COTTON ADVANCES
AND DECLINES
Makes New High Ground for the
Movement, but Loses
Part of Gain.

May contracts were in urgent demand In
the cotton market yesterday. and a con-
tinued demand for old crop months
forced prices to new high ground for the
movement. There was considerable I'M
easiness among new crop shorts at times
and there was some fresh buying sup
posed TO be against forward sales to
mills Liverpool was heavy buyer
early. and one OF the big spot interests
was credited with securing about $1,000
bales within range OF three points
The active buying of the May option led
10 the belief that the short interest must
still be large, or that some interests
have taken the bull side. Realization was
heavy all day, and there was a reaction
in the late trading which left the close
steady at net gains for the day OF to
points. Southern spot markets were
unchanged, and the local market was
quiet at lS.i0c for middling upland: no
sales. Local contract prices:

GRAIN MARKETS
HOLD STEADY
Wheat Loses an Advance
Corn and Oats GAIN
Coffee Down.

Stories about green bugs in the South
western wheat fields had an effect on
prices in the local market yesterday
through making dealers cautious about
taking the selling side. The result was a
steady to firm market most OF the day.
with the general run about 1Sc up from
the low OF Tuesday. A late reaction,
however, left the market at the close I'M
changed TO &c lower. Price changes in
corn were influenced by frmer cash mar
kets IN the West and liberal Argentine
offers. Long corn came out freely on the
advance, and the close was unchanged
for the general list, with May showing
an advance of nc. Oats followed corn,
closing unchanged TO &c net advance.
Coffee trading was a quiet affair, dis
