WHEAT WENT UP WHILE
PREDICTIONS WERE FOR
A BIG BREAK IN THE PIT
By Associated Press

Chicago, May 19-Wheat advanced
sharply today, upsetting predictions that
the market would undergo a big break.
Passage of an anti-pit bill through one
branch of the Illinois legislature failed
to have much influence on values, being
far outweighed by crop damage reports.
The market closed strong at 1Aq41sc net
higher, with May $1.52d1 ,521s and July
81. 1871 al. 20. Corn finished AG11sc down;
oats off 1aqssc, and provisions at gains OF
2t2Q3oc.
1t took only a minute to demonstrate
in wheat prices. The extreme decline was
219c, and had scarcely been reached be-
fore the market began to swing upward
with rush. A majority of traders took
the position that the anti-pit bill in the
legislature was still long way from en-
actment and had been chiefly effective
for the time being as affording good
opportunity to buy. knowledge that
field scouts of various brokerage houses
were sending in bullish reports from the
southwest added greatly to the courage
of buyers. although word of rains in
Kansas led at one time to transient de-
cline Houses with seaboard connections
bought freely and the market closed at
almost the top figures of the day.

planting showed rapid progress Kept

BETTER WEATHER
LED TO FURTHER
COTTON DECLINE
General Staple List Closed
Quiet at a Net Decline of
Eight to Nineteen Points
on the Day
BY Associated Press

New York, May 19.-The better
weather reported in the south led to
further scattering liquidation in the
cotton market today with July con
tracts selling off to 1851 and closing
at 1853. The general market closed
quiet at net decline of to 10 points.
The market opened steady at de-
cline of 1 to points as a result of
overnight selling orders which seemed
to come largely from New Orleans.
Private cables reported a quiet market
at Liverpool wit ha poor spot demand,
but prices there were fully up to ex-
pectations, and there were rallies
right after the call here on covering.
They carried July up to 1880, and Oc-
tober to 13.4S, or 2 to 4 points net
higher, but scattering liquidation con-
tinued, and the market soon weakened.
The unsettled feeling reported in the
grain trade as a result of Illinois state
legislation may have accounted for
some scattered western selling while
reports that bill to restrict specula-
ton in cotton futures had been intro
duced in the House at Washington,
probably, caused some nervousness
The influence most generally empha-
sized in connection with the decline
however, was the Improvement in

ference of July longs to later months
which resulted in some widening OF
| the early new crop premium in spite
of the better weather news. May sold
off to 1918, and October to 1882, and
last prices were approximately the
lowest of the day Reports of an in
creased business in print cloths at
Fall River had a sustaining Influence
in the market early, but very little
trade demand was reported around the
ring and the market was so narrow
that it felt the effects of comparative
ly small selling orders. Exports today

New Orleans May IA turn for the

levels today, after period of advanc-
ing prices around the opening From
gains of six to seven points over yes
terdays close, there was a fall to lev
els Is to II points below, on the most
active months. July trading up to
12.47c, and falling off to 12.23c. On
the close the list showed losses of to
IL points net, with July at 12.30c
Realizing by short sellers of the ear
lier part of the day caused steadiness
The better prices in the early trad
ing were due mainly to reports that
very heavy trading had been done in
Fall River this week although the bet
ter Liverpool than due and predictions
that the coal strike in England would
be settled this week helped values.
After the posting of the weather map
the market lost it's strength and com
menced to sag. Generally dry and sea,
sonably warm weather was indicated
over the cotton region, with the out
look for little change in the near flu
ture, which led to bearish comment in
connection with the first condition
period of the season, ending with the
twenty-fifth of this month, bearish
dition report last year was 624 per
cent of normal, the lowest figures ever
returned for the twenty-fifth of May.

Coffee Market

ny Associated freSo
New York, May 19.-The market for
coffe futures was generally lower to-
day owing to the failure of Rio eX-
change rates to hold recent advances
and further scattering liquidation
partly from Wall street sources. The
opening was at decline of to 3
points and the market sold off to $50
for July and SGT for September or 5
to points net lower TIL eclose was
9 points higher for May but there were
no sales for that delivery and later

L|FELESS BUSINESS
IN STOCKS WITH A
REACT|ONARY TREND
Inquiry for Money Was Ex-
ceedingly Light Because of
Dizziness In Stock Market,
But Held at 7 Per Cent
Bx Associated Press

New York, May 19.-Business on the
stock exchange today was lifeless with
reactionary trend Even the rails, which
figured prominently in the moderate i'm
provement Of the previous session, were
dull, and in some instances substantially
lower.
The forthcoming reduction of wages by
the railroad labor board seemed to have
lost it's force as a bullish factor. Trad
ers evidently proceeded on the theory
that such action long had been dis
counted.
Postponement Of dividend declaration
by the Hooking Valley railway directors
clearly indicated that the question OF re-
duced or suspended disbursements does
not wholly apply to industrial or mlscei-
laneous shares.
Oils again were the most erratic issues
Further short selling was encouraged by
cables from London reporting pronounced
heaviness in the Dutch group. lncldent-
ally, additional cuts were announced IN
domestic crude products and export
prices.
Steels, equipments, motors, sugars and
utilities comprised the bulk of the other
offerings at gross recessions Of l to 3
points Sporadic snort covering III lile
cheaper oils, tobaccos and international
Paper impaired measure Of steadiness
to the final dealings.
Although the inquiry for money was
exceedingly light because of the dullness
in the stock market call loans held firm
at per cent rates for time accommoda-
tons also ruling at recent rates.
International remittances reflected the
more hopeful feeling in connection with
the Silesian situation. Demand sterling
rose fraction over 81 and all the prln-
cipal continental rails strengthened, nota-
bly, bills on Paris and Antwerp.
Liberty bonds were fractionally lower
and fractions also eased, but rails and
/, industrials were mixed. Among foreign
I issues Mexicans again reacted sharply

among the various European flotations.
