has led to heavy reiections of cotton shipped here with the intention of mak- inE contract deliveries. but it is rumored that the board of managers has refused to consider protests of over-strietness and the failure of the certified stock to in- fease is considered chiefly responsible for the covering movement The atten- ton of the trade has been practically monopoiized by the situation in the near position and but little interest has been in evidence in the daily news or in the ccntsus bureau.
 The supply and distribution figures for February indicated a well sustained vol ume of American mill activity, while the production figures, issued today, proved practically in line with tile recent aver age views of the yield.
 Private cables have been received claiming a poor trade in Manchester. Liverpool spot sales, however. have con tinued heavy. and private adviees as we'll as the failure of New York to draw cotton have indicated continued steady spot situation in the south.
 The short interest in old crop months is supposed to have been considerably re- dueed. and there, has been some talk of renewed decline on that theory. but local bulls arc predicting higher prices on the ground that large spot interest still remains outstanding, and that any un- favorable feature in the new crop start would increase the difficulty of the new months

REACTIONS FOLLOW
 AN EARLY ADVANCE
Market Hardens Later Clos ing With Net Gain of 23.
 Points on March

New York, March 20.--Old crop shorts showed renewed nervousness in cotton to- day and demand sent prices into new high ground for the movement. Reac- tions followed an early advance, but sell CTS were far from aggressive, and the market firmed up again with the close steady at a net gain of 23 points on March and of to il points on later months. March closed 74 points over May. while May showed a premium of about 25 points over July contracts. The report of the census bureau on ginning appeared to be about in line with average expectations, and was not an important factor, al though it may have caused some of the early covering.
 Cables were about as due, but the local market opened firm at advance of 15 points on March and of 3 to points on other months. Stop orders were un- covered as prices made new high ground for the movement, and the general list sold about 10 to 12 higher shortly after the call.
 Rumors that the board of managers of the New York Cotton exchange had sus-
 
 grading of cotton intended for contract delivery seemed to increase the anxiety of the May short interest, while the ad- vance also was encouraged by reports of unsettled southern weather.
 After execution of stop orders, the mar ket became less active, and prices eased several points, but there was no selling, and March contracts were continued a point or above the early high level
 Closing nripaS fn s nff from the best on the more active posi- tions. Weekend figures seemed to att tract comparatively little attention, and the talk around the ring suggested that operators were chiefly interested in con lectures as the extent of the remaining old crop short interest, and the chances of bringing cotton here more freely from the south with advance of the plainting season.
