COTTON AVERAGE
 STEADY FOR WEEK
Influence Of UnfavOrable Crop
 Advices Felt

NEW YORK, May 23.-The cotton market, while somewhat irregular dur ing the week, averaged quite steady, especially toward the close when it was influenced by less favorable crop advices, and a number of private re- ports indicating rather low condition and pointing to a government report on June 2 possibly under 70. Of the private condition figures issued during the week, the lowest was 664 with an increase of only per cent in the esti- mated acreage. According to numer- ous private advices received from the belt the crop has suffered from cool nights which have retarded gernina- tion and given it distinct setback. This furnished the basis for notable support from Wall street interests which was a feature late in the week when October contracts sold up to 26.34c, representing net advance for the week of about 116 points. July contracts sold as high as 29.65c. a net advance of 75 points and the week closed with prices still about 40 to 70 points above Those prevailing a week age. They May position reached 32.30c or a new high level for the present up- ward movement, and at the time it passed out on Friday sold at 31.98c, a premium of 275 points over July, or about the maximum premium at which it had sold oyer that delivery.
 Not only has curtailment continued to increase in both northern and south ern mills but reports from cloth mar kets indicated inability to do business at prevailing prices owing to a disposi- ton to await developments in the new crop situation. It was estimated that Fall River cloth sales would not ex- ceed 2u,000 pieces for the week. On the other hand, spinners takings show ed fair increase over the same week a year ago and weekly statistics on the whole received rather a bullish con- struction. The deliveries on May for the month are estimated at about co., 900 bales. Southern spot markets ruled generally firm with net advances of about 30 to 50 points but sales proved to be only, moderate, as there was less export inquiry, while domestic mills, owing to the curtailment prevailing showed little disposition to buy ahead.

CURB MARKET
 E REACTIONARY
Bear Selling Encouraged By Cut Chicago Cas-
 Oline Prices

NEW YORK. May --Reactionary price tendencies prevailed in today'r quiet curb market. Announcement of a cut of l cent gallon in the gaso- line price in Chicago by the Standard oil Company of Indiana, which was in terrupted in some quarters as fore shadewing another price cutting war in the middle west, encouraged bear selling of some popular oils. Prairie oil and Gas broke 6 points to 220 and losses of & point or more were record ed by Standard Oils of Indiana, Ken lucky, Nebraska and Ohio. Vacuum, Gulf and several others declined frac- tiona1ly.
 In the industrial list. Glen Alden Coal fell back more than a point to 9Sh on profit taking. An odd lot sale of Ford Motors of Canada was made at 425, Az points below the previous transaction. Gillette Razor closed 1N points lower on smal lsalse, while Dub iIier Radio held with fractional gain for the day.
 Motor shares were neglected, firm CT tone, however, being shown in Du- rant and others.

 Cuban Cane Sugar preferred declined sharply today along with shares of other Cuban producers as an outcome of a lewiston of private estimates on the size of the present crop and the amount of sugar still on the island. Weakness in the stocks reflected the decline in prices for actual raws and futures, the former selling down to 3h cents, the lowest level since January, 1928.
 Possibility of the 10000 stores in the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea com pany chain becoming aggressive com petitors of the United and Schulte sys- tems againN was stressed today by per- sons having knowledge of the entrance of the grocery concern into the retail distribution of tobaccos. To this inno- vation on the part of the former cor poration the street largely attributed the desire of older tobacco interests to join hands.
