COTTON COULD NOT HOLD AN ADVANCE
 AFTER GOOD START
 SOMEBODY IS ALWAYS TAXING THE JOY OUT OF LIFE
Close of the General List Was Very Steady, Net Un- changed to Fourteen
 Points Lower
By Associated Press

New York. April 27.-An early ad- vance in the cotton market was fol lowed by declines under realizing and hedge selling or local pressure which was probably inspired by apprehen- sions of a strike by marine engineers and reports of an unsettled feeling in Wall street. July contracts broke from 12.7Sc to 12.59c. and closed at 12.64c, compafed with 12.72c yesterday. The general market closed very steady net unchanged to fl points lower.
 The market opened steady. at an ad- vance of two points to a decline of seven points, and sold about four to nine points net lower right after the call. There was probably some disap- pointment that early advices reflected no progress in a settlement of the British coal strike. but Liverpool made fairly steady showing and prices here soon rallied owing to a continued wet weather map, reports that May liquidation had been pretty well com pleted and private report pointing to a decrease of 31 per cent in acreage. May was relatively firm, selling up to 12.zSc or 12 points net higher, while October advanced to 13.3Sc, or only a point above last nights closing quota tion. The weekly report of the wealth. CT bureau was quite as unfavorable as expected, while later advices from Lon don indicated better prospects for an early adjustment of the coal dispute, but these features failed to stimulate buying. As a result, tre market proved very sensitive to realizing sales which increased as prices worked low CT. while there was also some selling by spot houses on the late decline to 12.1Oc for May and 13.32c for October
 Closing prices showed moderate ral- lies on renewed covering The action of the stock market and easier ruling of foreign exchange rates seemed to have an unsettling effect on sentiment as to prospects for an agreement on war reparations, which local brokers regarded as contributing to the nerv- ousness of the market Exports today, 3S,0S9, making 4,055,404 so far this sea- son Port receipts, 1S2S5, United States port stocks, 1.454,990.

Bulls Were Overloaded
 In the Wheat Market,
 Causing a Late Break
By Associated Prass

Chicago, April 27.-Wheat bulls over loaded themselves today and although prices averaged higher most of the time the market broke at the last. The close was heavy, %c to tAc net lower with May $1.25h to s1.25% and July $1042a to sl05. Corn lost, ssc to Ss@3.c Oats 7sc to ssc and provisions 5c to 17c
 Predictions of an enlarging demand for all grain helped to start the wheat mar ket upward, and bulls showed particular hopefulness that export call would prove to be robust. Expectations of European buying were partly fulfilled later Greece taking ,3C0.000 bushels and it was said India was acquiring rice abroad owing to shortage of the native food supply. Likelihood of frost in Kansas and Ne braska tended also to stimulate bullsh confidence No foreign business except that with Greece developed however. and gossip spread that Germany and Italy time. At this juncture the fact became been sent into storage here. q circum- stance decidedly bearish as to oats. En- suing efforts to let go of wheat holdings made prices descend rapidly in the final half hour
 Word that some corn arriving at Dutch ports wa.s out of condition had a depress- ing effect on the corn market, and so. too, did the liberal storing of oats here. together with the consequent weakness of the oats market.
 Provisions were inclined to sag in the absence of any adequate support

NEW YORK COTTON
New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, April 21-While the cot ton market stood at net gains during the greater part of the session today there were small declines around the opening and again on the close, last prices being practically the lowest of the day and showing net losses of to 13 points, May closing at 1h70c. An unfavorable inter- pretation of foreign political news caused burst of selling in the last few minutes of the day.
 The early selling was due to poor cables, but after declines of to points had been drought about, new demand sprang up, coming from traders who did not like the tone of weather news from the interior. It was considered that tenl- peratures were too low in the western division of the belt and that too much rain had fallen in the central and east ern divisions. Declines were recovered and the market sent to net advances, which were widened slightly by the weekly crop review from the govern ment. The review was considered unfa- vorable because of the mention of eX- cessive rains in the central and wesetrn sections of the belt and retarded germi- nation of seed through low temperatures in the eastern section.
 After mdsession the market turned very quiet and sagged gradually under scattered selling which became more general toward the close

U. s. STEEL LRFpnRT
 WAS BE MARKET
 FACTOR YESTERDAY
Liberty Bonds Lost Ground and Pennsylvania Railroad IS- sues Were Affected by
 Reduced Dividend
By Associated Press

