WHEAT GIVES WAY ON REPORTS OF RAIN
 IN THE SOUTHEAST
Corn, Oats and Provisions All Closed at Fractional Losses on Days Rather Small
 TurnoverS
By Associated Press

Chicago May Tits technical position weakened by yesterdays bulge, the wheat market gave way today readily when re- ports of rains in the southwest wiped out Fridays pessimistic reports of crop conditions there. The close was 311lD694 c net lower, with May &1. A1s@1. .A% and July s.13&@1.14. Corn lost 1q1Ac; oats, Km1Mc, and provisions l0@62c.
 The weather reports of showers in Kan sas and Nebraska started wheat off weak, and as evidence came to light that the cash situation had eased the selling, pressure increased. A rapid decline set in when reports that Minneapolis and and Omaha were sending cash grain to this market were supplemented by trade advices that Europe was taking Argen- tine offerings because they were at a goodly discount under this country One seaboard report had it that foreign buy CTS had cancelled 10000 bushels of wheat.
 Very little support was noted at any stage of the market At one time May wheat was nearly 9c under Fridays top figure. and July was off more than 4c. Country offerings were reported fairly liberal on yesterdays bulge, but later ad- vices said this movement showed signs of checking A big run of corn receipts net a rather steady export demand, and this latter condition served as break against the influence of the wheat weak ness. May corn at the start was about 4c under July, but this spread narrowed rapidly, under buying of May and sell ing of July. Indications were that ooo cars of corn might be here Monday, ana railroad inspection crews were told to work tomorrow. It was estimated that 15o cars in today were not inspected. Local cash sales were 422,000 including 325 600 bushels for export Oats were much in sympathy with corn. They showed some firmness at times, but re acted to the wheat weakness Local sell ing of provisions, due to the break Tn grain, overcame the usual effects of strong hog market.

NEW YORK COTTON RY Associated Press
New Orleans otton


 New Orleans, May 7.-Small advances in the early trading in cotton today gave way to moderate declines, the market feeling much hedge selling with offer ings of this sort heaviest in october. which displayed the widest declines From a result of 3 to 8 points over yes- terday's close there was a fall to de- cline of 10 to r points under. the most active months considered. On the close the tone was steady with prices 1 point up to II points down, compared with the last quotations of yesterday. July traded up to 12S6c. fell off to 12.6Sc and closed at 1277c October traded up to 1S.3Sc and then fell to 13.1Sc, closing at 1326c
 Early steadness was due to private message sfrom Liverpool telling of a bet ter feeling regarding the settlement of the coal strike and claiming that large business was waiting to be done. Some buying resulted from the favorable im- pression made by the acceptance of this country of the invitation to send rep resentative to the allied supreme council. Realizing by longs and hedge offerings met the advance and prices commenced to stag The weather map reflected dry and warmer weather over the belt and the forecast called for fairly favorable conditions over Sunday, which caused more or less selling

General Cotton List Closed Steady, at a Net Decline of Four to Ten Points on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York, May 7-There were reac- tions in the cotton market this morning under realizing for over the weekend and scattering liquidation inspired by improved weather conditions in the south. July contracts sold off to 1S .04c, or 15 points net lower, and closed at 13 13c. with the general market closing steady at net decline of to 10 points.
 The opening was to points higher owing to favorable weekend reports from the goods trade and the emphasis placed upon easing money market condi- tons by the reduction of discount rates at Chicago. The strength of bar silver in London was also factor, as it en- couraged the expectation of an expansion in Lancashire business as soon as labor conditions become settled, while the re- cent strength of francs in the exchange market has encouraged optimism with reference to an ultimate agreement on reparations. These features failed to stimulate and general or aggressive buy ing, however, and the market soon turned easier under New Orleans, Wall street and scattered selling, Perhaps the failure of yesterdays conference to set tie the marine strike was a factor, put the more important feature appeared to be the better weather in the south and the bulk of the late forenoon selling was attributed to New Orleans. May eased off to F COG and October to 136lc, mak-
 ing net declines of about 15 to Is points, and reactions of some 25 or 30 points from yesterdays best levels. The mar Ret was then steadied by renewed GOV ering, closing at rallies of or points from the lowest. Another private report published this morning placed the reduc- tion in acreage at B per cent, but while these figures compared bullishly with previous statements, they failed to offset the effects of improved growing condi- tions Today's estimates placed the weeks sales in Fall River at 150,0OO pieces and curtailment of production at 130,00O Cable advices indicated that, Lan- cashire was feeling the effects of in- creasing coal shortage, but reiterated re- ports of a good business pending.

 Pig iron is slow. while the under tone is easy. Buyers are very com servative. and are not disposed to make purchases of their current neeos. Copper has been little less active. Recent inquiries thu~ sar have failed to materialize in actual business. al- though there has been continued buy ing in small lots. and the market dis played steadier tone at the end ot the week. Selling interests express confidence in a strengthening statis> tical position owing to reduction in outrut, and while small lots of elec- trolytic are reported available around |12tsc for prompt shipment the market has been well held up to 12A for May and June Small sales have been re- rcrted to England and the continent. Preliminary estimates place April de> ports combined at about 100, ,000, ,00N pounds. compared with probable domestic production of s6.000.000 and imports of about 20.000,0o0.
 Tin shows hardening tendency. due to gains in London and . better local trade Lead has advanced further. and the firmness in London has served to create a broadening interest here.
 Zinc is quiet and unchanged. and consumers are sufficiently supplied for all immediate needs and will not buy until activity develops in their products The cut in steel prices has not yet been reflected on zinc.
 Antimony is easier and holders show greater desire to move spot stocks to save storage charges.

MARKET LETTERS
Raymond, Palmer & Go.

New York, May 7.--(Special )-Spurts Of short-lived activity and higher levels ot prices prevailed in cotton from time to time during the week, only to be fol- lowed by periods of almost utter stag nation and lower figures. Sentiment IS undeniably bearish. However, we believe this is wisdom in the ancient advice never to sell a dull market
 Favorable termination of political and labor issues TOW pending could, in our opinion, easily bring about an advance Of 100 points or more. On the other hand, there is no feature in sight to war rant a material decline. We favor pur. chase at present levels, but think profits should be taken on any sharp advance. = Raymond, Palmer & Co.

New York May 1.-The 20 per cent wage reduction announced by the Steel Corporation has infused feeling of nervousness into the steel market. as it iS feared it may prepare the way for another price adjustment. Some au- tkorities maintain. however, that the reduction does not fully cover the April decline in prices and that no further changes are probable. Buyers are limiting their purchases to fit actual requirements, nevertheless. and while these have increased somewhat Of late they are much below normal
