EVENING UP FOR WEEKEND CAUSED
 DROP IN WHEAT
Corn Was Up, While Oats Went Off For a Fraction, With Provisions Rang-
 ing Up and Down
By Associated Pneea

Chicago. May 2O.-Evening up for the weekend caused wheat prices here to break sharply during the last hour of trading today. the May delivery leading the decline, al- though reports from the southwest telling of unfavorable conditions for the new crop gave the market a rather bullish construction In the early dealings. The finish was unsettled. with values showing a net loss of as to 4%c. May 1854 to 1.ssc and July 12s% to 1.2s%c. Corn was up # to &c and oats ranged from A lower to %c higher. Pro- visions ranged from 5c lower to soc advance.
 The wheat market showed fair strength in the early trading with commission houses and shorts on the buying side of the deferred deliveries, which ovraged slightly higher, de- spite a break in values at Liverpool. The May delivery was under pressure from scattered longs and averaged lower the best support coming from a local elevator interest which also was the best buyer yesterday The action of May continued to be the dominating influence, other factors being almost entirely ignored.
 The report from the southwest told of the deterioration in the condition of the crop as the harvest approach es. it being said that rain was needed in some sections which have had insufficient rainfall In the past six weeks. This report was largely responsible for the early firm un- dertone of the market. Receipts of wheat were 225 cars, and deliveries on May contracts this morning were 510,000 bushels.
 Corn and oats, while acting rather firm early. reached from the high point in sympathy with wheat, but there was no material pressure and the selling was mainly of a local character until near the close, when export interests became heavy buy CTS of July corn.
 Provisions averaged lower with a rather light trade. 1t took lut little selling to make the lower range de- spite the strength in hogs.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 By Associated Presa


 New Orleans, May 2o.-Active trading and rather sharp fluctua- tions within narrow limits featured the trading in cotton today. Liqui- dation from the long side, typical of the weekend following a week of bullish sentiment was much In evidence and the main depressing in- fluenee but continued good spot demand was a support of importance and. In addition to this. there was private bureau report. placing tho condition of the crop at 73.8 per cent of normal and the increase in acreage at only per cent. The cir culation of these figures caused the sharpest upturn of the day but H. quidation soon filled up the demand and on the close prices were 12 to 13 points net lower, July closing at 19.79c.
 In the early trading prices were l to points up on claims that large sales were made on the spot after hours in this market yesterday and on telegrams from Texas spot mar kets that while the demand was good factors and spot firms were unable to meet 1t because of their small sup plies. Liquidation met the advance and selling increased after the post ing of the weather map indicating very little rain over the greater part os the cotton region. A sharp break to levels 22 to 26 points under yes- terdays close resulted. carrying July off to 1870. Recoveries of about IS points followed the private, bureau figures but the upward movement waS not prolonged

Hesitation in Stock
 Market Has Lifted
 As Business Resumes
BrAsaocIated Prerp

New York. May 2o.-After a fort night of hesitation in which no small part of the March-Apr1 rise was cancelled. the stock market moved forward again this week, es- tablishing new high prices for number of the more prominent issues. The rebound had it's inception in the bread demand for coppers. steels and some of the leading commodity shares It gathered greater momen- tum when money rates eased to low est levels in practically five years.
 Prior to this development, specu- lative imagination had been fired by indications and reports which strengthened the belief that con- structive projects were underway ID tke various branches of commerce and industry.
 Signs pointed to mergers of im- portant interests in the steel and iron industry, the metal producing and refining trade and in other lines of business where economic conditions since the close of the World war seemed to make such combinations advisable if not imperative.
 Other bullish factors included the higher prices quoted for pig iron, finished steel and iron. coppers and kindred productions, together with the stronger tone of raw and refined sugar markets and allied food spe- cialties.
 Rails were the only prominent group In which constructive forces seemed lacking. Although coalers again ignored the miners strike, dis playing especial strength, trading in transportations continued to be re- strained by reduced car loading and likelihood of lower freight rates.
 Partial reasons for the cheaper money quotations were found in the latest report of the federal reserve board. This disclosed the significant fact that reserves had increased in such states as Georgia and Texas. inn plying pronounced liquidation of frozen credits. On the other hand, industrial and commercial centers in the middle west and southwest re- ported 2 contraction of reserves.
 The net result of the federal re- serve showing as viewed by observers of domestic conditions indicated that general business Aas not progressed uniformly of recent weeks. Grains In merchandising sections of the country are far less than those reported from centers of essential industrial pro- duction.
 The outcome of the Genoa oc- casioned little surprise In higher fi- nancial circles. French and Italian exchanges. especially the latter, were heavy to weak as were those of the central European nations, but their rates rose to levels where they ex- ceeded by small fraction their pre- vlous maximums of the past three years.

