HEAVY DEMAND 0N
 PRODUCE MARKET
Increasing Strength Shown in Cotton Market-Brok-
 CTS Covering Contracts

Bright, spring-lilSe weather brought on a brisk demand among fruit and produce dealers. and the indications are that the weekend trade in all lines will prove ex- ceptionally heavy. The demand for fish Is heavy; but supplies, with the excep- ton of snapper. are scarce. Snapper ha s been very plentiful all the week. several carloads having been received in Bir- mingham Eggs are very plentiful. but the demand is only fair. Todays ouo- tation on fresh country is 1sc, a reduction of Pc per dozen.
 The Birmingham cotton market shows increasing strength, although spot prices remair. unchanged at today's opening. Re- ports from New Orleans and New York exchanges showed a fair demand, brokers evidently desiring to cover such contracts as could be secured at reasonable auo- tatfons. and reports of this kind tend to bolster up the local market
 Reports from Liverpool and New York show that few dealers have any faith in reports indicating an early discontinuance of hostilities; and those from Washington indicate that the United States govern ment will continue it's efforts to secure permission of the English authorities for American dealers to make deliveries of cotton contracted before the contra band measure was put in effect.

insurance is reported 10 be held at prae- tically prohibitive rates. except where underwriters are relieved from claims arising from detention or seizure by the British government.or it's allies. It Is ap- prehended that the situation in this re- spect may prevent further direct exports to Germany and possibly restrict the movement to certain of the neutral ports.
 There have been rumors, in fact, that exporters were endeavoring to relet ocean freight room. and predictions have been more or less general that unless the situ- ation in this respect soon improves. scot ton held in sais country for German and Austrian account may either be offered for resale or hedged in the contract mar kets. Such considerations. combined with uncertainties as to the development of new crop prospects. and the stability Of remaining spot holders have doubtless checked fresh buying for long account
 Daily clearances however have con tinned liberal and the interior towns are now showing considerable decrease. Faii- ures of the apprehended restriction on ex- por,s tu cause immediate weakness in the spot markets has also served to offset some Of the less favorable features.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 5.-(Special. )--To- day our market recovered the entire decline of yesterday, closing steady. Less was heard of the rumors of the delivery of undesirable cotton as il soon became apparent that the rights of buyers would be fully protected, or that they were perfectly able to pro- tect. themselves
 Absence of any pressure from the south. Continued large exports. coupled with some rurnors of peace prnposi- tions, were given as the reasons for the improvement. More probable than all was the strength of the foreign markets. which were not disposed to follow the weakness here.

GREAT STRENGTH SHOWN BY COTTON Strong Buying Is in Evi- dence During Session at
 New Orleans

New Orleans, March 5.--Great strength was displayed by cotton today after a short period of easiness around the open ing. g -ong buying was in evidence, al- though the ring was unable to name the interests who were leading in the buy ing. Shorts covered in confusion and sentiment was more bulish among profess sional traders than it has been for long time.
 Higher spot markets were given as one of the reasons for the advance in futures. although many brokers claimed that spots were following futures. After the advance was well under w6y the rumor was spread about that Austria would soon ask for peace. This undoubtedly brought in many buying orders although there was nothing in the reliable reports of the day to confirm the rumor.
 In the first trades prices were 1 to points over yesterdays close on favor able cables, but heavy offerings met this small rise and prices were forced to points down. On this decline buying wave developed upon which the market rose IS to 20 points, reaching it's highest level late in the session. The close was a net gain for the day of 13 to IS points

WHEAT DISTURBED BY EXPORT FEARS Market Is Unsettled, But With Little Change
 in Prices

Chicago, March 5-Fears that export demand for wheat from the United States might suddenly halt had disturbing effect today on prices but at the finish the market, although unsettled, was at the same level as last night to 1ssc off. Corn closed isMi4c down, and oats at a decline of isusc. Provisions wound up with gains of 2iz@1oc.
 Improved cash demand steaded corn even more than wheat. Nevertheless, there was much selling by speculative holders and by shorts. Oats took the same course as other grain Seaboard call remained strongly in evidence.
 Higher prices for hogs lifted provisions.
