COTTON |S HIGHER THROUGHOUT WEEK ON CROP REPORTS
Mainstay Of Advance Is Con- tinued Rain Over Large
 Area Of Belt

NEW ORLEANS, May 27-Prices weh Rh igher, almost from the opening. in the cotton market last week. Low est prices were reached on the opening session when the trading positions were to IS points under the level of the preceding weeks close; from this there was a rise of 1S1 to 221 points, which carried the market 172 to 20S points higher than the close of the preceding week. The close was a [ net gains on the week of l54 to 1S5 points. July after trading as high as 27 60c, closed a { 2737c; Octo- her, after trading as high as 24.t0c, closed at 24,l5c pound. In the spot department prices gained 175 points on middlng, which closed at 2S.00c against 20.50c on the close of this week last year.
 Tine mainstay of the advance was the unafavorable tone of crop reports, due to continued excessive rains over large areas of the central and east ern divisions of the cotton region and to too low temperatures in many northern sections. Much complaint of foul fields came from sections of the belt in the Mississippi Valley and to the eastward and similar com paints came from Arkansas. Texas sent in the most encouraging crop ac- counts of any state but even there some localities said that nights were too cool and others complained of the presence of the boil weevil.

 LONDON, May 27.-The conserva- ives, at party meeting Monday are expected unanimously to elect Stanley Baldwin as leader. The new premier will then make his debut in commons when 1t resumes after the whitsuntide recess.
 Baldwin will then face the severest test of his capabilities, for he not only must seek solution of the most difficult domestic and foreign af- fairs but both liberals and laborites will be unrelenting In their attacks on him.
 The feeling of sympathy for Bonar Law, which, as a result of his health. was sometimes evidenced towards the former premier, will now be absent Lloyd Georges announcement that in his attitude towards the new govern ment he will abandon the question of personal consideration he felt towards Bonar Law is a sign of the troubleous times facing Baldwin.
 The new premiers statement of his policies, as well as an insight into his methods of dealing with the op- position, are anXously awaited.

MOTOR INDUSTRY
 SHOWS NJ SIGNS IF A N N J AL SAC
Business So Enormous Manu- facturerS Fight To Keep
 Up With Demand

WASHINGTON, May 27-The thousands of automobiles and trucks leaving this city daily by rail and automobile industry is keeping up with the revival in nearly all other lines of business.
 With the demand for cars continu- ing far in excess of the output, manu factourerS are reSOrting to boat ship ments to get conSienmentS shipped and are concentrating on intensive ef- forts to speed up and increase pro- duction. Generally, however, they are making the economic mistake of fac tory expansion is gamble on busi- ness in the somewhat far distant fu- ture.
 But the business of the past two or three months has been so enor nous that manufacturers, fighting to get on even terms with the demand, believe it will continue so for seve- ral months to come.
 New Records Indicated.
 The year 1923, leaders of the in dustry believe, will result in several new records. and it is not unlikely that the annual seasonal decline may become lost in the rush this year. If it comes at all. 1t will come in June, whereas in past years it has materialzed considerably earlier Schedules thus far arranged for June Seem to take little cognizance of as sertions that this decline, which would be slight at any rate, is about due.
 Automobile manufacturers blame the automobile shortage on a short age of body production and body manufacturers blame their limita- tions to glass, The closed car demand has been so great that two new body concerns have been organized here this month They will produce closed car bodies exclusively. Meanwhile, there is promise of a third new con cern in the field within the fort night.
