NEW YORK, May 20 LP.-Cotton
opened steady today, 8 to points lower
under week end realizing or liquidation
combined with some local selling on
the hope Of improving weather con-
ditions in the South over the week end.
There was considerable trade buying,
believed to be partially for Japanese
account, which with covering absorbed
the initial offerings, but the selling con-
tinued, with the active months show
ing net losses of about IL to Ia points
by the end Of the first half hour. July
sold OF to 9.10 and December to 9.65,
or within a few points of the low
records established earlier in the week.
Owing to the Whitsuntide holidays
there were no cables from Liverpool to
influence sentiment either way, and
Liverpool will not reopen for business
until Tuesday morning. The amount of
cotton on shipboard awaiting clearance
at the end Of the week was estimated
at 10000 bales. against 72.000 last year.

The continuous cautious rise of the
Federal Reserve Boards monthly pro-
duetion volume index since the begin
ming of the year, for the first time in
the course of the decline, is undoubtedly
significant. The relative strength Of
residential building is one of certain
other straws that suggest slow improve
ment in fundamental factors. Most inn
portant of all is the plain indication
that Federal Reserve credit policy is
pointed toward expansion and that its
persistent pressure is beginning to break
down resistance in the interest rate
structure and to bring reassuring re-
suits in the bond market, at least for
the large governmental issues, to sup
port the public construction that NAV

Events for the week, especially abroad,

European conference especially implies
the progressive collapse of laissez-faire
and the consequent unacceptable appeal

NEW YORK, May 23.-Bonds were

Brazilians were firm also, while Uru-
guayan credits were UP a point or more
Australian bonds were generally lower
though not widely so. A New York
banking house today published bullish
circular on Australian bonds, the gist
OF which was that while Australia will

two yfArs, both London and New York

CORN CROP SEEN
MORE THAN NEED
Yield of 5000, 600, 600 Bush.
els Expected as Planting
NearS End.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor,

CHICAGO, May 23.-Planting Of the
Nations 1891 corn crop is expected tc
be complete this coming week, and
traders look forward to almost three
billion bushels yield. This reckoning
is based on apparent likelihood that
predictions Of per cent increase OF
acreage over last season will be full
filled and that production will equal
a 10-year average of 28.2 bushels an
acre. At present, a profitable feeding
basis exists between the value Of hogs
and the price Of December delivery OF
corn representing the new 1891 crop
the ratio being almost IL to i.
Faced by reports indicating largely
increased acreage, the corn market this
morning compared with a week pre-
vious ranged "a to 234 cents lower
Wheat varied from 2 cents decline to
I3a advance, with oats n to % down
and provisions showing 20 to so cents
setback.
Overpfoductlon Seen.
An approach TO a ee-billion bushel
corn crop is by some authorities re-
garded as materially in excess Of re-
uuirements,~ = compared with steady do
mestic decrease OF hog production and
smaller feeding Of cattle. On the other
hand, hog production In Europe Is
reported as continuing to increase, with
resultant lessened demand for Ameri-
can packing -house products. However
talk is heard that the ratio OF about
IA to between corn and hogs may send
farmers back to producing more hogs
in order to secure q more satisfactory
market for the grain.
Current advices indicate that much
re-planting Of corn will be necessary
but owing to the advanced season this
circumstance Is not generally looked
upon at present as q market factor of
consequence. Meanwhile, the relatively
low prices prevailing for December de-
livery are leading to forecasts that the
United States will largely recapture
the Canadian demand for corn late in
the year. Heretofore throughout several
seasons. Argentina has been furnishing
the bulk Of corn supplies to Canada.
Has Bearish Tendency.
Prospects that movement Of the new
Winter wheat crop will be under way
in Texas before another fortnight Is
having a bearish influence on wheat
An exception is that settlement Of new
style May wheat contracts has been
laggard, and that shorts in such con-
tracts appear nervous. Oats prices re-
feet increased acreage and the fact that
oats have generally had ample moisture
except in the northwest
Provisions show the effect Of large
stocks and inadequate present demand

aging Sign.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CLEVELAND, May 23.-Further de-
tericration in demand, cutting across
the entire steel consumption structure,
is manifest in declining requirements
and a reduction of points in steel
making operations, bringing the rate
this week down TO A per cent, says
Steel.
Automobile production apparently
passed its Spring peak and turned
down moderately in the past week
Assembly is definitely lower; current
steel requirements reflect this phase
Not having had a sharp rise in the
Spring, 1t is believed the automotive
industry-like steel-w1ll not experience
an abrupt reduction, but rather a
slowly SubSiding trend
Building construction continues mod
erately active. New structural steel in
quiry amounts to 47473 tons, including
10000 tons for q bridge at Henderson,
KY, Structural awards this week total
1928, compared with 1857 tons in
the week preceding and 34,180 tons in
the week a year ago.
Steel pipe demand Is O little more
active. with 26,700 tons purchased in
the week and $4,000 tons pending.
Railroads continue to take a heavy
tonnage of track fastening in keeping
up track maintenance work, but Chi
cago mill interests are discouraged over
the lack Of prospects for secondary rail
buying, and continued deferment Of
stock maintenance work.

DECLINED
DURING PAST WEEK
Good Weather in South and
Weak Spot Market Force
Prices Down.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. May 23-Reports Of
good weather over the week end IN the
South, combined with continued weak
ness In the spot market, were reflected
by sharp declines in cotton futures here
during the earlier part of the week.
Prices for all the active positions made
new low records for the season, with
December to 9.63. or about lis points
below the best figures reached on the
rally earlier In the month.
Offerings then subsided as II the vol
ume Of liquidation had been suf1cient
to improve the markets technical posi-
ton and rallies later In the week were
promoted by the temperance Of show
ers or rains and lower temperatures n
the belt.
Stocks Helped Cotton.
Indications that the stock market was
showing little more resistance to de-
cline may have helped cotton also, but
the rallies met some further liquidation
and fluctuations toward the end Of the
week were rather irregular. Prospects
for warmer weather in the Southwest
probably led to some realizing or re-
selling by recent buyers, but trading
was comparatively quiet, with the mar
ket apparently waiting for more definits
developments In the crop outlook or for
better established trend In securities.
The action of the stock market re-
Gently has had tendency to promote
rather peSsimistic views of general busi-
ness conditions, according to some Of
the cotton brokers hsre, and this MAJ

the average yield per acre was re-
duced from the December estimate OF
1903 to 147.7. Some revision had been
anticipated in view of the difference be.
tween the December crop estimate and
the f1nal etnnings, however, and the
figures were without apparent effect on
the market
Reduction Of Acreage.
According to some observers. un-
favorable weather conditions this month
and the decline In prices has promoted
feeling that the reduction In acreage
may be little over rather than under
10 per cent. and that the crop may get
somewhat later start than hoped for
month ago. but that with favorable
weather from now on, it is likely to
reach the critical period Of the growing
season In fairly satisfactory Condition.
Trade interests have been credited
with buying considerable cotton on de-
clineS, but otherwise the bulk Of the
buying has been attributed to covertns.
