STOCK MARKET
 SLIGHTLY HIGHER
Net Gains Largely Frac. tional, Although Tone
 Of Prices Is Firm

NEW YORK, May 16.-Short cover ing operations, apparently based on the bare possibility that President Cool idge's veto of the soldier bonus bill will be sustained, and the growing invest ment demand resulting from relatively fhsap money rates, eimparted firm tone to prices in today's stock market. Net gains were largely fractional, al- though several popular issues closed 1 to nearly 2 points higher on the day. Trading was again relatively light in volume, the days transactions running &niy slightly more than one-half mil don shares.
 High grade rails, steels: sugars and oils gave the best demonstration of xf8np strength. Specialties showed mixed changes, strength of Colorado &uel, Woolworth (new stock); and Loose Wiles Biscuit being counteracted by the heaviness of United Fruit. Chi caEo Pnumatic Tool and Reynolds To- sb6cco B. a.
 Rail stocks developed new leaders in Atchison. which established record fD24 high at 1031a, and Union Pacific, which closed nearly 2 points higher, at 1HSa. Strength of Atchison was based on the possibility of a special dividend distribution at the July meeting of the board of directors. Union Pacific was bought on speculative expectations of a rpecial distribution from the extensive holdings of securities of other railroads in the Union PaGfic's treasury.
 Attempts to depress some of the standard industrial shares were aban- Noned when bear. traders discovered that the floating supply of stocks was linn tied. United States Steel / common moved within an area of point, clos ing half higher at 97. Baldwin ad- yanced 1 point to 10S and American Can and Studebaker improved frac- &ionally.
 M Reports of a small advance in the price of navy gasoline in the mid-con- tinent district was generally held to be responsible for the late rally in the oil shares. Harlan assumed the leadership of that group, closing at 321a for net gain of 11a points, while Pacific, Pan American B, Atlantic Refining, General Asphalt, Mexican Seaboard and Houston closed point or so higher.
 Further liquidation of Congoleum sent that stock down two points. to new low record for the year at 33A, ', but it rallied later to- S4%. Phlladel- phia and Reading Coal and Iron was again active, showing a small frac-- tional loss on the day as result of extensive profit-taking.
 Call money opened at 3A per cent and then eased to 3, where it closed.
 The time money and commercial paper markets were quiet with no change in rates. -. Chief interest in the foreign market entered in the Auctuation of French francs which ruled slightly above 5% cents. Demand sterling held fairly rteady just under $4361s. Other cur keSicies showed only nominal changes.
 Total stock sales, 50S,90O shares.

NEW ORLBANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, May lS.-The cotton market showed tendency toward reac- son s9dsy mny S. Sn Q; a time by large exports and mil takings May was lower from the start on the is- suance of more notices in New York and sales on the local market and traded 55 points under the previous close. The ac- tive months after opening 21 to 24 points down, experienced a fair rally. July trad ing up to 2S.9Sc; October to 24.65c. and December to 24.35c. At these levels, the high points of the day, prices were still 5 to II points under the close of yesterday. There was yli:tle fluctuation during the greater part of the session but in the last half hour prices sank rapidly to 20.69c for July 24.s5c for October and 24.O5c for showing net losses for the day of 50 points on May and 36 to 45 points on the other active months.
 thes weather map to show as low tempera- lures as expected and to an official fore cast for fair and warmer weather, cou- pied with sales at Fall River for the week of only l5s0oo pieces of print cloths, prob ably the smallest sales in years
 The market rallied later on the large exports of 22,bb0 bales and shorts covered rather freely when the mill takIngs for the week were issued showing that spinners had taken 207,0O0 bales, against lsi,OOO during. the corresponding week last year. The gain was due to the large takings by foreign. spinners who took 140,5O0 bales last week, against 101.o0o the same week last year.
 While the market was well supported dur ing the greater part of the session by the shock given by the large exports and mill takings, prices crumbled rapidly during the cloTng half hour of trading on week end liqdidation based on the prospect for warmer and generally good weather in the belt over Sunday. r

