The principal point of the detailed
weather records yesterday is the rather
general rainfall in the Augusta, Ga., dis-
tr’ t, which averaged about .90.
During the forenoon the market was
rather quiet and prices fluctuated with
r a very narrow range. The feeling
was general that weather reports and

the market and further advances would
encounter selling
The market continued dull and In
active throughout the afternoon ses

bearish and there was a disposition on
the part of the average trader to sell

merits throughout the belt the trade can
not look for nothing but a dull and nar

At the close the market was steady
with prices l point higher to 4 points

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says "Monday’s cotton market, on the
heels of needed general rains, took ex
actly the opposite course from the
course the talent expected It to take.
It advanced. Of course, explanations,
as plausible as prompt, were forthcom
ing, hut the bald fact remained that
the market refused to decline In the
iiii'Srii. e of a widely exploited h«-;irish
influence of real Importance. Bulls said
the reason therefor was the great num
ber of shorts who, of late, have counted
on general rains, which were^lncluded in
the weather forecast a few days ago, to
weaken the market and give them a
chance to buy in. their - commitments.
Bears said the big fellows were buying
and the crop killers were busy, and that,
in the presence of such conditions, lit
tle shorts had become frightened and
scampered to cover.
"It can not now he denied that the
weather conditions over the belt, as a
whole, are favorable. The weather bu
reau promises favorable weather
throughout the week Consequently,
current weather can. not he interpreted
hh a bullish factor. But the bull
makes out a pretty good case for him
self by exploiting lateness of the crop
both East and West and by the use
of trustworthy advices from many sec
tions, showing that repeated replanting
lias placed the cron squarely on the de
fensive. Nobody claims that the chance
for a large crop has been eliminated, but
many do claim that the status of the
crop to-day does not warrant childlike
confidence In an arbitrary result ap
proaching the outturn of 1911-1912”
Austin. Texas: "Crop prospects are
very bright. It would take a long
drouth to overcome the moisture which
now is in the ground. Promoters of cur
tailing acreage to artificially boost prices
re considerably worried over the in-
rease in acreage, which is larger than
in any previous year. There Is a very
large Increase In virgin ranch regions of
West and South Texas."
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
I>>gan & Bryan: We feel that a
further advance is not at all unlikely.
Hayden. Stone A- Co.: There seems
to he nothing in the outlook to stimu
late bullish activity as long as the
weather is favorable for the progress
of fhe new crop.

CHICAGO, Msy 20 —While the May
wheat future reached 91 *4 to 91*4 as
the high price for the day, it sold off
to 9044, where it closed with a loss of
**c. This fact showed that those who
are long the May wheat are not anx
ious to boost it up to a high level, as
there is a great deal of wheat at Du
luth that is accessible for May deliv
ery here, and it will he brought down
here without any great amount of cere
mony. The July and September closed
with losses of about \' t c. The world's
available supply, as compiled toy Brad-
street, showed a decrease of 6,421,000
bushels of wheat, 1,410,000 bushels of
corn and 757,000 bushels of oats.
Corn closed %c lower to unchanged
and oats were %c to %c lower.
. St. Louis reported Toledo as a buyer
of 30 cars of No. 2 red) wheat there at
a bargain counter price.
