NEW YORK. May 13.-Standard in
dustrial and railroad shares held rela-
lively firm in today's quiet market.
Bear traders succeeded in uncovering
a few weak spots. particularly in the
motor accessory, textile, rubber and
sugar issues, selling of which has been
inspired by unfaVorable trade reports.
Sales approximated 575 900 shares.
Mixed price movements marked the
opening with leading shares making
fractional recovery from yesterdays de-
cline. Further re cession, however,
took place in a number of the low
priced oil issues and some OF the spe-
cialities.
Resume Buying of High Grade Rails.
Early hesit2 tion soon was replaced
ny an upward swing, which was Civ
IN impetus by d resumption of buy
,ag of the high grade rails. particu-
jarly Atchison. Short covering was
instrumental in pushing UP American
Can, Baldwin and other conspicuously
weak features in yesterdays trading.
Numerous Specialties also worked
higher with Il broadening INJURY for
New York Dock, Dawson Chemical,
United States Cast Iron Pipe and
Stromberg. Early transactions in
United States Steel We're at 95k, rep
Tesenting Il fractional gain, but inde-
pendent steels, including Republic
and Bethlehem, were substantially
higher. Oil Shares wavered at the
outset, with Texas Company shading
fractionally to a 1924 low price at
ass. Kelly Springfield per cent
preferred declined / u to a new low
level at Ale. Foreign exchanges
opened steady.

tion upset, with indications that no
serious change in policy would re-
suit Influenced trading sentiment ia
Norably. Wall street also was en-
couraged by statements from leaders
trend of prices through the summer
probably would be upward, although
motor shares made no immediate re-
aponSe. Stewart-Warner, however
rebounded briskly following denial
by the company's president of reports
of curtailed production and contem-
plated omission of dividends. Further
recovery of steel and oil shares was
traced to short covering, while nu-
early gains Rubber stocks, however,
were subjected to selling pressure on
the announcem of tire price cuts
by Firestone. Call money opened at
a y per cent.

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, May 13.-Circulation
OF May notices unsettled the cotton
market in today's early trading and,
after opening steady at an advance
OF to '1S points. prices broke rather
sharply. The notices were estimated
at only 5000 bales, but caused
enough liquidation to- send the price
OF May down to $3.50. or AZ points
net lower, and later deliveries showed
net losses of 10 to 2o~points, October
declining to 24.6s
The May contracts were soon alb
sorbed, however. and the market
rallied Is or 20 points from the
lowest before the end Of the first
hour on firmer foreign exchange and
private report placing domestic
consumption for April at $4,000
bales: compared with $4,000 for
March.
Trading quieted down later and
May contracts held fairly steady
around the 31-cent level, or within
~ points of yesterdays closing. Later
deliveries were relatively firm on
buylng which appeared to come part
ly from trade sources, with October
at midday ruling around 24.S5, or 8
points net higher. A private report
was published estimating the in
crease in acreage at per cent with
OF per cent of the crop planted,
against 66 last year, but only "a per
cent above ground, compared with
80 per cent year ago.
