Stock prices moved Irregularly higher this week, with easy money rates providing the groundwork for the advance. Bond prices also improved, several of the | Liberty issues attaining their highest prices of the year. The advance in stocks was by no means uniform, oil, sugar and copper shares losing ground as a result of a lowering of commodity prices. REACTION IN COTTON. Poor Foreign Demand and Spot Of- ferings Weaken Values. NEW YORK, April 18.—An early advance on prospects for continued dry weather in Texas was followed by reactions in the cotton market today under realizing. July sold up to 25.15, or 15 points net higher, but lost the advance, closing at 25.00. The general market closed barely steady, net 5 points lower to 5 points higher. Cotton on shipboard awaiting clear- ance at the end of the week was esti- mated at 90,631 bales, against 75,698 last year. Private cables attributed the decline to the relatively easy showing of Liverpool through lack of trade call- ing, boor spot demand and freer spot offerings. MORE COTTON RAISED. World Crop 5,000,000 Bales Above Previous Year's Yield. Production of cotton in the world this year will exceed that of last year by 5,000,000 bales, the Department of Agriculture estimated today in mak- ing public revised figures. The 1924-25 crop will vield 24,540,000 bales, com- pared with 19,520,000 bales for the pre. ceding year, the department estimated. The department also forecast that the world cotton area for the 192425 op will be 79,500,000 acres, compared with 71,200,000 acres the year before. NEW YORK DAIRY PRICES.

IN STEEL MARKET Hard Week for Copper—-Tin Prices Up—Lead and Zinc Are Lower. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 18.—Aslde from a fairly active demand for structural material and more or less buying by Iroads, the steel market during the past week was quiet. Buyers appeared to be well supplied and little disposed to make new contracts ahead during the present period of uncertainty. Producers were meeting the situation by reducing their output, and, while prices were little changed, the under- tone was only about steady.'Pigiron was dull, with prices irregularly lower and the market generally was easy. Copper Market Weak. Copper lower, unsettled conditions abroad, combined with heavy March production figures, have had a bear- ish effect on sentiment and with buy- ers generally holding off, prices have been marked down to new low levels for the year. Offerings by both second hands and producers were reported at the 131 cent level and the week ended with no indication of any immediate improvement in demand. Finished products are said to be moving in about the normal volinne, but the de- cline in the metal has been reflected by reductions of % to i cents in prices for brass and copper products. Tin has moved up a full cent on buying by dealers and shorts. The weakness in other metals has been offset by the falling off in shipments from the Straits and and small insight supplies. Lead Sales Remain Slow. Lead has been erduced by the lead- ing producer, but buying showed no enlargement. Producers seem inclined ltu ult‘uumulale stocks at current price evel Zinc declined to new low records for the year under increased offerings and only a light demand. Antimony showed further weakness early, due to increased arrivals, butat the decline a little better inquiry de- veloped for nearby metal and a steadier tone prevailed. BALTIMORE LIVE STOCK. BALTIMORE, Md., April 18 (Spe- cial).—The general live cattle market, with the exception of calves, rules firm under moderate receipts and a fairly active demand for first quality stock of all kinds. Receipts of beef cattle especially light on the wharves and all stock showing quality meets with ready sale at full quotations.

Special Dispatch to The Star. - BOSTON, April 18.—The week in the raw wool markets closed with prices holding fairly steady and with moderate small lot buying by mills for immediate use. Some lots of fine wools have sold at $1.25 clean basis and slightly less choice materials from $1.15 to_ $1.26. Shearing has begun in the Northwest and buyers have taken on small lots at 40c and 41c. BALTIMORE PRODUCE. BALTIMORE, April 18 (Speciall.— With the packers taking hold more freely, the ‘local egg market has ruled fairly steady all week and prices have been maintained on a higher level than usual at this time of the year. Receipts have been fairly lib- eral, but under an active demand all desirable stock has cleaned up prompt- ly from day to day. In sympathy with other leading markets the local market closed firm today at 28%a29 cents a dozen for native and nearby firsts in free cases. Regular shipments are ad- visable for best results, as it is still a day-to-day market. There is very lit- tle life to the demand for duck eggs and the market is more or less normal, as the active season is about over and values rule lower. Choice nearby stock will bring 32 cents a dozen, but it does not take many to supply the limited demand prevailing. With the season for dressed poultry practically over, attention i§ now centered entirely on live stock and as a consequence the market rules steady to firm on all lines except ducks, which are ea Market for young chickens continues very firm and ac- tive under light receipts of fat stoc of every description. Demand esp clally good for Spring chickens and 60 cents a pound for mixed col- ored and b0 to 52 for Leghorns. Win- ter chickens, 21 pounds and_under, also wanted and scarce ot 45 to §0 cents. Large, smooth young chickens will bring 5 to 38 centsa pound and even rough, poor stags, 25 to 27 cents. 01d hens are in very moderate receipt, and, with fairly good demand prevail- ing, market holds firm at 29 to 32 cents for medium to large, and 25 and 26 cents for small and Leghorns. Receipts of old roosters have been lighter the latter part of the week, and as a consequence the market rules steady and values a shade higher at 17a18 a 1b. Demand for ducks is easily satisfied, and, as most of the daily arrivals show effects of the laying sea son, the market rules easy at 22 to 26 for large stock and 18 to 20 for small and poor. Guinea fowl and pigeons are in light receipt, and, de- mand being good, the market is firm at 90 to 1.00 each for young and 50 to 60 each for old of the former and 50 a pair for both young and old of the latter. Season for turkeys over and shipments not advisable, as very few are wanted at this time. ‘While receipts of white potatoes con- tinue light, they are equal to the de- mand, which is only fair, and market rules steady but quiet at 1.00 to 1.35 per 100 Ibs. and 1.00 to 1.10 for Me- Cormicks and reds. Demand fairly good and active for s and yams at 5.00a6.00 the former and 4.50a5.50 for the latter. Topped stock and mixed No. 1s and No. 2s will not bring full quotations and have to be sold at the same price as No. 2s—2.50a3.00 a bar- rel. Culls are not wanted at any price. Maryland and Virginiz asparagus made its first appearance of the sea- son on the market this week and met with ready sale at 3.50 to 4.50 a dozen for No. 1 stock and 2.00 to 2.50 for No. Other native and nearby garden truck in fair demand at the following quotations: Cabbage, 15.00 to 18.00 per ton; horseradish, 2.00a3.00 bushel; kale, 20 to 40 bushel; onions, 3.75 to 4.25 per 100 Ibs.; Spring onfons, 1.25a 1.50 per 100; rhubarb, 2.00 to 4.00 100; spinach, 50 to 75 bushel.

NEW YORK, April 18.—Trading in the bond market ended today with prices standing at the week’s highest levels. Despite the normal Saturday reduction in the volume of business, substantial progress was recorded un- der the leadership of French obliga- tions and domestic railroad and in- dustr issues. Interest in the financial measures to be proposed by the new finance min- ister of France stimulated dealings in the French bonds. Paris-Lyons-Medi- terranean fssues extended their gains one to two points and most of the French republic and municipal lines moved up a point or so. ‘The current ease of money rates en- abled the United States Treasury 4s to push through their previous high price, but the rest of the Govern- ment’s list was irregular.
