Cotton

Another furry OF liquidation caused
n rather sharp break after higher
openinr in the cotton market yesterday
II appeared TO leave the market IN
stronger position, however. and prices
advanced in the later trading. with May
selling up from 1916 TO l7.19 and clos
ing at 17.OS. Large exports for the day
and the continued bullish average OF
Southern spot advices, appeared 10
stimulate the covering movement, while
there was also scattered trade buying
as we'll as operations for d reaction on
the recovery of about 43 points from
the low level of the morning.
The census report, showing 11,l4I,llS
bales ginned TO January 16, was
closely in line with recent private fig-
ures, and therefore without influence
either way. Reactionary impulses
which developed after the big break OF
Monday were encouraged by relatively
firm cables at the start, and after open
ing to Is points higher, active months
sold about IL to % points net higher.
This made an advance of SO points
from the low level of the previous day
on May contracts and evidently ran the
market into increased offerings.
Weakness In New Orleans seemed TO
revive apprehensions of increased spot
offerings, and there was New orleans
selling here rs well as renewal OF
liquidation and local pressure. Stop
orders were uncovered on a break TO
1876 for May, but after their execu-
ton prices steadied on covering. Ac-
tive months sold 26 TO SO points net
higher in the late trading, with the
close off from the best under final
realizing.
Conflicting ideas of the spot situation
were expressed around the ring. but
there was no definite news except the
scattering advices received from local
firms which were more bullish than
otherwise on the average. Some of the
local spot and commission house peo-
pie said they thought the South was
steadily hedging in contract markets,
but others claimed the only hedge SELL
ing was that of exporters against pur-
chases in the interior at a high basis.
No change was reported in the ocean
freight situation, but the exports of ap-
proximately $4,000 bales for the day at
tracted a great deal of attention. South
eIn sport markets as officially reported
were 10 points lower to Is points high
er, but generally unchanged.

Wheat.-The new crop months were
relatively frmer than the May posi-
tion and a gradual narrowing of diff
ferences appears to be in progress.
This reflects some growing apprehen-
sion regarding the new crop, and indi-
Gates that the trade believes there will
be an active demand for new wheat as
soon as obtainable, especially if the
carry-over proves as small as antici-
pated.
Interest in the market was compare
lively small and prices were easily in
fueLced by moderate operations either
way. The trade at large takes the
view that basic conditions are strong
and that there is every reason to an
tcipate a sharp falling off in the visi-
BILE supply during the next two months.
A large amount of wheat which has
become congested between Buffalo and
the seaboard has doubtless been sold
TO Europe and will be transported
thither as soon as ocean tonnage is
supplied. Clearances are expected 20
