DAMAGE H|NTED IN
NORTHERN TEXAS.
Suggestion Tends to Dispel
Heaviness, Prices Clos
ing Fairly Steady

Chicago, February ia suggestion of
Oklahoma and parts of Kansas and Ne
braska. ten>ed somewhat to dispel heavi-
ness today in the wheat market here. AS
result prices closed fairly steady a
shade off to a like amount up
Corn's outcome was unchanged to "a
Ac lower, and for oats virtually the same
as yesterday Provisions finished all the
way from last nights level to 7lkq101kc
lower.
At the outset wheat weakened on ac-
count of declining prices at Liverpool.
notwithstanding that the foreign setback
was chiefly due to optimistic field ad-
vises from this side of the water. A re-
markable decrease in shipments from
Argentina, however, served to check the
bears. Sellers We're made less ventur-
some. too, by Odessa cables, saying re-
ceipts there were light and interior re-
serves small
Domestic reports of damage to winter
wheat west and southwest were not OF
radical sort. They were stressed, too,
by severe weather in northwest Russia
and in Austro- Hungary and France. Ow-
ing TO the absence of any special ac-
tivity by export houses or on the part
of millers, the best prices of the session
were not maintained.
Bear spectators hammered the corn
market. but made no decided impression.
Chances of unsettled weather, bad roads
and smaller receipts interfered.
Oats were upheld by continued lightness
of primary receipts. Free selling of lard
by packers weighted down provisions.
The market also felt the effect of a slump
in the price of hogs.
Future quotations were as follows:

COTTON SHOWS NO
SPECIAL FEATURE.
Trading Quiet, Prices Rule
Generally Steady; Close
Z Points Higher

New York, February 19.-Cotton today
showed no special feature. Trading was
quiet, but prices ruled generally steady,
and the close was steady, net unchanged
to points higher. Rumors that hard
yarn spinners had not agreed to any short
time proposition and reports of steady
southern spot markets seemed chief fac
tors on rally from an opening decline.
The opening was steady at an advance
of point to decline of 9 points, about
as due on cables. There was some scat
tering liquidation at the start and there
seemed to be some selling of May and
July by houses with Liverpool connec-
tions. Active months eased some . or 3
points under this pressure, but offer
ings were taken by short covering or a
little trade buying and prices later rallied
in the absence of any important selling.
Liverpool turned buyer here late In the
afternoon, taking May and July and help
ing the late markets tone Active
months were some or points net high
er at the close.
Private cables reported a quiet mar
ket In Liverpool and said that prices had
been steaded by good spot demand in
spite of some scattering liquidation. Pri-
vate wires from the southwest claimed
that there was a good demand for all
grades, and said that cotton was rapidly
disappearing from the interior. There
was, however. very little news from the
south of immediate market Importance,
and there was hardly anything in the
days trading to suggest any change in
the general situation.

Market Steady Despite Con-
siderable Liquidation by
the Long Side
By HOP

New orleans, February 19.-While q
considerable amount of liquidation came
from the long side at times today, the
cotton market held steady and closed at
a net gain of to points. Selling out
was chiefly in preparation for the coming
holidays, The highest levels we're to
points over yesterdays final figures.
Continued favorable reports from the
spot market of the south, the claim that
the demand was extending to the Tower
grades and the growing belief In largo
March commitments were the main bullish
features. Rains in Texas and other inn
portant sections of the belt revived bear
ish talk regarding the new crop. At the
lowest of the day prices were only
point under yesterdays close.
