BEARS HOLD WHIP
 HAND |NLASTPART
 OF GRAIN SESSION
Close Unsettled at Net Decline in Wheat, While Corn and Oats Were Governed
 Mostly by Wheat
By Associated Press

Chicago, April 4.--Although not on account of any aggressive selling. wheat averaged higher in price to- day, word that shipments from Mis- souri for delivery on May contracts here were impending had a bearish effect during the last part of the board of trade session. The close was unsettled at 1 1s cents net decline to Is cent advance with May, $1.32b to s1.s2A and July. s11S1s to s1.1SSa. Corn finished a shade to B off; oats oats unchanged to lsc lower and pro- visions unchanged to a rise of 30 cents.
 Announcement that 100000 bushels of No. ? hard winter wheat at St. Joseph, Mo-, had been bought to be put into storage in Chicago had much to do with lessening the confidence of wheat bulls near the end of the day and with narrowing the premium for May delivery as compared with July. Slowness of export demand to- gether with talk of improved crop conditions southwest tended also to handicap bulls during the late deal ings.
 An advance of Is in Argentine ax- port duties for April was a factor early in discouraging would-be spec ulative sellers of wheat and in stim- ulating hopes among other traders that some enlargement of export business from the United States. would develop. Unsteady, however, European demand appeared to be confined mainly to distant deliveries of wheat from Canada
 Prices for corn and oats were chiefly governed by the action of the wheat market. Wet weather though. and export inquiries for corn helped somewhat to upheld values.
 Provisions for the most mart were higher in price owing to an upturn in the hog market

Ouer Priuate Wires
F. J. LINNELL & CO.'S LETTER

New Orleans. April Especially J. Climatic political and labor develop ments were bullish today, influencing a sharp advance in the cotton mar ket. Torrential rains occurred in Texas, heavy rains in Oklahoma, with indications of moving into the central belt by tomorrow perhaps into the South Atlantic section by Thursday.
 Texas had been water soaked all ready and streams were swollen as result of the recent almost inces- sant rains. Advices today are to the effect that streams are overflowing and inundating low lands in the diff ferent valleys. of which there are so many in Texas.
 The victory won by Lloyd George in the House of Commons last night was hailed with favor throughout with industrial and financial world.
 Salient features of the premier's speech were: "The first was that Europe could not be rescued from chaos until. peace and cooperation with Russia have been restored. The second that the reparations owed by Germany must be collected, but if the allies insist at the present time upon payments beyond the power of Md country, It WOulu precipitate a crisis which by no means would be confined to Ger many"
 Press advices are to the effect that there is some indication of an early settlement of the coal miners strike since it is reported that the operators have offered peace terms. In connec- ton with the coal strike situation, Washington. states that plan for an early ending of the trouble may be proposed within the next few days by the House labor committee.
 The trade has been disposed to an ticipate favorable weekly weather and crop government report tomorrw mainly because of the drouth having been broken in west Texas. but is likely that rains and floods in other. parts of the state and belt delayed farm work to such an extent as to warrant complaint from the in- terior.-H. and B. Beer.

QUOTED VALUES

Neither Money Nor Foreign Exchange Figured to any Extent in Days Opera
 tionS on Wan Street
Nv Associated Press

New York, April 4-Business on the stock exchange today was on the largest, if not the most comprehen- sive scale of any session since De- cember 20, 1920, total sales amount ing to 1875 900 shares.
 The greater part of this activity was at the expense of quoted values. however, a number of favorites in the industrial and miscellaneous groups reacting l to points, while a few specialties displayed greater heaviness
 In the early movement when price tendencies among leaders were again upward between 80 and 40 issues. including U s. Steel, Studebaker and some of the oils were at new high records for a year or more.
 Much of the forenoon's demand was ascribed to pools, but the continued activity of commission or wire houses gave a color to the belief that public participation was taking on greater proportions.
 One of the diverting features of the day was the reaction of 5a points at mid-d day by Studebaker, the recent outstanding issue. Studebaker made partial recovery, closing at a net loss of 21a points.
 A majority of the steels, equip ments, rubbers and oils finished at losses of fractions to 1 F points, but shippings, sugar and chemicals, mo- t9bly Davison, were firm to strong. Rails were apathetic throughout, many of the investment divisions holding within fractional bounds.
 Neither money nor foreign ex- change figured to any extent in the days operations. Call loans opened and held at Az per cent until the final half hour, when a rate of 3 per cent was posted. Time money remained at 4l2 to AZ per cent, ac- cording to the length of maturity, but offerings were light.
 Dealing in International remit tances expanded from yesterdays nominal operations and firmness was shown by practically all bills ex- cepting German and Spanish rates. Sterling rose to within a fraction of 44O, all allied quotations were slightly higher and Dutch and Scan- dinavian bills added to yesterdays gains.

