COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, February 24.-The cot
ton market opened steady at an ad-
vance of l to points today in response
to relatively steady cables, and the &C
tive months sold about to points

action. with March contracts touching

against March contracts. early esti-
mates placing them at less than 5000
bales. and this helped the market, as
suggesting a pretty well liquidated
near-month situation, but sentiment
was unsettled by the unfavorable view
of international politics and huctua-
tons were more or less irregular.
Private cables reported small mar
ket in Liverpool with prices steady on
shorts covering.
May, 1854; July, 1884; October, 1907:
December. 1929.
The market was unsettled later in
the morning owing to the failure of de-
mand to broaden on the early advance
and continued nervousness over the in
ternational situation. Reports were re-
ceived from both New Orleans and
Galveston indicating firm spot stu
alton, but the market here eased off to
11.29 for March, 11.50 for May and lilo
lower, under scattering liquidation and
local pressure. Eastern belt spot
houses were credited with selling here
on the early advance, but general bust
ness was quiet.
Local covering caused slight rallies
late in the noon hour, but the market
soon weakened again under renewed
and southern selling. with
March contracts breaking to 11.2O, or
within points of its recent low, while
later deliveries made new low ground
for the movement. with May selling at
11.42 and July at 1852 or 10 to 20
points net lower. Rumors of freer spot
offerings in the interior and reports
that southern spot firms were selling
here probably helped the decline.
Spot cotton quiet: middling uplands,
11.30; sales, 225 bales.

TENSION OVER GERMANY
CAUSES A WHEAT BREAK
Disturbing Rumors Result in Drop
Of More Than Seven Cents
Bushel in Price.

CHICAGO, February 24.-Disturbing
rumors that drastic consequences would
result from tension between Washing
ton and Berlin regarding Germany's
submarine policy caused a break of
more than Z cents a bushel today in
the price of wheat, as compared with
values current earlier in the session.
The gist of the rumors was that the
handing of passports to the German
ambassador was imminent.
The most sensational fall took place
in the price of the May option. which
dropped from 1.24A to III. a loss of
~. The low point was down 10 cents
a bushel as compared with figures OBJ
tanned on Monday.
For the greater part, the losses took
session and were accompanied by wild
efforts on the part of holders to unload.
Closing prices showed slight re-
action, but were 5 to 5A under yes.
July at 1.14es.
At the opening of the wheat
market today strength developed as
a result of unexpected firmness in quo
taIlonS from Liverpool ana because OF
a diminishing of receipts northwest.
Besides, there were signs that liberal
export transactions were likely at the
seaboard. 1t was predicted also that
Argentine shipments would prove much
smaller than last weeks total.
After opening u off to * up, with
May at 123% to 1885 and July at 1191s
to 119A, prices here scored substan-
tial advance all around.
Corn Prices Also Harden.
Corn hardened with wheat Commits
sion houses were moderate buyers. The
opening, which ranged from u to
Aa% higher. was followed by an ad-
ditional upturn.
Oats reflected the advance made by
other cereals. Demand, however. was
light
Steadiness characterized provisions
Traders chiefly watched the action of
the hog market.
Later the wheat market suffered
sensational break, the consequence of
bearish rumors of greatly increased
tension between the United States and
Germany. The close was semi-demor-
allied. to 5A net lower. with May
at 1.171a and July at 1.145s.
Subsequently. sharp selling in corn
took place, Influenced by the break in
the value of wheat. The close was
nervous, v to Is under yesterdays
finish.
