NEW YORK. May ltf. Short covering!
took advantage of the rains over i
the belt to cover at the opening of the
cotton market to-day. t irxt prices were ;
2 points higher to 2 points lower than |
the closing quotations of Thursday. .
Many had expected a much lower sfati
on account of the weather map, hut
the market shows considerable resist
ance in the face of favorahh- weather,
with predictions for further rains, and i
spot people gave the market support ,
toy buying old crop*, and this provented
the market from showing depression |
After the rail bear pressure developed
In volume and the new- crop positions
deolined about 6 point* from the ini-
tlal level.
There was no market 1n Liverpool |
This market being closed explained the i
dullness shown during the early fore
noon
The principal feature during the]
forenoon trading was the selling by sev
eypJ brokers w ho usually represent the J
larger spot houses
Reports of rain* is causing more bear^
kgh sentiment, but the moat radical
bears are not inclined to sell the market
short on such reports, owing to the
rnah.v misleading reports that have been
issued during the past *evemj days
Most of these reports are proven false
when the official government forecast
Is mgde public. However, the hears
are -playing for a good reaction from
present levels, but It is noticeable they
are not selling the market short to any
gre^t extent.
During the late forenoon the market
was quiet with prices a shade lower
then the opening range.
The strength in July was credited
yhipfly to the steadiness of the new
crop positions, but prices failed to bulge
cither way The forecast i* for more
extensive rains over the. Eastern States
during the next 36 hours
During the afternoon session the mar
ket was quiet. The trade expected the
weekly cotton statemeni to be bearish.
Thjs. however, did not inspire any ac
live trading. Prices were practically
unchanged from the previous close.
At the close the market was steady
with, prices net unchanged to 6 points
dgher than the final quotation* of
Thursday. f

J. .1. Brown. Assistant Commissioner
of Agriculture. “It is worse than it
ha* been in years, "the department
is not desirous of spreading 'calamity'
reports, hut it is impossible to get
away from the ffcct that the stand is
not more than half the normal; It
m6y be even les*.”
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 ary 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 uop will reach maturity in time.
“Farmers with considerable of their
acreage in corn have fared better.
There are good stands of corn about
the Btnt and the indications are that
there will be a fair and a profitable
crop.”

Other Inducements for Right
to Resume Business.
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
{hat the company be permitted to do
business in Missouri.
He said if permitted to operate 'in
Missouri the Standard Oi! 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 wouid 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 nmv
reach any figure. If we are per
mitted to open up in Missouri w *-
will enter the State as a competitive
company and spend $1,000,000 on the
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 suh-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 would keep Its books open
for official examination at any time.
