federal soldiers and delivered thNir
supplies to the insurgents. 1t is Of
ticially stated today here that tie

COTTON IS FIRM
 ON BULL SUPPORT
Close Steady at Advance of 5 to 10 POints-New Crop
 Positions Advance

New York, March 23.-Cotton con- tinued quiet today but ruled steady and firm on renewal of bull support and covering by recent sellers who appeared to apprehend the influence of a pro- spective bullish showing by the census report on supply and distribution to- morrow.
 The close was steady at net ad- vance of to 10 points. The market opened steady at unchanged prices at declined points and active months sold to points lower right after the opening under scattering liquidation and overnight selling orders encour- aged by the easier tone of yesterdays market, poor trade accounts and lower cables. English spot sales were larger at the decline, however, and while early weather reports indicated further good rains in the belt favorable pre- lminary new crop prospects appeared to be bringing little selling pressure against the new crop months. At any rate offerings were limited all along the line and when prominent bull brok- CTS were seen to have buying orders for old crop positions recent sellers began to cover. The market advanced in con- sequence and at one time during the afternoon May sold at 1450c or IS
 points above closing figures of last night and about II points above July, comparing with a difference of only Il points at the close of business on Wednesday.
 New crop positions advanced in keep ing with the summer months. but the upward movement was checked at net
 gain of about s@13 points by realizing and subsequent fluctuations were some what irregular. The close, however. was within or 8 points of the best. The into sight movement for the week Is being estimated at from S0,000 I to S5,000 bales, compared with 97,0o0 Hast week and 112.000 last year.

THE DRY WEATHER
 FURRY COLLAPSES
Wheat Closes Higher and Fear of Injury to the
 Crop Vanishes

Chicago, March 23.-Collapse of the dry The fact was authoritatively pointed out that the rainfall upon which the spring crop depends does not arrive as rule until after April l. In consequence, the market closed A@ssc lower to shade higher than last night. Corn finished ss91ac down, oats 1sc off to 1-1sc up and hog products unchanged to 25c above.
 Heaviness of cash wheat acted as a drag on the whole list of futures, but in particular upon May The premium narrowed on that month to 1ac at one time. September figures meanwhile went above July for the first time this sea- son. A large part of the days business consisted in the buying of deferred op- tions against sales of May.
 During the early hours dry weather talk from the northwest helped the bulls. En- thusiasm cooled later, when word was re- ceived that the best informed people in Minneapolis were not worried yet by drouth conditions. Moreover, experts here declared that Minnesota and South Da- kota as well, as North Dakota, all had extra moisture in February and that any how it was altogether too soon for a scare concerning dryness northwest. Thereafter the course of prices headed downward. At the close, though, steady tone prevailed, high and low levels for May being 909sQ901ac and S9as@S9s4o, with the last sales at S97se, net decline of A@3sc.
 There was considerable local pressure on corn, so that when wheat turned weak the coarser grain made sharp descent. Weather conditions were favorable, east ern demand little if any improved. and receipts at the larger distributing centers much heavier than year ago. May ranged from 4S4@4S!sc and closed ssc net lower at 4SA@4Sssc. Cash corn was steady. No. yellow finished at 47kQ 47s4c.
 Oats after a rise due to covering by shorts declined at the last under gen. eral selling. Reports from the south and southwest said that seeding was making good progress. Top and bottom price limits for May were s1lsG31Ac. and SoA@ so5ac, with the close lsc down at 907sc.
 A falling off in the price of hogs car ried provisions along. At the end of the day pork had sank 121a@25c; lard was unchanged to 5c lower and ribs off Sc tc 1oc.
