SPOT COTTON WAS
 BULL|SH AND THE STAPLE WENT UP
General List Closed Steady, at a Net Advance of 40 to 72 Points Over Wednes-
 days Finals
Rx Associafnd Prnss


 New York, April 15.-An opening de cline was followed by very sharp re- covery in the cotton market today owing to continued bullish spot and crop ad- vices. May contracts sold up to 41.S7c. making a new high record for the season and a net gain of 47 points, while Oc- tober sold at 5 .SSc, or r points net high CT. The close was steady at net ad- vance of 70 to 72 points
 The market was unsettled during the earlier trading, opening at decline Of , to 27 points and selling about Ia to 27 points net lower on active months dur ing the first few minutes. Lower Liv- eIpool cables were attributed partly to the influence of the advance in the Bank of England rate. and there was prob ahly scattered selling on early private reports indicating better weather in the south this morning. Trade interests were buyers of early new crop months, how ever. and demand became mor> active after the publication of the ceEsus report showing domestic mill consumption ot 57c, 704 bales, for March. against 4lS. 4Si last year, which was heavier than ex- pected,
 The buying was further stimulated h9 the eastern belt forecast for showers in some sections. and the market reached the highest levels of the day after the publication of reports from Alabama that the American Cotton Association. in con- vention there. had passed resolutions de- manding 60-cent basis middling for the balance of this crop. claiming that such a price would give the bulls large profits, and that another surplus cotton cron would never be raised in this country. Western interests were among the more active buyers on the late advance, and there were rumors of buying for Egyn- tiansand West Indian account during tho earlier trading.
 Port receipts today. 1S604; United States port stocks. 1.167l2 Exports 2S1&. making 5,s44.260 so far this season.

SELMA

Selma, April 15.- Special "A move ment just now attracting a good deal of interest here is the organization of an oil company for sinking wells at Lower Peach Tree. Ala. It is reported that three geologists of recognized standing and experience in oil prospect ing have agreed, after surveys, that all exterior evidence points to oil in the locality of Lower Peach Tree.
 It is said the Standard Oil Company the Anglo-American Oil Company. the Gulf Refining and several other oil in- terests have sent representatives to Peach Tree to make investigations. and large tracts are said to have been leased by these interests. The Anglo American Company has just closed a lease for 1000 acres, and as this fact is authenticated. it has caused furry of excitement here
 number of prominent Selmians are preparing to launch a stock selling camapign in order to secure funds with which to make boring tests to deter mine the presence of oil, and in what quantities. It is pointed out that a Louisiana or Burkburnett oil field at Lower Peach Tree would. on account of it's proximity build Selma into me- tropolis of 50, 900 or T5,009 persons in q few months. Lower Peach Tree is sixty miles from Selma.

MONEY AND LABOR OVERSHADOW ALL MARKET FEATURES Call Loans Opened at s Per Cent, Jumped to F, and Then to 15 Per Cent
 Later
By Associated Prs.


 New York, April l5.-Trading in stocks was active with a strong tone at the outset of today's session, in disregard of the higher discount rate announced by the Bank of England. put the mar ket became irregular later when money and the labor situation overshadowed ail other considerations.
 Call loans opened at the unusually higher rate of per cent, jumped to lz during the uncertain intermediate period, advancing to b in the last hour. but eased to 12 in the final dealings.
 This partial relaxation was accom- panied by a vigorous rally, especially, in the more prominent ''poued'' shares Sew eral of this issue attained maximum prices of the day, and the general list made up a large part of it's loss.
 Among the strongest issues were Van adium and Peplogle steels, in winch dealings far exceeded many of the usual favorites at net gains of SIS to ' points, respectively, Consolidated Textile at an advance of 3N and several of the motor specialties.
 Oils were under pressure. although making only moderate reactions with shipping and rails, but sugars, with few exceptions, yielded much of their recent gains, seasoned equipments ana steels also being subjected to variapie reversals on profit-taklng.
 AQViceS ITOIn tHS piilctPai SSiieStS " industry indicated that the rail strike had assumed more ominous aspects. The Pittsburg district, for example, reported almost complete supensions of operations at mines and leading mills.
 Yet another disconcerting feature was the further precipitate decline of Liberty Bonds and Victory notes, virtually all or which established lowest quotations Tn their history on enlarged offerings.

International Paper Pays Dividend of $3 ShareS O s. Sent Out by Traders Is Answered-Columbia and
 Electric Maintains Fair Degree of Firmness

from the 200 per cent stock dividend recently declared by the United Fuel Gas Company, in which the Columbia has large interest. It is estimated by friends of the lat ter that it's equity in United Fuel is worth in the neighborhood of ssO, 900. 900 or more than 50 per cent on Columbia Gas stock. In view of this it would not sur-. prise the street if the directors of the company when they meet next Monday at Cincinnati should de- clare a liberal dividend in stock.
 Despite the explanation today that in the dissolution of the American Tobacco Securities Com pany stockholders would receive twenty five shares of American Tobacco, "a" voting stock for ev- cry 100 shares now held. traders continued to sell the stock. It showed little tendency to recover in the last few minutes of trad ing. when other issues were mak- ing up their earlier losses and closed the day off M points at 67. American Tobacco ended the udY QOW II '. tue itSl Sdlt bNAhS -ANs In addition to their original stock in the American Tobacco Company. American Tobacco Security share holders will get 1S% shares for each of their shares at their pro- rata shares of the 75 per cent com. mon stock dividend declared Wednesday by the American To- bacco Company.
 The Crucible Steel Company in it's application to the stock ex- change for the listing of the s12,- 600,000 stock dividend recently de- clared gives some interesting sta tistics covering operations from August 31, 1915. to 1919. inclusive. Taking into consideration read justments of accounts under the new management it is shown that the net earnings for 1919, after the preferred dividends, were actu- ally equivalent to s3S.S0 share on the common stock instead of 31.29 as previously reported. The 1919 net after federal taxes in the revised report is given as s1l.- 450503. Gross business for 1920 is estimated in the stock exchange statement at $65.00o, 900. against s59,560,691 last year.

New York, April 15.-(Special.). Earnings available for the common stock of the International Paper Company declined more than 8 a share, according to the report for the year ending December 31, 1919, issued today. Net income after charges and federal taxes of $4,121, ,494 had been met and allow ance made for preferred dividends, equalled $1324 a share, earned on the $19,S03,920 outstanding stock, as compared with s1S.47 last year
 After attributing the company's unimpressive showing to trying la bor conditions and increased prices for materials, the report points to the necessity of protecting forests to assure wood supplies for news print making of tfS future.
 Ambitious market wreckers,' observes an editorial article in ''The Cashier" the monthly publi- cation of the cashiers section of the Association of New York Stock Exchange Firms, have been helped out of a precarious position re- gently in the Stutz Motors episode. Previously they had been saved from severe squeeze in their Gen eral Motors contracts. The Lord tempers the wind to the shorn lamb. But we were not aware that this considerable treatment was extended to the old rams. It is quite possible that the political and banking cliques, now heavily short of securities, may yet be subject ed to heavy losses, unless all signs fail. Information from a hereto fore reliable source would indi- cate that some prominent crepe hangers and chronic bears are sending out o s signals. And it is altogether probable that these signals of distress may not yet meet with the desired response"
 Columbia Gas and Electric stock maintained fair degree of firm ness today even through trying period when 15 per cent call money sent shiver up and down the spines of the bull traders. There is a strong belief in certain quar- ters in Wall street that stockhold- CTS in the company are to benefit