New York, April Y.-The uneven and irregular course of today's stock market was influenced by conflicting and confus- ing developments such as the United States Steel quarterly report the Penn sylvania railroad dividend cut and fresh Complications in the German indemnity stangle.
 cN hese, the most influential was the sis, ing made by the United States Steel Evaporation which fully confirmed the seneral impression of increasing slack hess in that industry. Steel common re- acted an extreme of points and most 1 or the so-called independents made gross 1ecessions of ? to 4 points.
 Rails enjoyed a brief upward spurt at midday on news that the interstate com merce commission had ruled i'll favor of existing intermountain freight rates, but much, if not all of this advantage was forfeited in the final hour on receipt of word that the Pennsylvania dividend had been cut from to per cent.
 Professional pressure seemed to be di- rected against a number of the high priced specialties, including tobacco sub sidiaries. Oils, feathers sugars and kin dred issues suggested a resumption or short selling al gross declines of ? to II points, a heavy tone ruling at the close. Sales amounted to SOo,OOO shares.
 The money market followed it's recent mononous course all demand loans be- ing made at the fixed rate of 61A per cent, that figure being fully 1 per cent over outside quotations. Indications of ease were seen Tn time funds, including commercial paper.
 All foreign exchange quotations were lower, the French remittance forfeiting all of yesterdays substantial advance and Scandinavian rates, especially Stock holm breaking sharply.
 Liberty bonds continued to lose ground and Pennsylvania railroad issues were affected by the reduced dividend on the stock. Other changes. domestic and for eign, were irregular Total sales, par value, were $9,S50,00o.

Sugar Market


 New York, April 27.-No further changes occurred in the raw sugar mar ket and prices were quoted at 37kc for Cubas cost and freight. equal to 4.S9c for centrifugal by the committee, with un- cnotrolled sugars on the same basis Trading was not particularly active, however, with srefiners only interested in nearby positions and sales for the day were only 15,000 bags of San Domingos to a local refiner
 The market for refined was unchanged at 6.75c to 7c for fine granulated with business of only moderate proportions as buyers are, not inclined to anticipate Trading in sugar futures was less ae- tive but the undertone was firmer and after opening 1 point lower to 1 point higher. prices rallied on covering and buying credited to New Orleans interests with closing prices to IS points net higher.

Hubbard Rros


 New York. April 27.-(Special)-our opening was about the same as last nights close Liverpool was about the same as due. with very little fresh news from that source regarding the strike situation. Manchester admits that only the coal strike is holding back activity and that as soon as things are settled in that quarter a larger output can be looked forward to. Our market holds very well. May and July switching con tinues and the expected decline in May is not evident.
 Long Mays are being switched con- tlnually into July and new crop months We wish to >call the attention of our friends that areports are now coming in from careful surveys of the cotton belt that the reduction in acreage will be approximately 30 per cent and 40 per cent reduction in the use of fertilizer. With slowly increasing demand and prospects of smaller crop. we can cx- pect a Slow provement.-Hubbard Bros t& Co

Coffee Market

By ASSOclaIeu fTeSS
 New York, April 27-There were sharp rallies in the market for coffee futures here today which seemed more largely the result of local technical conditions than of any fresh feature in the general news or in advances from Brazil. The notices issued against May contracts were estimated at fully 100000 bags but the liquidation of the near months was qaiclly absorbed al about the recent late month premiums and after opening to , points lower prices flImed up on cover ing. May was relatively firm selling up from 540c to 5.73c, while September advanced from 6.25c to 6.52c. The close was at the best prices of the day show ing a net advance of 20 to 9 points. May 72c; July, 6.11c; September, 652c; Oc- tober 6.64c: December, 7.o2c; January, 7''i3c; March, 7.35c.
 Spot coffee was reported in better de- n.and at 57sc to 6c for Rio Is and SAc to 915c for Santos As. Few cost and freight offers were received, but it was reported that some shippers were asking for bids. Offers of Santos As and 5s bourbons were reported at American credits.
 The official cables quoted Rio un- changed to 70 reis higher and Santos un- changed to 100 res higher, but the dollar buying rate showed arf advance of 151 reis and Rio exchange on London was sS 1-lsd lower. Brazilian port receipts 49, 900; Jundiahy receipts. 25000.
