Foreign trade authorities said
shipping would be among the first
to feel the effects of the Allied de-

Africa.
The possibility the Allies may
seize the big Norwegian merchant

cargo on many routes, forced com

Rubber, largely imported from

Indies, sold at the years top prices

of about a cent the last two days.

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, May 4-LP1 Late
buying of cotton futures stemmed
declining tendencies today and left
final prices 2 points lower to S
higher.
Most important weekend factor,
brokers said. was the government
weather forecast for generally fair
conditions in cotton growing states
throughout next week. Above nor
NAL temperatures were rated favor
ably and attracted speculative and
professional selling.
Last-minute demand from spot
houses, however, outweighed the
liquidation and prices Of distant
positions turned abruptly upward as
offerings dwindled.
At the close, observers noted,
prices were off more than a dollar
a bale from mid-week largely, they
said. because of favorable crop in.
dications.
At the opening today the market
followed the lower prices set by
Bombay a few points on foreign
and southern pressure.
Worth street reported disappoint-
ing textile business for the week.
Only limited sales were made to con-
