PRICES STEADY ON
 COTTON MARKET
Professional Traders Are Inclined to Think the
 Market OversOld

New Orleans, April 3.--After period of easiness in the early trading today the cotton market steadied, gradually recovered it's loss and finally went to a net rise. Late in the session, after the posting of spot revisions, which reduced the premium on the higher grades, but left mddling unchanged lat 1188c, the highest levels were reached. Higher trading months stood at net gai nof to Il points, as com pared with a net loss of to 10 points at the lowest levels of the day. From the lowest to the highest there was a rise of 1 , to 20 points on the most ac- tive months. The close was at a net gain of 6 to points
 The initial decline was brought about by free selling, based on poor cables and reports of rain IT Texas, which bearishly inclined traders though marked the complete breaking up of of drouth conditions in the extreme western belt. Political conditions also caused unfavorable comment. Many professionals were inclined to think the market oversold and they took the long side for a turn. Their purchases had an immediate and stimulating eff feet on values.

BUSINESS QUIET ON COTTON MARKET
Market Opened at Decline, But Soon Rallied on Of-
 fering of Old Crop

New York, April 3.-Realtively easy cables and a favorable view of weather conditions caused an opening decline in the cotton market. but prices soon ral- lied, with July contracts selling up from i1.S6Q1201 and closing at 1900. The gen. eral list closed steady at a net advance of to points for the day.
 There was a renewal of the scattered selling movement which developed here on Saturday at the opening. The cables were several points lower than due while the weather map showed that there had been good rains in the southwest pass ing eastward over the central and east ern belts. It was considered that the T exas drouth had been pretty well broken, while the rains to the eastward were regarded as favorable, and after opening to points lower, active months sold about to points under Saturday s closing figures during the first few minutes. The opening here was better than due on the cables, and Liverpool sold new crop months at the narrowed difference, but the offerings were ap- sorbed, and the market quickly steadled on trade buying of old crop months. It seemed that the absence of southern hedge selling, or other indications of spot pressure, was a disappointment to some of Saturdays scattered sellers, and covering became somewhat of a factor as prices worked higher. General busi- ness continued very quiet, but the market showed a very good undertone with May selling up from 11.77111 soc, October from Il .93li12.09c and December from 12.10G 1226c, or about to g points net higher; the close was within or 3 points of the best.
 There was feeling in certain circles that the decline in Liverpool mad been partly due to easier freight rates, and sentiment around the ring seemed to be pretty well divided. Trade buying was supposed to be partly against sales of shorts to eastern spinners.

DESULTORY TRADING

Lack of Interest Counter balanced by Activity of

New York, April 3.-Stoclzs opened the week with wide variety of gains that embraced almost every part of the list except the more potential investment issue. Rails were barely steady and oc- cssionally heavy, New York Central suffering another temporary setback. trading was of the same desultory character as that which attended the major operation of the preceding month A further lack of public interest was noted, but this was partly counterbal- anced by greater activity in well known specialties, such al Crucible Steel and American Locomotive in the war group, the motors, sugars and distilling issues also loomed into prominence on the con- tinued advance in that metal. which rose to S3& cents an ounce it's maximum price slnce the outbreak of the war.

Sugar Market

New York, April 3.-The sugar market was quiet in all departments today In raws no sales were reported, but the un- oertone was steady and while there may have been some supplies available at 15-l6 cents, cost and freight, holders generally were asking sc, but refiners were again indifferent and inclined to await developments. The offerings of Forto Ricos were again at slight conces- slons, and these later offerings may have been the reason for~the waiting attitude or refiners. In the absence of business spot prices were nominally unchanged at 5.26c for centrifugal, 5.19c for molasses and 15-16 cents for Cubas, cost and freight.
 In refined there were good with drawals on old contract but new busi- ness was light and no further sales were reported for export. Prices were firmly held at 7@7.10c for fine granulated.
 In futures the underrone was steady but the volume of business was not large and operators seemed to be awaiting fresh developments in the spot market There were some scattered buying by trade interests and shorts. Closing prices were to points net higher for the active positions. July sold from 490u 496c, closing 4.96c; September, 4926D4. .97c closing 4.95c; December 4.51@4. 53c, closing 4.52c.

