COTTON MARKET
QUIET AT CLOSE
The Market Opens Steady.
Demand Is Not
Aggressive

New York. March 19.-Trading in the
cotton market today appeared to be chief
ly in the way of evening up accounts
for over the census ginning report tomor-
row and the Easter holidays.
An early advance was followed by re-
actions, but the market was quiet at the
close with prices to points net higher.
The market opened steady at a decline
of points on March, but later months
were a point higher, and the general list
firmed up right after the call. Predictions
for renewal of general rains in the
south and reports of steady spot sit
uation probably inspired scattered COW
ering while there was also some foreign
buying and a little further support from
trade sources. The demand did not be-
come aggressive or general, but prices
gradually worked upward and during the
middle of the day showed net gains of
from to points. At this level there
was considerable realizing by early or
recent buyers and when an impression
had been created that the scattered short
interest was pretty well covered, offer
ings increased slightly. Prices eased off
to within a point or two of yesterday $
closing figures in consequence, but de-
veloped no weakness and closed or
points up from the lowest. The census
report, Which is to be issued at the open
ing tomorrow, is the final ginning re-
port of the season, although the figures
are subject to minor corrections. 1t will
give the amount of cotton ginned to March
1. an estimate of the amount remaining
to be ginned and the seasons linters Ac-
cording to most of the talk in the local
trade the report Is expected to show
total crop including linters of from 1400O,-
900 to IA, 100000 bales, comparing with lit
tie over 100000 bales last year. Eastern
belt advices report that recent rains have
delayed crop work to some extent, but
that the ground had received good prelim-
mary cultivation and that there is an in
cination to increase acreage should the
planting season be favorable. All three of
the big contract markets will be closed
on Friday and Saturday, while Liverpool
will also be closed on Monday.

MARKET COMMENT
BEAR|SH IN TONE
Cotton Dull But Steady
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Are
Heavy Buyers

New Orleans, March 19.-Cotton was
dull but steady throughout today's ses-
sion of the market. At no time were
prices under the level OF yesterdays close.
although market comment was bearish in
tone. Shorts were heavy buyers of COW
ers to even up over tomorrow's census
bureau report on ginning and the Easter
holidays. and the demand was rather
more than the market could support ex-
eept rise in prices.
The opening was steady at an advance
of | to points on good cables. The de-
mand on the first call was large in view
of the good weather map. little later
the demand increased on the forecast of
rain for the entire sotton belt This
change for the worse in weather condi-
tions had its influence during the re-
malnder. of the day. At the highest the
trading months were 6 to 9 points up.
After the noon hour there was little ac-
tivity around the ring. The close was
steady at a net advance OF to 3 points.
Reports of an Improvement In the spot
demand at points in the south were a
help to the market in the afternoon, but
locally spots lost one-sixteenth, and were
quoted steady at the decline.

Coffee Market

New York, March 19.-Coffee futures
opened steady at a decline of 10 to 20
points, under renewed liquidation and bear
pressure, inspired by the declining ten
dency of the cost and freight market and
lower European cables. After easing off
another or points prices rallied slightly
on steadier closing cables from Havre.
but offerings continued heavy, as there
seemed no other change in the general
character of the news and no improve
ment was reported in spot demand. The
close was barely steady at a net decline
of 20 to 34 points. practically the lowest

SHARP UPTURN IN
. THE WHEAT MARKET
Close Nearly a Cent Higher
Than Tuesday = Dust
Storms in Kansas

Chicago. March 19.-Dust storms in
Kansas caused a sharp upturn today in
wheat.
The market closed strong, &c to
ss a ssc higher than yesterday.
The day ended with corn Il q ss c
higher and oats at an advance of 14c
to q a &c.
Provisions showed a net loss of 21a
@22hc.
Reports of the dust storms in the
southwest were accompanied by asser-
tions that wheat raisers were alarmed
for the safety of the growing plant.
Later reports from experts who had
traversed through the sections affect
ed said that moisture was plentiful;
that the soil was too wet to be dis
turbed by high hurricane winds, and
that the wheat was in no danger. The
trade, however, had already taken a
crop damage scare by the bit and bull
sentiment was unchecked. Higher for
.eign markets helped the advance,
cables showing a firmer tone at Liver
pool, firmer Canadian. offers and in
creased continental demand. There was
also buying export interests against
sales in Liverpool There were occa-
sional sharp reactions from the bulges,
but the market at no time was lower
than at the close yesterday afternoon,
Seaboard c1earances of wheat and flour
equalled 100000 bushels.
Primary receipts of wheat were 621,-
900 bushels, compared with 35S,000 one
year ago. Expectation of further cur
tailment of corn receipts owing to the
near opening of the busy farm season
and predictions of rough weather
helped the market. A leading house
bought on a scale that sent shorts to
cover In oats active cash demand made
friends for the bull side A sharp break
in hogs weakened the provision list.
Much of the trading consisted of
changing from near to deferred months
by longs.
Future quotations were as follows:

NO IMPROVEMENT
IN STOCK MARKET
Sentiment Bearish and Buy
ers Scarce-Final Prices
Show Little Change

New York, March 1s.-There was no
Improvement today in the stock market,
which continued slow and dragging.
Sentiment was bearish and buyers
were scarce.
Some scattering gains were made in the
morning but later the whole list went off,
a number of stocks making new low
records for the protracted decline.
Subsequently there was rally and final
prices showed comparatively small
changes.
The course of prices centered largely
around an unofficial report that the gov
ernment was to proceed against American
Smelling under the Sherman law. Smelt-
ing was sold heavily and broke points
to 637s, new low figure. The weakness
spread to the other metal stocks and sub
seouentIy the whole list sold off. Union
Pacific touched a new low point at 1457s.
When, later in the day, the Attorney Gen
era1 was reported to have denied the
Smelling rumors, the list rebounded
sharply.
Liquidation among the specialties con-
tinued.
Sugar stocks were depressed further by
selling on the part of holders who fear
the effect of revision OF the sugar tariff
American Sugar at 109s4 and Beet Sugar
at 25. reached a new low point.
Sears-Roebuck, Underwood Typewriter
can and others of the industrials sus-
tanned substantial losses. New Haver
rallied IL points after its recent severe
break. Call money touched per cent
with the prospect of a higher rate fol-
loans over the triple holiday, which be.
gins Friday. Berlin bankers were agar
bidding for funds in this market offering
s1h and per cent for loans extending
to May 1.
Bonds were weak. A number of issues
sustained severe declines. Total sales
par value, 81, ,S550OO. United States bond,
were unchanged on call.
