NEW ORLEANF, May 1. -The Times-
Democrat says; “Fair weather at home
and a war cloud abroad during the past
few days have made the adverse factors
in the cotton market seem very acute
Yesterday many operators reached the
conclusion that conditions could not
get any worse and that any change must
ne for the better, and some of them
began to look for more hopeful signs.
They found them In the many com
plaints from both the Southwest and
the Southeast. Iti the shape of reports
to the effect that a great deal of cot
ton will have to be replanted. From
this, the bulllshly Inclined talent drew
the deduction that at the end of April
a safe stand is guaranteed nowhere In
the hell, and while it would not he logi
cal to infer therefrom that a large crop
is unlikely, it is logical to infer that
the burden of the proof continues to
rest on the shoulders vd the big crop
people. Then somebody dug up the fact
that October deliveries this year are
new selling some 50 points under Oc
tober last year at this time, and some
body else remembered that October last
year receded sharp gains after this
date. Under the circumstances, new
crop deliveries under 11 cents began to
seem cheap, and had It not been for the
great Importance attached to the Euro
pean war threat growing out of the
Scutari incident, substantial price ad
vances probably would have been
scored.”

CHICAGO, May 1.—There was little
change In any 0/ the grain markets on
‘lie Board of Trade early to-day. The
deliveries on May contracts were about
as looked for. There were 2,000,000
bushels of wheat sent around; 90,000
bushels of corn and 400,000 bushels of
oats. The May option was unchanged,
July and September wmre V*c lower.
The trade in corn wfts larger and the
offerings were quickly absorbed.
May oats sold at 36% to 35}4®35%c;
July at 34\@34% to 55@86%c and Sep
tember at 34%(g35{f36%c.
Provisions were stronger with hogs,
but the trade was small.
Wheat closed around the bottom lev
els to-day and allowed net losses of %
to 8*'. There was an absence of claims
of chinch bugs and other pests in the
wheat fields of the Southwest and there
was an absence of cash business in
w heat here ami at other points. The
wheat market for a time to come at
least will continue to be influenced
largely by the foreign situation.
Corn closed at losses of % to %c and
oats were unchanged to % to %c lower.
Cash sales of wheat w r ere confined to
'(• 0 bushels at Chicago; corn, 105,000,

Wheat Prices may rule a little lower,
but we continue to feel very friendly to

Corn—Country offerings keep moder
ate and stocks are likely to show further
decrease this week. Southwestern mar
kets arc very firm wit hlight receipts.
Oats—Country offerings show little or
no -increase while the shipping demand is
fairly good. The undertone to the mar
ket continues very firm.

CHICAGO, May 1.—Mrs. Marie Da-
s was refused a divorce to-day in
hi r suit against George Ado Davis,
nephew of George Ade, the humorist.
Mrs. Duels charged her husband with
not being sufficiently affectionate and
frequently refusing to kis'- her. The
court made a ruling for separate
maintenance and ordered Davis to pay
his wife $15 a week.
W. M. \V.—It is generally conceded |
by judges of markets and values that}
no prolonged upward movement in
stocks ca:i be looked for until the
bond uarket develop? a firmer un
dertone. With standard bonds slowly
but steadily dceling and new issues
coming upon the market in large voi-
I uni", there is little inducement for
| the public to buy common stocks, ex
cept as a speculative venture. There
j are exceptions to this, as to ail rules.
The main point, however, lies in tlie
! fact that active and broad speculative
movements in the stock market do
not precede a firm bond market. With
many indications of a high rate for
funds in the fall, a sustained bull
movement in f locks is scarcely looked
for at this writing.
