New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 13.--Higher levels prevailed in the early trading in cot ton today, mainly because of too much rain in the belt. but later on the great CT part of the advance was wiped out by selling which had it's foundation in reports from mill centers that cur tailment of production was likely as the result of fewer orders.
 A more favorable view was taken of the weather outlook and this helped sellers to some extent. The opening was higher and the advance persisted until it amounted to 30 to b3 points, July rising to 3S.30c and october to 36.35c. This was the high of the day.
 Enough selling came in to entirely wipe out the gain of July and put that month points under yesterdays close but, at their lowest, the new crop months were still 4 to 10 points over yesterday's close Last prices were 4 points down to 12 points up net for the session.
 According to official reports, rains were mainly in the Mississippi valley and to the eastward and they were regarded as very detrimental, but the buying which they aroused was checked when the forecast of fair weather for the western half of the belt was posted Selling gradually Increased and was at it's greatest vol ume late in the day

New York, May 1S.-An early ad- vance on continued bullish weather and crop news was followed by reactions in the cotton market today with the late selling, accompanied by rumors that some of the textile mills at ProVi' dence were planning to operate only three days week.
 October contracts sold off from Sb.ooc to 359oc and the general list closeo barely steady, net unchanged to 4V points lower.
 The market opened steady at an ao- vance of Is to 19 points in spite or disappointing cables and the new crop months sold 5S to 57 points above last nights closing figures during the mia dle of the morning,
 Private reports of rains in eastern and central sections of the belt were oo nfirmed by officials advices and there were reiterated complaints of too much rain in some sections of Texas.

PRESSURE WAS LESS AZ TER THE EARLIER MARKET DEALINGS
Iron and Steel Trade Activ- ity Greatly Curtailed By Freight Congestion In
 Middle West
By Associated Press


 New York, May 13.-The same factors or influences which have combined against constructive effort or bullish in- 1tiatiye in the stock market during the last few weeks were operative again to- day, although in less pronounced form.
 Trading was light and pressure of liquidation almost ceased after the early dealings. Further enforced offerings were reported, however, from centers where industrial unrest, credit curtaiiment and adverse transportation conditions have created pessimism.
 Freight congestion resulting from the railroad tie-up in the middle west con- tinued to initiate against any material revival of activity in the steel and iron trade, but advices from the Pittsburg district offered hope of a probable ad- lustment of. latest difficulties with rail- road workers.
 Although heavy payments of interest are to be made to the government with in the next few days, local banks again loaned freely of call money at s per cent. the rate later rising to 10 per cent.
 From western and southwestern sec- tons, however came word of increasing money stringency.
 In the stock market the same issues, namely, steels, motors, oils, textiles. feathers and shippings, rose and >fell within a more moderate radius, losses of large fractions to a point prenominating at the irregular to heavy close.
 According to leading banking interests, the bond market again lost ground, all the Liberty issues weakening, with new low records in majority of that group. International bonds were the only ex- ception to the lower trend. Total sales, par value, aggregated $10, ,25O0O0. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

BOTTOM DROPS OUT
 OF CORN MARKET
 IN THE CHICAGO PIT
Provisions Take Dip of Twenty five to Fifty-two Gents on Lack of Confidence on Part of
 Buyers
By Associated Press

Chicago. May 13.-Support for high prices gave out today in the corn mar ket, rallies failed to last and there was heavy close, 19s @2s net lower, with July s175A @17513 and Septem- Der s1.62A @1.62h. Oats lost IS @1A @15sc and provisions 25052c.
 It quickly became apparent that mo- table lack of confidence had developed on the part of buyers in the corn mar ket and that difficulty would be en- countered in sustaining prices at the seasons new top record established yesterday. In this connection much attention was given to talk of special efforts which western railroads had begun with the purpose of enlarging the movement in grain. A report that Omaha was shipping corn to Chicago and that Kansas City and Milwaukee were ready to follow suit put the bulls at a further disadvantage and made values drop rapidly at the last. Sunshiny weather was also a bear ish factor and so were also advices of railway strikers returning to work. Houses with eastern connections were conspicuous in the selling.
 Oats were firm at the start, but de- clined later.
 Provisions reflected the weakness of grain, notwithstanding assertions of the best domestic demand for hams and bacon this season.
