BULLISH ADVANCE DID NOT HOLD IN
 COTTON TRADING
Twenty-Five Points Low CT to Eighteen Points
 Higher
By Associated Press

New York, May 6.-An early advance on bullish weather and crop advices was fol- lowed by reactions in the cotton market today, with october selling off from 96SOdS6 46c, and closing at s6.51. corl- pared with S6.S5c at the close yesterday. Old crop months were relatively easy. with July selling off from S.lSq&. re, and the close steady net p points lower to IS points higher.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to F points on higher Liver pool cable reports that the Lancashire wage dispute had been settled, and com plaints of further rains in eastern and central sections of the belt. Old crop po- sitions sold 20 to 26 points net higher and the new crop about 3S to 45 points above last nights closing figures during the early trading on covering and fresh com- mission house buying. There was also some trade buying of July and October, but the support of that sort was less active than it was earlier in the week and when the detailed weather reports confirming the early private news of raln failed to inspire additional buying, tSs market turned easier under realizing.
 Unfavorable reviews of the domestic fgoods trade and reports that freight room had been booked for 17000 bales of cot ton to be shipped rom SaNahndh anu other southern ports to New York, prop ably increased the disposition to take profits on long contracts There was also southern selling here on the decline, which carried the old crop positions 70 to 25 points net lower. New crop months lost all but few points of their early advance and the close was at nearly the low point.
 It is reported that Lancashire mills have agreed to advance wages 2S1a per cent over current rates, with an addl- tional increase of 10 per cent to male card room operators for period of one year. late report that Japan had removed the embargo on exports of cotton yarns lel to some bearsh comment on the aft ernoon decline Exports today 4O4 mak- ing 5,6S1 1928 so far this season.

New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, May 6.-Dpening higher today, the cotton market held firm for a while, but finally reacted under realiz- ing and settled down into an irregular trading affair with much of the business resulting from straddle operations be- tween the two crops, which resulted in weakening the old crop and holding the new crop fairly steady The close il- lusrated clearly the type of session it was, being 21 points down to 20 points up net for the day.
 Better prices on the first call were due to higher cables than expected ana to reports that the threatened Lancashire mill strike had been settled. The initial rise continued until prices were 23 to 49 points up and July was at 3S 4Sc. Real izing by longs caused moderate reactions and on top of this were heavy sales of July against purchases of October on tn~ argument that the two months must come nearer together because of not all together satisfactory conditions in the old crop and the poor outlook for the new The market fell off until it stood 21 points down to 12 points up net July at its lowest traded at s .04c and October at 36 25c. July closed at it's lowest, but October closed 6 points up from the bot tom.

lSCANTY SUPPLY OF CORN SENDS STAPLE
 TO TOPMOST PRICES
May Shorts Find It Almost Impossi- ble to Even Up Contracts to
 Their Advantage
By AssocIated Press

Chicago. May 6.-Corn jumped today to the topmost prices yet this season. The supply here was so scanty and the demand so active that No. yellow commanded as much as $2 a bushel Quotations closed strong, 2B05hc net higher, with July $1.71Ss Q1.717s, and september s1.62ss Q1.62B. Oats gained A e 1sc and provision 5c to Soc.
 shorts in the May delivery of corn discovered after midday in particular that it was next to impossible to even up contracts except through a sort that hoisted the market in a bewildering, rapid manner This fac was due some- what to overselling earlier on the part of the bears, circumstance more or less the result of excellent weather and of sharp cuts announced in the price of silk and other commodities. Re- ports that Dutch banks had purchased 40,OO0,000 bushels of Argentine corn for Germany counted as a bullish factor in the late trading, and, so, too, did talk of broad export demand for wheat.
 Oats were governed chiefly by the action of corn. Most of the business was local.

TRADERS WERE KEPT GUESSING ON WALL STREET YESTERDAY
General Cancellation of Gains In All But a Few of the More Speculative
 Issues
By Associated Press

New York, May 6.-Stocks were irregu- { lar and higher at the opening of today 8 market. wavering or uncertain at mid E day and heavy at the close, when realiz- ing for profits caused general cancella- tion of gains in all but few of the more speculative issues. Trading was animated by the same in- fluences which have diverted the mar ket from it's recent downward trend, but lack of public interest or sustained bull ish leadership finally reduced dealings to slender dimensions.
 Pools again essayed to elevate the more popular isues of the industrial division, especially steels, equipments and oils, later taking up shippings and sundry spe- cialties comprising the chemical and fer tilizer groups, but their operations failed
 to enlist outside support
 The money market was easier in that
 the supply of call money at T per cent
 at all times exceeded requirements. bus
 further contraction of time funds and merchants paper was reported.
 In a survey of general conditions for
 the first four months of the year the local federal reserve bank expressed the
 opinion that very little progress to-
 wards reduction of either commodity
 prices or credit, volume had been made.
 On the other hand, there was much , discussion among bankers with mercan- tiie'tconnections of the def1ation now un- der Way at leading business centers of the
 country. This movement is finding ex-
 pression, they say, in wholesale and re- . tail offerings of merchandise. particu- larly high-priced textiles and feathers.
 The bond market gave a better account of itself than the stock list, industrials and rails tending higher, with a further
 recovering in Liberty Bonds notably the 315s, which rose to 1.50, or 1-3 per cent over their recent low records. Total sales par value, aggregated SIS, $50, 900, Old United States bonds were nnaltered on call.
