New Orleans Cotton
 a.. A..,...a px.x.

New Orleans, April S.-1mportant op- erations in the old crop months today affected the entire Mist of active months in the cotton market, carrying prices to new high levels and forcing May to the record price for this market of 4105c a pound. For 8 while. the mar ket was entirely in the control of the long side, which put the active months A to 100 points higher than yester- days close. Toward the close there was much realizing of profits on long contracts, and it caused moderately wide reactions so that closing prices were points lower to I3 points higher than the last prices Of yesterday May being the month showing the widest gain.
 The dealings in May were accepted the March position to higher levels. At the highest there were reports of pros pective offerings by spot interests, who had tenders in view, but May at 4l.05c compared with the board price of II soc for middling spots, which was sufficient discount to prevent tenders, even of the low grades.
 Fears of more rain in the belt were a help to values, but there was period of comparative easiness in the early trading, which was based to some ex- tent on the good weather reflected on the weather map for the preceding "A hours At this stage of the session prices at their lowest were to 32 points under the finals of yesterday.
 These early losses were not long maintained.

INDICTMENT RUMOR
 ON THE CORN MARKET BEARISH IN EFFECT
Dealings Lack Volume and Close Is Weak, One Eighth to One Cent
 LOwer-Federal Probe
By Associated Pres.


 Chicago, April S.-Reports that promi- nent traders might be indicted on charges of criminal manipulation of prices had bearish effect today on the corn market. Dealings lacked volume and the close was weak, lsc to 1c lower, with May S1,6a to sl.6fl, and July s1.57ss to $1.57S. Oats finished I4c off to a like advance and provisions down 25M4oc.
 Federal investigation of an alleged cor ner in the May delivery of corn attract ed more attention at the opening today than at any previous time. The fact that several of the biggest spectators on exchange were specifically mentioned as the individuals aimed st was given par ticular notice Later, the bearish senti- ment thus engendered was temporarily offset by the government crop report pointing to smaller yield of winter wheat than had been looked for. The widening out of the railroad strike counted also to some extent as a transient bullish factor. At the last. however, the federal grand jury again became the center of interest owing somewhat to message from the Attorney General urg- ing that any traders implicated in & cor ner be prosecuted to the limit.
 For the most part oats merely followed corn. Provisions showed a dearth Of sup port; lard especially was weak.

IRREGULAR CLOSE DUE ID EXTENSIVE
 AND LATE SELLING
Early Dealings on Exchange Are Attended By Greater
 Scope and Confidence
By A...eI.,.s Pros.

New York, April s.-The same influ- ence and factors that gave upward impetus to recent sessions of the stock market were operative again today, but extensive selling in the finals hour caused much irregularity at the close.
 Dealing during the early and inter- mediate periods were attended by greater scope and confidence. albeit originating largely with. professional interests, rails were fairly active and moderately higher for the first time since the inception of the current move ment
 The financial district buzzed with ru- mors of additional stock dividends, and possible mergers or consultations of industrial companies, especially those in the equipment and motor trades.
 The bullish maneuvers of pools in many stocks of comparatively recent Notation were assisted by easy money. Large amounts were loaned on call at per cent but time funds inclined to greater firmness, due to meager of ferings.
 As usual, the greater part of the days activity was furnished by steels, equipments motors and oils, together with several less distinctive specialties These were represented by Stromberg Carburetor, Vanadium Steel, Baldwin and American Locomotives, American Car, Mexican Petroleum, Texas Copper. Industrial Alcohol and sugars
 Gross advances of 3 to Il points in these stocks were largely or altogeth- CT forfeited in the realizing movement towards the end, the shorts putting out fresh lines on rumors of industrial un- rest in the west.
 Foreign exchange was again unset tied, but the most interesting and sig nificant development in the interna- tional situation was the announcement that the Bank of France had increased it's discount rate to per cent
 Bonds were reactionary, rails losing l to points, and Paris 6s declining l point with pressure against Liberty and Victory issues. Total sales (par value) aggregated s10,S75,o00. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

 New York, April S.-The local mar ket for raw sugar continues strong and prices again made new high records, closing at l5h cents for Cubas cost and freight, equal to 16.55c for centrifugal, on continued active buying by local re- liners and further unfavorable Cuban crop advices. There were sales of about 5000 bags of Cubas for April shipment at 1e55c if and about 3D.Oo0 bags full duty sugars at 15i4c if afloat. in port and prompt shipment.

By Associated Prs,,

New York, April S,-There were ex- cited and violent fluctuations in the cot ton market today Trade interests were active buyers of old crop months Par ticularly of July which sold up to S9 55c, or l0l points above last nights closing quotation. All months made new hish records but the advance in later deliv- cries was held back by better weather conditions in the south and there were sharp reactions in the late trading July closed at 3S.9S or A points net higher, with the general market closing steady, net A points higher to 10 points lower Active new crop months showed net losses of to 10 points for the day.
 The market opened easy at an advance of points on May but generally to 1s points lower under realizing, and selling for reaction. The buying Of old crop positions for trade account in- cluded purchases of July believed to be for Southern spinners and there was considerable buying of new crop posi- tions against forward requirements. This causedf irregularity right after the call but there was good deal of reaction ary sentiment. and at one time during the morning new crop positions were 0 to % points net lower. The persistent demand for near months and the forecast for unsettled weather in the southwest started a covering movement later, which carried May up to 4l.I5c and De- tober to 35.75 with new crop positions slowing net advances of 90 to 70 points. The more active demand then seemed uo have been supplied and the market eased off in the late trading with last prices showing reactions of 45 to 65 points from the best.
 One of the private wires received here from the south said that certain low grades were on a tenderable basis com pared with May in New York, but noth- ing was heard of shipments in this di- rection.
