Active Securities {By The Associated Press) t Trading in stocks yesterday assumed ; ? more speculative phase, the hea\-y dea?ipgs being largely restricted to ?/?Condary industrials, minor equip? ments and specialities, with a sprink? ling of utilities. Conservative interests, having in ; j-r.d the many recent reactions in the n-arkst, teemed disposed to look on, ?pending a settlement of the revenue ? isx controversy and more careful pe nisal of the British Permicr*s Edin- ; b.r?h address. The conflicting gossip and reports regarding Washington's attitude tow- ! ard tax k.cislation provoked the sharp setback of the last hour, leaders ?breaking 2 to 4 r_int., after gains of i as much. Reils of the better class moved j within comparatively narrow limits at : best, and United States Steel, tfhich spened auspiciously, failed to rise more ? then 1*4 points, but fell away rapidly, to _07jt, and a net loss of 1%. During the morning and mid-session *he independent steels, notably Colo tado Fuel, Sloss-Sheflteld, Republic Iron and Great Northern Ore, displayed marked activity and strength with ' Baldwin Locomotive, New York Air I Brake, leathers, oils and tobaccos. Sumatra Tobacco furnished the rea'? sensation of the session, making an ex- i treme gainsof 12 points to the new: maximum of 145. all of which was lost ; after another hurried rout of the shorts. Philadelphia Company, American i Telephone and Pacific Telephone were r.trong utilities, and Industrial Alco? hol, Distillers and the fertilizers again contributed largely to the day's trad- : ing. I Bonds were irregular, with heaviness later. Liberty 4 ,4 s declining to the new : minimum of 97.38. Panama 3s ad- | vanced 2 points on call.

Reports of an | improved trade demand were followed , ? by a sharp advanae which was led by i July. That delivery sold up to 24.32,1 | or 87 points above Thursday's close j |and 125 points above the low level of' , Thursday afternoon. The more urgent i . demand then appeared to have been: : supplied, however, and the market was ! unsettled in the late trading when i sentiment seemed to bo influenced by weakness in the stock market, attrib j uted to reports that legislation provid ! ing increased revenue would be neces i sary at this session of Congress. July ! closed at 23.79, with the general W_t ! closing steady at a net advance of 1 i to 35 points. The market opened firm at an ad? vance of 5 to 42 points on overnight buying orders. After they had been executed prices lost 30 or 35 points under selling, encouraged by the favor? able weather map, but trade interests were buyers on a scale down and prices soon rose again on covering. The | strength of near positions in New Or I leans and reports of an improved spot ' demand seemed to cause July short.. ! nervousness and for a time covering '. was very active. New crop deliveries ! sold 49 to 54 points net higher, but ; met increased offerings at this level, with October breaking from 23.44 to ; 22.85 in the late trading. The close i was 30 to 35 points net higher on the | old crop ^pd 1 to 14 points higher on i new crop positions. A private crop report issued during j the afternoon was in line with an ; earlier weekly report as to acreage. j indicating an increase of between 2 j and 3 per cent. It placed the condi i tion at the ten-year average of 79 per I cent, however, compared with the pre I vious report of 82.4 per cent, which ! may have been a disappointment to ; recent sellers. Reports that several corporations en j gaged in the cotton business had been , seized by the Alien Property Custodian ! attracted much attention, but it was ? the opinion in the trade that no large ! amount of raw cotton was involved. j Except for the hundred bales that are i to be sold here on June 1, no alien j owned cotton remains to be sold in New | York. It is understood that there will ? be sales at some other Eastern points, ? but only small lots. The feature in the ; Southern spot markets was the Houston I market, which reported an advance of , 135 points with sales of 2.157 bales. i The Houston market had been rela ! tively low and there were several wires ; from the Southwest during the day re i porting an improved demand. Exports ! for the day were 43,503 baies.

If the crop ! goes through to harvest without more j than the usual amount of loss, the (chances arc very bright for a yield such j a3 has seldom been experienced. If I this occurs it is hoped that some of I the restrictions in regard to the han? dling of wheat and flour will be re? moved. The food administration, how? ever, has expressed the opinion that America will be called upon to feed Europe throughout the duration of the war, and, if the yield proves a large one, it is thought that exports will increase in propostion. especially if the tonnage situation makes the rapid strides in the way of new construction now be? lieved probable. The movement of wheat at primary points was again small, and little improvement is ex? pected until new wheat is ready for shipment. Corn.?The corn market was stead? ier, closing %c to IVic net higher. The j advance was due largely to covering, and was doubtless the result of some overenthu3iasm on the selling side on Thursday's sharp break. The market was narrow, and'consequently subject to feverish fluctuations both days with? out much regard to the nature of the news. Weather conditions were gen? erally favorable, but heavy rains oc i curred in Iowa, and clear warm weather ' is now desired, to enable farmers to | finish planting and to give the plant | strong and vigorous growth. Cash mar ! ket3 in the West were steady, and this i was reflected in a sharp upturn in the June position, which showed the greatest weakness on Thursday. The Eastern situation was not materially improved, and local cash merchants ? said that it was very difficult to make ' sales in any position. Yesterday's Previous Year New York: close. close. ago.

Opening prices were unchanged to 1 point lower, with the market closing at a net advance of 1 to 3 points. No fresh offers were reported in the cost, and freight market, with indications pointing to nractically unchanged prices. Clearances from Brazil have been rnther larger than expected re? cently and the amount afloat has in? creased, while mild coffees have also been moving quite freely. Prices in futures, however, have worked far enough below maximum figures to ac" as a check on selling, and the liquid?, tion of the last several days nrobabl. has left the market in a steadier techni? cal position.