Steel Continued
 ActiUe and Strong
 During Past Week
By Associated Prs.s

New York, May 20.-The steel mar ket has continued active and strong with prices advancing on the basis of increased cost of production, due to the rise in fuel and basic ma terials. Producers are not keepfnK up with their orders which are &C., cumulatinE. Demand Is quite renAraI and included foreign orders for rails Pig iron is strong and advancing on the increased cost of fuel and an active demand, despite large foreign offers.
 Copper has shown continued firm ness. with little or no electrolytic now reported available below the l4hc level, most of the producers asking that figure for both June and third quarter delivery, The demand for domestic consumption has been less active. following large purchases earlier in the month, although very fair amount of business is still being placed for June and July shipmenf Export sales the past few days have been largely for shipment to France. Further sales of casting have been reported to China.
 Tin showed firmness owing to sharp advances in London and the strength of other metals. Visible and. invisible supplies are large, however. F'urtner advances have occurred in iead, and the west reports an active demand. Supplies here are curtatled oy the Perth Amboy strike.
 Dinc has been decidedly firm owing to light offerings from smelters with demand mostly for early shipment. Galvanizers have been bought in moderate quantities.
 Antimony quiet. with some shading or prices to encourage business.

Cotton Goods Haue Ruled Strong Past
 Week in New York
Rx A..oointed Prose

New York, May 20.-Cotton goods markets have ruled strong through out the week and buying in small lots has shown more breadth than at any other period of the year. Mum bers of small manufacturers and con- verters using gray cloths as their raw material have made engagements for nearby and future delivery. There has been more business done in old constructions of print cloths, sheetings and fine combed yarn goods and in drills and specialtles for con version.
 Prices are higher although not yet in keeping with the cotton rise If the past couple of weeks. Mills hay ing sold accumulations of stock goods at low prices are now firmer in asking cost for contracts. New prices for fall named on percales and prints have induced the placing of a moderate volume of business. but the maintenance of old price levels sho gs tkat buyers are not yet ready to pay advances freely on finished fabrics. The jobbers are now doing better volume of spot wash goods business.
 There has been sharp renewal of interest in fall mapped cottons. Bleached cottons are quiet. Strikes continue without material change in the New England district and have cut off a supply of 100000 ,00o yards of standard staple cloths from the markets this far.
 The cotton yarn markets are firmer and higher More business is offering In staple lines of seasonabie underwear and hosiery. Current prices In primary channels are as follows:
 Print cloths 2S-inch 64x64s. GAG, 64x6os. 6ssc; 3Sz inch 64x64s; Shc; brown sheetings, southern standards. 11%c; ticking. S-ounces, Pic; denslns, 2.2os, indigo, 16hc; prime, 1oAc; staple ginghams. 16hc; dress ging- hams 90c and 22ihc

 BASED UP UNDER
 NEW LIQUIDATION
General Cotton List Closed Easy, Net Unchanged to Thirty Points Lower in
 the Final Hour
Bx A.,oc;atea Pv...

