3 points higher than last night’s close
Spot people again bought July, which
seemed to be the strength of the mar
ket, hut the ring crowd was inclined to
sell on favorable weather conditions^and
promise of further rains over tlie East
ern and Central belt.
There was not much buying of new
crop positions and prices in these op
tions soon fell some 2 to J points from
the opening, while July and August held
steady around the early high level. The
bears seem to be following out their
recent policy of covering short commit
ments on ail favorable weather or cr#q
advices. After the call offerings were
freer, while the buying was com en
trated. The principal absorption seemed
to come from Wall Street operators.
The principal point of the detailed
weather records yesterday is the nit her
general rainfall in the Augusta. Ga., dis
trict. which averaged about .90
During the forenoon the market was
rather uuiet and prices fluctuated with
in a very narrow range The feeling
was general that weather reports and
crop advices were too good to sustain
the market and further advances would
encounter selling.

Fate of Mexico
Rests With U. S.
WASHINGTON. May 20.—Paul
Hudson, editor o f The Mt xiean Her
ald. of the Ulty of Mexico, in an ar
ticle printed in that pa pet argues that
the United States should recognize
the Huerta Government. He says:
"The Mexican situation is equally
critical to-day for Mexico, for Amer
icans and their interests in Mexico
ami for ( nr American commercial and
official relations with that troubled
land.
“The time has passed for theoretl-
ch| consideration of Mexico’s plight
The country confronts very real and
Aery difficult conditions that must b<
met in a prompt and practical way.
The one thing that will help most
quickly is recognition of the Huerta
Government by the United States.
"The Huerta-Diaz combination is
as strong a one as could be formed
In Mexico to-day. It has the support
of as larg«* a proportion of the bes*
elements of the country as any al
liance could hope to secure. It is
guided by on#* of the best cabinets
Mexico «*ver lias known.
“Mexicans realize, and it is time
Americans realized, too. that the al
ternative to-day is the success #>f the
Huerta Government <>r chaos.

can situation.”

CHICAGO, May 20 M'he Inter-Ocean

“It is the belief of the conservative

markets, with advances like those of
yesterday, are to he expected every few
days.
“M’here Is a good sized outstanding
shor^| interest in May, compared with
the stocks, particularly corn and oats,
which gives a few of the big operators
sufficient prestige to enable them to
handle tin- markets with comparative
ease, to the discomfort of the shorts.
