Commodity Markets
COTTON MARKET

New York, May 24.-The cotton
market had very irregular opening
today, unexpectedly heavy first June
notices promoting decline of u points
in that month, whereas later positions
were points lower to 2 points higher.
June notices TO the extent of about
1000 bales were in circulation. partly
representing retcnders of cotton taken
up on May and partly the rendering Of
cotton which arrived here too late for
May delivery. In many cases con-
Il acts sold out in tha old crop posi-
tions were replaced by purchases of
the distant months. Brokers with
japanese connections were the principal
buyers of July, one operator taking
about 5000 bales on the opening.
Favorable weather in the belt and
further weakness in the foreign ex-
change market tended to restrict gem
eral buying, but the market during the
early trading ruled fairly steady. New
Orleans sold the new crop months.
The receipts at the ports for the day
are estimated at 900 bales, against
"a. $50 bales week ago. 11,211 bales
year ago and 20, ,437 bales two years
ago.

Important Issues In Fai5 De-
mand--Lackawanna Coal
Sells at 80 Y

New York, May A.--The action OF
the Broad Street Curb market in to
days trading was deserving Of special
comment because OF the manner In which
prices were maintained In the outside
market, while severe losses were sus.
taincd in the stocks traded in on the ex {.
change.
There was q fair demand for nearly
all the important issues during the
greater part OF the day and the declines
which occurred were in nearly all cases
Of only moderate extent. Lackawanna
rights were traded in at BIN to 81 and
Glen Alden Coal sold at 361p. The
Lackawanna Coal stock issued some
time ago was traded In at SO. Read.
ing rights were fairly active with sales
at 151a and 1875. Farrell Coal held
firm with small amount Of business
at 151a.
Durant Motors was one of the strong
features during the forenoon, ranging
from 22 to 22i2. Union Carbide was
exceptionally weak and sold down to
4Sh. Sweets CO. Of America wns
steady with small sales AZ az and 33s.
American Leather ranged from 14h
Petroleum stocks generally ranged
lower, but losses were mostly Of frac-
tions. Elk Basin yielded to IN and
International Petroleum yielded from
IGN to 1915. Simms Petroleum was
traded In at S3A and SH. Standard Oil

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York, May 24.--The coffee
futures market was quiet this morning
and opening prices were unchanged to
5 points lower, July selling at 6.15c
and March at 7.30c.
Trading remained very quiet during
the late forenoon and prices held within
., point or two OF the opening quota =
tions.
Evidently the Brazilian cables were
somewhat disappointing, for, while mil :
rels prices were unchanged to 7j
reis higher, Rio exchange rates were
easier, the dollar was worth 80 reis
moro, while there was decline of 32d
In the rate Of Rio exchange on Lon
don.
The effects of government buying In
Brazil are supposed to be shown by the
fact that Rio shippers are offering prac
tlcally no coffee whatever here, but
Santos still seems to have coffee for sale,
receipts continue full and the demand
for consumption is light.

In every other city of any size,
other newspapers are printed
and other people read them in
the same intensive way. In the
great stretches of rural commu-
mites the newspapers from the
cities radiate out through the
mail boxes.
North America is literally
bound together and welded into
a continent with common knowl-
edge and common impulses-by
its 30,000,000 daily newspaper
circulation.
Newspaper readers have come
to look on the daily advertising
as part of the news. They turn
to their newspaper when they
want to buy, just as they turn
to it for the ball score or the
latest developments across the
sea.
Local merchants know this and

arrival noticed streak of dust COM
