Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press


 ! New York, April 1.-The cotton market has been active and firm during the past week, with all deliveries making high records for the season. Both domestic and foreign trade interests have been among the more prominent buyers pre- sumably to cover hedges in old crop months. while the buy ,ng oi later deliv- cries has been accompanied by rumors that European spinners were making cone tracts for early new crop shipment.
 According to local brokers the strength oi the near months has reflected the con tinued absence of spot pressure. coupled with a belief that remaining holders in the south would refuse to follow declines, particularly in view of unsatisfacr5ry early new crop reports. Business in the later month broadened materially, and the advances during the latter part of the week were led by October. owing to uifavorable weather in the belt and the weekly report of the weather bureau, which said that seed was germinating porly in the southwest. So far as in dicated by comment around the ring, no serious alarm has been occasioned by the reports of pink bollworm infer-ation in Texas so far as the new crop is con cerned, but the storms and rains .s eastern belt sections are believed to have caused further delays in farm work, while there has been apprehension of floods as a result of rapid rise in the Mississippi river.
 Owing to scarcity of labor delays in farm work are supposed to be taken more seriously than usual this season, and increased demand for early new crop months was attended by the reports th< nervousness over the talk of backward

COTTON ROSE TONEW RECORDS EARLY AND
 THEN TURNED EASY
General List Closed Barely Steady at a Net Decline of 30 Points on Month
 of April
By Associated Prs,

New York, April 1.--After making new high records during today's early trading the cotton market turned easier under realizing for over the Easter holidays. May contracts, which had advanced to 4,ooo, broke to S9.60c and closed at that level, while October sold off from 34 .25e to g T7c, or within points of last night closing quotations. The general list closed barely steady at a net decline of S0 points on April. while other months were net l5 points lower to points nigh CT, with the new crop relatively firm
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 10 to q points on overnight buy
 ing orders, and before the end of the first hour showed net advances of 25 to 50 points, Reports of further rains in east ern belt sections stimulated the uemsllo for early new crop deliveries while there was further trade buying and covering bN early week sellers. The short inter- est however, apepared to have been very considerably reduced on the advance of nrarly 21kc per pound from the low levels of last week, and the market turned easier during the middle of the day under |reai;zing.
 Selling of new crop months was held in check by the unfavorable eastern belt forecast, but some of the local traders expected improving weather conditions over the eastern holiday. and there was talk of a neasier spot basis. Active old crop positions sold at 13 to IS points pet lower. while new crop months reacred to within a few points of Wednesdays s final figures, and the close was at about the low point of the day. The maffet will be closed from tonight until next Monday morning.

ACTION AGAINST l. POOLS IN STOCK [ MARKET FEATURED
Time Money Was Scarce and Quotably Unchanged,
 With Most Transactions In Form of Renewals
By A..ssI...a rr...

New York, April 1.-The Easter re- cess and the attitude of the Stock Ex- change authorities toward pools, as sug- gested by the stutz Motor episode, were primarily responsible for today's dull and hesitant market.
 Traders derived some encouraSement from the comparative east of call money. which opened ats per cent and held at that quotation until the final hour, when beIated borrowing force dthe price to lo per cent.
 This was offset, however, by the great kr scarcity of time money, which was nuotably unchanged, but actually unob- tainable, except for moderate amounts, mostly in, the form of renewals,
 Dealings in the leading foreign ex- ehange remittances were unusually liSht, he London quotations rising slightly over Kesterday's best with nominal recover1es hn French and Italian bills. Half a score of issues made up the bulk of the day $ sn.ail turnover. Crucible Steel and Gen eral Motors being the most prominent of the recent favorites. Crucibie fluctuated within a 10-point radius and closed at D loss of 11a points. General Motors was less cratic, closing well toward it's best nuotation, at gain of 512, while other steels, motors, equipments and oils fin ished at irregular but moderate gains or losses.
 Rails and shippings were dull. but main ty higher as were also several of the kood and utilities issues and a rew mrs kellaneous stocks, notably United States Realty at a gain of about s points.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. April 1.-While the cot ton market was mainly influenced by weather news today, it felt a great deal of liquidation from longs. who wanted to even up over the holiday and realize their profits, and this sort of selling de1 pressed values following a strong rise in the early session. The weather map was wet and private and official reports told of rains generally over the co,.on country. On top Of all this was the fore- cast for every state in the state in the belt.
 May traded points off on the opened call but almost immediately strength- ened. and all later months opened at the advance. which was continued until the list stood 90 to 45 points higher than yesterdays final prices. the new crop months being stronger than the old and October trading as high as s4c. Realiz- ing checked the advance and finally caused reaction which carried the mar ket to 27 points under the close of yes terday. Late in the day reports of heavy rains falling in Alabama and Mississippi caused steadiness so that last prices were unchanged to points down, net, Tor the season.

Sugar Market

ss New York April f-The local mar ket for raw sugar was strong and prices again sold into new high ground, closing at 13c for Cubas cost and freight, equal to 14.04c for centrifugal on active buying by both operators and Nrefiners, prompted by continued adverse crop reports. A leading Cuban authority who, during the last week, reduced his crop estimate to 1000. 900 tons, made another reduction. with the total out-turn now expected to be only 3.900,0o0 tons, or 400 900 tons less than estimated at the beginning of the sea son. The sales aggregated about 150,- 900 bags of Cubas for April and May shipment at 13c cost and freight. and at the close there was a further buying interest at this level. while outport re :. liners were said to be bidding as high as 13$c cost and freight, although no transactions were confirmed above the 13c level
 In refined prices were nominalIy un- changed at 14@15c for fine granulated, although little if any business is being accepted at these levels. Toll sugars however, are in active demand and prices range all the way from 17sm1Sc for fine granulated
 Sugar futures again followed the strength in raws with prices selling at record levels, closing at 15 to 45 points net advance. Sales were 500 tons.

New York. April 1.-The action of the Stock Exchange in temporarily removing Stutz Motor stock from the trading list was the chief topic of con- versation in the Street. This drastic action followed admission that cor ner" in it's existed. and that there was no way for the shorts to settle their contracts unless willing to pay the price demanded. As this was con- sidered contrary to public policy, the governors ruled that trading, with the exception of deliveries on contracts made yesterday, must cease. Confer ences between those who control the stock and representatives of the shorts have as yet been productive of no basis for settlement. In other cor ners' agreement between the parties concerned has been a necessary pre- liminary to settling price, as the Stock Exchange does not undertake to fix such things when a nonmember is concerned. General comment was that the incident had removed a men, ace to the stock market, and was like ly to prove q benefit as tending to force those who tightly hold control of stock issues to maintain free and ready market for their specialties un- der any circumstances. The Consoli- dated Exchange and Curb Association also placed ban on trading in the stock. There was fairly large turn over in odd lots of Stutz Motor in the over-the-counter market, with the high sale at 425 and sales as low as 390 reported.
