Prices eased off in consequence with July selling steady undertone. closing at 12.07c. The general market closed steady at decline of points to an advance Of ? points
 The opening reflected disappoint- ment over the showing of Liverpool. There had been reports here late yes terday of buying on better prospects for settlement of the British coal strike. This mornings cables however, were lower than due and private ad- vices said mill curtailment In Man chester was increasing because of labor troubles. This led to scattering liqui- dation which accounted for the opening decline of to 10 points, while there owing to the circulation of notices rep resenting nearly 5000 bales

WHEAT SHORTAGE LED
 TO A DECIDED UPWARD
 SWING IN GRAIN PIT
By Associated Prnsn

Chicago. May 3.-Shortage of wheat at terminal markets led>to a decided upward swing in wheat prices today for the May delivery in particular. There was a buoyant close at 2slc to sac net advance, with May s1.421a to $1.42I and July SLIP to S.121a. Corn gained 1ac to 1hc and oats Ac to hc. In provisions the finish va ried from 121ac decline to 15c advance.
 It was the generally accepted opinion that whether or not there was plenty of wheat in the hands of growers, very lt- tie was in position to be available for immediate commercial use. Neither mill CTS nor exporters appeared to be able to buy freely. Meanwhile evidence accumu- lated that May holdings were largely for seaboard account as a hedge against export sales. The few bears who ven- tured to aEt on an opposite view, and who therefore sold May, saw the mar ket go against them as much as 9 cents a bushel in some cases Meanwhile, the July option, in which the great bulk of the pit trade centered, was bullishly af- fected in sympathy and also by talk Of frost tonight, the prevalence of orange rust, excessive moisture and other condi- tions likely to injure the new crop
 Corn and oats derived their strengch from the action of wheat
 Pork and ribs were firm in line with higher quotations on hogs. Lard was easier owing to big stocks on hand in warehouses here.

New Orleans CottOn RY ASanciatAd Prasa

New Orleans, May 3.-No definite trend was taken by the cotton market today, moderate declines and equally moderate advances succeeding each ether rapidly, while the close was un- changed to points down. compared with the last quotations of yesterday The main feature of the day was the sharp rally toward the middle of the morning, based on the cold weather ever the belt. This rally did not hold because it met extensive hedge selling and large offerings which were set down as coming from spot interests
 Around the opening, there were de- cilnes of to points in sympathy with poor Liverpool, but almost inn niediately a buying movement was in- augurated, and it carried the market Il to l6 points over the close of yes terday, July trading up to 12.80c. The hedge selling was felt as the market advanced, and it finally had the effect oI choking off the speculative demand Toward noon prices were at their low est, II to 12 points under the last quotations of yesterday, with July down to 12.53c.
 Tn the late trading the market ran into another period ofsteadiness which appeared to be altogether due to ex- fectations that the weekly cron re- ports from the government tomorrow would be unfavorable because of the low temperatures and rainy weather of the week. July closed at 1ae4c

STOCK MARKET WAS.
 MORE OR LESS TORN. UP ON WALL STREET.
Easier Tendencies Ruled In tlW Money Market, Call Loans Falling to Six and One
 Half Per Cent
By Associated Press

New York, May 3-Trading in the stock market today was attended by success sion of confusing advances, reactions and irregular rallies, the net result, save among a few of the more seasoned issues, being rather inconclusive.
 Dealings fell considerably below the large total of the previous session, but the. movement was no less comprehen- sive, embracing, in addition to the usual favoriteS, many unclassfied shares. The bulk of the turnover again centered, how -ever, in the oils, motors, steels and ship pings.
 Mexican Petroleum maintained it's re- cent record for cratic leadership, de- clinng 21A points after an early gain Of almost points, and finishing near the low of the day. Other oils were equally un- certain and the motor group showed mixed changes at the end.
 Passing of the dividend on American Cotton Oil preferred resulted in break of 4 points for that stock and more or less unsettlement throughout the food divi- sion Tobacco, leather and mail order issues moved in an unstable way, put rallies were firm, though dull.
 Easier tendencies ruled in the money market, call loans falling to 61a per cent after opening at 2 per cent, with freer offerings of time funds and some in quiry for commercial paper, mainly from interior banks.
 Exchange on London and Paris rose to highest levels for the current movement on extensive operations. Belgian, Italian, Dutch and Swiss rates also rose irregu- larly the advance suggesting increasing confidence in an early solution or the German reparations controversy
 Bonds were firm to strong in the main, most of the Liberty group rising moder- ately, with further strength in specula- tive rails Belgium sizes featured the in ternational division at a smart advance.
 Total sales, par value, were Sl3,IIo,VW.
