COTTON RECEIVERS:
DUE TO REPORTS
OF COLD In BELT

NEW YORK. May 9.-There were
further recoveries in the cotton mar
<et today owing to reports of I'M
seasonably low temperatures in the
south, talk of better demand for
cotton goods, and claims of a firmer
spot situation. The buying was not
active or general. but in addition to
scattered covering a moderate trade
demand was reported on the advance
which carried July contracts up to
25.40c, or II points net higher, and
l55 points above the low price
touched on the break of Yesterday
morning. That month closed at
2517c. with the general market
closing barely steady at net adj
vances of "a to 50 points on the old
crop and of 10 to 10 points on the
new.
The market opened steady at
decline of 10 points on May, but gen.
orally to IL points higher. The
light offerings of May were quickly
absorbed, with the market paying
little or no attention to disappoint-
ing cables, and after some irregu-
larity prices advanced on private re-
ports of cold weather. in the south.
The demand became more active
after the publication of a less favor
able weekly report from the weather
bureau than expected. This empha-
sized low temperatures in the belt
as check to early growth and the
buying was further prompted by the
detailed weather reports showing
minimum temperatures of As degrees
or under at nearly 100 stations In
the belt. with frost in some of the
northwestern sections. May advanced
from 2o.7Oc to 26.52c, with old crop
months showing net gains of Y to
II points during the middle OF the
afternoon, while October sold up to
23.50c. making net advances of % to
SO points on new crop positions and
recoveries of 81 to 1871 points from
the recent levels. Reports that the
rallies in raw cotton had brought
buyers into the cotton goods market
were in circulation on the advance
and there were also reports that
Japanese interests had been good
buyers of both spots and futures
The close was a few points off from
the best under realizing. No exports
were reported today. Exports so far
this season. 4.305,634. Port receipts,
5,275. U. S. port stocks, 422,s5S.

COLD WEATHER
CAUSES MODERATE
UPTURN IN WHEAT

CHICAGO, May s.-Moderate up
turns in the price of wheat resulted
today from buying based more or
less on opinions that frost and low
temperatures were likely to have an
unfavorable effect on winter wheat
market closed firm, &c to ~ net
higher, with July $1.17Ts to s1.1S
and September s1.16h. Corn finished
CSC to n C up. oats gained % to u C
and provisions 15@22@25c.
1t was a generally accepted view
that although the cold wave would
be without any immediate serious
consequence as to winter wheat, the
ultimate probable effect would be to
a considerable extent adverse be-
cause of delay to plant progress. The
significant fact in this connection
according to a statement issued by a
leading expert. was that the winter
crop is already late, and especially
in the Ohio valley is lacking in vi
tally Further interference with
spring wheat was also held to be
serious and 1t was said the germi-
nation of a large percentage that is
seeded but Is still unsprouted would
likewise be hindered.
Evidence that wheat bulls had re-
gained some confidence was particu-
larly noticeable near the end of the
day. Bearish aspects of the govern
ment crop report tended to check
buying at the outset but were later
almost lost sight of. On the other
hand charting of vessel room for the
shipment of cargo of wheat from
here to Buffalo counted as some
thing of a stimulus and so. too, did
gossip that virtually all the wheat
in Omaha had been acquired for ex-
port.
Continued liberal shipme nts of corn
out of Chicago gave Independent
strength to corn and oats.
Notwithstanding that today's hog
market was at about the lowestprice
level for the season, demand for pro-
visions was good and the provision
market went higher with grain.
