New Orleans, La, March 15.-The cen- sus consumption report Is unfavorable in several particulars. First, the total consumption so far for the season is 76,- 600 bales less than last year, whereas, the original basis for the bull movement was the assertion that our mills will con- sume from half to three-quarters mill liens more than last year. Mill stocks thar were at one time 800,000 bales smaller than last year are now only 470.OO0 smaller and public warehouse stocks that were about 100000 bales smaller are now running even with last year, showing loss in consumption and gain in supply on last year.
 Washington says the Dutch tonnage will greatly improve the shipping situa- ton.
 The weather map shows fair in Georgia, Ter nessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma and cloudy the rest of the belt; little light rair in extreme south Texas; freezing
 in the Panhandle and Oklahoma. In- dica tions are for partly cloudy and colder in the northeastern portion, with im- west over Sunday.
 Our market opened about unchanged, then lost a few points on selling on the lunfavorable consumption report, but there seemed to be supporting orders to check the decline, and covering by scalpers caused rally of 12 points. Trading was narrow.
 Spots are reported quiet and unchanged Very little done so far today.-John F.. Clark SS Co.

New Orleans, March 15.--After mo-
 mentary decline of to points around
 the opening today. cotton took on very
 steady tone and gradually rose on it's
 own strength to level of to Il points above the closing quotations of yester- day. The continued dry weather in the western belt and the forecast of fair weather tonight and tomorrow, coupled with a favorable construction of con sumption figures for February, were the main influences working for higher levels. A conspicuous feature of the ses- sion was the lack of contracts; any spe- cial buying would have resulted in a wide bulge. On their face the February mill statistics were bearish so far as con- sumption was concerned. The total was put at 510,1S7 bales against 5240S3 in Jan uary and 547,174 in February last year, but when it is considered that many days of working time were lost to mills through the legal and fuel holidays and that the month itself is the shortest in the year, the report appears in more 1 favorable light. Exports this week .. amount to 69,7S3 bales against s. .S2 this
 week last year. truly remarkable show
 ing, considering the unfavorablc ship

CORN SUPPLY IS NOW UNLIMITED
Shorts in Oats Were Gov ering Heavily, But This
 Did Not Hold up Staple

Chicago, March 15.--With arrivals continuing. on big scale and with unlimited quantities yet to como forward, the corn market today underwent new declines Prices closed unsettled b @ ssc net lower at $1.2T% March and s1.25N May. Oats lost 1s@ 1ssc and provisions 7@17c.
 Favorable weather for the crop movement helped to make corn traders focus their attention on the fact that receipts showed no falling off in vol ume and that no slackening in the number of arrivals was in immediate prospects. Meanwhile inquiry volume for shippers here had nearly reached the vanishing point owing to the ab- sence of ordinary outlets to the east. Good demand from industries hcre gave the market at one time some- thing of a stimulus, but was moro than offset later by assertions that owing to the poor quality of the 1917 crop. lower grade of corn than at present accepted was likely to be de- clared standard for the filling of con- tracts.
 Despite temporary bulge due to covering of 600.000 bushels by a spec ulative short, oats were sharply low CT most of the day Bears had an ad- vantage from reports that a much in- creased acreage was being seeded
