LIBERTIES LEAD
 BOND ADVANCE
Highest Levels Of Year Reached By Sesveral
 Government Isues

NEW YORK, May 23.-Under the leadership of United States government obligations, bond prices pressed stead fly forward in today's active trading. Several Liberty issues reached the high est levels of the year and numerous speculative railroad liens were marked up briskly as buying orders overflowed from the high grade list. Heaviness of local traction bonds, however, cut down gains in the public utility group.
 The chief contribution to the improve ment in trading sentiment today was the scramble for the $25,000,000 equip ment trust notes of the New York Cen tral, which were offered on per cent yield. It was reported that $20,- COG, 900 of these bonds were placed pri- vately. Because of the small allotments on the remainder. disappointed sub scribers immediately placed a pre- mium on the certificates in the open market where they changed hands on when issued" basis. The 5 per cent yield was said to establish a new high price for equipment trusts this year.
 Reports of favorable progress in lease negotiations with the Pennsyl- vania railroad carried the Norfolk & Western convertible 6s up points, the bonds keeping pace with the rise in the stock. Other strong spots in the rail group were New Orleans, Tex as G Mexico 5s, New York central 31as, Southern Pacific As, the West Shore, Frisco and New Haven issues.
 Broadening interest was shown to- day in high grade foreign government bonds. Sweden 6s and Japanese 6hs scoring substantial gains.

CANADA FREEZE BOOSTS WHEAT Sharp Rally Takes Place After Decline Early
 In Session

CHICAGO, May 23.-Freezing temper atures in the Canadian northwest with active demand from exporters at Win nipeg and forecast of possible frost tonight as far south as Kansas brought about sharp rally in wheat prices to- day after an early decline. Wheat closed unchanged. M to Sc net higher, July. $107M @1.Os, and September, $1s0SN @1.09 to 1.09. Corn finished at 1ac lower to shade advance, oats at stc off to 1c gain, and provisions un- changed to 7@1oc down.
 Rains in Nebraska and parts of Kansas relieved, at least for the time being, the concern which wheat trad CTS had felt as to drought conditions west and southwest. This opportune supply of moisture was chiefly respon- sible for downward tendency in the market during the first half of the day. Offerings on the declines, however, were readily absorbed owing to a prevalent opinion that the crop outlook still re- mained questionable. The subsequent advance was readily Achieved when buying increased on account of the news from Winnipeg and other bullish developments.
 One of the points emphasized was that Winnipeg's May delivery which some months ago sold 13 cents lower than Chicago May went to about %c over Chicago today. Word of some ex- port business at St. Louis was also a stimulating factor. It was noted too that western Kansas and Oklahoma had received little or no rain. Be- sides, talk was current that the Pacific coast winter crop would be a third less than last year.
 Corn and oats followed wheat, but rallies were checked by reports that eastern sellers were offering corn cheaper than Chicago and that more liberal country deliveries were indi- cated. Provisions weakened on the downturns in the hog market.

NEW ORLEANS COrTO,

NEW ORLEANS, May 23.--The cot ton market was a very active, nervous and two-sided affair today with fluc- tuations comparatively narrow consid- ering the volume of business done. May was depressed by the comparatively large tenders in New York and the ex- pectation of liberal tenders here be- fore the month finally goes out. At the lowest May traded 57 points down. July declined early to 2S.75c or 35 points net lower, rallied later to 2S.S0c or 55 points up from the lowset lost a DOT tion in the afternoon. October drop ped F points lower during the morning, rallied 32 points later to 25.85c and eased off again during the afternoon; The other new crop months followed much the same course as October. The close showed net gains for the day of 2 to 4 points on active months.
 The market was easier in the first part of the morning on favorable ly liberal tenders in New York where notices for 6,S00 bales were issued. Only 800 balse were rendered locally but the rapid increase in the certificated stock here pointed to liberal tenders before noon on Monday when the month New York at noon today, the month going out at 31.98c. After a decline of nearly g. a bale on July and less than $1 bale on new crop months, the market rallied at first on an offi- cisI forecast. for unfavorable weather and later on low condition estimates. After advancing $1.50 to nearly $3 'a bale from the low, the market eased off on end of the week realizing and on "a rumor that a disagreement had arisen between the President and Sec retary Mellon on the tax reduction bill which might lead to the secretary's resignation. -s
 Despite the reaction of the afternoon the market retained a small net gain at the close. ,..ss 3is..5

