later deliveries was less active, but
October advanced to 26.01c, making
a net gain of SO points.
The early advance was accom-
panied by rumOrs that foreign
government was bidding for all the
cotton left in the hands of co-opera-
tive marketing associations. Reallz-
ing became very heavy at the high
er levels. however, and the market
reacted sharply. May sold off to

market was unsettled around mid

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
GRAIN

CHICAGO Wednesday,, April g.
Wheat acted stubborn early today
but shortly after midsession the mar
ket was affected by the weakness
in corn and developed a downward
tendency. There was a little press
ure at the start, partly for foreign
account but resting orders at $l.Ol
S-4 for May checked the decline for a
time
The Dawes report after it was
given out showed nothing new from
earlier advances as to its contents
and failed to increase trading. The
situation is very bearish, but present
low prices act as deterrent to short
selling while bulls have been whipped
so often of late that they are afraid
to enter the market. Fear Of gov
eminent interference also checks
short selling.
Milling demand for wheat was inn
proved on the dip but foreign de
mand was slow despite the better eX-
change.
Primary receipts were smaller
than shipments. Crop situation is
ideal and the crop report this after
noon confirmed the glowing private
reports received.
Corn was weak from the start. The
market was without buying power,
the only demand coming from shorts
who wanted profits. Receipts were
light but shipping demand and spot
demand was also small and the cash
market had an easy tone
Liquidation and stop loss selling
eXerted a depressing influence on
oats. Shipping demand was poor.
Lack of offerings and buying by
commission houses on the strength
in hogs gave provisions a firm tone
Wheat closed Is to "a cent lower:
May 1.01 IL to 3-8; July t.O3 3-S to
IA: September 1.04 1-SM1-4 to Is.
Corn closed 3S to / is cents low

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, April I'll ne
ton mar opened about UNI
changed from the close of yesterday
with Liverpool lower than due, but
showing spot sales of 12,OOO bales.
Immediately after the opening May
shot upward under renewal OF fren-
zied 3Vering by Slorts In that
month, which is practically corner
ed. and soon traded at 32.25c or 80
points up from the previous close.
JULY advanced to 30.35c or 81 points
up. but October made only moder-
ate gain, trading at 25.S2c or 81
points up. The Dawes report help
ed the advance, but the main cause
of the upturn was the fact that all
: .1derable stock is said to be in
few strong hands. The weekly
weather report was better than due.
The cotton market eased off rapid
~ following the early sharp bulge IN
near month, the decline being due
to profit taking on the belief that
the advance had been too rapid to
hold. The near months fluctuated
nervously on the scale down, May
trading down finally to 31.5O, or 70
points below the early high, but still
is points above the previous close.
July dropped to 29.74 or 81 points
down from the high but still six
POINTS above the previous close.
October settled to 81. "a or just one
point under Yesterdays close. The
rumored death of SHINES, big Ger
man financier, helped the reaction.
The market continued reactionary
during the afternoon on profit tax
ing largely land fair selling of new
crop months. The May position
showed more resistance than the
other months, but it gradually eased
off to 31.1S or 107 points down from
from the previous close. July
dropped to 1882, or 1903 down from
the high and sc below the previous
close October traded down to 24.70,
or 81 points down from the high
and rs points net lower. There was
no depressing news to incluence the
decline.

Manila, P. l., April II, 1924
Dear Dad:
Well, here we are in Manila with
Harold Foster and family. They are
treating us fine, showing us splen
did time. Harold has a good business
here; must be making a good deal
of money. He looks a little old. He
has three fine girls, inquisitive as can
be- Harold will probably stay here
the rest of his life. His wife would
like to go back to the States. Harold
is very popular here, all the fellows
like him. We sail from here for Hong
Kong considerable later than we ex-
pected but will have to be satisfied
as we can't swim very far. Part OF the
Asiastic fleet is here in the harbor.
You would enjoy all this sightseeing
with us. Harold has a 7paSsenger
Buick and has taken us to many plac-
es. Visited some awful unsanitary
Spanish places. 1t is very hot here in
the morning but breeze from the
bay in the evening is fine. We hope
you are having good rime. Will Write
to YOU Often-Ethel.
A Card Later
On Board S. S. Jefferson, April 20.
Dear Dad: We are about to land in
Hong Kong. Have been Sc hours COM
ing from Manila. Sea very rough yes
terday but sea sickness did not last
long. The president ships. are surely
excellent. Wish we were coming all
the way on this one. How do you think
you would like this chow? (Referring
to menu card). am afraid you might
eat too much. We hope you are nav
ing a good time. We shall write from
every port With love.-Ethel.
