Spectators Anxious As To Effect Of Bonus
 On Business

NEW YORK, May 2O.-Uncer- tainty as to the effects of bonus legis- lation on general business reflected by the weakness of stocks, was held large ly responsible for nervous and irregular fluctuations in the cotton market to- day. After selling off to 28.60c at the start, July rallied to 20.25c, but eased again closing at 29,0Oc. The final tone of the market was steady at net ad- vances of 1 to 15 points.
 The market opeped easy at decline of 15 to 35 points under liquidation, in- nuenced by the lower opening of the stock market, relatively easy Liverpool cables and the circulation. of notices estimated at S,9O0 bales. May eased off to 30.e5c and October to 25O7c, but offerings were absorbed at these fig ures and prices firmed up on reports that the notices had been stopped and forecasts fer cool weather in the south. May advanced to 31.65c and October to 25.63c or IS to 25 points net higher, but lost part of the gain under renewed liquidation. A private report made the crop condition 60.6 compared with 72.8, the 10-year average.

BONDS RECOVER
 MOST OF LOSSES
Investment Bankers Dis count Effect Of Bonus
 On, Market

NEW YORK, May 20.-UnsettIed by passage of the bonus bill over the Presi- dents veto bond prices today displayed weakness in the early dealings, but later recovered most of their losses. Selling pressure at the outset was concentrated on Liberty bonds, causing recessions Of as much as half point. Quick ral- lies, however, brought quotations back to near yesterdays closing levels. Investment bankers were not inclined to fear that the bonus action would have any serious effect on. the bond market. Easy money, 1t was said, had created fundamentally sound basis for investment buying, which would not be seriously impaired even by the re- tarding influence of the bonus on busi- ness and trade. The fact that no inn mediate financing was contemplated by the government. it was felt, might be considered favorable.
 New financing today was absorbed quickly despite the general uneasiness in trading circles. Bankers disposed of S15, ,000, GOO Great Northern 5s due in 1873 at price of 921a to yield 5.45 per cent without recourse to public of- fering.
 Proceeds will be used to reimburse the roads treasury. A good demand was reported for the $9,50O 600 Czecho- Slovakian bonds. Preparations have been completed by bankers for offering the New York Central equipment issue, which awaits only the authorization of the road s officials. A $4,000,000 issue of the Federated. Metals Corporation 15 year 7's will be sold tomorrow at par.
 Price changes generally were of lit- tie importance. An advance in Nickel Plate 6s was believed to reflect pre- |paration for additional bond offering. Wickwire Spencer Is declined further following official recommendation of a readjustment of the company's capital structure.

WHEAT SCORES
 PRICE IJPTURN Boost Is Largely Result Of Strength In Winni-
 peg Market

{ CHICAGO, May 20.-Wheat scored upturns in price today largely as re suit of strength in the Winnipeg market. where export buying appeared to be ac- tive. The wheat closing here was un- settled, 1s to 3s@16c net higher; July, $1. .061a @1. .065s, and September, $1.O77z to $1.07a@1.075s. Corn finished at 11sc decline to E @Hc gain, oats at Ac off to a shade advance, and provisions varying from 5c setback to rise of %.
 Except for slight depression at the start, the wheat market showed de- cided upward tendency until the final trading, when sympathy with late weak ness of corn had some bearish effect. The initial hesitancy of the Chicago wheat market was ascribed to low prices of securities at New York, but wheat buying here seemingly against sales at Winnipeg led soon to material ad- vance for wheat. In connection with the Winnipeg strength, it was said es- inmates pointed to a much smaller worlds crop than last year. Further- more, estimates of European buying of wheat today totaied as high as 800, 900 bushels, mostly Canadian, but including some from the United States via the Gulf of Mexico. s
 The fact that the McNary- -Haugen bill was to be taken up at Washington today acted as check on wheat selling here. Besides, some unfayorable crop reports were current. The weather map showed lower temperatures over most of the country, but none that reached the freezing point.
 In the corn market, the unreasonable cold weather as well as scantiness of receipts made shorts anxious. Late an however, that vessels had been chartered to bring 440, 900 bush els of corn to Chicago from Duluth forced a sudden reaction. Oats fInctu- ated in line with corn.
 Firmness of hog values steadied the provision market.

WALL STREET BRIEFS


 NEW YORK. May 2O.-commission houses were busy tonight sending out mar gin calls to holders of stocks whose mar ket value had been seriously impaired by the reaction which followed the enact ment of the bonus bill. Due to the rela- lively small public participation in re- cent sessions of the market, these calls were not as extensive as they would have been if such a reaction had come at the height of a bull" market Liquidation of weakened marginal accounts is not expected to be very heavy unless there should be another unexpectedly sharp re- action in quoted values.
 When the market closed tonight the average of 20 leading industrials were in new low ground for the year.. The average of 20 leading railroads was slight ly more than half point above the years low.
 Re-etsablishment by the Humble oil before the reduction of 10 days ago was regarded today as one of the most sig nificant developments in the trade. Fur ther action to make these prices retro would take a similar step was regarded in some quarters as an admission that the cut was mistake and that conditions in the oil industry did not warrant 1t,
