New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, March S.-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of to points on the report that the English coal strike had been settled and that paper borrowed month ago had not been re- turned. Cables were better than expected The weather reports were the worst re- ported so far this week. It indicated cold and wet weather in the cotton region gen orally. After the call the trading months were to s points up, but at this point the receipt of cablegrams from Liverpool stating that there was nothing official 10 the report that the strike had been settled. caused much selling and prices quickly slumped 10 to Il points.
 At the end of the first half hour the market was 3 to points under yesterday s close.
 Around the middle of the morning cable grams were received from one of the best posted cotton men in England advancing the opinion that the coal strike would he settled within four days The bear element did not agree with this but it had some effect on values and caused short selling
 to slacken.
 The weather forecast also helped the market as 1t called for rain snow and feezng temperature in the belt. Prices recovered slowly from the lowest levels of the morning, and at midday were 1 to 7 points under yesterdays close. In the afternoon the list did not move much. There was no pressure to sell. Half an hour before the close prices we're ? to , points over yesterday.

COTTON PR|CESA ARE
 LITTLE AFFECTED
Opening at Advance in Ac- cOrdance With Firm
 Cables

New York, March S.--An opening ad- vance in the cotton market established a new high mark in the crop months, and although there was some realizing during the middle of the day. the prices were lit- tie affected. There was no news of a bet ter weather condition in the south and the prices advanced from to points.
 The opening was at an advance of to 5 points in accordance with late firm cables from Liverpool, rains in the south, overnight buying orders and a renewal of bull support. Profit taking was very ac- tive around the initial figures. and prices eased off in consequence with active months selling back to a shade under the closing figures of last night during the middle of the day.
 There was little aggressive selling on this decline, however, while the market l continued to receive good support at the reaction of some 10 or 12 points from the best with considerable southern buying in evidence and as soon as realizing fo: over the week end became a little less ac- tive the market frmed up again with July touching the highest point of the day on the late trading. The close was at practically the best on old crop months and within point or two of the top on new crop positions. March again showed relative firmness compared with May, and there was some further talk of short interest In that position. Rather bullsh construction of the week end figures on account of the comparatively large spin ners' takings probably helped the market in the late trade. together with reports of q continued good spot demand and with higher southern markets. The main factor on the advance, however. seemed to be the fear of an unfavorable new crop start and while today's western belt forecast was considered rather more favorable local weather experts claimed to see little chance of improvement in eastern and central belt sections.
 Receipts today, 3o,275 bales, against 46, ,246 lasc week and 13,532 last year. Today's re- ceipts at New Orleans, 2592, against 1877 last year. at Galveston, 574S, against 599o last year. and at Houston, 4464, against 1i90 last year.

GRAIN MARKETS
 ALL CLOSED WEAK
Opening Prices in Wheat Showed Rise Due to Bull
 fish Foreign News

Chicago, March S.-Ciuesses on govern ment figures regarding farm reserves went into error today and the grain mar ton estimates which came a minute later turned out to be of decidedly bullish na- ture.
 The totals were in no case anywhere near so small as some extremists had pre- dicted. Latest trading left wheat 1sc to hc down. corn 1sc off to a shade higher, oats up hd3sc to 1sc, and hog products at sGfIl2c to 1719G20c advance.
 Reserves of wheat proved to be the soantiest since 1905. Some scattered longs who lost their courage when 1t came time to official test did most of the selling.
 The majority of spectators, though, seemed disposed to hold aloof until after the government report was out. drag ging market was the result.
 Opening prices in the wheat pit showed a rise due to bullish foreign news and to the ohio state report, which noted a crop condition of 6s per cent against SS in De- cember. The foreign strength was large ly due to almost exhausted stocks at Liv- erpool, the port strike in Australia and curtailinent of expected shipments from Argentina On the other hand. cash de- mand here was at a standstill In fact Michigan, Indiana and Illinois districts that usually buy In Chicago at this sea son were instead attempting to market wheat in this city. Accordingly, initial quotations were the best reached during the session.
 Between the opening and the close May ranged from sloS1a to $1.04is, with last sales lsa14c net lower at s1.O3iba1.OS
 In contrast with the statement that corn reserves were said to be lower than at any time since 1904. the cereal during the day developed only a slow demand. One reason was that the Argentina crop was said to promise to be bumper. Unload- ing on the part of smaller longs counted also against the market. May varied from 7Olsc to 71ssc. closing Mc off at 70lsc. Cash grades were firm No. ? yellow was quoted at 6sisd69c for car lots.
 Spectators in oats who believed in a radically bullish estimate from Wash ngton seemed afraid as a rule to commit themselves. One leading house did buy. though in a rather gingerly fashion. Their figures were later demonstrated to have been much under those of the gov ernment May sold from 52ssc to 5l9sc, and in the end was 4c up at 51k@52e.
 Shorts in the provision crowd covered on account of falling off in hog receipts. As an outcome pork tonight costs more by 17lsc to 1719d2oc and the rest of the list registered an advance from 71ac to 10e
 Future quotations were as follows:
