New York Stock Exchange closed barely steady.
New York cotton futures closed steady.
3 % %
Following the sensational break in futures, Atlanta spot
cotton fell 1 cent a pound to 34 cents, representing a decline
for the week of 235 points—sll.7s a bale,
Local dealers state that holders are not worried over the
big slump in futures, and that off erings are light, but that they
understand some Southern interests have hedged in the New
York market,.
¥ X X
Under weight of tremendous selling orders, based on further
beneficial rains in Texas, unfavorable war news, bearish cotton
statisties for the month of March and reported weakness in spots,
future contracts broke sensationally Saturday, with values show
ing a net loss of 77 to 113 points in New York at the close.
New Orleans market broke 87 to 90 points. From the bottom
levels the market rallied a few points, but both markets exhibited
a barely ysteady tone as the exciting session came to an end.
The South was reported a heavy seller as hedges against actual
cotton. The West and Wall Street also were among the best sell
ers. Demand was light and attributed to few sources.
Values at the lowest levels showed a net loss of more than 200
points from Friday’s top marks and nearly 400 points from last
week’s records, when May reached 341% cents a pound.
At the lowest levels Saturday May stood at 30.65, July 30.28,
October 28.79, December 28.45, January 28.37 and March 28.10.
May New Orleans fell to 29.83, while July broke to 29 cents and
‘October to 27.55. : ;
There was no resistance whatever to the decline, leading bulls
taking profits and allowing values to slump at will,
The week closed with the New York market 304 to 353 points
below last Saturday’s finals, which is equivalent to $15.20 to $17.65
a bale.

GRAIN NOTES.
. CHICAGO, April 13.—A bearish feel
ing prevails in the grain trade here and
there is an increasing disposition on the
part of operators to press the selling
side on breaks. This, while having a
tendency to create an oversold condi
tion from time to time, makes many of
the bulls timid, and they do most of the
buying in a limited way on breaks and
are satisfied with good moderate profits.
One of the new arguments presented by
the bears yesterday was that cotton,
which has been advancing for a long
time, has dropped sl2 per bale from re
cent high point, a good part of it within
the last week. They thought grains
were due for a decline. There is said
to be more disposition to hedge, and
corn of late, especially the corn, by
selling the July.—Herald.

J. S. BACHE STOCK LETTER.
NEW YORK, April 13.—The great
confidence with which the stock market
views the progress of the mighty com
bat ils bulwarked by the strong belief
that the great German war machine will
spend its force and neutralize its own
danger long before the Allies’ position
becomes imperiled. We look for a quiet,
steady market today.

Friday's Buyers Changed Their
Position and Offered Issues
Freely at Start.
NEW YORK, April 13.—There was an
other reversal in price movements on
the Stock Exchange at the opening to
day. Some of those active on the buying
side late yesterday changed their posi
tion and offered stocks at the opening.
In most cases their purchases were
made with the intention of selling today,
and the consequent declines, which
ranged fro mfractions to over 1 point,
were without significance.
Steel Common lost 5% to 891%. Bald
win declined 1% to 73'% and Bethlehem
Steel B yielded 1 point to 76. Marine
preferred yielded 7% in the first few
minutes to 9214 and lesser losses were
sustained in many other 'ssues.
After the rirst few minutes the supply
from a speculative element was ex
hausted, and rallied were in order.
Steel common ranged around 891, and
Marine preferred around 92. Midvale,
after moving up over 1 point, to 47%,
reacted to 46, while Mexican Petroleum
moved up over 1 point to 923;. Distill
ers' Securities continued active and, aft
er selling up to 463, reacted to 45%.
The market closed steady.
Government bonds unchanged; rail
way and other bonds steady.

INCREASE FOR LAST QUARTER
{
The Western Union Telegraph Company is out with another
gratifying report. The company reports for the quarter ended
March 31, 1918, a surplus of $3,092,809 after charges, as compared
with $3,087,905 the previous corresponding period and $1,839,163
the same period in 1916.
An official of the company states that the company’s business
shows an increase of nearly 25 per cent over last year, which partly
is attributed to heavy Government business, but general business
also shows a substantial increase, )
Headway is being made in the proposed South American ex~
tensions, and the company’s representative in Brazil has obtained
a decree in favor of the company. Other negotiations with Gows
ernments down the coast are being concluded.
At the recent annual meeting of the company T. DeWitt Cuys
ler, Howard Elliott, Julius Kruttschnitt and Charles B. Seger were
elected directors to take the places of Robert C. Clowry, Robert S.
Lovett, Joseph J. Slocum and James Stillman, deceased. The bale
ance of the board was re-elected.
The company’s report for the quarter follows:
