THF. ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, MONDAY, APRIL 21.1913. Breaking o Mississippi Levee Causes Short Covering Move ment in Closing Hour. Xi.'W i’ORK, April 21.—Liquidation waR less in uvidenoe at the opening of • ne qton market to-day and first prices ^ er >. i point higher to 3 points off from Saturday 8 iinal. May and July Mtfain reversed positions and steadied market This brought out a wave to rt covering. Early loss was quick ie retrieved and the list showed a -wady undertone. There was a great deal of July on , ,,[1,1 at the outset, around 11.60. Con- tinued buying around this level gave market an advancing tendency, re citing in Maj rallying to 11.66. July vanced 9 points to 11.69. The remote ptions were relatively firm and gained t,. 7 points from the opening range. The buying was in the face of excel- ...nt crop advices and favorable weather levelopments over Sunday. But the urge spot houses played for a reaction ii the theory that there has been noth ing but bearish news up to this time and was time to look for something on contrary. During the forenoon Wall Street was gainst the market and liquidated heav ily. Liverpool sold and also the ring rowd, while Memphis was reported a buyer. I^ater May showed weakness, which ought out considerable selling from nany prominent sources. This carried u* entire list back to the initial level. The May option was under heavy sell- .ng pressure during the late forenoon i ud showed further recession of 6 points from the opening. The weakness in May causing hesitation on the part of muse inclined to the bull side and later positions held steady around the open ing prices. Brokers who were closely identified with the spot interests were moderate buyers throughout the day, but senti ment was against the market and prices failed to bulge from the start. There was nothing to create a scare among shorts. Liverpool is said to have sold fully ; .000 bales here to-day. Price movement during the afternoon • ssion was practically unchanged from the opening, except May, which sus tained the sharp decline. A telegram received from Greenville, Miss., stating that a levee had broken at Glen Allan, Miss., 25 miles below on .tne Mississippi side, checked the selling to a great extent, resulting in May re gaining the early loss. Shorts were active buyers, causing the market to dose very steady with prices at a net advance of 4 to 7 points from the clos ing quotations of Saturday. RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTURES.
