BUYING MOVEMENT
IS MOKE EXCITED,
AND PRICES GO UP
NEW YORK, May 16.—The buying move*
mant became avan mora activa and excited
lh th2 cotton market today and there was
an aavama ot mora than |X.|0 per bale
above last night's closing f if urea. July con
tracts, for Instance, sold at *1.(17 «r 67 points
above yesterday’s final quotation, compar
Inf with 11.90 the low level reached on
the break of February 1st, and *1.60 the
previous hlfh record established toward tna
and of last November. That delivery closed
at 2L.fl with the general list closlnf very
steady at a net advance of 28 to 61 points.
The market was firm from the opening,
with buylnf stimulated by the more optimis
tic vliw of the submarine situation. Liver
pool attributed a sharp advance there to
covering against cotton sunk, a continued
good spot demand and a continental buying
of new crops. The local market opened firm
at an advance of 18 to 29 points, with all
deliveries selling above the atf-cent elvel for
the first time this season. There was a
good deal of realising, Liverpool sold some
cotton here on the differences, and there
may have been some selling for a reaction.
Offerings were very well absorbed on com
paratively moderate reactions, however, and
the bull movement became more excited
following the reports of a bullish private
condition estimate. October sold up to 21.82,
December to 21.40 with the general list
showing net advances of 60 to 67 points.
Fluctuations were very Irregular during
the last half hour, but reactions were partly
recovered with the market closing only
4 or 6 points off from the best. Southern
spot firms were scredited with covering
hedgos In old crop months during the morn
ing, either against sales of spots or margin
calls, and there was also talk of trade buy
ing as a hedge In new crop months. Some {
houses with Southern connections were sell
ers on the advance, however, an'* there was
considerable reactionary sentiment around
the ring late In the afternoon.
N. O. COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. LA., May 25.—In the |
cotton market togay contract prices rose to j
the highest levels ever recorded here, July
sel'^ng up to 21.25 cents a pound. At tho
same time, spot prices rose to the highest
levels In over fifty years, middling being
quoted at 21.05 cents, on the largest single
day's transactions In nearly twenty years.
Total sales were 18.894 bales and they In
cluded one sale of 14,200 bales of hedged
cotton which was the largest single sale
ever put through In this market. The sum
Involved was approximately 91,500,000.
Much higher Liverpool prices than ex
pected started the advance on the opening
and the market gained strength as the day
progressed, partly on the good spot accounts
and partly on expectations of a very low
condition report from the government car
rying the crop down to today. A private
bureau put the per csntage at only 70 and
If the government confirms this figure a
new low record for May 25th will be estab
lished.
Around the opening the market gained 24
to 30 points and the gain was gradually
widened until late In the session, the trad
ing months were 52 to 65 points up. Last
prices showed a net gain of 44 to 47 points.
The tone on the close was officially quoted
stead)'. Weather conditions over the belt
were decidedly Improved, but they had no
effect against values.

NEW YORK, May 25.—Bradstreets* will
i say:
j Distributive trade lags under check reins
imposed by Inordinately high prices, par
! tlcularly of food, unseasonably cold weather
; and the practice of economy, but the co|jn
; try’s leading industries, confronted as they
are by demands that seem Insatiable, pro
I ceed to new high ground, while the crop
, situation has taken on a better color, and
i the stock market reflects more confident
I optimism. Moreover, evidence developing
from day to day Indicates that the Indus
tries instead of getting a respite from over
whelming activity will undergo further
straining to care for the needs of the war.
The Iron, steel, textile, fuel, lumber, ship
building and machinery trades looms large in
point of activity, with the signs pointing to
even greater pressure. Car shortages still
cause complaint, the lumber, flour milling
and coal Industries being especially ham
pered. Bank clearings 15,619,698,000. an In
crease of 20.9 per cent over last year.

New levels were reached on spot cotton
In Montgomery Friday. The local spot mar
ket advanced 17 points, carrying the price
of middling to an even 21 cents as com
pared with 20.8S on Thursday's close. In
New Orleans, spots soared 81 points. Con
currently. futures also were active and addi
tional advances were noted.
Increased demands for the staple wae
thought by most of the cotton people of
this city to be behind the steady Hen or
price. Speculation, it 1* believed, may have
some Influence, but the fact that the United
States ia at war and neede colt°n for JJJ*
manufacture of supplies Is regarded asi the
most potent factor. The sensational rise In
Liverpool ^contributed toward spurring t no
market Award Friday, according to telo
graphlo reports Weather developments
aver night were favorable. The map
showed cloudy and warmer weather’ the

