NEW ORLEANS, April 20.—(JP)—
A decline of over $1.50 a bale fol
lowed continued near month liquid
ation and selling on the les* Unfa
vorable weather in the belt than
expected in the cotton market to
day and prices were on the down
grade throughout the short session.
July sold off to $19.14 and closed at
that figure for a net lc s of 32
points. The general market closed
easy at a net decline of 23 to 32
points.
Offerings were moderately heavy
for most of the session, prices mak
ing new lows in final trading when
May sold at $19.10, July $19.14, Oc
tober $19.13, and December $19.17,
or 29 to 32 points net down. Final
prices were at the lowest.

NEW YORK, April 20.—(JP)—A
continuance of good weather in the
south and relatively easy Liverpool
cables seemed chiefly responsible
for further declines in cotton today.
July contracts sold off to 19.23 and
closed at that figure, while May
broke below the 20-cent level, cols
ing at $19.90. The general market
closed easy at net declines of 22
to 29 points.
The opening was steady at a de
cline of 6 to 9 points in response to
tcuihe lower Liverpool cables. Trade
iifferests continued to buy May on
a scale down, but closing prices were
the lowest of the day on most po
sitions with new October contracts
selling at $19.25. At the close May,
contracts were selling 67 points over
July or at the same difference as at
the close of the previous day.
Private cables reported a renewal
of local and foreign liquidation in
the Liverpool market influenced by
the reports of favorable weather in
the south but said the decline there
had been checked by trade calling.
Cotton on shipboard awaiting
clearance at the end of the week
was estimated at 109,000 bales,
against 102,000 last year.

SHARP UPTURNS
IN LIVESTOCK
Fairly- Broad Demand For
All Classes of Cattle;
Sheep Steady
KANSAS CITY, April 20.—(A3)—
(U. S. D. A.)—Livestock trade
around the 11-market circuit this
week was featured by a fairly broad
demand for most all classes of
cattle. Fed steers and yearlings are
closing steady to unevenly higher,
most all points showing material
gains on the lighter weights of
steers and yearlings. Sharp up
turns were registered on slaughter
cows. Stocker and feeder classes
were on a firm to 25c higher basis.
Aggregate receipts were around
195.900, an increase of 33,000 over
last week.
Fat lamb prices advanced the first
four days of the week despite the
fact that receipts were liberal, but
on Friday packers enforced sharp
declines. Current values are un
evenly steady to 25c higher than a
week ago. The supply aoproxi
mated 328,200 against 279,149 last
week.
Total offerings of hogs were
around 493.200 an increase of 60.000
over last week and 40.000 heavier
than a year ago. The practical top
i on the close at Chicago was $11.65.
MOTOR SHARES
TURN HEAVY
Hudson Earnings Fail To
Offset Fear of Over
production
NEW YORK, April 20.—(IP}—Bulls
again staged a demonstration on the
stock market in today’s abbreviated
session, but with the federal re
serve advisory council’s unexpected
meeting in Washington, and the
critical stage reached by the rep
arations conference, they were un
able to attract a following.
Prices worked irregularly higher,
as week-end liquidation was readily
absorbed, but total sales aggregated
only 1,292,310 shares. The credit
situation was regarded more opti
mistically, with the recent ease in
time money, and bankers looked for
fairly comfortable conditions next
week.
The day’s business news largely
affected the automobile industry.
The department of commerce re
ported a new high record output of
584,733 machines in March, which
caused some uneasiness over the
possibility of over-production. This
uneasiness was not entirely dissi
pated as a market factor by the
record earnings by Hudson for the
first quarter.
American Telephone and Bethle
hem Steel were again sent up to
new high prices, the latter in antici
pation of the first quarter earnings
report next week.
Merchandising shares also were In
demand, Montgomery Ward, Wool
worth, Sears Roebuck. Childs and
Frank G. Shattuck making substan
tial gains. Some cf the amusement
shares were again well bought.
Motors turned heavy, Graham
Paige dropping 3 points to 33, a new
low for the year. Chrysler, Hupp,
Marmon and General motors
sagged. Hudson and Packard were
steady.
Foreign exchanges were quiet, as
traders awaited the turn of affairs
at the reparations conference Mon
day.

WHEAT PRICES '
HIT NEW LOW
Widespread Rains In Heart
Of Belt Forecasts
Record Yield
CHICAGO. April 20.—<yF)—Wheat
prices lurched heavily downward to
day, and went under any level here
j tofore reached this season. Wide
spread rains in domestic winter
wheat territory giving promise of a
big yield were largely responsible,
together with reports of dissension
in the Canadian Growers’ pool and
with dearth of European call for
shipments from North America.
Closing quotations on wheat were
nervous, 7-8c to 1 5-8c net lower.
Corn finished l-4c to 7-8c down,
oats l-4c to 5-8c off, and provisions
at setbacks varying from a shade
to 15c.
Lowest prices for the day and for
the season as well were reached in
the last few minutes of wheat trad
ing. The market was affected by
reports of heavy rains promoting
wheat growth especially in Kansas,
Oklahoma and Nebraska. Later the
downward course of the market was
accelerated by word that internal
difficulties in the Canadian pro
ducers organization had become ap
parent, and that three leading of
ficials of the pool had been dis
charged.