NEW CROP START
 IS UNSETTLLNG
Roth Old And New Month Shorts
 Rush To Cover

NEW YORK, May 16.-Perhaps the most prominent feature in the cotton market during the past week has been increasing nervousness over the new crop start. The weather has been too wet in some sections and generally too cool to be satisfactory. Domination has been delayed and the growth of early planted cottons checked, with the result that further reports of replant- ing have been received and during the middle of the week there appeared to be an association that the movement of e:I.y cotton from the southwest might be featured. The situation in this re- spect combined with buiiish statistical features and well maintained near month premiums, led to considerable covering by both old and new crop shorts during the early part of the week and there seemed to be some broadening of trade and commission house demand for new crop deliveries. Later however the near month tension was relieved to some extent by reports that cotton was reaching here for de- livery QN contract before the end of the month NA Ad today,s forecasts for gener- ally fair and warmer weather in the south were followedN by some realizing in the new crop deliveries. The response of the market to the prospect for better weather was regarded by local traders as indicating that the recent complaints had made no serious impression on sentiment and that with good weather from now on an increased yield would be, anticipated. Arrivals of cotton here presumably for delivery on May have included about 2,000 bales from mill centers and some further shipments are expected from eastern belt points particularly Norfolk. As result of these shipments possibly May contracts were offered little more freely at a premium of 227 points over July today and this was construed as mean ing that a basis for the final evening up of the position had been pretty well replenished Improvement was noted from the domestic goods markets but the report showing mill consump- tion of 4S0,010 bales for April com pared with ASA, ,92S for March and 576s514 last year was generally com mented upon as indicating a less domestic curtailment than expected. Private cables received here have re- ported continental buying of new crops in Liverpool.

WHEAT ISLFTED
 BY DRY WEATHER
Indications Of Reduction Of Chicago Stock Also
 Strengthens Prices

CHICAGO, May 16s-Dry weather reports from Nebraska, Kansas and oth- CT important wheat states with higher temperatures in the southwest did a good deal today to lift wheat values. The wheat market closed unsettled at a A@ ssct to ssc net gain. July, $1.06s @1.O6a and September, $1.O75s@ 1.079s. t.
 Corn finished A@Ac up; oats un- changed to A@Ac higher and provi- sions varying from Sc decline to a rise of %.
 Especially in Nebraska rain was said to be needed to stop impairment of what that April rainfall was Yellow normal ficiency shown in Iowa and Nebraska. The first half of May has also shown continued moisture deficiency in the two states named and noticeable lack also in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri. Under such circumstances a moderate amount of buying developed notwith- standing that many traders evihced a disposition to postpone dealings until farm legislation at Washington is out of the way. An elevator house led the buying of July delivery.
 Wheat prices also were strengthened by indications of liberal reduction of the Chicago stock of wheat this week, lake shipments of about 1,0O0, 900 bush els to, the east being noted. Besides European demand was reported as slightly better. with purchases of 500,- 900 bushels at the seaboard. Esti- mates were current too that the worlds available supply had decreased 4S,O22,- 900 bushels in April as against 37;111,- 900 bushels ain April last year.
 Corn and oats as we'll as wheat req sponded to complaints of dry weather and to prospective reduction of stocks here owing to lake shipments. Fur thermore ,today's receipts of corn in Chi cago tota1led only 20 cars.
 Provisions although dull, were sus- tained by an upturn in hog values.

GRAIN LETTERS

CHICAGO, May 1s.-Both wheat and corn were strong today. Corn was in- clinec to be easy early. but later submit ted to the wheat strength. The general run of news was unchanged for the most part, the few exceptions, were rather fav- orable. One of these was talk of better demand for cash corn, including demand handlers sales exceeded lie cars. This better demand came at a time when re- ceipts were snallest for sometime growing talk eof need of rain over much of the wheat belt, particularly in central west andsin Canada Washington con. items each day regarding agricultural re- lief legisiation.

WOOL REVIEW

BOSTON, May 16.--The Commercial Bull letin will say tomorrow:
 'The market still Is spotty and lacking in stability, although the trade iB per haps more hopeful as time passes. that business will presently. improve. Sales of yarns and tops have been made at lower prices. sometimes at prices below their intrinsic value, Meanwhile, the wool mar ket continues in rather an irregular way. The sale of the Jericho pool in Utah at 42 cents does not seem to have had the stsbilizIng effect upon the western mar ket that it< usually has had. although prices there are not greatly changed.
 London has been irregular throughout although, the sales toward the end of the present week seems to have become a lit- tie stronger. The foreign requirements are heavy at the moment and the market a bit groggy In consequence. f-
 "MohaIr Is, in moderate request wiht prices about where they have been for two or. three weeks past.
 SThe rail and water shipments of wool from January i. 1894, to May IS, 1924, inclusive were 7lsAss,OoO pounds against 61,ss6.oOo pounds for the same period last year.
