In the Cotton Market
CBy Thomson g. McKinnon,

10y thomson q MChlQnOnb
NEW YORK, April 5.-Cotton
opened at new high prices again
this morning and within a range of
very few points, held its level
throughout the morning. The opin-
ion that this seasons acreage will
show a reduction around 715 per
cent gains ground. Textiles seem to
be holding the slight improvement
previously noted, with the tone of
the various markets somewhat
f1rmer Foreign cottonS are advanc-
ing. American contract markets
continue to show excellent demand,
especially for summer months, with
the strength in later months proba-
bly, sympathetic. The trade now is
firmly of the opinion that the farm
board will accept the delivery of
actual cotton on their contracts and
spot people are arranging their po-
sitions accordingly. The approach
of tirs% notice day for May cotton
will be accompanied by very nerv-
Gus markets and the tendency is
quite likely to be toward mate
rally higher scale Of prices. Early
in the afternoon prices we're at new
highs. July was 1880 cents and tone
firm.

BUSINESS TREND
GOOD, ACCORDING
TO new SURVEY
Depression Noted During
First of Year Believed
ReCeding.

Bv United Press
WASHINGTON. April 4.-The
first quarter of 1880 recorded the
worst business depression since the
dehation collapse of 1921, but ended
with the pendulum decidedly on the
upSwing of recovery.
Observers agree that the trough
of the Oppressive reaction has been
passed.
Two 00OO-share days on the
stock market during the last half of
March signalized the return of the
public to the speculative market.
AT mid-March new awards for
construction passed last years COM
parative figures for the first time
since the stock market panic.
Steel Picks Up
Steel operations were marked at
80 per cent of plant capacity for
March with untitled orders stand
ing 2 per cent above year ago at
the beginning of the new quarter.
Untitled orders for transportation
equipment averaged so per cent
higher in March than in the COR
responding month of 1929, showing
the extensive railroad buying
promised in the white house con-
ferences last tall.
Another bullish factor was ap-
proyal by congress last week of a
bill increasing federal-aid road
building appropriations from $751;
100000 to $125000,000 annually for
the fiscal years 1880, 1881 and 1882.
President Hoover is expected to
sign the bill within the next few
days. Matched dollar for dollar 18th
state funds the bill assures M
estimated expansion of Is per cent
in road development this year.
Automobiles OFF
Automobile production recorded a
normal seasonal pickup during
March, but the quarter ended with
total production 80 per cent behind
last year, a figure rejecting an in
tense concentration of unemploy-
ment in the Michigan indus
trial area. But the quarters pro-
duction was above the January
March average for the four years
1926-l929.
The general wholesale price index
seems to have been stabilized at
about per cent below the boom
average of 1929.
The general level of agricultural
prices declined points more be-
tween Feb. Is and March Is.
reaching the lowest point since May,
1927. At 1876 per cent of the prewar
level on March Is, they were IA
points below year ago, with the
heaviest decline noted in cotton
down AZ points from year ago.
Grains were down II points and
meat animals, g. Grain prices since
have shown slight recovery on
drought reports and reduced-acre-
age prospects for next year.

In the Stock Market
lRv Thomson 3 MeKinnonl


NEW YORK, April 4.-With re
vivsl Of constructive operations
under leadership of the best stocks,
the market moved ahead convinc-
ingly nito what was again new high
territory for many issues. Appar-
emily the increase in brokers loans
was largely discounted in the recent
reaction, and the market presented
a strong front to whatever early
selling there may have been on
this account. There can be no cues
ton as to the manner in which
constructive sentiment, both in spec
uiavive and investment circles, has
been treasured by the evidence in
the market has given Of its ability
70 easily absorb substantial selling
pressure. The external news of the
day is somewhat mixed in character
the outstanding item being the de-
crease in Woolworth's March sales.
Inasmuch as this had been suggested
already by the drop in sales Of mail
order and chain stores, it occasioned
not particular surprise. The man
ner IN which motor stocks are re-
spending to better reports from the
industry Is gratifying. We took from
private conservationS with well in
formed executives that sentiment
n the motor trade has taken a dis
tinct turn for the better. With the
markets technical condition about
al that could be desired, with
money conditions continuing favor
able, and with commercial activity
unquesticnably on the mend, We
continue optimistic over the out
look for the better type stocks.

CHICAGO, April a. - Wheat
sagged at the close on the Board
Of Trade today after Winnipeg's
weakness and heavy profit taking
had previously swept away the early
gains scored on strong foreign
cables and continued drought in the
southwest and northwest. A fore
cast for threatening weather. es-
pecially in Kansas, was partially re-
sponsible for the drop Of around
? cents from the early highs Shorts
we're still covering but the grain
came more easily. Corn suffered
heavy profit-taking and was lower
while oats followed corn.
At the close wheat was Z cent
lower to Z cent higher, corn was ss
to l cent lower and oats was Il to
cent lower Provisions were a
few points higher.
Liverpool failed to maintain the
early pace and receded somewhat to
close ~ to 3ls cents higher.
BuenOs Aires also hit the decline
and was only Is to Ia cent higher
at midday. Exports were esti-
mated at 100000 bushels early.
Cash prices were l cent higher. Re
ceipts were cars.
Corn participated in the strength
in wheat at the start but could not
hold its gains and by mid-morning
had eased under Thursdays close.
Offerings we're only moderate and
action was not great as most of the
traders were watching the wheat
pit Cash prices were unchanged to
= cent higher. Receipts were 1876
cars.
Oats had very fair advance at
the start in sympathy with the
other grains but eased to fraction
ally below the previous close with
the setback in the major grains, at
mid-session. Cash prices were I'M