GRAIN LETTERS

CHICAGO, May z3.-Wheat today en- joyed the widest range in two or three weeks. Reports of rain in Nebraska were responsible for a lower opening. Also there was some selling inspired by press reports from Washington that dissension in the-ranks of the farm bloc was seriously prejudiclng the chances of any farm relief Legislation. To- days high level was IS 91%c above the early low level and the best prices were not maintained. The close was nevertheless the best on the movement. The strengthening in the general situa- tion was the sole topic of comment in nipeg market continued relatively strong giving buyers here much en- couragement. Corn averaged lower, in fluenced by sales to go to store total ing 100000 bushels and by reports sug- gesting a more liberal movement from Nebraska.-H. 6 B. Beer to J. F. VII lingham & Co.

STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK, May 23.-The stock mar ket today. was similar in character to yesterdays market, though the per- centage of professional trading was probably larger and we will most like ly have Similar markets until the tax has been disposed of. It Is doubtful if the bearish element would hazard increasing commitments with the pros pect of enactment of the conference committee's tax bill and approval by the President. But thereafter, with this and the congressional influence removed as market factors, we will again be dependent on conditions of trade, earn ings of corporations and a little later on the election result next fall. We must take note of the fact that unem- ployment is increasing; that wage cut ting has started, though so far has not yet become general. The building boom is at an end. There will, from now on, be more pressure to sell buildings rath- CT than to construct new ones. The tendency of commodities Is downward On the other side of the proposition we have an easy money situation, which, with a strong technical posi- ton, gives support to the market and for the immediate future will consti- tute basis for trading within the linn its recently established.-John F.

NEW ORLEANS, May 2s.-The cot ton market ruled rather cratic today, for while a couple of bullish private monthly crop reports were issued and less favorable weather indicated for nearly all sections of-the belt, there was more disposition to realize, espe- cially on bulges, than to enter into new commitments. Prior to the recent set back to the new crop, occasioned matn- ly by low temperatures, traders were inclined to sell October above "A cents, especially around the 25-cent level. Now that October is up to above 22 cents traders hesitate to buy, preferring to await further climatic developments and the effect on the growing crop. In an-' other ten days or so all of last years crop, including nnters, will probably have been marketed as the movement into sight to date is 10,639,000 bales, after which the trade will be making inroads on last years carryover in the interior, which was only 416,000 bales against 1,216,00O year before last, while the south Texas crop where early re- ceipts are usually obtained, is reported backward.-H. & B.

BRApsTREET,s REVIEW

NEW YORK, May 22.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Trade and crop development still lack the long desired stimulus of seasonal weather; the recession in industry con unues, the results of this upon employ ment and purchasing power being noted as an additionally retarding element in some areas; political developments have been rather disappointing. and the gen eral situation, commercial and industrial. may be quite accurately summed up in the phrase, fair to slow.
 Rather more than average complaint of low temperatures retarding crop growth comes from such widely separated areas as the spring wheat northwest TAxas. Georgia and New England, and, very generally, crops and trade are linked together as being similarly affected The Pacific northwest notes the need of rain, as do some Of the west central areas as far south as Kansas. while rain and light snows or frosts have been rather a detri- ment in the northern tier of states from Minnesota eastward"

rious trouble ahead if the weather rules unfavorable during the summer and weevil damage Is anything like what it has bene during the past two years. The forecast for the western belt was for showers and colder. The fact that May went out at a stiff premium was not very comforting to speculative or trade shorts and shortly after 12 o'clock a local spot house bought 10000 July up to 29.45c. Takings smaller than last week, but better than last year. There may be a profit ahead on the short side of cotton but nothing like what there will be on the long side, should things go wrong later on.-John F. Clark G Co.
