1$ New York, April .10.?According to
?ollnble correspondents In Europe the
week's conspicuous buoyancy on the
Budapest Bourse was caused by ;i
Concerted rush to covey by frightened
Sshort sellers, their alarm growing out
if pessimistic reports regarding pros?
pects for the crop in both Hungary
Ind Roumanla. In parts of the lutter
pountry it is claimed tbat many acres
d}ust be replowod. Although the
grhanges In other European markets
Svere. unimportant, still they generally
Exhibited a moderate, degree of flrm
Tness, owing in good part to the light
Clearances for the week from the prin?
cipal exporting countries and the ap?
preciable reduction in the floating
^Imlk.
'A Another buying stimulus abroad
'?fwas the poor showing of the Gerlnaji ]
|:rppi which, ncconling to the official j
report, had a condition of 70 per cent, i
3n April 15, or 10 points lower than '
tt the same time last year. Keports
irom Russia also nlluded to unsatis?
factory prospects.
Tbc Question of Supply.
In addition, there was a material
decrease In the world's available sup?
ply. 6,58-1,000 bushels, against 5.252.000
bushels a year ago. Under ordinary
circumstances this array of bullish
Iforclgn factors might naturally bp
expected to exert a stimulating in?
fluence in our markets, but in this
Instance they were lost Figo. of. at
least temporarily, been use the ntten-..
tlon of the great majority of domes-I
} tic speculators was attracted almost
! exclusively by the developments as to
! the May deal In Chicago. I"or the
I time being the effect of practically nil
'.bullish factors was offset y heavy
liquidations by holders of Chicago May
contracts, such desire to sell out mak?
ing it plain to all that there was a
general disposition to fight shy of the
urinal cash property.
Moreover, many who were thus
throwing o'er their May were taking
( .inly or September Instead, and hence
' there was a speedy lessening of the
price differ/'iu e between the old and
new crop deliveries. In New York,
for Instance, the nearby contracts
were soon selling at 3-S5M-2 cents,
under July, whereas, on last Saturday
Just the reverse was ..\e case.
Meanwhile. the 3-cent premium
?which existed on May in Chicago dur?
ing the previous week was reduced
to 2 cents, in short order. No doubt
there would have been a more Im?
portant drop in prices In our markets!
had It not been for the Mg reduction
In our visible supply, which made the
total BIS.00II bushels smaller than at
the same time in 1010. which condi?
tion has not existed In several
months. As an offset to this, however,
the movement to primary points show
cd moderate enlargement, and at the
same time tho climatic conditions
wore satisfactory In tbc greater part
of the spring and winter 'wheat re?
gions. Dependable authorities in
spring wheat -.tntes report that the
seeding for the new .crop is almost
entirely completed.
When I'rlees Turned.
A somewhat steadier tone develop?
ed in the last half of the week, and
while the price movement was still
narrow, a partial recovery took place.
In this market May took the lead in
the upward movement, advancing on
a fairly brisk demand from shorts,
whose nervousness was traceable to
additional fairly large sales of No. 2
red to exporters. Anotner buying
stimulus wns the fact that Liverpool
I showed unexpected strength, being af?
fected partly by tho limited ship?
ments from Argentina, together with
I an Important reduction in that coun?
try's visible supply. Moreover,
clearances from Australia and India
were also disappointing, leading lo
predictions of n comparatively light
world's toial exports and another ma?
terial decrease in the quantity alloat.
What llnppriird In t orn,
inactivity and narrowness were
about the only features In corn mar?
kets during ...<-? greater part of the
1 week. Occasionally, however, a some?
what firmer feeling was In evidence,
owing to a moderately bi-^k demand
from shorts, some showing anxiety
to cover on nccotint of tho material
decrease in the visible supply and the
fair Inquiry In ensh markets from
both domestic and foreij-.. dealers. De?
mand was also quickened partly by
tue fact that the wet weather In the
corn belt has retarded seeding. At
times, advices from foreign markets
were also stimulating, prices advancing
in Europe because of the buoyancy In
Buenos Ay rest with additional corro
boratlon of recent claims that Argen?
tina could be counted on to supply
little or no corn to Europe during the
coming cereal year. It was not sur?
prising, therefore, that European buy?
ers sent more orders to dealers In our
markets. In spile of the fnct that
limits were higher In most cases, it.
was practically Impossible to secure
any important quantities as supplies
were Insignificant, with holders de?
cidedly strong.
As far as domestic oats were con?
cerned there was little animation,
prices beinc Irregular and Just about
steady as supplies are abundant and
the prospects for (he new crop salts
factory. There was a much stronger
tone in Winnipeg, however, prices
moving upward sharply on account of
additional heavy sales to exporters
for shipment via Montreal at opening
of navigation.
SPECULATORS ARE
IN CAUTIOUS MOOD
I New York. April 30.?Day to day con
t trasts in the stock market last week
? threw little llghi on the speculative
i sentiment expressed In the operations.
