Cotton

Although rather nervous and irregu-
lar the cotton market made a gener-
ally steady showing yesterday and
closed az a net advance of 3 to 10
points. July contracts sold up from
3l.90 to 3215 and closed at 32l2, with
active months generally holding well
up to the highest price of the day
Favorable crop advces did not seem
to induce selling, and the comparative
ly small volume of business done was
attributed largely to evening-up com
mitments for over the three day ad-
jou,nment. A moderate demand from
trade sources and the spot advice5
created optimism and covering was
also promoted by the favorable view
Of the war situation.
The market was unsettled during the
eally trading and, after opening at a
decline OF to points, sold IL to 16
points net lower on prospects for rains
in the Southwest. The only complaint
regarding climatic conditions from d
new crop standpoint recently has been
based on drouth in Texas A posi-
bility that it would be relieved before
the reopening on Monday morning
evidently inspired scattered selling, but
the outlook in this respect seemed to
be Offset by possibility of Allied sue
cesses N France over the holidays.

New Housing Plans

The preparation of housing and town
planning schemes to be put in opera
ton after the war is receiving the ear
nest attention Of the government and
local authorities throughout Great
Britain. The provision of All adequate
supply of houses for the working
classes is recognized as one of the most
important social problems to be solved
Even before the outbreak of the war
the shortage of proper housing accom-
modation, especially Of the better class,
had become matter of some concern.
particularly in the large industrial
centres Of the country, and in the ru-
raj districts conditions in this respect
were likewise growing serious. Esti-
mates as to the housing requirements
Of the country in order to overtake the
deficient building during the last dec
ade vary from 100000 to 100000 dwell
lngs; the trade union organizations
have gone so far as to declare that the
deficiency is at least 1000, 900.

that the government intends to COM
mandeer wheat if holders refuse to sell.
1t was said, however, that the state
department of the food admin stration
had been instructed to urge farmer.
to sell before May 1 and it was the
prevailing belief that. if any evidence
can be obtained that wheat is being
held with a view of embarrassing the
food administration IN its allotment to
Europe. it will be seized
Weather conditions over the North
west were favorable for seeding opera
tions and conditions continue to point
to large acreage. The winter wheat
belt needs rain in the Southwest and
the weather map gave some promise Of
unsettled conditions in that locality
The movement of wheat at interior
points was again light and seaboard
clearances were small
Corn.-The corn market showed a
hrmer tone early in the day, but sub
sequently developed a reactionary ten
dency and closed net unchanged from

markets were firm, with a fairly good
demand for the better grades, and in
some cases prices were about cents
higher The weather was favorable for
ploughing operations, but the season
has not yet advanced far enough to
give any definite clew as to the proba bic

is also factor which will enter into
the situation. Advlces from Argentina

closing gale was at s9a, a net gain for
