...'■iitMins in the cotton market were ex
irt'mrlv strong today but new crops

mum! for spots had a great deal to do
with the strength of the old crops and
shorts in May were uneasy over renew
ed rumors that large spots interests
controlled the long end of that posi
• inn Thev covered and made May the
Strongest month. After gains of 1 to
u, points around the opening prices
f‘n off to levels 1 to 23 polfits under
,v filial prices of yesterday’s close.
After the middle of the morning the
irregularity became more pronounced
owing to the strength of the old crops
and in the afternoon the old crops
bulge,! to net gains of 27 to 34 points
while at their best theSjew crops only

previous high. May traded as high as

at 27.S5. October touched 24.51 in the
early trading and then fell to 24.25.
The-close was 26 joints up to 16 points
down, net on the day, May closing at
"812 and October at 24.32.
The weekly crop reports from the
government were about as unfavorable

STOCKS
NEW YORK, April .18,—Prices ol
stocks , continued their rise to higher
ground in today’s more active market
with the •railroad shares giving the
■best exhibition of group strength,
j While short covering operation and
[ pool manipulations undoubtedly were
an important factor in the rise of many
shares, the volume of sales and the
nature of the buying indicated an in
creasing public interest in the market.
International buying also has been
an important factor in the recent ad
vance. Much of the impetus for the
week’s ten point gain in Canadian Pa
cific has come from buying orders orig
inating in London and Montreal. Gen
eral Motors and Atchison have been in
demand by foreign buyers. Sales of
Anaconda copper for British account
also were reported by local brokers.
The announced tax reductions in Great
Britain are generally 'believed to have
been responsible for a reawakening of
forgein interest in the local secuity
market. *
Speculative interest of favorable traf
fic statement account, part for the re
vival of interest in the rail group. Some
of the outstanding strong spots were
Union Pacific, New Orleans, Texas and
Mexico, Texas and Pacific, DelaWarq
and Hudson, Atlantic coast Line, Chi
cago and Northwestern common and
preferred, ’’Soo” Northern Paolflc and
the Reading issues. .
A sharp break In German mdfrks
which sustained an over night drop of
10 points to .0033 cents, was the fea
ture of the foreign exchange market.
While official explanations for the de
cline were not available here, local ex
change dealers were of the opinion that
i the German government, which had
kept the mark “pegged” at .0048 cents
for nearly two months, had withdrawn
its support or found it ineffective under
the tremendous flood of • new paper
money. French francs rallied 8 points
to 6.64 cents, but the other European
rates showed little change.
Day’s total sales 9.64,000 shares.
Twenty industrials averaged 102.24;
net gain .100.
High 1923, 105.38; low 96.96.
Twenty railroads averaged 88.54; net
gain 1.15.
