DECIDED ADVANCE
 IN COTTON MARKET
Prices Go Up Sharply Soon
 After the Opening
DEMAND IS VERY GOOD
Continued Dry Weather in the south west Is Cause of Fears That Next Years Crop Will He Light,
 Which Advances Market

New York, March 2S--There was a sharp advance in the cotton market today, with prices selltng into new high srouids for the movement, and with the close very steady at a net gain of 14@31 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 1dI0 points, and quickly sold 12 to 22 points higher on covering by near month shorts, and a good scattering demand for later positions, which was attributed to continued dry weather in the southwest over the holidays. Liverpool, remaining closec until tomorrow, there was consid- erahle foreign buying on the southwest ern weather news, while demand for the near months was probably stimulated by bullish construction of the census re- port on supply and distribution
 During the middle of the day prices re- acted a few points from the best on realizing and local selling for a reaction. Nothing like weakness developed, how evei, and the market during the early afternoon turned firmer on reports of a better trade demand rumors of further sales from the local stock, and apprehen- sion that Liverpool would feel the effects of southwestern weather conditions to- morrow morning. Prices reached the best point of the day in the late trading, when May contracts sold at $15.15 and Oe- tcber at $1329. or 19 to 133 points net higher the maximum gain being on the late months. The close was within a point or two of the best
 Receipts at the ports today, S664 against i,6s3 last week and 15,5S5 last year. For the week, s5.0OO bales, against 75.139 last week and 99.95S last year The days re- ceipts at New Orleans were 1S42 bales against 3979 last year, and at Houston 2440 bales, against 3199 last year.

WHEAT. ADVANCES . NEARLY ONE CENT
Sentiment Is Bullish During
 Most of the Session
BUYERS BID EAGERLY
Corn Market Is Strong at the Start Ow. ing to Advance in Wheat, But Weakens-Oats Advance, But
 Provisions Irregular

Chicago, March 2S-Continued drouth in the southwest enabled the bulls to force wheat still higher today and, although the market lost some of its strength in the final half of the day, prices at the finish were still F to 7s@1c above Satur- days close. Corn and oats advanced with wheat, but lost nearly all of the gains on realizing sales. Provisions closed irregular.
 Weather conditions In the winter wheat belt fere favorable to the bulls and as a result sentiment in the wheat pit was inclined to be bulllsh nearly all day. De- spite official predictions of rain for many sections of the southwest no precipitation was reported today except in one or two localities. This caused sharp upturns in prices when trading began. commission houses in general being eager bidders for the grain. Open quotations showed gains of asc to 11s@lAc with the Septem- Der delivery scoring the greatest advance That option opened at $1 0615 to $1 067s, while July opened at s1. .0811A0l1 .oS%. Dur ing the early trading prices failed to get outside of the opening range, but toward the middle of the day buying by shorts forced them to new high marks for the season, September reaching S1 .06al d1 .07 and July $1. 09A. There was some selling in the final hour, brought out by bear ish statistics. Receipts were liberal, worlds shipments were also large and the visible supply increased SA GOO bushels.
 The market closed about steady with September at $1 061s@1 O6A, after it had touched $1.06 July closed at $1.0S&d 1.0sB.
 The corn market was strong at the start, owing to the bulge in wheat and to the continued favorable weather, but weakened in the final half of the day because of selling inspired by the con tinued slaclsness of shipping demand for the cash grain. Cash corn was in fair demand, and prices were steady to hc higher No. yellow sold at 611a462c During the day the May delivery sold be- tween 627s@635sc. The market closed at almost the bottom, with prices a shade lower to Ac higher, May being at 627sQ 6Sc.
 Oats were firm early in the day because of the strength in wheat and corn, but eased off owing to selling prompted by favorable reports of seeding in Illinois Cash interests were the principal buyers at the start. At the close prices were unchanged to A@%c larger, compared with the previous close.
 Provisions were unsettled, although bullish sentiment seemed to predominate the greater part of the session. A 15- cent advance in live hogs due to light receipts was responsible for the firmness May pork was cratic and after advanc ing to $26. .721h dropped back to 26.35. Al the close prices were 1zc higher to 5t lower Final figures on tho May prod uots were: Pork, $26. 35; lard, $14; ribs S13. .921a@13.95.
