MARKET FOR COTTON
BROADENING OF RANGE AND HARD

Coal Strike am Unsettiing Feature, But After an Early Break, There is a Stin Sharper Rally
 Close at Advance.

New York, March 30.--The cotton market was active during today's ses- sion, and prices showed comparative ly broad range. The coal strike was an unsettling influence early, but an early break was followed by an even sharper rally and the market closed very steady at a ntt advance of 7@l5 points Sales for the day were esti- mated at 500,000 bales.
 The opening was steady at a decline of points on near positions. which were influenced by rather disappointing cables to an advance of 1 point on the new crop which was sustained by an- favorable reports. At first there seem ed to be comparatively little cotton for sale, but after advancing to net gain of 2 to points there was heavy pres sure which was partly attributed to Western longs. Around II cents for July stop loss orders were uncovered. May declined to HOS and July to 10.93 under this pressure when there was a renewal of bull support, the local bull leader sent out bulfish circulars which were reassuring to smaller longs, cables from Bremen reported that re- count ot the stock there showed a de- crease of 6i.000 bales American and the local market rallied. Room shorts covered on a scale upward and the high point was reached in the late trading, with the market closing with in a point or two of the best and only to points below the high level of last Wednesday.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Chicago, March 30.-Active demand for May wheat by shorts and cash houses caused general strength today in the local wheat market, the May de- livery closing with a net gain of 1-2m 5-S. Corn was up 1-S. Oats were up 1-S@1-4. Provisions were off 12 1-2
 At the opening prices were somewhat easy because of liberal receipts in the Northwest, continued favorable wealth CT in the Southwest and the unrespon- sive tone of cables. the Liverpool mar ket being barely steady, notwithstand- ing yesterdays advance here, Early in the session, however, cash houses bought large quantities of the May op- tion and created a lively demand by shorts, who feared possible squeeze" in that delivery. News of the day. which was largely of a bearish char acter was apparently Ignored. Primary ment today being 417,O0O bushels, against 350.000 for the corresponding day one year ago. The strength of cash wheat at Minneapolis and Kansas City furnished encouragement to local bulls and the market became stronger as the session advanced. Prices at the close were almost at the highest point 1-4@s-sc lower at 77@771-S, advanced to 78 and closed at 77 7-S. July sold between 77 and 77 5-S and closed with a gain of 1-4c. at IT 1-2.
 Corn was steady in sympathy with
 
 offerings from the country. Prices however, fuctuated within narrow range. Trading was of small volume and consisted largely in the changing of May to the more distant deliveries The close was steady. May opened 1-Sc. lower at A IA, advanced to 441-2 and A 5S and closed at A 1-2. Local receipts, 225 cars. 12 contract grade
 Considerable strength was shown in the oats market There was an active demand during the greater part of the day, buying by shorts being a feature. Offerings were light. Factors tending to higher prices were a decreased move- ment and the possibility of delay in seeding operations. May opened a shade lower at 30 1-2. advanced to 307 7-S and 31 and closed at 30 3-4. Local re- ceipts 124 cars.
 Provisions were weak because of general liquidation. The impending coal strike was given as one reason for the profit taking At the close May pork was down 20c. al $16.1O. Lard was off 12 1-2 at $S.27 1-2. Ribs were 12 1-2 @15c. lower at $S.52 1-2
