United States Steel Went to Its Highest Quotations in
 Exactly Two Years in Day of Brisk Trading
Rx Associated Press

New York April 20.-Business on the stock exchange today began with many indications that the session would establish a record in activity and breadth for three years, but operations slackened visibly during the intermediate and final periods.
 Aside from United States Steel which rose to 10Oh. its highest quota tion in exactly two years, and the new maximums made by other lead CTS of the industrial and railway divl- sions, the session developed no spec tacular features.
 Extreme gains of one to points were scored by a number of shares, but these suffered partial or entire cancellation as the day progressed and the desire to take profits became more insistent.
 No restrictions 10 the markets up- ward course were interposed by monetary conditions. Further ease was evinced by local money rates and international currencies seemed in no serious degree disturbed by latest aspects Ol luS 1OHO% ence, including Russia's refusal to pay her war obligations.
 The firmness of coal shares was cited as evidence that the coal strike is becoming less of a market influ- encs. This was supplemented by ad- ! vices from centers of steel and iron production, mostly of an encourag- ing tenor.
 Among tho relatively few substan- 4ial net gains were American Loco- motive, Crucible Steel, Sears Roebuck. Montgomery Ward, Computing tabu- 1ating, Western Pacific preferred and market street railway prior preferred. U. S. Steel closed at a small loss and most of the oils were affected by heavy selling of Texas company and Mexican Petroleum.
 For the third successive day all call loans were placed at sh per cent. Time funds were plentiful and private loans on approved collateral were made for the shorter dates at 4h per cent, that same rate applying to ~good names" on commercial paper.
 Sterling's reaction to the foreign situation was a decline of $ of a cent, allied bills easing 3 to 5 points. Dutch and Scandinavian rates were firm to strong and central European quotations were not materially changed.

NEW YORK COTTON Ry Assoclated Press
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 By Associated Press 4

New Orleans, April 20.--An easy tone developed in cotton today the market feeling selling pressure in q moderate way, from the opening. Selling was due mainly to an un- favorable opinion of the news from the Genoa conference, although cos :. siderable selling was caused by weather conditions over the belt. At the lowest of the day, May traded at 1S.T1c. with the list at net losses of IS to 3l points; the close was at 16.7Sc for May and at net losses of Il to 25 points on rne list.
 The new crop months were easier than the old and discounts on tho new crops were established agatn. October trading down to l6.61c at its lowest. This was due to special sell Ing in which the market gossip said spot houses led.
 On the opening little attention was paid to Liverpool, which stood some- what better than due, and after a rise of couple of points on May offerings increased so that initial sales on later months were at the decline. The weather map was con sidered favorable because of the rains in the Atlantics and the dry weather elsewhere and tho favorable opinion of the weather grew stronger after the posting of the forecast of fair and warmer weather for the greater part of the cotton region. Low tenn peratures in many sections of tho belt caused some little comment, but they were not low enough to be a real support to the market.

 During Session
By Associated Press

Chicago, April 2e.-Uncertainty over developments at the Genoa eco. homie conference tended to make the wheat market here average lower in price today, especially as quota tions from Liverpool showed some thing of a setback. The closing in Chicago was unsettled to sc net de- cline to sc advance with May s1.43 to sf4ss and July s1.25ss to $l.25s,. Corn finished unchanged to AQ QAo off. Oats up shade to h@Ac and provisions unchanged to l5c higher
 Gossip that foreign buyers asatn were about to enter the wheat mar ket led to a moderate rally in prices here during the final dealings. but values otherwise throughout .he greater part of the day were in- .clined to sag and there was an ah- sence of any indication of aggressive demand. Besides the misgivings due to Genoa advices and to lower prices at Liverpool, a movement here 10 have grain in cars on track made available for regular delivery on con tracts the same as if the grain were in elevators was bearish factor. There were also continued sales of wheat to so to store here, although the amounts were relatively small as compared with the supposed big shortage required to fill May con tracts.
 Spreading operations ascrbed 10 northwestern interests attracted sotie attention in the wheat pit. The SrrAad consisted in the simultaneous buying of July delivery of wheat and the selling of September.
 Corn and oats prices held inside of narrow limits with trading chiefly of local character. Provisions were mostly 6 little higher in response to an carly upturn of hogs.

General Staple List Closed Barely Steady at a Net De- cline of Fourteen to
 TWenty-FouF Points
By Associated Press

New York, April 20-Reports of improving weather conditions in the south led to a good deal of realizing or scattering liquidation in the cotton market today, particularly in the new crop months. October contracts sold off to 17.26 or 27 points net lower. and closed at 1730 with the general market closing barely steady at a net decline of 14 to 24 points.
 The opening was steady at a de- cline of i to points on all months except June which was 22 points low or. There were bulses of few points right after the call on the firmer late cables from Liverpool and continued favorable reports from the cotton goods trade. They met increased offerings, however, owing to the improved weather map and the market soon turned easier on the forecasts for clearing weather with gradually rising temperatures. People who had bought on the rain news earlier in the week appeared to be liquidating their contracts and there was a good deal of scattered southern selling accompanied by.com- plaints of a poor demand and reiter- ated predictions that cotton would be shipped here for delivery next month.
 Spot house brokers were sellers of May at a premium of 40 points over July and also bought some July against sales of October. but the near month offerings were absorbed GOV sring of or buying against spinners calling, and were relatively steady during the day.
 Closing prices were within few points of the lowest. The decline car- ried July off to 17,s6 and December to 17.24, making reactions 40 to ee points from the recent high levels Private cables reported a less active spot demand in Liverpool and ouieter trade in Manchester. Detailed weather reports showed considerable rain in the eastern belt, but clearing wealth CT this morning and local brokers considered the better weather news as chiefly responsible for the dectine.
