Reactions FOLLOWED

NEW YORK, April 7.-Sharp reactions

Surplus Supply Puts
Butter Market Down

CHICAGO, April unexpected surplus
caused the weeks butter marekt to be-
come weak. after opening on Monday uni
formly firm. on Tuesday surplus stocks,
particularly OF fancy butter, appeared on
all markets, and the buying demand
dropped sharply, the tone became weak
and continued until Sunday. Foreign but
ter was largely responsible for the excess
sive supplies and sensitive condition. New
Zealand butter was in competition with
domestic stocks at New York and PhiIa-
delphia' and ii was necessary for the latter
market to divert some Of its domestic re-
ceipts to other centers. In that way all
markets had heavier load to carry.
Western butter formed no small part of
the receipts at the four leading butter
markets, and being of fancy quality, sold
quite readily at only small concessions
under the corresponding scores of regular
receipts. Uncertainty regarding the auan-
tity of the western butter which might be
expected, and the possibility of further i'm
ports were important factors in keeping
also weak

Cotton Goods Market
Steadier During Week

NEW YORK. April Cotton goods
markets have been steader this week in
the gray goods division, but trade Is
somewhat slow. One of the large automo-
bile manufacturers has bought 5000 600
yards of wide goods for rubberizing for de-
livery in July, August and September, and
this has been strengthening factor.
Other buyers are hesitating about going
into those months for contract deliveries
until raw cotton is more stable. Wide
sh etings advanced &c a yard to n
basis of zee for 1914 bleached goods, and
sheets and pillow cases were advanced in
the same ratio. Other finished goods ad-
vances are contemplated to compensate
for the general rise in wages of from 10
to 12ia per cent. Wash fabrics continued
IN demand with printed goods and ging
hams leading. Bleached cottons have
ruled quiet. Deliveries on past orders are
very full, and production Is at capacity
levels. Yarns have been fairly steady but
not active. Knit goods are firmer and
higher prices are being paid for addi-
tional deliveries of summer and fall goods.
Cutters are receiving many recorders but