WEEKLY COTTON
NEW YORK, May 25.—The cotton market
haa shown Increased strength and activity
during the last week, with both old and new
crop deliveries making new high records
for the season. The buying movement,
which began ear'ler in the month on renewed
confidence In the Russian situation, has
steadily broadened on the advance, which
carried July contracts up to 21.57 this after
noon, and October to 21.32 or 912.65 to
914.76 above the low level of May 9. The
more recent buying ha* been stimulated
by the continued absence of spot pressure,
the more optimistic view of submarine con- .
dltions and an apparently growing fear con- |
cernlng the new crop. Much of the buying |
has been attributed to Wall Street and west- i
ern interests, but trade buying has also
been reported on the advance. This has i
been credited partly to covering hedges |
against sales of spots In the South and part
ly to the purchase of hedges against sales
for forward delivery to mills. Japanese and !
Russian Interests have been mentioned In j
connection with the buying of new crop de
liveries, while the expectation of very large j
domestic requirements has been promoted by 1
reports of Increaesd activity In the goods j
trade. Exports have continued light and |
the strength of Liverpool has been made
the basis for forecasts of a bulge In the
outward movement next month. While
weather conditions In the South have been
considered more favorable, the buying was
rendered even more aggressive during to
day’s trading by a private bullish condition
estimate. Reactionary sentiment has de
veloped several times during the week and
there have been frequent though compara
tively moderate setbacks under realising.
The latest figures on llnters Indicating a
crop of over 1,200,000 bales attracted little
attention.

SHEPARD & GLUCK
(Over W. K. C»mpb«iri Private Wire.)
NEW ORLEANS. LA.. May 25.—The ien
national rise In Liverpool sent the Amer
ican markets to new high levels today and
completely offset the effect of improved
weather conditions over the belt. The Eng
lish market plainly Is alarmed over the
small stock It holds and its greatly reduced
imports and this feeling was Intensified by
the report of another steamer being sunk
with cotton aboard which necessitated hur
ried covering, owing to th’e fact that both
Saturday and Monday are holidays In the
English market.
The rise here was kept going by a private
bureau report showing a condition of only
70 per cent of the normal and speaking
of a decrease In the acreage, the entire
belt considered. Today ends the first con
dition report of the season, the figures on
which will be Issued next Friday, the first
day of June. The report will compars with
77.5 on May 26 a year ago. 80 two years
ago and 74.8 three years ago. The lowest
condition on record for May 25 Is 70.6 made
in 1907. Up to last year, the ten year aver
age Is 79.1. If today's private report Is
confirmed by the government, a new low
record will be established. Extreme bulls
are confident that this will happen.
The market has ^ad a long advance and
Is now, on some months as well as on spots,
at the highest of the season. In view of
this we advocate buying only on good breaks
and taking profits on the bulges.

AGAIN FEATURE IN
FINANCIAL MARKET
NSW YORK, Mar 15.—Industrial stacks
wers again tbs striking fsatursa of today's
extremely actlvs market. United States Steel
being the pivot around which trading most
often evolved. Steel reoorded the new maxi
mum of 1S4 at an extreme advance of 1%
points, and closed at a very slight recession
from the top.
Almost the entire list of equipments, mu
nitions, metals, shippings, oils and many
unclassified Issues followed in the wake of
steel. That stock was dealt In to the ex
tent of 410,000 shares, or about IS per cent
of the day's dealings
There were frequent pauses and Irregular
recessions, but almost every setback gave
way to a fresh buying wave which sent quo
tations higher than before. Profit taking
or realizing exercised little effect until the
final hour, when some of the more spec
ulative Issues yielded 1 to 2 points.
Public participation was a factor of no
small Importance. The leading commission ;
houses had many overnight orders, these
again emanating, according to report, from j
interior centers.
The heaviness of rails constituted almost;
the sole drawback to the day's bullish opera- ;
tlons. Delaware and Hudson had a recur- i
rent*spell of weakness, falling over 5 points,
but making up half o{ Its loss. Other stock* I
of that division suffered Irregular declines
with coalers. The latter were depressed
on further intimations of forthcoming Fed- j
oral price regulation. I
High priced specialties were In fair de- |
maud, Sears-Roebuck advancing almost 8
points, Union Bag and Paper • and Indus
trial Alcohol S&. Motors denoted short
covering and sugars also Improved for the
same technical reason. Total sales amount
#d to 1,700,000 shares.
Payments by this government of 8150,800,- !
000 to Great Britain and Italy represented
credits already granted to both countries
and effected no alteration In exchange rates
to London or Rome. Francs were a trifle
higher and rub lea reacted slightly.
The activity of Lackawanna Steel bonds
at an advance of 8 points was chief Incident
In the steady bond market. Total sales,
par value, aggregated 84.150,080.
United States and Panama bonds ruled
k lo 1 point lower on call.

Initial trading, prices showed a temporary

offset.

COFFEE MARKET
NEW YORK. May 25.—The market for
coffee futures waa very quiet again today
with prices holding fairly steady in sym
pathy with the ruling of Brasil. There was
some talk that the proposed plan of war
taxation might be modified, but nothing
definite enough developed in that connec
tion to inspire fresh ventures, and sales for
the day amounted to only 7,000 bags. The
opening was unchanged to 8 points lower
under a little scattering liquidation, but the
offerings were soon absorbed and rallies of
2 to 8 points followed, December advancing
from 8.48 to 8.45. The close was 1 point
net lower.
