LIQUIDATION WAS
STILL BIG FEATURE
ON GOOD WEATHER
General Cotton List Closed
Firm at a Net Advance of
Ten to Twenty three
Points on the Day
BY Associated Press

New York May 2o.-The favorable
weather map led to continued scattering
liquidation in the cotton market during
tcday's early trading. On decline to
l. SIC for July. however. the presence of
trade buying around the 121zc level was
evident and the price later rallied to
12.Soc on covering for over the week
end July closed at 12.7sc, with the gen.
eral market closing firm at net ad-
vance of 10 to % points.
Owing to the holiday there were no
cables from Liverpool, and the market
here opened steady at a decline of to
10 points. There was some Liverpool and
New Orleans buying, presumably to
cover recent sales, but 1t was soon sup
piled with active months selling to IA
points net lower during the middle of the
morning. Selling on this decline, which
carried May off to Csc and October
to 1880, was promoted by reports of
generally clear warm weather in the belt
except for showers on the South Atlantic
coast and talk of free spot offerings in
the south. There was nothing in the
trading here to indicate that such offer.
ngs were being pressed for sale at dc
clines, however. and when resting Oh
ders were uncovered as July approached
Il. sec, the market turned flrmer on COW
ering There was some buying of July
supposedly to fix prices for the trade,
and one of the features of a narrow mar
ket was covering by May shorts About
10 May notices were reported, but they
we're evidently without effect and May
was brought up to IL 41c on the late adj
vance or % points net higher and within
80 points of the July price. This helped
the recovery in later months and October
sold at 10 50c, or 16 points net higher,
closing within a point or two of the best.
Sales of print cloths in the Fall River
market for the week were estimated at
10000 pieces, and the increased business
was accompa MED by reports of prospects
for greater mill activity next week. Cur
tailment during the past week is said to
Fave been on about the recent scale.

New Orleans Cotton


New Orleans, May 2o.-Weather and
crop accounts were both against and with
values in the cotton market today. In
the early trading the dry weather and
seasonable temperature over the belt
were regarded as highly favorable, and
er ough selling came in to depress the &C
tive months 10 to Is points below the level
of yesterdays close, July dropping to
1216c. In the later trading complaints
of drouth in parts of Texas and Okla
homa and statements from the latter
state that only 10 per cent of the crop
was up in some counties caused a right
about face in sentiment. and prices re-
covered and went to IL points higher
than yesterdays close, July touching
II. 39c The close showed net gains on
the day of to IL points, with July at
12.S6c.
The early decline came about all the
easier because of the refusal of the Ian
cashire mill owners to accept the new
wage scale proposed by master mill own
ers, but there was little selling pressure
after the middle of the morning. High
posting of the weekly statistical state
ment, as mill takings for the week of
10000 bales were larger than expected,
the general impression having been that
they would not compare favorably with
last weeks takings of $4,000 bales. 1t
was mainly a weather market, and the
forecast of dry weather in the end ac-
cepted as meaning that conditions COM
planned of in the west would be further
appreciably dull.

DUN'S REVIEW
BY Associated Press

New York, May 2O.-Dun's tomorrow
will say:
With general departure from the policy
OF restricted buying. a full reflection or
the factors making for better business
is still lacking. Confidence in the future,
although increasing does not lead to Wig
OF Gus action, the main attitude contnu-
ing one of hesitation. While unseasonably
cool weather has tended to impede pro-
gress. other conditions are even more
influential, most interests awaiting an
extension of the industrial establishments
and further lessening of price uncer-
tantes. The movement toward more
settled markets is well defined in some
channels where more than a year of de-
flation has brought relatively low prices.
but stability is yet to be attained in va
rious quarters. and important commit
merits are being deferred wherever pos
sble. Despite the various unsatisfactory
features. however, there is more basis
for encouragement in the general out
look. The easing of the monetary ten
sion, as disclosed by the reduction OF
discount rates at several leading centers
marks constructive development and a
modification of the depression on the for
eign exchange rates is also helpful.

CROP CONDITIONS IN

By Associated Press

Chicago, May 20-Soaring prices today

crop conditions both west and southwest
The market closed strong at sac to 7s4c
net higher, with May $685. to s1.59a4 and
July $l.2S% to sl24i4 Corn finished I'M
changed to 2sc lower; oats gained 1sc to
sc, and provisions lost, 21ac to Sc.
From the outset, bulls had the advan-
tage in the wheat market 1t appeared
to be generally admitted that the winter
crop has suffered material injury, the
southwest in particular. losing ground,
notably Oklahoma, Texas and Missouri.
Reports were also current that unless
plentiful moisture came soon in Kansas
heavy losses would occur in sections
which look promising. Bulls made much
too of gossip that Russia had been buy
ing wheat at Liverpool and was in the
market for more. Inasmuch as under
normal conditions Great Britain would
be obtaining supplies from Russia instead
OF shipping to that country, the inference
was that continued export demand for
United States wheat would remain an i'm
portant factor. With such an outlook
the market developed strength up to the
lest. closing at practically the topmost
level of the day.
Predictions that corn receipts here
would show decided increase next week
tended to weaken the corn market On
the other hand reports indicated that
the condition of oats is below the aver
age for this time of the year.
In provisions the effect of higher quo
tations on hogs was counter-balanced by
the weakness of corn. I.

REACTIONS TAKE
PLACE IN MOST OF
POPULAR ISSUES
Brokers Reported More Than
the Usual Demand for Call
Money, All Placed at
Seven Per Cent

New York, May 20.-Depreciation OF
quoted values in the stock market made
further substantial progress today Re-
actions encompassed a majority of the
popular issues. the only exceptions be-
ing few specialties tected by bull
pools.
The same discouraging factors which
served as restraining influences in the
preceding days of the week were opera
tive again, chief among these we're the
continued tightness of money rates and
additional dividend suspensions.
In the latter class were included Ches-
apeake and Ohio Railway and American
Linseed common. The first named Incl
the stock making an extreme decline OF
6 points on heavy offerings.
Among observers of transportation con-
ditions, however, the action of the Ches-
apeake directors was regarded as alto
gether logical, having been foreshadowed
by yesterdays deferrnent Of the Hooking
Valley Railway dividend.
Rails as a group lost l to points and
oils of the better class yielded as much
with more severe losses in obscure issues
and steels. Equipments, motors and util-
tiles were lower by to points with
varied assortment of miscellaneous
stocks, minimum prices being registered
in the active dealings of the last hour.
Brokers reported more than the usual
demand for call money, all of which was
placed at per cent on the exchange, but
in the open market this quotation was
shaded to 61a per cent. Long time loans
and merchants paper held at 81 to
per cent, save for prime collateral and
names. Exchange on London, Paris and
other important centers eased slightly
from recent levels.
Junior bonds of the various railroads
suffered a setback with Chesapeake and
Ohio convertible IS and fractions also
lost ground. Liberty issues closed al
nominal gains, but most of the foreign
war quotations showed further irregular
ity. Total sales, par value, $40, 10000.

New York, May Especial 1.-The
market during the early trading eased off
some 10 points on favorable weather re-
ports from the cotton belt. The English
coal strike situation seems unchanged
and continues to be depressing infiu-
ence on our market. Hester's figures on
SINNERS takings were viewed as fav-
able in comparison with last year.
The market still continues to show a
tendency to advance. The drop from
last weeks high was due in all proba-
bilty to the fact that the settlement OF
the German indemnity question did not
bring a revival OF trade as was expect
ed. Indications are that the construc-
tive period is well under way with eco
nornic factors righting themselves bit
