Canadian Pa cific led in a general upturn at the open ing of the stock market today. It was over last night's closing. This was chiefly due to Berlin and London buying. The effect of a Roosevelt victory in New Jersey had been discounted. It had no appreciable effect upon the market. Buy ing from Europe was the chief factor. ITosperts of a government investiga tion of the proposed increased price of anthracite coal had no appreciable effect. Reading gained ’ 2 . Erie common opened unchanged, bus advanced The coppers were firm.

NEW YORK. May 28—Carpenter, Bag got & Co.: Spot people buying and short covering causing advance. Selling scat tered. Dallas, Texas, wires: “Texas, western portion clear; balance generally cloudy: high south winds; cooled. Oklahoma, generally cloudy and cooler.” Special reports to The Journal of Com merce on crop conditions. North Carolina—Cold wet weather re tarded planting ten to fifteen days and much cotton is not yet up. Reductions in acreage are moderate and no reports of replanting are heard. Cool nights have retarded growth, but stands, where ob tained. are generally excellent. But few r compiaints have come Hi so far, and per centage condition w’ill probably figure out quite as good as last year. Prospects are quite up to the average. South Carolina On account of wet weather plantinfg was much delayed and the crop is ten to fifteen days late*. Cot ton is not yet all planted, and some cor respondents consider it too early to es timate acreage or condition with any ac curacy. Soil has been poorly prepared, but two weeks of favorable weather has allowed work to progress satisfactorily, and estimates of percentage condition compare favorably with last year, when ft was 74%. Early planted cotton shows good stands, and the plant is generally healthy. Conservative estimates of acre age reckon on a 5 to 10% reduction, but there are quite a few correspondents who anticipate higher percentage. Florida Heavy rains have injured the prospects in the low lands and the out look at present is rather poor. Following are 11 a. m. bids: July 11. On. October 1119. December 11.28. January 11.24. NEW ORLEANS. May 28.—Hayward & Clark: Weather developments continue very favorable. The map shows very favorable conditions. Partly cloudy to fair; general showjK n the Atlantlcs. In dications are fe. cloudiness generallyy, probably some scattered showers, cooler in the western belt. New Orleans Tinies-Democrat. Neither the Federal government. The Tinies-Dem ocrat nor any other recognized authority has found it possible to gather accurate information concerning the 1912 cotton acreage so early in June. Nevertheless, in spite of the backwardness of the crop and the fact that planting is not yet fin ished, bearish operators generally accept ed a rumor to the effect that a Memphis man had guessed, would guess or may guess the condition as 79.4. and the acre age as 7% decrease, and a tangible bit of gospel such as is usually accepted by the elect, and acted accordingly. However, the long promised avalanche of selling cost the price only about $1 a bale. The weather continues favorable and the weather man promises warm weather and showers during the week. Such a com bination will help the plant. It will also give rise to a further bearish confidence, and within a day or two talk of declines •>n legitimate influences may become gen eral. Under these circumstances the claim will be made that levels low enough to attract fresh trade buyers alone will suffice. z DAILY WEATHER REPORT.

The report of The Journal of Commerce on the two Carolinas was distinctly bet ter than the trade expected. It was reported here this morning that the national glnners' condition and acre age forecast, is only to May 16, but there is" nd confirmation of this statement. Our market recovered about. 10 points this morning on demand attracted by yesterday's depression and scarcity of 1 sellers due to anticipation of a bullish weekly weather report, which is expected to speak of high temperatures in the 1 Western states.

May 28 —Despite reports from Washington that the proposed in crease in anthracite prices is to be inves tigated by the government the hard coal carrying and owning railroads were among the strongest stocks at the open ing of the market today. Valley opened % higher, and within fifteen min utes Its aggregate gain over last night's closing was 1%. Reading rose %. Balti more and Ohio made a similar gain. Trading was quiet and prices moved in slight variations. Some stocks ranged higher through an absence of supply rath er than because of increased demand Canadian Pacific opened al 263% for a loss of %, but later rallied and in fif teen minutes had risen to 264%. The New York traction stocks were firm. Interborough .Metropolitan opened at 60%, a gain of %. 1.". S. Steel was up %. Amalgamated Copper was up %. Erie common was % higher. Tlie curb was easier v Adjustment in Canadian Pacific caused dullness and declines in that issue in the London market. Americans in London were steady. Irregularity marked the trading in the late forenoon. International Harvester was active and strong, advancing 3 points, and a gain of more than a point was made in Lehigh Valley. Pittsburg Coal was fairly active and strong. A few special ties were under pressure, however, Amer ican Tobacco declining 3 points. The Hill stocks were active The earlier dullness became more pro nounced as the session advanced and in the afternoon trading was at a complete standstill. The public was not represent ed, and with the little business that was done was in the nature of switching of contracts by the professional floor ele ment. The market closed dull but steady.

A few showers were reported in southeastern Kansas and northern Nebraska and Mis souri, Illinois and tlie Northwest. Corn was % to %c higher for the list, ami this, too, in the face of a sharp drop at Liverpool. Oats were %c higher to %c lower. Hog products showed but little change. Following a sharp early slump on weak cables and general rains in Illinois and the Southwest, there was a sharp upturn on bad crop reports. Realizing sales on the upturn caused a moderate reaction and final prices showed net gains of %c on July. 1c on September, while Mav dosed with a net decline of 1 %c, the low point for the day. While corn was weak, early prices ral lied late in the session on a good demand. "ats opened weak, and, like corn, strengthened late on good buying. Provisions closed higher on a good de mand generally credited to Western pack ers. Comparatively, trade was of moder ate volume. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. ®pen. High. Low. Close. Close.
