COTTON MARKET
 VERY UNSETTLED Liquidation Follows Opening of
 the Market RALLY ON FRESH BUYING Preliminary Report Showing Probable Decrease In Acreage Has No Ef- feet Upon Prices, as Bear
 Sentiment Prevails.

New York, March 22.-The cotton mar ket was unsettled today, with fluctuations irregular and the close firm on near positions and steady on late, with prices one point higher to points lower.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to a decline of points owing to a full response by Liverpool to the local decline of Saturday and renewed liquidation. During the first few minutes prices arllied to a net advance of about to points on evening up by local shorts, who were influenced by uncer- tainty as to the significance of the cen- sus report on stocks in the United States and indicated consumption for the first six months of the season, but when it was found that this was bringing no fresh demand of any consequence the market weakened again and renewed liquidation and bear pressure.
 A preliminary report by a local author ity, pointing to a decrease of 27 per cent in acreage, failed to check the de- cline, in fact seemed to add to bear ish confidence on the theory that if plant ters were talking so small a decrease at this time of the year an actual in- crease was probable and during the aft ernoon July and later months sold into new low records for the movement, with prices at one time showing a net. loss of to points.
 Toward the close there was a slight general improvement on covering, with the near months leading on a renewal of bull support. Southern spot markets officially reported were unchanged to %c lower. Weather reports were without special feature or influence
 Receipts at ports today, 2S,276 bales against 14,145 last week and Il ,44S last year. For the week, 90O00 bales, against 954SS last week and 93,3S1 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 4672 bales, against SS last year, and at Houston, 51O1 bales, against 3141 last year.

SHARP ADVANCE
 IN STOCK MARKET Tone Is Much Better But BuSi-
 ness Is Limited WAR CLOUDS ARE LIFTED Foreign Orders Are More Numerous Following Rumors of European Peace and Shorts Hasten
 to Cover.
WAR CLOUDS ARE LIFTED

New York, March 22.-The betterment in prices which occurred In today's stock market was made in shrinking volume of transactions, the total fall ing somewhat below that of Friday last. The rapidity and extent of the advances which were made, was an illustration of the small floating sup ply of stocks in the market, which sup plies the present argument of the bull faction, while the demand for stocks, although small, outweighed the sup ply so effectually to combat the con- tention of the bear element that no sufficient vitality exists in the specula- tion The demand which was in evil dence today had its origin in foreign events and In their sympathetic in- fuence on the local professional de- ' mand.
 The lifting again of the Balkan war cloud over the weekend and the end- ing of the strike of postoffice employees ] in France. put so much heart into speculators in the London and Eu- ropean stock markets that consid- erab1e demand for stocks was engen- 
 New York stock market when it opened. Orders from foreign sources to buy 25,000 shares or more of stocks were then in the hands of brokers on ! the New York stock exchange and their Lexecution coused an instantaneous re- keAi1ustment to the advance in the price HSvels which had been established by earlier operations in foreign markets. The strength thus imparted to the mar ket had an intimidating effect on the bear faction and drove them to cover by buying stocks. Toward the end of last week the bear faction had begun to operate with some renewed bold ness so thaf their position was some what extended in face of the new strength today. Reports of improved conditions in the copper trade was factor of strength in the markets not only at home, but abroad.
 Vague rumors were in circulation of ksolne large sales of refined copper that were beingy effected and quotations were advanced again at the New York metal exchange and in the London mar ket for copper warrants. The adjourn ment of the supreme court at Washing ton for the spring recess without hand ing down decision in the commodities clause test case was interpreted as a favorable influence on Reading, and that stock held a leading place in the days speculation. Such items in the djy's news as might bear a relation uhfavo able to values were ignored. There were reports from Pittsburg of

The tone of te time money market was firmer in consequence.
 The London Statis affrms that the present shipments of wheat from the United States owing to the speculative price level, will necessitate large par ticipation by foreigners in coming rail- road bond issues here. The effect will be, it is affirmed by this authority, to cause reshipments of gold to New York. Last prices were about the highest of the day, and buying was in active prog ress at the close.

WHEAT DECLINES
 IN LIVE MARKET Prices Are Higher At Opening
 But Later Ease Off GOOD SUPPORT BY BULLS Slump In Wheat Is Main Factor In Depressing Corn, But the Close Is
 Higher-oats Are Easy.
 Provisions Strong.

Chicago, March 22.-Reported exhaustion of Australia's exportable surplus of wheat transformed the wheat market today from a decidedly weak affair into one of consid- erable strength. At the close, however prices were still a shade to kQAc below the final quotations of the previous ses- sion. Corn closed firm; oats easy, and provisions strong.
 The change in sentiment in the wheat pit occurred during the final hour and re- suited in a display of considerable ac- tivlty and strength following a session of extreme heaviness, during which time of- ferings found comparatively few buyers The reason for the late firmness was a cablegram from a well known English crop statstician, in which 1t was stated that only 100000 bushels of wheat avail able for export from Australia from this seasons crop remains to be shipped, thus indicating much less amount than ex- pected. Several leading bulls gave the market good support following the receipt Of this news, and shorts also covered freely. The result was a quick advance of lc from the low point of the day.
 SAAiS AoHJ Iic was OK tremely weak, sentiment In the pit appar ently being unanimously bearish owing to tower cables, liberal worlds shipments. an incl ease of 85,00) Bushels in the visible supply in the United States, and favorable crop reports from this country. During the day, May ranged from s1.14A and $1.15A, while July sold between s1.O17s and $l.02B. The market closed at almost the top, with May at $s1.15A and July ct $1.o2A@1.o2N.
 The slump in wheat and the easy tone In cables had depressing. effect on the corn market during the early part of the day, there being considerable scattered selling. The close was firm, with prices lsc to ssc higher, compared with Satur- days final quotations, May being at 66Ac and July at 6514c.
 Oats were weak the greater part of the day, although a little firmer feeling de- veloped later in the day, because of the rally in other grains. At the close prices were Is to 1s@9Ac below the final quota tions of the previous session, May being at 54c and July at 4Sc.
 Provisions were strong all day. at the close prices being 71k@10c to 1O@121ac high CT than Saturdays close.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York March Special JAS Liverpool displayed a weak under tone the slow liquidation carried the market to a new low level from which there was a rally at the close, as the trade through a rally was due abroad tomorrow. The additional census re- port giving the amount on hand in va rious places, was so involved as to have no influence. Some new buying on an investment basis was noticeable on the decline, tn ough the largest de- rnand came from arbitrage buyers, who are gradually transferring their May interest to Liverpool. This helped to cause the rally at the close leading all to look for better advices tomor- row. It was a small market with in- terests gradually being eliminated on the decline.