?i By comparison with the previous week
.i it was possible to discern n distinct
?j movement of recovery and a subsidence
?! In the rate of activity, but not to tho
lj almost stagnant level of the market
preceding the Easter adjournment. Tn
the bond division there occurred
another revival of demand and tin-ward
?tendency of prices, comparable to that
of the opening of the yonr. The benr
ing of this bond revival upon the im?
mediate speculative outlook received
l n mixed interpretation, but as to Its
s-olld advantage to the longer outlook
there was no division of sentiment.
This movement may he ascribed
largely .to accummulatlon of bank re?
sources In the reserve centres, and this
' again Is a consequence of diminished
demands for credits which nrgues a
lessened trade activity. Advices In re.
gard to some of the leading industries,
notably steel and textile, are confirm?
atory of this Implication. On the other
B hand, lower prices of commodities now
helng\markr-ted account for part of the
lessened* requirements for banking cre?
dits, while serving as a corrective of
1ho high cost of living, the restricting
effect of which was complained of last
year.
Features of the bond market Includ?
ed new issues of railroad bonds of
longer maturities, making an Improve?
ment over the preceding conditions of
reliance on short term notes.
The dealings in existing bond Issues
shown tho preference for high grade
securities. Indicating a desirrs for
safely rather than Insistence on high
Interest return. Part explanation of
tills was found in the fact that buying
was said to come from Institutions
whose investments are restricted by
law.
News of genernl conditions wns suf?
ficiently mixed to account for the cau?
tious mood of speculation. The quar?
terly net earnings of the United States
Steel Corporation showed a sharp mar?
gin of deficiency from the predictions
most generally accepted in the slock
market. The progressive lncrense
shown In the three mouths of the quar?
ter waa regarded as encouraging, hut
this was neutralized by tho reports
that average, daily orders in April had
contracted materially from the March
average, while blast furnace capacity
also had been reduced. The lowering
of Iron ore prices had the effect of
further disturbing the stability of steel
markets and of keeping alive rumors
of price cutting. Reports of price re?
ductions of copper wore moro spoclfic
nnd were coupled with unverified
rumors of large sales.
Reports of railroad earnings for
March Indicated success in tho cutting
down of running expenses, and cor?
responding henellt to the values of
railroad shares resulted. A compre?
hensive sustaining lnllnence Is found
In the assertion of a grain trade au?
thority that "there Is n degree of uni?
formity of fnvoralileness In the cur?
rent crop correspondence that has been
rarely ?equaled."
CROP IS ENTERING
CRITICAL PERIOD
'.fJew Orleans, April 30.?It will be a
?weither marke; this week, lor the crop
Is now entering upon a critical period.
The time has almost come when plant?
ing must he accomplished, or else the
Idea of a full acreage. In some States
jnust be abandoned. I-'or over two
v.-eeks too much rain has fallen, and
the. crop in some localities will start
late. Should rains continue much
Icr.ger the setback they will give will
!><? serious.
The last week ended with prospects
of rain over the entire cotton belt. If
the weBther map rellects much rain
i when the market opens, prices will he
I lorced promptly to higher levels. There
are many bullish traders who predict
33',* cents for December with another
week of wet weather In tho cotton
l.elt.
Should tho weather clear and stay
fair for any length of time, planting
will be rushed to completion, and fu?
tures immediately will reflect the fa?
vorable turn in the si tun t Ion. Bearish
traders contend that the lateness ol
planting In Itself is not a vital mat?
ter, and claim that It could be delayed
until May IB without affecting the acre?
age. The bulls grant this, tint point
cut that h late crop Is peculiarly liable
, to attack from the boll weevil, and also
j lias less chance of escaping frost In
lne fall. Both rides will watch weath?
er account a sharply this week.
Probably thero will be less genernl
? interest In the July position than there
l lias been since It became an active
f Uior.th. This will be due to the liquida?
tion of outside holdings, it ip pretty
well established that the bulls have a
ftecurc hold on July, and outsiders will
avoid it heraus? of their fear of ma?
nipulation. The average professional
traders will enter the July po.Mtlon
only on a nr.aip. Trading in August
undoubtedly will Increase tbrougn
Mraddlc trading between that month
(;ind October.
Th* malo?ta.v of tho market? for a|
Jong time lins been the English trodo
situation, and the opening prices each
day this wek will be Influenced largely
by the changes over night in U vor pool
quotations. Reports from Manchester
will be eagerly looked for. and the
first sign of any letting up in business
will be the slgntil for fresh onslaughts
by the bears, while the bulls will he en?
couraged to put old crop prlceR tip If
trade accounts continue favorable.
The new crop months will increase
In activity this week, as the week-end
market circulars from the majority ol
commission houses continued advices
to switch from the old to the new crop.
DRY GOODS REVIEW

WITH NEW RECORDS
Cotton Market Mounts Steadily With But Single
Halt?Continuance of Bullish Features
Starts Buying Movement.
