EARLY Optimism About Bet
ter European Situation
Fails to Hold Through
out the Days Trading

A moro hopeful view Of European
for an opening advance in the cotton
market yesterday. 1t was hardly we'll
enough defined to create any general
buying, however, and prices later re-
acted on reports that Germany was
preparing a note protesting inability
to meet the Allied demand for 1,0O0,-
100000 marks by May 1. Secretary
Hoover's statement with reference to
trading on credit basis with gov
crnment which refused to recognize in
dividual property rights also tended to
modify early optimism, and, after sell
ing at 11.0Sc at the start, May con-
tracts eased off to |1,S1c. They closed
at 1885. with the general market
steady at net advance Of 7M12 points.
IheSclose was within point or two of
the lowest on most positions.
Local traders found no fresh feature in
the domestic goods situation far as

any change In Southern advlces as to spot
conditions or acreage prospects. General
business was very quiet during the entire
wait for clearer view of the European
outlook or by the approach of the Easter

Estimates OF tho amount of wheat taken
for Europe varied from 1900. 900 bushels
to double that amount. How much of It
was: domestic and how much Canadian
could not be readily ascertaned. Knowl-
edge that active measures were being
taken to facilitate tho passage Of a new

ness OF rural offerings. Buying power,

speculative selling pressureA and also to
considerable selling on the part of an
elevator interest. Favorable weather and
crop conditions were additional bearsh
factors In the trading near the end of the
session.
Damage resulting from tho elevator, ex-
ploson here gave an upward swing to
corn and oats for while. but the effect
failed to last when the wheat market
turned weak.
Provisions were governed chiefly by the
action OF hog values, which, although at
