NEW VO UK, May Iti. covering took advantage of the good min« pver the belt to cover at the opening of the cotton market to-day. Fuat prices Were 2 points higher to 2 points lower than the closing quotations of Thursday. Many bad expected a much lower start on aucount of the weather map. hut the market shows considerable resist ance In the face of favorable weather, with predictions for further rains, and sprit people gave the market support by buying old crops, and this prevented the market from showing depression After the call bear pressure developed in volume and the new crop positions declined about 6 points from the ini tial level. There was no market In Uverpool. This market being closed explained the dullness shown during the early fore noon. * The principal feature during the forenoon trading was the se.liing by sev eral brokers who usually represent the larger spot houses. Reports of rain* is causing more bear- ish i sejitlment, but lb© most radical bears are not inclined to sell the market short on such report*, owing to the fiiany misleading reports that have been issued during the past several days. Most of these teports are proven false when the official government forecast Js made public. However, the hears are playing for a good reaction from prdsejit l.eveis, but it is noticeable they ar0 not' selling the market short to any great extent. 'During the late forenoon the market was quiet witli prices a shade lower than the opening range The strength in July was credited chiefly to the s'eadiness of the new crop positions, but prices failed to bulge either way. 'Hie forecast is for more extensive rains over the Eastern Stales during the next 36 hours. During the afternoon session the mar ket was quiet. The trade expected the weekly cotton statement to he bearish. This, however, did not inspire any ac tive trading Prices were practically unchanged from the previous close. At 4.he close the market was steady with prices net unchanged to 6 points • igher than the final quotations of T,iii*r*day. RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTURES.

Th© cotton crop stand in Georgia is not more than 50 per cent. It may be as low ,ts 40 per cent. This estimate was made Friday by officials of the St ae Department of Agriculture on late reports from agents and farmers througnout the State. The situation is alarming,’ 1 said .1. J Brown. Assistant (’ommissione** of Agriculture. “It is worse than It has been in years. '1 he department Is not desirous of spreading ‘calamity’ reports, but it 1 Demand for Wool Under Last Year’s 1 New Low Records Ars Recorded in Prices During the Week Just Past. 160.000 shares. is impossible to get away from the fact that the stand is not more than half the normal It may be even less.” Farmers can meet in a measure the conditions of drouth or rain once they get the plants, but without a stand they are helpless. The long pe riod of dry weather has prevented the germination of the seeds. If an attempt is made to replant within the next week, it is a question whether the crop will reach maturity in time. "Farmers with considerable of their acreage in corn have fared better. There are good stands of corn about the State and the indications are that there will be a fair and a profitable crop’’ Nashville Risk Firm Retires From Field Unofficial information reached the office of Comptroller General William A. Wright, Friday, that the Western andiAtlantic Fire Insurance Company of Nashville, Tenn., a number of whos** policies are held in Atlanta, had reinsured its policy obligations in the Globe and Rutgers Fire In surance Company, of New York, and will retire from the insurance field. The unrest prevailing among policy holders will be allayed by this news. THE WEATHER.

CHICAGO, May 16—William M Burton Superintendent of the Stand ard Oil 'Company of Indiana, to-day made a special plea before John Montgomery, Jr., commissioner of the Supreme Court of Missouri, asking that the company be permitted 4.0 do business in Missouri. He said if permitted to operate in Missouri the Standard Oil Company would spend $1,000,000 on the Sugar Creek refinery at Kansas City, and supply the State with a sub-motor * fuel to take the place of gasoline, which would be sold at 3 cents a gallon less than present day gaso line prices. Seven or eight years hence." said Burton, "the price of gasoline may leach any figure. If we are per mitted to open up in Missouri we will enter the State as a competitive f company and spend $1,000,000 on ihe# Sugar Creek refinery.” He said that, if the company were kept out of the State under the rul ing of the Supreme Court in April last year, the cost of this sub-fuel will be as great in Missouri as gas oline on account of the extra charges for shipping. He promised that, if permitted to enter Missouri, the Standard Oil Company w r ould keep its books open for official examination at any time.