Wall Street Makes New High Record
 For Present Year
By Assoeiated Press

New York, April 4.-Operations on the stock market exchange today established new high record for the year. The turn over of about 1,375,O0O shares was unequaIIed since December 20, 1920, but the advance of the forenoon met with considerable cashing of profits, lower prices prevailing at the close.
 On the early rise of to points many stocks attained to highest levels for n year or more. among others United States steel, once the markets acknowI- edged leader.
 The advance came to sudden halt nt midday when StudebaIxer. the recent favorite, made an nb- rupt decline of 5A points on what seemed like urgent Iiquida- ton and from which it recovered only partly.
 Studebaker's reversal. for which no reason other than technical was offered, encouraged a general extension of bearish commitments. losses predominant Ing among the prominent issues at the feverish close.
 The bond market was more stable under guidance of Liberty issues, these contributing main- ly to the extensive dealings at new maximums for the 31ks and several of the 4As. Foreign bonds were irregular hut British issues were sustained by the strength of sterling exchange.
 Mexican government bonds for feited more of their recent gains, speculative selIings. presumably for profits. following the news that officials of that country are arranging for the refunding or readjustment of its external Ob- igatiOns. Mexican As dropped 3% points. or an extreme of & points from yesterdays best price and the 5s fell 2 points with an extreme loss of 4 points from the recent maximum.

M ARKED ACTIVITY SHOWN IN COTTON MARKET YESTERDAY
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of Fifteen to TWenty-seven Points
 on the Day
By Associated Press

New York, April 4.-The cotton market showed increased activity and considerable strength today. with new crop months making new high ground for the movement on reports of very heavy rains in the western belt and increasing apprehension of serious overflow. October contracts sold up to 17 33c. making a net ad- vance of S9 points, the highest price touched since the break of last Jan- uary, when they sold at 15.O O7c. Oc- tober closed at IT. 21c, with the gem eral market closing steady at a net advance of 15 to 27 points.
 Liverpool was barely steady be- before the local opening, but the start here was steady at an advance of to points, and the market soon did better on the Texas rain news, a more favorable view of British poli- tics and more optimistic feeling as to the possibility of constructive de- velopments of the Genoa conference.
 Both Liverpool and New Orleans bought here, while there was active covering by local and Wall street shorts which was probably promot- ed by reports of firmness in the stock market and foreign exchange rates. Little or nothing more was heard of the freer southern spot of ferings reported yesterday while there were comparatively few selling orders from the belt and the May premium was we'll maintained, al- though there were reiterated reports of cotton coming here for delivery. The volume of business tapered off after advance of about 20 or 30 points, but offerings were small, and the best levels of the day were reached during the afternoon when July sold at IT, 36c and December IT. 27c. or about 24 to 39 points net higher on the general list. Real points from the best at the close. The detailed weather reports showed heavy general precipitation in Texas and Oklahoma, and private advices received here during the day report
 ed overflows in various sections. Some of the older cotton men here thought the rains would prove bene- fieial in many places, but the un- favorable view of the weather map evidently dominated the days mar ket. Exports today were 37,414 bales, making 4,266,297 so far this season Port receipts. 26,026. United States port stocks, 1,054,92f.

HUBBARD,s LETTER

New York, April Special, )- Liverpool came as due. easing off trifle on the close, but having little effect on our market. The trade here showed considerable worry over the weather situation. with seven inches of rain reported and still raining, which predicted much damage to the crops. The entire market was cen tered around the weather conditions. keeping the market strong all day, inducing fresh buying and renewed short covering.
 The Houston weather bureau re- ported the wettest March on record with precipitation amounting to 10.52 for that month. In addition to these bullish weather reports, Worth street reports growing demand for cloths, with a possibility of some scarcity in summer deliveries. We anticipate higher prices.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.