New York, May 2u-The cotton market was easier today under scat tering liquidation for over the week end and local selling on better weather reports or talk of better end : May condition figures than expected October contracts sold off from 19.sSc to 1e.T6c. closing at 1s.77c, with the general market closing easy, net un- changed to 30 points lower. May was relatively quiet and steady, being net unchanged at the close
 The market opened barely steady at decline of to IF points under re- newed realizing or liquidation. Ot- ferings were pretty well taken around the initial figures by coverir T and trade buying, with prices show ing rallies before the end of the first hour, which carried July up to 20.17c and December to 19.93c, or back to about yesterdays closing quotations. Favorable weekend re- views of the goods trade and bullish Manchester advices evidently helped the tone of the market and while traders were favorably impressed hy the weather map. there may have been some buying on private re- ports that conditions were still un- settled in the southwest
 Offerings increased on the ad vance, however, and the mark .t turned easier following rumors that preliminary returns to a southern authority pointed to a crop condition of 7SS or within few points of the 10-year average. This led to n creased liquidation or scatteri lg pressure. which sent July contracts off to 1s.s7c and December to 1s.7Tc. or about 20 to S3 points net lower. May sold off to 20.soc. but quickly recovered when a little buying de- veloped toward the close Other months closed within a point or two of the lowest. Local brokers who have been talking an end May con dition of below 70, were said to be selling late in the morning.
 Manchester cables stated that mo re looms were now running in Ian cashire than at any time for is months and that all machinery there were expected to become active with in the next five or six weeks If the present buying continued. Fall Rivar sales of cloths for the week were estimated at 175,000 pieces and cur tailment of mill production at 75,OOo.

WEEKEND SESSION OF STOCK MARKET HAS UPWARD TREND
Clearing House Statement Re- fIected Revival of Activity in the New York Stock
 Market Saturday
By Associated Press

New York. May 20.--The weekend session of the stock market wit messed a continuance of the recent active upward trend, with rails. oils and sugars as the most conspicuous features.
 Gains of to points among coal CTS, notably Delaware. Lackawanna and Western, Reading, anC Erie, were supplemented by the strength Of Canadian Pacific, St. Paul com monsa and preferred. Rock Island and Newi Haven. the latter rising to its bestsmark in two years at S5A. Coppers lost some of their recent prominence and another hitch in the proposed merger of the independent steel companies caused unsettlement among those issues. Republic Iron forfeited the better part of the pre- vfous ,Sfay's gain. and vanadian dis played moderate heaviness. but U. s. Steel exceeded the high record of recent years, made during yester- days large turnover.
 Mexican Perkoleum led the oils, General Ashphalt, Producers and Re- fipers, Standard Oil of California, Sinclair and Texas Gulf Sulphur also making substantial contributions to the buying of those stocks.
 General Motors again dominate the rootox division on further extensive absorption and rubber subsidiaries responded to trade reports of an in- creased demand for automobile ac- cessories. but sugars eased rom their best on profit taking.
 The clearing house statement re- frected revival in activity in the stock market, actual loans and dis counts increasing by about $s7,bOo'- GOO and expanding that account to the largest total of the year.

Looks Like Break
 New Steel Merge,
By Associated Press

New York. May 2o.-Abandon- ment of the proposed merger of independent steel companies was generally forecast today ms a re- suit of the withdrawal of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube com pany from the six company com- bine. J. A. Campbell, president of Youngstown, previously had been agreed on as head of the propos- ed merger, serving as chairman of the board of directors and chairman of the executive conn mittee.
 Executives of the remaining five compnnies-Nfidval Steel and Ordnance, Republic Iron and Steel, Inland Steel, Steel and Tube of America. and Brfer Hill steel--are expected to confer to- day with MT. Chadbourne and representatives of Kdhn, Loeb & Co.,, bankers, to decide upon a course of action.
 Latest developments in the merger situation have resulted in a flood of rumors concerning possible new combinations.
