Resasesensensss firms and Wall Street, based on unfavorable weather,
e extremely bullish reports with regard to the dry goods

PN and predictions of frost Saturday night in the Caro
b linas, possibly in northwest Georgia, central and east-
B ern Tennessee, resulted in the market rising to new

Conferences held Friday between offi

‘of the cotion sced oil interests on the
guestion of whether or mot the Govern
ment should remove the stabilization of
the industry and withdraw all Government
restrictions and regulations will be con
tinued Tuesday.
It was apnounced Friday that the Food
Administration and the Grain Corperation
would allocate an order for 16,000 tons of
lard substitutes or oil to the industry for
European relief. Cables from Paris out
lining the plan of the supreme food coun
cil say that lard substitutes will be used
in Elaco of food products for large sections
of Europe.

%; Times-Picayune says: “The under
lying feeling in the market continues bull
ish on the belief that despite dissensions
at the peace conference in Paris the tangle
will be smoothed out and a peace treaty
signed in the near future. Hence it took
but little encouragement to advance prices
again ¥Friday, notwithstanding the disposi
tion of some longs to realize at every op
portunity and the fact that the American
fiarkk-lu are facing another holiday on
onday.
“Expeorts are still for‘m{ ahead of last
year and there is every indication that
clearances will be comparatively large dur
ing May as the tonnage situatiomn is im
proving. As practically all the cotton held
in the South is hedged by saiés in the
contract market a revived demand for
spots would be promptly reflected in fu
tures hy the buying back of hedgen,
“Although there is still muech ‘cotton
peld in the South, there is very little offer
ing in Southern markets showing that
Southern spot holders are Jliving up to
their pledges not to sell theif cotton until
they realize a paying price. All cotton
held seems to be well financed.”

Atlanta spot cotton advanced 20
Ppoints to 28.80 cents a pound, basis
good middling—new high record for
‘the movement. Spot cotton at New
York advanced 25 points to 29 1-2.
At 28.80 Atlanta spot cotton stood
40 points higher than the quotation
of the same day a year ago—the mrst
time in many months that the actual
has commanded a higher price than
the prexious corresponding day. Sat
urday one year ago the raw material
suffered a sensational crash, falling
"165 points, as the result of aggressive
‘hammering by the bear element ,on
prospects of a record acreage and
‘huge yield. It was the lowest quo
tation recorded on that downward
‘movement, which was one of the
‘most rapid and sensational in history
of the Atlanta market. On April 6,
11918, the actual soared to 36.35 cents
-—the highest level since the Civil
War—and within twenty days the
price decreased. virtually 8 cents a 2
pound,
i That lesson should be recalled by
every Southern cotton grower today
as absolute proof of what will happen
\ . D M
Hf they don't cut this year's acreage
at least a third. From all indlcatlons,
there will be no repetition of last
year's violent decline in the price of
cotton. * Peace is near and Europe is
bare of the staple, and American spin
ners are beginning to realize that they
must have cotton, and an enormous
quantity, to fill forthcoming needs,
but with all this demand the South
must hold down the acreage and turn
out another small crop, which, to
gether with the carry-over at the end
of this season, will be sufficient to
take _care of all needs, but at mate
rially higher prices than now prevail
ing.

eral buying marked the opening of the

based on an unfavorable weather map,
a more optimistic feeling u{n.rdlnx an
Italian settlement and the bullish - re
ports from the cloth m:rkets. With a
}two-dny adjournment ahead, shorts de
cided to cover and their demand was a
lm;g'e factor on the rise.

showing, but were ignored. Later al
months made new high records with

in the day, with May, new, reach]&ng
28,65, July 27.10 and October 25.30. We

again, they may not be—hut they can

Exports will increase, surely so if

can not increase appreciably; so,
whatever the mutations on the stock
exchange that may be caused by
varying technical conditiong, the fun

To the present, the vast participa

by a large amount of outright buy-1

fact, the odd lots purchases are over-‘

taxing the facilities of the best ap

volume of business.

GRAIN NOTES,
CHICAGO, April 26.—Corn: It now de
velops that the “war bread” cn.blg.m
created so much excitement yester was,
considerably misinterpreted. Mr. .ELrus
states that the return to war bread baasis
will be confined to European countries, it
being found that wheat stocks here are
sufficiént to meet home consumption and
export demand until next harvest. Inas
much as the short interest in corn market
was completely eliminated by yesterday's
flurry, the above explanation of Hoover's
statement should restore the market te
something like a normal condition. We
believe there is a growing impressionr that
the extreme advance from low prices pre
vailing three months ago has full&:
counted the immediate situation—'
son, McKinnon & Coe.
GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS,
Clement, Curtis & Co.: “Buying will be
the attractive feature of graim.”
CEE
E., Wagner & Co.: “There are many e
lievers in higher prices for grain.”
