Market Reacts On Pros.
pect Of Better Weather
In The South

NEW YORK, April IA further adj
vance in the cotton market early today
was followed by reactions on prospects
of better weather in the south and
rumors of freer spot offerings. May
declined from 2s.64c to 27.95c and closed
at 2s. 3ec, with the general market clos
ing steady, net unchanged to 16 points
lower.
The market opened steady at de-
cline of points on September, but
generally unchanged TO IL points high

and overnight buying orders. There was
further covering by May shorts and
some buying Of new crop months on
reports of unseasonably low tempera-
lures in the belt. october sold up to
2458c, with the general list showing
net advances Of about to II points
during the early trading. The demand
for May became less urgent after the
rally of 219 points from last weeks low
level, however, and the market turned
easier under realizing and southern
selling. Active months sold 40 to 4S
points net lower early in the afternoon,

of this loss was recovered In the late
trading on buying Of near months.

STOCKS DISPLAY
firm IJNDERTONE
Market Session Marked
By Almost Total Absence
Of Selling Pressure

NEW YORK, April 1.-Stock prices
displayed a firm undertone in today's
market, the dullest session this year
Except for an isolated drive on Stude-
baker, which was hammered down
points below yesterdays close, there
was a marked absence Of selling pres
sure.
While constructive interests were en-
couraged by reports that leaders of the
two major parties IN the Senate in
tended to expedite pending legislation
and that administration officials were
hopeful regarding 20 per cent re-
duction on 1928 income before Con-
gress adjourns, they made no concerted
efforts to boost prices. Floor traders
reported that most of the buying came
from short interests.
Strength and activity of st. Paul pre-
ferred, which touched a new 1924 high
at 1914 and closed slightly below that
figure for a net gain of nearly
points, was one Of the few features.
The buying apparently was based on
the improved earnings position of the
road as revealed in the February state
ment, as the stock is one of the few
on the big board" for which there has
been no thought Of dividend action.
Reports of further curtailment in the
Youngstown district failed to affect
the steel shares, United States Steel
common and the independent issues
showing slight fractional gains. Beth
lehem moved up nearly a point on the
announcement that March shipments
and production were the largest of any
month since the middle of 1928.
OILS made only q feeble response to
reports Of an advance In price.
Rubber shares yielded slightly on the
announcement that dividend action on
Kelly -Springfield 8 per cent preferred
had been postponed for one week.
American Can closed nearly a point
higher, 1854, despite the circulation of
bearish rumors about that stock before
the market opened. American Woolen
was heavy In the early trading, touch
ing 67%, but snapped back later to
SON, up y. Jones Bros. Tea touched
a new low at 1915, and then rallied 8
points. Dupont, General Electric and
United States Alcohol were the strong
spots among the specialties.
Outside of st. Paul preferred, inter-
est in rails was confined largely to
Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and
Western, each of which moved up
about III points.
Foreign exchanges were strong, 1924
highs being recorded by French, Bel
gian, italian, Swiss and Scandinavian
rates. Strength Of French francs was
attributed to active short covering.
Call money opened at 8 per cent and
then dropped to Az. The time money
market continued firm, dealers report
iue shortage Of funds at An per cent
for 9o-day loans, although the shorter
maturities ruled at that figure. Longer
dates command Az. The commercial
paper market was quiet, prime names
being unchanged at Az per cent.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, April THE cot
ton market today was decidedly erratic,
and although very quiet during the
latter part of the session, nevertheless
developed fairly wide fluctuations. May.
after advancing to 2s.51c in the early
trading, declined Sc points to 27.95c.
July traded up to 27.85c and declined
so points to 26.s5c, while October gained
10 points early, trading at 2S.90c, and
eased off so points to 23.40c. All &C.
tive months rallied well in the last half
hour ofstrading, recovering 30 to~40
points from the low. and finally closed
at net declines for the day of to 10
points.
At the start, Liverpool cables were
much better than due, and the weather
map. though fair, showed rather cold
all over the belt. The market, how
ever, made a poor response to the slim
ulating influences, and after a small
initial gain of little more than half a
dollar a bale, turned reactionary, with
shorts encouraged to resume selling on
the belief that reaction was due and
that the prospect for fair weather in
the belt for at least several days would
accelerate farm work.
Although there was rather fair trade
buying at the decline and the market
rallied moderately at times, the general
trend was downward, further selling be-
ing encouraSe0 " reports Oh f1Ar prog
ress in planting in central Texas and
elsewhere in the belt. There was little
animation apparent. however, and trad
ing became extremely dull.
In the last half hour Of trading, how
ever, quite a good rally developed, and
the greater part of the earlier loss was
recovered, the stimulating influence be-
ing more encouraging news OF the dry
goods trade and advices from Worth
street that big trader there had turn
ed down orders and expressed CONT
dence that the market would receive
active assistance from a more active
demand for manufactured goods in the
near future. AS a result the market
at the close exhibited a more cheerful
tone. Exports for the day were lib
eral, totaIing 1854 bales.
