COTTON MARKET HAS
STEADY UNDERTONE
Demand at All Times Princi-
pally From Shorts
Close Quiet

New Orleans, March. 1S.-Cotton had n
steady undertone throughout today's ses-
sion, in spite of a small recession in
the early trading. The demand at all
times was principally from shorts who
wanted to even up over the coming triple
holidays. Weather conditions over the
belt were favorable and the forecast
promised no change in them, which led to
some little fresh short selling but at no
time did tho market have real selling
power and, at times. offerings were
scanty.
The tone on the opening was steady
and prices were to points offe Cables
were Indifferent; the bear side was en-
couraged by the dry weather map and a
little later by the forecast OF fair and
warmer weather for the entire cotton re-
gion. At the lowest in the early trad
ing prices were to points under the
last figures of yesterday. The market
improved around the middle of the MORN
ing and market comment was that the
short interest was large. At noon the
market displayed slight net advance
which, in the afternoon. was widened to
or points. The close was quiet with
prices unchanged to points UP. COM
pared with the last quotations of yester.
day.
The census bureau report today showinf
consumption of 466,933 bales of cotton In
this country during February was called
bearish by the short side because 1t In
dicated falling off compared with jan
uary and led to a small amount of short
selling. Bulls called attention to the fact
that February was a short month.

PRICES ADVANCE
IN WHEAT MARKET
Buying on Theory that Rally
About Due Chiefly
Responsible

Chicago, March 1S.-Buying Of wheat
on the theory that a rally was due after
a long period of depression served to ad-
vance prices today.
A firm tone was manifest at the close
with prices AQssc to 1kdssc above last
nights figures. Corn was firm, AQ3sc
to &c higher at the close. Oats, Ac to
14@9sc net higher and provisions ranging
from &c lower to 10o advance
The view that buying rally in wheat
was due was aided by the unexpected
firmness of cables. The trade looked for
a weak Liverpool market but advices
from there told of active buying on in
creased continental demand, and increased
inquiry for wheat by millers. Export sales
here, in Minneapolis and at Buffalo added
to bullish sentiment. as did also light
receipts in the northwest. Despite the
fact that there was an increase of $500, ,00t
bushels in tho worlds available supply OF
wheat and the official announcement that
the 1912 worlds crop was the largest or
record, price reactions were only slight
and BRIEF Bulls pointed out that chances
for further export sales were increased
by the fact that the difference in prices
here and abroad were the greatest of the
year. Closing prices hero accordingly
were at the high mark for the day.
Seaboard clearances of wheat ard -four
equaled $4,000 bushels. Primary receipts
of wheat were $4,000 bushels, against 254,
600 one year ago. Expectation of lighter
receipts because of the APPROACH of milder
weather, promoting spring operations on
the farms gave strength to corn. The trade
also had reports that the country had
largely stopped selling.
Oats proved relatively firmer than other
grains, the main reason being influential
buying of oats against sales OF corn.
Light receipts Of hogs carried provisions
higher. Packers, however, presumably
for effect at the yards, did considerable
selling and largely offset the advance

SELLING HEAVIEST
IN LEADING ISSUES
Net Loss Small in Most In
stances-New Low Figure
in Union Pacific

New York, March 1s.-Until the last
half hour of trading today movements of
the important speculative stocks were
confined to fractions and much OF the
time the market was nearly at a stand
still.
The list was under pressure in the
closing trading, with selling heaviest in
Union Pacific, Reading, Steel and Anal
gamated.
Net losses on the day were small in
most cases. Union Pacific sold down to
l46h, a new low figure. Liquidation of
New Haven and some of the specialties
continued. New Haven dropped to 1885,
a new low price. Among the industrials
Rumeley fell ~ and Goodrich and Cali
fornia petroleum sold at new low figures
for the decline The general list was not
affected, however, until the final drive
was made The approach of the Easter
holidays, International money conditions,
uncertainties regarding the Hartman
dissolution proceedings, and tariff legis-
lation all tended to reduce speculative
operations.
/ The late selling may have been influ-
enced by cables from abroad telling of
the assassination of tho king of Greece
and the resignation OF the French cabi-
net. Another bearfsh factor was the an
3 nouncement of the engagement of $1,000,
!. COO more gold for France, making total
of $23, 900 to that country this year.
In spite of these additional engagements,
the money market here was slightly
easier. No decided relaxation In rates is
looked for, however, at this time. The
bond market was irregular. Denver and
Rio Grande refunding 5s developed un-
usual weakness and lost 2 points. Total
sales, par value, $1,424,000. United States
bonds on call unchanged.

COTTON UNCHANGED
TO 3 POINTS LOWER
Market Fluctuates Within
Range of 7 or 8 Points
With Close Quiet

New York, March 1s.-The cotton mar
ket was comparatively quiet today and
fiuctuated within a range of 7 or
points, with the close quiet, net un-
changed to 3 points lower.
The market opened barely steady at a
decline of l to points and sold of an
other point or two during the early
trading under scattering liquidation in
spired by reports of generally clear and
warmer weather In the south and some
little disappointment over the showing of
terday's local setback.
The census report on supply and dis
tribution was given bearish construc-
ton by some, who emphasized the large
domestic mill stocks, amounting to 1885,
COO on March 1, or equal to a little over
four months requirements and may pos
sibly have encouraged some of the early
selling. On the other hand, the report
showed a continuance of record breaking 8
consumption, and, on the whole, seemed
to be considered about a standoff, while
the market soon steadied up from the
opening decline on foreign buying, COW
ering and scattering support from some
of the local spot houses.
Reports of g. fair export demand in the
Memphis market probably helped the
rally, which carried prices back to prac-
tically the closing figures of last night,
while there was also some buying on
private predictions of renewed rains in
the belt within the next 36 hours. The
close was a shade off from the best on
most months but the market showed a
fairly steady undertone in the late trad
ing, although reports were received from
New Orleans that interior offerings were
on a>slighuy easier basis.
Domestic mill consumption of 466, COO
bales for the month OF February brought
the total consumption for the first six
months of the season to about 2,6S7, ,0c0
bales, or at the rate of Approximately
$4,000 bales per year. Bullish traders
calculated that IL consumption remained
at this rate, domestic mills must take
we'll over 100000 bales more to maintain
stock Of 10000 bales at the end of the
current season.