WHEAT PRICES TAKE
 B|G UPWARD SWING
Short Crops Give Incentive to Buyers and Foreign De-
 mand Is Much Better

Chicago, April 3.-wheat ran up 5 cents a bushel in value today. chiefly because of predictions that the do-
 nestle winter crop this season would
 be 165,000,00O bushels less than the yield in 1915. The market closed strong. As @4%c net higher with May at $1.201s and July at s1.193s. Corn gained $ O a4c to 1c. and oats 15@1Ac. In provisions the outcome varied from the same as Saturdays finish to 1Oc higher. Broad activity as we'll as big up-
 ward swing to prices kept traders on edge all day in the wheat pit Despite liberal profit taking reactions were at no time long, continued or of any great extent. Right from the start, the main incentive to buyers was 8 statement rom leading expert here estimat- ing the condition of the winter cron Tn the United States as the lowest for any corresponding time since 1904 fSS per cent, against SS.5 per cent a year ago. On this basis, the probable
 maximum yield for 1916 was put at 490.- oo0,0OO bushels, compared with 655- Voooo0 bushels in 1915. Aside from this statement, dispatches were at hand tell ing or crop damage in nearly all parts of the winter wheat belt and laying especial stress on the need of rain in Kansas and Nebraska.
 foreigners took hold freely in the buying of future deliveries of wheat ana besides purchasing 750,O0O bushels TOT immediate export. In this connec- ton, decided significance was attached to word that reserves of wheat in Hol iand were exhaused and that the Dutch government had decided to obtain in America 100000 tons over and above the ordinary monthly quota. Today's top figures showed that in a week tbe market had made an extreme gain of 13 3Ss a bushe1
 Corn strength was derived mainly rom wheat. The bulls, however.
 pointed out also that receipts were
 small, the visible supply falling off.
 and that large sales of corn were be- Ing made at Kansas City to go to Bal timore.
 oats were bullish1y affected by re- ports ot delay to seeding in some sec- tlons. In addition there were adyices or probable big decrease of acrea ee in Canada.
 Provisions advanced in sympathy with grain and hogs. During the late transactions, though, realizing sales by holders wiped out most of the gains.

Ayery's Letter

The bull features in the cotton market, as I see them, are: F7irst-Tuge consumption by American
 mills.
 Second-C Continental stocks almost noth- ing and Liverpool stock of American cot ton down to 66000O bales, the smallest at this time of year since 1904. Third-American visible supply 3,SS7, ,000, and consumption has averaged 1,246,000 bales per month for the past eight months. Figuring on basis of only 800 coo per month for the balance of the season, or nearly 450,Go0 bales less than the present rate, there will be 3200,0 900 of this visible supply consumed, by the end of July.
 Fourth-No possibility of an early movement of new cotton during July of any consequence, because of the long continued drouth in southwest Texas, from which section an early movement always comes.
 Fffth-The extreme steadiness Of all spot markets and the discount at which futures are under spots. SiXth-Each day the war continues
 brings us nearer it's end, at which time
 we will find the world competitive bid-
 ders for our limited stock of raw cot
 ton which will barely suffice to fill the commitments which American spinners
 alone have made far into the next year.
 On the other hand I find but one bear
 factor, which consists of a prospective
 increase in acreage of possibly 15 per
 cent over that of last year, which was
 the smallest since 1907.
 As an offset in the increase in acreage
 there is a decrease in the use of fertil-
 izer, according to one statistician, of 43
 per cent.
 This looks to me to be debit and credit statement of the cotton situation and presages very much higher prices

New York, April 3.-On lower Liver pool market than expected, due to fur ther rains in Texas, the prices this morn ing declined some points. and there- fore advanced on dispatches in New Or leans reporting a decline in freight rates to Liverpool, which might lead to an increasing demand for cotton for export The local traders are in favor of the cotton market on the present basis of values. as they do not see any pressure to sell from any source excepting under the influence of fine prospects for the growing crop. Looking forward. as they do towards the time when the war will terminate they are disposed to buy when ever the market recedes believing the present surplus will be carried over into the next crop unless a large yield is in vAw.
