After making new high records early
Yesterday the cotton market became
weak and unsettled because Of renewed
taik OF price fixing. May contracts sold

buying movement. There was Liver
pool as we'll as domestic trade buvinr
also covering and fresh buying for
long account inspired by the favorable
gables, continued dry weather in the
southwest and reports that Southern
mills were making big sales of goods

prought out a good deal of realizing,
however, with the selling becoming
more active and general following re-
ports from Washington that a COM

National Defence was to investigate
conditions prevailing in various raw
material markets and formulate plans

rled no mention of cotton, but nat
urally enough the appointment of such
committee served to unscttle scnti-
ment around the ring. There may also
Rave been some selling in anticipation

Wheat.-Crop advices from the South
western winter wheat belt continue to
show favorable conditions, and the
crop is apparently we'll supplied with
moisture. Receipts Of wheat at West
ern points continue light, and it seems
to be the prevailing opinion in flour
circles that offers from the mills will
be light during the balance of the year.
A little more attention is being given
to substitute fours, and announcements
were received from Minneapolis yester-
day that some of the big mills there
will Immediately begin grinding rice
flour on a large scale.
Corn.-A firmer tone prevailed in the
corn market yesterday, and final prices
for contracts were 1sc to sc net high
er. Cash corn in the West was tirmer
especially for the better grades, and
prices ranged from unchanged to 7c
advance. Much of the strength in the
market was borrowed from oats, but it
was evident that the trade at large
took rather tirmer view of the situa-
ton. Shorts were good buyers, and it
was apparent that the technical posi-
ton of the market had been materi
ally strengthened by recent operations.
Receipts at primary points, while
slightly below last week, were again
large, compared with last year.
The weather was clear and warm
throughout the greater part Of the
country and the evidences of an early
ing off in the movement. Farmers will
be busy in short time with their
spring work, and will have less time
for marketing their old corn. AS g
matter of fact, farming operations are
already in progress, and the question
of labor on the farms is serious one.

Oats.-Thc oats market was strong
and higher, closing with net gains OF
1a4c to 2s4c. The March position in
from the low point of Saturday, while
May sold at s67sc, or SAC above Satur-
davis low point. The strength in the
market was attributed to more active
cash demand and higher cash premiums
in the West. Exporters were again bid
ding freely for cash oats laid down at
the seaboard, and it was the prevailing
belief that much of the recent strength
was due to efforts to secure cash oats
to fill Dutch tonnage.
The market, moreover, was believed
to have been ovcrsold on the recent
break, and still felt the influence of
evening up on the part of bears to
comply with the new regulations in
Chicago, which forbid traders to have
outstanding contracts of more than
100000 bushels. Local authorities arc
rather inclined to anticipate quite
feverish fluctuations, on the theory
that under present restrictions it will
be difficult to transact extensive hedg-
ing operations.
