COTTON MARKET
 GENERALLY HIGHER
Higher Cables Than Ex- pected-Market Closed
 Firm at Net Advance

New York, March a6-The cotton mar ket was generally higher today on re- newal of bull support and covering by recent sellers, who appeared to be rem dered uneasy by apprehensions of further unsettled weather in the belt or of floods in the lower Mississippi valley. The close was firm at net advance of from to 10 points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 1 to points in sympathy with higher cables than expected, but quickly eased off to about the closing figures of yes terday owing to a renewal of yesterday s selling movement which had the encour- agement of favorable eastern belt fore cast, and the early weather map shoFing no precipitation in the south, and rising temperatures following the cold snap of yesterday. Offerings were very well ab- sorbed on this decline, owing, probably, to the irmness of Liverpool and following the western belt forecast for unsettled weather The market turned firmer on covering by recent sellers with prices gradually working some or. points above the closing figures of last night. Realizing checked the advance during the middle of the day. and 1t is possible that some selling was promoted by reports of mill strikes in sections of New England, and where wage advances >have not yet been granted, but reactions were limited, and the market later turned firmer again on a renewal of uptown bull support and continued covering. This advance was &C., companied by rumors of overfiows in some of the southern rivers, which, how ever, lacked confirmation, and in the late trading there were also rumors that near months shorts were finding it very diff ficult to get cotton here for delivery from the south. Prices reached the best point in the last half hour, when active months sold about 10 to F points net higher, and the close was within a point or two of the best on these positions.
 Receipts, 2967S bales, against S2,3l0 last week and 9673 last year. Today's receipts at Galveston, 9032, against 1915 last year; at New Orleans, 5351, against 369 last year. and at Houston, 52O6, against @l4 last year.

PRICES CARRIED
 ID HIGHER LEVEL
Export Sales and Alleged Crop Damage RespOnsi-
 ble-ClOse Firm

Chicago, March 26.-Export sales and alleged crop damage carried wheat prices today to a higher level The close was firm and ssc above last night. Corn made net advance of ss@s4c. oats gain of 14assc. and hog products became more expensive by 1s1sdS0c.
 Wheat finished at almost the top point of the session. Seaboard sales for ocean shipment were said to amount to 176,0OO bushels. The fact that the foreign de- mand showed itself at more than one port tended to emphasize bullish feel ing. Besides domestic cash interests eX- hibited an alertness not much in evidence of late. One reason was that California millers had put up the price of flour 4oc per barrel, and were proposing another lift because of an active call from Mexico and China
 Decreasing supplies of wheat at Liver pool counted also against the hears, and so did also Argentine news of unfavor- able weather for shipping. Ohio and other states east of the Missouri river fur nished pessimistic crop news regarding late sown winter wheat, and more than offset early dispatches of different tenor from the west During the session May ranged from s1.021h to $1.0S%, with last sales at sl.OS1sa1 .03ss, an upturn of %0 5sc compared with 24 hours before,
 Corn equalled about the top price of the season and ended within a shade of the best of the day. The market began easier on account of the mild weather, but tl.sre was liberal buying for manu- lecturers, and at the same time a little improvement in the cash demand from the east materialized. May ranged be- tween 71ss@71s4c and 727sc closing steady 5s4Ac mp at 72s4a727sc.
 Cash grades were easy. No yellow was quoted at 711s@72c for car lots.
 Talk of decreased acreage on account oi late seeding helped to put new shirt on the price of oats. Predicted rains west promised to cause further delay to spring work. Limits touched for May op- tions were 535sc and 54lsc, with the close l4c net higher at 54c.
 Provisions showed strength all day. but most especially after the verdict of ac- quittal in the packers case came. Ad- vances for corn and hogs appeared to ex- ert considerable influence in the direction of higher prices. The sharpest rise was for pork, 25c to BOG per barrel being re- quested.

STEEL INCLINED
 ID HEAV|NESS
Stocks Paused in Upward Flight While Some Rose
 to Higher Prices

New York, March 26.-Stocks paused in their upward flight today at least some of them did, while others of less market influence rose to higher prices The most noteworthy exception to the general ten dency was Amalgamated Copper, which ascended to a higher level on announce- ment that the selling agencies were re- jecting bids for the metal at 15ase per pound, it's highest figure in almost five years. The movement elsewhere bore in- disputable evidence that the market for time at least had absorbed all it could comfortably digest
 American Shifting whose meteoric rise fa the last few days attracted so much at- tention, was inclined to heaviness from the outset, as were United States Steei and a majority of the standard raiiWay shares. Most of these issues were oil point or more before noon, and later made further reeessions on aggressive snort selling. As an offset, many minor issues, \ including American Can. American Beet Sugar, corn products, the electrical and the independent steel shares, were a point or two above yesterday The rise in these securities failed to enlist popular support, however, ana some Tell Ddck
 Abrupt declines in Union Pacific and Steel in the early afternoon, with further weakness in Smelling, wiped out much of the sudden rise on the Amalgamated Copper and the undertone became heavier than before. The setback coinclded with cables from London stating that the Eng fish mine owners were not very hopeful of an early solution of the strike situation, and decision of our railway engineers to vote on the question of a strike.
 Prices rallied a point or more from the lowest in the last hour. spirited buying of Reading and an increased demand for the local fractions especially Interbor- ough preferred. Other features of strength in the late trading were Missouri Pacific, International Harvester and American Beet Sugar, the latter adding to it's early gain. Regardless of circum- stantial rumors that copper metal had risen to 151sc, Amalgamated failed to hold more than the smallest fraction of it's mid day gain. Anconda, directors met popular expectations by declaring the regular quarterly dividend Amalgamated which controls Anconda, will hold dividend meeting early in April, and the street. looks for an increase over the present rate.
 London was a seller here probably to inc extent of 25,000 shares, mostly Steel, and supposedly long stock. American se- curities carried f per cent rate over the. London settlement
 Increasing tension in the domestic coal situation was found in the curtailment of coal movements by water out of Pitts burg.
 Owing to a nominal increase in operat- ing expenses, the Atchison road was en- abled to return an excellent statement for February, it's net earnings for that month increasing S526000.

 United States government bonds were unchanged on call.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, March 26-cotton fu- lures opened steady at a decline of to 8 points. Cablegrams were slightly better than expected, but the weather map was very favorable and encour- aged short selling.
 No rain at all was reported in the cotton country over night and tele- phone advices from many sections widely scattered. stated farmers were making rapid headway toward getting the new crop planted.
 The forecast was not so favorable as rain and unsettled weather was pre- dicted for the western half of the belt. This steadied the market
 Soon after the call prices were to 3 points down. At the end Iof the first half hour they were 1 point up to point down compared with yester- days close.
 The market was quiet but steady throughout the early session. Reports of more labor trouble among New Eng land mills and the acquittal of the meat packers had no effect. The re- luctance to take on spot cotton was the chief sustaining influence. Teleggams from oklahoma and parts of Texas stated that next to no cotton was left in farmers hands. At noon prices were to 4 points over yesterdays

New York, March Especial )-Tha market had another excessively dull day with desultory trading mainly for local account and a fair arbitrage business with Liverpool.
 The market is in a rut with liquidation looked for unless fresh period of pad weather should follow. Reports from the goods trade are favorable with many con- tracts with mills extending late into the season. The weather is better and but few complaints are received. The coal strike situation is less hopeful, keeping buyers aloof
