New York, April 26.-Buyiny or.
ders which failed to be executed at
the close Friday, accompanied by the
rather heavy demand for stocks
throughout the greater part of today's
short session, accelerated the upward
movement on the curb market. 1t
was plain that the recovery of the
last two days had inundated recent
short sellers and had caused hurried
covering in of outstanding short con-
tracts for over the weekend.
The oils retained their plsce OF
leadership, and special buying appeared
to be under way n he mi1-coniinete

Producers continued heavy and resulted
in an advance TO 4 new high for the

attention, getting IN over > points.
Prairie Oil and Gas, the largest

The rise of above a point in Gen.

company purchased some time ago the

trading IN the cotton market today,

the market. Final prices were the

The failure of Liverpool 10 meet

terday had a quieting effect during
early trading. Further covering %
both May and July contracts occurred
but the rise of about . cents in three
days caused more realizing on the
part Of those who bought at lower
levels. Few large orders were execut-
ed during the first hour today. io
While heavy rain fell in Arkansaz.
Eastern Texas and Louisiana and
predictions were for frost in several
sections tonight the general outlook
for over-Sunday weather was encour-

new crop positions during the morn-
ing. but the whole list eased off 80
points or more in the progress of
trading. 90,
The almost violent recovery of 2
cents in old crop positions since the
elimination of the decline on Tues
day came as warning that this ia
a period of decided uncertainty.
From the latter part of April TO
the alter part of May weather will
determine whether growers viii be
able TO get the crop planted as plar-
ned and whether the plant itself will
attain a good stand. 81.

start of the week. Banks and finan-
cial institutions were the principal
purchasers.
To some extent investment demand
has broadened out to include the
high grade railroad and industrial is
sues. With money rates going still
lower, both for call and time funds,
there was every incentive to acquire
high grade bonds. The movement
would have gone further had it not
been for the diversion of good deal

these the market was especially good.
