COTTON TRADING IS
QUIET AS COMPARED
TO EARLIER IN WEEK
Steady Demand for July
Occurs Toward Close
of Session.
Copyright. by The san Antonio Light.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, April 7.-Trading in
cotton today quoted down to a pro
nounced degree when compared with
the volume fbusiness earlier in the
week. With Liverpool closed, there
seemed TO be less disposition to under
take new obligations for the mo-
ment.
Enough routing buying occurred, as
hedges were removed, from May and
July 10 absorb all contracts for sale
and after opening about unchanged,
July improved 20 points the first hour:
Sale of a 900 block of July failed
to attract additional selling and scat
tered demand steadied all positions.
The way May held nearly 90 points
over July in early trading, encour-
aged room support so that the market
displayed decided resistance. Late
months moved higher in sympathy
with the upturn in the old crop posi-
tions. though weather proved the most
favorable Of the week. The feature
today in both crops seemed to be the
absence Of selling pressure.
Asteady demand for July occur
red in late trading, resulting in an
advance of a quarter of cent. The
close was Z TO "A points higher.
With the first notice day on May
coming April 20, there is more or
less liquidation in that position going
on as speculative holders terminate
their interests. For over six months
there has been the most active speeu-
lation going on in cotton known in
great many years and outside atten-
ton has been largely centered in May.
July has always been considered less
certain position than May, owing to
new crop influences coming into play
later on in the season.
The time is now rapidly approach
ing when these holders will be con-
fronted with the alternative of taking
up and paying for whatever cotton
might be rendered on notice day or
liquidation obefore that time.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

In none Of the markets today was
the short business session of very
much Importance.
A few industrial specialties were
bid up again on the stock exchange
and the pressure against the rails
noted in the early part of the week
was removed, but in the main body
of stocks, there was little disposition
to do anything fresh one way or the
other.
Possibly the suggestion in the week
end trade reviews that the recent rise
in prices in some lines had been too
rapid and was leading to some cur
tailment in demand, had jome effect
upon sentiment. From a. other point
of view, however, il is decidedly
good thing, even at the expense Of
some temporary falling off in the
business volume, to put a check upon
a price movement which is in danger
Of being carried to excess.
The foreign exchanges varied only
slightly from the Friday final. Marks
we're off trifle, but this could scarce
~ have been q response TO the latest
Reichbank statement covering the last
week in March, which showed another
jump of 10000. 000, 900 marks in note
circulation. The outstanding paper
currency is now well above the five
trillion level whereas at the outset
of the year it Tad just passed the one
trillion level. Despite the fact that
the volume of paper notes is nearly
five times what Il was four months
ago. the value of the mark is well up
from the low Of the rear.

TRADING ON STOCK
EXCHANGE is QUIET;
CLOSE IS IRREGULAR
Shcrt Session Results in
MIXTURE of Small Gains
and Losses. !,
BY STUART p. WEST

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
New York, April Trading on The
stock exchange today was quiet and
resulted in only slight price changes.
Realizing sales were going in some
directions at the same time that pools
we're dealing in a dozen or special
issues. The result was a mixture Of
small gains and losses without any
general tendency one way or the
other.
Such leaders at q. s. Steel COM
mon, Baldwin Locomotive and Stude-
baker were as near stationary as such
speculative issues can ever be.
Some of the rails did better, gain
ing half point or so. This how
ever, was a very faint recognition Of
the publicity given to the .reoara-
tons for q record-breaking traffic
volume in months to come.
Stocks Of the shipping companies
were rather weak, showing that the
recent rise had been due more to the
running in of short interest than
to the slight change for the better
interest earnings.
The market closed irregular, but in
the main steady with net advances
and declines about evenly divided.

Good Buying Results From
Short Covering by Com
mission Houses.

Chicago. April Wheat was
strong again today and the new crop
months were advanced to highest

good general commission house de-
mand in evidence and much of It was
credited to short account. Eastern
longs sold on the advance. There
was nothing new in the situation.
Crop news continue of a discouraging
character and this is due largely to
the unseasonably cold weather. Ma
tional Grainer Dealers Association re-
vised their winter wheat crop esti-
mate downward, making figures COL

range from 560,000,000 to COL 900 900

but in the late trade locals did the
greater part of the trading. Cash
houses changed hedges from May to
July early at 2 ga cents difference.
Canadian exporters were again after
corn but offers were hard to secure.
Sales of 100000 bushels of contract
corn were reported TO go to store.

to do. Small lots sold about steady,
but no good steers were offered. The
total supply of cattle for the week
showed al increase of about 60OO over
last weeks runs. Values were far
lower from the start, but they showed
strength later, and good steers closed

grades were somewhat lower. Cows
and heifers held steady while calves
were up about 81. Bologna bulls
dropped Is to S25 cents during the
week.
