New Orleans Cotton
BY Associated Press

New Orleans, May 1.-THE small adj
vances that persisted in the cotton mar
ket today were mainly due to covering
of the short interest, although there was
small buying for long account on con-
tinued unsatisfactory weather over the
belt and rumors that new proposal for
ending the coal strike in England was
about to be submitted to the coal mine
owners and the miners. Liverpool came
in better than due after the Whitsuntide
holidays in that market which helped
the opening here, but after advances of
IA POINTS the upward movement was
checked and during the remainder of the
session the market made small says and
recoveries and finally closed 10 to IL
points up on the day. July traded up to
u. soc and closed at 12.65c.
While the weather map did not show
much rain over the cotton region, tenn
peratures were too low In nearly all sec
lions of the melt and the barometer lines
formed a threatening storm area to the
northwest of the belt which caused many
traders to fear more rain Reports from
the interior concerning the crop were
highly unfavorable, telling Of poor stands
and much replanting necessary. In some
portions of the belt it is claimed that
the acreage is suffering further reduc-
tons because when farmers replant they
do not replant the full original acreage
of the season Such claims had their cf-
feet on sentiment. Steadiness on the close
was due to expectations of unfAvorabie
weekly crop reports from the govern
raent tomorrow.

Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

Washington will be arranging other
come will be of momentous Importance
The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Mel
Ion. has, IL he be correctly reported, in
timated that within a few weeks our
government may be in negotiation with
representatives of Great Britain in the
hope that satisfactory agreement can
be reached whereby the indebtedness
| of Great Britain to the United States
treasury, which is approximately
| So, 600 100000. can be converted into
| long time security and at a reasonable
rate of interest. If this be done, then
| in time the American public Is likely to
make full investment in these bonds.
If the investment be not full, then that
part of the bonds which the public does
not absorb will remain as a government
| investment held by the treasury and an
| investment of unQuestioned character.
| Early in the winter the prediction
was made that during the year 1921
international financing aggregating bill
| lions would be in progress, the United
| States being one of the parties. This
would of itself identify the year as
worthy to pass into tradition as one of
the most important years in the worlds
history. Since that prediction was
made Germany has yielded to the de-
mand of the allies for certain fixed
reparation and having done this is I'M
doubtedly looking to the United States
, for aid in making the PREPARATIONS pay
ment possible. This negotiation, If it
be under way, and at the same time the
conferences between our government
and the representatives of Great Britain
for the purpose of funding Great
Britain's debt to the treasury depart
ment be in progress, will certainly make
the year 1921 one of historic impor-
| tance

QUE I DAY IN THE
MARKET:
CONDITIONS ARE BAD
General List In Staple Closed
Steady at a Net Advance Of
Eleven to Nineteen Points
on the Day

New York May 1.-THE cotton mar
ket was quiet today, but showed
generally steady tone, owing to unsat-
isfactory growing conditions in the
south. July contracts ranged from
from 1894 to 1906, and closed at
1S.O1c, compared with 1880 at the
close yesterday. The general market
to 10 points Although IA more no.
tees were issued, May was relatively
firm late in the day, selling up to
1850, or 20 points net higher
Private advices from Liverpool re-
ported a poor trade demand, but quota
tions there were fully up to exnecta-
items, and Liverpool was considera
BILE buyer of July here during the
early trading. This demand helped
the early advance, and after opening
two TO nine points higher, active
months soon showed net gains of some
16 to 10 points, with last nights clos
ing figures Reports that London was
hopeful of an early settlement of the
coal strike. also of an early agreement
on allied policy in the matter of ST.
losia had an encouraging influence, but
tho unfavorable weather was the fac
tor most generally discussed on the
upturn. Temperatures were said to
be too low in practically all sections
of the belt, for the best development
of the plant, while rains or showers
were reported east of the river where
dry weather is believed to be urgently
needed.
These advices tended to confirm ex
pcctations of a bullish weekly report
from the weather, bureau tomorrow,
and it was pointed out around the
ring that the government canvas for
the end May condition figures would
occur on Wednesday of next week.
Even with favorable conditions from
now on the trade looks for low re-
port compared with the 10<year aver
age, if not in comparison with last
years condition of 62.4, which was the
lowest on record. There was some
trade buying early. but 1t was not
greatly in evidence. and trading was
very quiet during the afternoon, with
the steadiness of prices emphasizing
the scarcity of offerings. Exports to-
day were 2,749 bales, making 4,275,706
so far this season. Port receipts, a.

EASTERN HOUSES WERE.
BUYERS OF WHEAT AND.
CAUSED HIGHER PRICES.

Chicago, May 17.-Wheat averaged
higher in price today largely as a result
of buying on the part of houses with
eastern connections. The finish was I'M
settled at the same as yesterdays finish
to &c advance, with May 81 .46l4d1 461a
and July $1.15A@1 .151a. Corn lost sc to
&c, oats &c to Nc, and provisions &c to
&c.
Sharp advances took place in the wheat
market during the first part of the day,
hut were practically wiped out in the
Ia ter trading. The eastern buying. which
carried values upward, was ascribed for
the most part to a prominent Spectator,
who apparently had been short, and whd
had changed his position on the market.
Meagerness of the visible supply total
the upturn in values. Subsequent heavy
selling was ascribed more or less to
profit-taking and to a setback in the
price of May delivery at Winnipeg
where there was said to be free country
selling. Giving out of support in the
corn market here counted also as a
bearish factor in the wheat market to-
| ward the last. Weakness which devel-
| oped in prices for corn and oats seemed
4 to be due to enlarged rural offerings OF
corn, the result of the fact that corn
planting is nearing completion. In
| creased supplies of lard here had bear
ish effect on provisions.
