COTTON SCARS AS

 CUTTING OUTLOOK
General Staple Market Closed Strong at a Net Advance of Sixty-three to Nine-
 ty-one Points
By Associated Press

New York, May 2.-After two or three months of comparatively quiet trading and irregular fluctuations, the cotton market became almost seu- sationally active and strong today. Reports of continued rain and un- favorable crop advices from the southwest, appeared to inspire a gen. era1 demand, according to local brokers, and May contracts sold up to 19.70c. or 101 points net higher. New crop positions also showed big advances, with October selling at 1s.05c compared with 1s.2sc at the close of yesterday, and the general market closed strong at net advances of 63 to 91 points.
 The market opened firm at de- cline of 5 points on November but generally 10 to IT points higher on firm Liverpool cables, more favor able view of European politics en- couraged by advices from both Genoa and Dublin, and the reports of unset tied weather in the south. There were 55 May notices reported in the street, which caused some scattering liquidation of the near month, and there was considerable realizing In later deliveries. but the offerings were taken with apparent readiness, with the market showing increasing activity and strength after the pub lcation of the forecast for further showers or local rains In the belt.
 Profit taking caused reactions of 15 or 20 points early in the afternoon but the market firmed up again. reaching the highest prices of the day In the late trading when July sold at 1S90c and December at 19.07c, and the general list showed net gain of 72 to 101 points, or $3.60 to $5.05 per bale as compared with yester- days closing quotations.
 Last prices were a shade off from the best under realizing. Wall street and western interests were spoken of as among the more active buyers during the day. but there was also an active general commission house de- mand and heavy covering by shorts. Offerings of May were very light after the first half hour and there were reports of a more active spot demand in the south.

AVERAGE PRICE OF WHEAT HIGHER
 IN CH|CAGOP|T
Corn Was Off a Fraction, While Oats Were a Shade Higher-ProvisionsVa-
 ried Up and Down
By Associated Press

Chicago, May 2.-wheat averaged higher in price today owing to per- sistent buying of May delivery, al- though such buying was confined all most altogether to a single house. The market closed unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to 2Ac higher, with May SLABS to s1.4S% and July $1,2Sss to $1,2S1s. Corn closed bc off to a shade advance, oats up Ac to ssc to 15c and provis- ions varying from 5c decline to 7c ad- vance.
 The house which did the bulk of the buying of May wheat was simul- taneously engaged in selling J uly This action caused the price differ ence between the two months to widen about 1ac a bushel as com pared with yesterday. Persons who professed to know said that most of the shorts in May were prepared to deliver cash wheat on May contracts when the time arrived and that the only other important short interest was on the part of the millers who had their wheat stocks hedged. Re- ceipts of wheat in Chicago today were liberal, 225 car loads, and there wore fresh deliveries of 15O.000 bushels on May contracts. No an nouncement was made as to how such deliveries would be disposed of. Shortage of vessels here is factor. No returning westward light from eastern ports are getting better rates at Lake Superior terminals than at Chicago.
 Corn and oats advanced with wheat but during the later dealings some thing of setback in corn prices took place. domestic shipping demand for corn being light and export bids out of line.
 Good cash demand for meats rallied the provision market from an early decline due to lower quotations on hogs.