New York. April 2ft?With but a
l Binde halt, the cotton market mounted
steadily ibis week, establishing new
[ inn record levels for all options al?
most every day. From a price of 14.91
I on Monday. May cotton rpsc to 15.22
yesterday, while duly went up from
In.lll In 16.3S; and August from 1-1.7(5
to 14.01. In the other mouths tits ad?
vance was more abrupt during the first
half of the week. October options!
hounding from' |2.?S on Monday, to
i:i.:u on Wednesday, while December I
went from 12.Sil to i:i.:)2. From these I
high figures there was a partial re?
action, which resulted in the later
months' options closing below the best'
levels of the. week, whereas, the near- j
er months finished at an absolute maxi- j
mum. .Spot cotton closed the week at
IS.35, a price unmatched s'nee the 20
1 cent level of last September.
' Throughout the week the buying
was in large volume, with each day's I
'news lilted to the daily fluctuations.
Business on the Cotton Exchange was
more active than at any time in three
months, being supported by the con?
tinuance of a good demand from Eng?
lish and Continental spinners, and ac?
tive bullish trading In futures at Liv?
erpool. '
Why l'rlce? Have Advnncrri.
The principal reasons for the un?
broken strength have been simply a
continuance of the bullish features
which startled the general buying
movement early In the month. Tlte.se
have been Intons'lied lately by the
failure of 15-cent cotton to induce
those holding the unsold balance of
the crop In the South l-> offer it to any
extent. Moreover, the Southern mar?
kets for spots have followed the rise '
here and at Liverpool so closely that
the small stock of contract cotton here,
Instead of being increased for the pro?
tection of the shorts, has continued to
show a steady falling off because of
shipments to foreign spinners and New
England mills.
This stock is now down to llta.OOO
bnlcs, ngainst 111.not) at the opening
of the week. 157.000 on April 1: 2S0.O0O
in February, and 191,Ono a year ago.
There seems to be little cotton point?
ing this way from the Smth. and it
is rumored that 50,ono bales of iho
present stock here is lo be exported
early next month. As middling cotton
is now quoted on tho Southern spot
markets at prices ranging from 15 1-4
to 15 5-8. and as It costs five-quar?
ters of a cent to bring cotton here, the
qnesl'on is now being asked In the
trade, how are the shorts In the May.
duly and August options fto settle?
Prr*en< Speculative Condition.
Yesterday was tho (irst day of no?
tices for deliveries on May contracts
In this market. About 40,000 Issued
at the opening were promptly snapped
tip by operators, who have been trad?
ing on the bull s'dc. Those Interested
'?ft the upward movement do not. con?
template anything like n squeeze or
corner in the summer months, oven
though they may have It in their pow?
er to engineer such an event. There is
no signed pool agreement among any
of the operators, who are said to be
working Independently, though along
the same lines. The bel'ef that we
have over-exported, and will soon ex?
perience a shortage of cotton, leading
to forced mill curtailment, is the
foundation of the hull'sh operations.
Mills now appear lo be running on the
basis of about 70 per cent, of capac?
ity, as against 90 per cent, to full time
of tlie English and German spinners.
ITbe small amount of tho crop brought
into sight this week shows how little
cotton Is moving out from the South
into sight. Estimates of the world's
spinners" takings of American cotton
for this week at 180,000 bales. against
shipments of 61,000, indicate how
rapidly cotton Is still going out of
sight.
It Is the statistical position of the
staple, with the aosorption abroad of
large quantities of cotton, which more
than offsets our poor trade conditions.
Manipulation has had little part ill the
advance.
A Uli crop of 14.000,000 bales would
make up the shortage In the world's
visible supplys of American cotton
from the last two crops, and restore
the normal as regards both available
supplies for sp nners' needs and the
normal range of prices. Titus far there
has probably been less than fin per
cent, of the total crop planted, and no
growing months of .Mine. July and
crop estimates are yet possible. The
character of the weather during the
August will have more to do with
making the ctop than the record
breaking acreage.
IRON AND STEEL
New York. April .10.?'"the ste?l mills
reported a sudden and unexpected In?
crease in orders for railroad equip?
ment and supplies received In the last
two or three days, making the total
for last week nearly 70.000 tons, and
for the month of April 152.000 tons.
Export business was less. Railroad or?
ders for locomotives and cars were
larger. Including ninety-three engines
for the .Southern Railroad, but for the
month of April the equipment showing
was a poor one. Bridge orders were
especially light. Among the features
of Interest in the structural line was
the awarding of the steel contract. S.000
ions, for the Continental Eire Insur?
ance building, New York City, to Mllll
ken Brothers. Bids -.vent In on 80,000
tons of steel shapes for the elevated
extensions, and plans for the Hell Gate
bridge, now In the. hands of fabricators,
call for 35.000 ions. Building contracts
placed during the week aggregated only
16.000 tons, but for the month of April
they were iiO.000 tons.
Although the blast furnace output
was cut down 5 per cent, by the steel
companies in a week, the decrease in
finishing mill capacity was less.
The pig iron situation continued dis?
couraging to producers, with the local
volume of business In all distributive
districts scarcely 50,000 tons.
