EXTREME DECLINE
 SHOWN IN EVERY
 BRANCH OF STOCKS
Money Market Held to Recent Course, Call Loans Being Made During Session
 at 3 1-2 Per Cent
By Associated Press

New York. April 27.-Recent re- actionary tendencies on the stock exchange became more accentualed today. Virtually every branch of the list figured in the extreme declines of one to points on dealings approx tmating 1,450,000 shares.
 The coal strike. which affected a further decrease of car loadings, per sistent reports of freight rate reduc- tions by the interstate commerce commission and the less favorable aspects in the international situation were among the days restraining in- fiuence. Railroad earnings were favorable, however both Norfolk and Western and Atchison showing large March gains.
 Despite the substantial revival of activity in the steel and iron trade, gossip in trading circles dealt with the dividend status of various promi- nent companies in that line of in- dustry.
 Most of the steels and equipments were under pressure, as were also utilities, tobaccos, food specialties and numerous uncleassified issues Domestic oils were comparatively steady, but Mexicans and kindred shares sustained additional losses.
 Announcement of the retention of the regular dividend on Bethlehem Steel common shares, made just be- fore the markets close. helped to bring about partial rally from low est quotations. Net declines among leaders were limited a point, stude- baker losing 1A.
 Among rails the only exceptions to the setback were Lake Erie and Western preferred and Chicago and Eastern Illinois new common and preferred, these finishing at advances of to 4h points. Lake Eries ex- treme rise of points was accom- panied by reports that new interests were seeking control from the New York Central.
 The money market held to it's re- cent course, call loans being made throughout the session at 3h her cent. Time funds were more p1enti- ful, but unchanged as to rates for either the short or long maturities.
 Further buying of sterling cotton bills sustained the London quotation in the local foreign exchange mar ket, but continental Eates were irreg ular- Francs eased slightly, Belgium and Italian remittances hardened German marks were firm ana inc Dutch quotations also were higher Other so-called neutrals showed no material alteration.

 In contrast to the recent private estimate for an increase of 19 per cent in this years cotton acreage re- turns to the Giles bureau indicate an increase of only 6 per cent, state that the crop has late start, with only 35 per cent planted against a normal of 50 per cent and that much bottom lands are inundated.-H. & B.

Irregularity Is
 Shown in Bonds
By Associated Press

New York, April 27.-Technical conditions accounted mainly for the further irregularity shown by to- days bond market. the recent upward movement of prices halting as new issues were being distributed among investors.
 Dealings in liberties were large but offerings exceeded the demand, prac- tically the entire series closing at nominal declines. French govern ments and munieipals were heavies of the foreign group, There was no disposition to associate their rela- lively moderate reaction with devel- opments in the international situa- tion. Mexican and Brazilian issues also eased, the latter probably being influenced by delay in the placing of a new loan here.
 Coalers and underlying issues of the western and southwestern roads forfeited large fractions to # points and profit taking contributed to the uneven tone of local utilities. but the market in general lost little of it's powers of absorption.

OUer Priuate Wires
HuBBARD's LETTER

New York City. April 27.-(Spe- cial.)-Extremely heavy rains again fell over central Texas and extended into the Mississippi valley. While these rains will unquestionably de- lay the planting of the new crop, nevertheless. there Is general feel ing of pessimism in the. south, which i5 principally based on slow move : ment of spot cotton. In other words the market neglects the immediate weather conditions and Is controlled by the immediate spot cotton situ- ation. Many feel that after this rainy spell, the weather will clear up and we must expect the usual spring decline. The secret of the whole situation lies in the spot cot ton on basis in the south Any inn provement in this direction would immediately be reflected in better market and especially if the weather continues unfavorable. - Hubbard Bros. & Go.

roles with which all Hart fans arc
familiar.
As might well be imagined Hart is
a great admirer of tho vigorous. virilc
type OF man. 1t is said that one of his
most fcrvcut desires is TO help TO train
young men to grow up strong of body
as well as keen of intellect.
