Wheat started surprisingly strong. con-
sidcring how weak It was al the close OF
the session last night There were sew
crai reasons for the buying, but the most
important was the fact that the selling
pressure was greatly relaxed. This led a
good many operators TO believe that TIE
heavy liquidation OF tho last two days had
about run Its course. Another strength
ening influence was an advance of l-t@

been confidently looked for. Furthermore,
tho weather bureau announced that cold
wavo was threatcning the wheat hells in
the Southwest. There was also MANY bad
crop reports, and as many wcro accom-
panied by buyng orders, 50 the reports
attracted considerable attention.
Chicago received fifty four ears; Mo'ne-
apols and Duluth got SST ears. Reports
from country buyers were TO the effect
that farmers deliveries were becoming

New York March 1s.--The cotton mar
kes opened steady with prices to points
higher, and after brief period of activity
at the start, became very quiet, with busl-
ness almost entirely of local character
The Improvement was due to a rather bet
ter average to the English news expected,
to reports that rains in the Mississippi
valley again brought field work TO halt
and to fair covering by local shorts. The
long contingent continued their liquidating
methods. Very few outside orders were
received, and those reaching here from
abroad were scattered too much TO have
any bearing either ono way or the other.
