse of most forecasts. Heavy trans fers by local banks to meet federal in- terest payments and withdrawals by in- terior institutions for crop-moving pur poses caused only relatively small in- crease of actual loans and discounts In- stead of a deficit in reserves, that item showed a gain of considerably more than $23, 0000.
 Other striking features of the bank statement included an increase of more than $S6,000,000 in actual net demand de. posits and gain of almost $39 100000 ill reserves of members at the local federal reserve bank

Oats Also Finished Down, While the Provisions Lists Was Off, One
 Half Cent to Twenty Cents
By Assnnlatnd Prass


 Chicago, May 15.-Corn rose today to new high price records for the season, but failed to hold well. Much of the strength came from wheat. which was in great demand to ship to Europe. On the other hand, possibility of a rail strike settlement early next week was sn evident bearish factor toward the last. The market closed nervous ats Q lac net advance. with July SITS A c LISA. and September s1.645s @1.6424 :. Oats finished Ac off to 9sc up, and provisions down F O 30 cents.
 With exporters hoisting their bids for wheat. It did not take long for the corn market to ascend in sympathy, and during the first half of the day the majority of traders acted as if there was little chance of any immediate re- lief for the scantiness of grain supplies at terminals. Later, however. belief expressed by a prominent dealer that the federal conference here Monday would result in a wind-up of the switchmen's strike led to considerable selling on the part of holders and to a sharp reaction from last prices. It was also said that 0,000 cars would be sent from the east to handle grain.
 Oats were governed mainly by corn.
 Provisions declined with hogs.

Weekly Financial Review
Rv Assnciatad Press

New York, May 15.-Sentiment in finan- cial circles this week was frankly less cheerful, this feeling finding more direct expression in renewel if moderate liqui- dation, further professional selling and negligible public interest. The railroad strike, with its serious results to almost all lines of industry, additional credit restrictions and cumulative signs of a slowing down of general business. em- bolden an already large short account to extend it's aggressions.
 Standard rails and industrials suf- fered almost in equal measure with specu- lative issues, strengthening the impress sion prevalent in many quarters that a large proportion of the offerings was of an involuntary character.
 This same condition dominated the bond market Lowest quotations were made by Liberty bonds following the announcement that new treasury certifi- cates of indebtedness are to be on 51a per cent basis.
 Local banking conditions, it was agreed, are on a firm foundation, but the tenor of advices from western and southern reserve centers, again reflected the rigid attitude of the federal reserve board concerning non-essential credits. Little If any relaxation of money rates Is anticipated before the expiration of the fiscal year.

WEEKLY DRY GOODS

New York, May 15.-Cotton goods markets are still very quiet and signs of moderate reaction are more numer- GUS. Print cloths are down about 10 per cent from the extreme high. Sheet ings have not declined so much. Fine goods in second hands have declined sharply from the top prices, particu- !arly voiles, silk and cottons, and some other lines.
 The mills are holding steady, and as result are doing nothing more than submitting to mills any lower offers that come from desirable customers. An advance of 15 per cent in wages will go into effect in many New England mills June l. Strikers at New Bedford, fine goods center, still continues.
 Flnishers are moderately well up on old orders, but new business has fallen to very small proportion.
 Converters have received numerous cancellations due to non delivery, and in manly cases prolonged delays in de- livery have forced cancellations.
 The financial pressure continues to exert a repressing effect upon trade and ehis is intensified by the bad trans portation and the widespread reduc- tions in retail stores. Jobbers are not buying and show more uncertainty than at any time since the armistice.
 There are still millions of dollars worth of orders on the books to be filled in all lines and curtailment of production is not so marked as in some other divisions of the textile trade.
 Prices quoted are: Print cloths, 2S- inch, 64x64s, 17c; 64x60s. 16kc; 3S1a . inch 64xs4s, 24G24Ac; brown sheet ings, southern standards, 29c; denims. 2.20s, first hands, 44c; tickings. 55c nominal; staple ginghams eastern, 2hc; dress ginghams, 35c and 37hc.
