New York, March 24-(Special )-This was
the dullest day the cotton market has seen
for a long time Liverpool sent scant en-
enlargement for the bulls, yet during the
forenoon there was show of firpness. In
the afternoon it became apparent that the
movement for the week would be much
heavier than had been expected, and prices
yielded somewhat, but there was little
trading, and the extreme fluctuations of
the day were within range of only 4
points. May opened at R6O, rallied to 1853.
declined to 7.59 and closed at 7.59@7.60, with
the tone qupiet but steady. The fact is,
while there seems to be no inducement to
buy, few traders are willing to sell the
spring and summer months short for a
quick turn. The danger of a squeeze is too
manifest to everybody, and yet no squeeze
may occur, but the feeling is growing that
the fall months, even at the lower prices,
are safer to sell. RIORDAN & co.

kete For a time during the morning there
seemed to be no recuperative power, no con-
fdence. being displayed by the bull element.
Several of the influential operators who
were short covered later on, and their buy
ing lifted values above yesterdays close,
where they remained most of the session.
Near the close there appeared more firm
hess, and final figures were almost the best
of the day. May wheat opened at $3.50
61Bo, advanced to 62lac, closing at 62Bc,
$50 higher than yesterday. Cash wheat
WAS firm and nc per bushel higher
Corn-Speculative interest was negative
quantity In corn. The tone and feeling was
dependent on wheat, prices moving lower
early and upward later. Under that infiu-
ence the trade was mostly local, recent
sellers buying back what they had disposed
of and scalpers taking few risks of minor
Importance. May corn opened at 29Ac, sold
between 291s@29Ac and 29asc, closing at the
outside, unchanged from yesterday. Cash
corn was easy, selling at 1s0lAc under yes
terday, but closing nominally steady with
the futures.
20 Oats ranged at lower prices early, but
when the wheat and corn markets rallied
they also had a moderate recovery. There
was a moderately good trade yesterdays
break having created a fair short interest,
which was covered today. May oats closed
1sc higher than yesterday. Cash oats were
weak and Hc lower.
Observation-Disclosures in products was
ascribed to a break of 56I10c in hog prices
this morning, but in addition thereto there
was a decided bear sentiment in control of
the market. Professionals were arraigned
against prices, and under that condition the
buying was not of the kind to invigorate
the tone The close was TIC lower for
May pork, 5@71ac lower for May lard and
TIC lower for May ribs.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
