Cotton

There were violent fluctuations in
the cotton market yesterday, with the
general tendency of prices lower. A
particularly sharp break took place in
the late trading, with the close showing
a net loss of II to 55 points. The high
est and lowest prices of the day we're
established in the last hour Of busi-
ness, with March breaking from 31.93
to 3l.40 at the close, net loss of 81
points.
The market was nervous and unset
tied from the start. The opening was
barely steady at a decline of to 20
points Rallies of several points fol-
lowed on Liverpool and domestic trade
demand, but the demand was soon sup
piled, and before the end Of the morn
ing active months were rs to as points
under Wednesdays closing figures.
The disposition to take Profits on
long cotton was increased by better
prospects for break in the Texas
drouth, nervousness over the fuel sit
uation and renwed talk of price fixing
possibilities. The official Western belt
forecast was for rain or snow in Texas,
followed by colder weather, and a num-
Der of priv9se reports reached here
during the day Of rain in the South
west. The drouth in that part of the
country has been one of the bulIish
factors, and on the advances the diff
ference between old and new crop
showed tendency to widen.
The increasing scarcity of coal in New
England mill circles came in for rather
more discussion than recently, and it
was felt that the situation would not
improve by prospects for another cold
wave at the end Of this week The
sharp advance earlier in the after
noon carried May and July contracts
into new nigh ground for the season,
but the upturn was checked just short
Of Wednesdays high levels on other
deliveries, and there seemed to be
feeling around the ring that the higher
prices were bringing out sufficient spot
cotton to supply all immediate de-
mands.
Exports for the day we're 1857
bales, making 2,174,038 so far this sea-
son. Southern spot markets, as Off
cially reported, were 81 points higher
to 46 points lower

snowfall IN Kansas, which will add pro.
lection to the crop against the cold
wave winch was reported working down
from the Northwest. There were renorts
that the War Board in Washington has
opened negotiations with Argentina in
an endeavor to bring about an ex-
cnange OF American coal for Argentine
wheat. Argentine shipments for the
week were estimated at 10000 bushels
against 6I2,OOO last week and 1.114.OOO
last year. '''o'
Corn.-Thls market was inactive. but
prices were easier in sympathy with the
decline in oats. Another cold snon in
the West was looked upon as unfayor-
able for any material Improvement in
the movement, although the car situa-
t1on tt1on was better, and Chicago reported
mat about 1900 empty cars had been
9ellVered at country points on Wednes-
DAY; Argentine shipments for the
week were estimated at 100000 bushels.

WORTHLESS CHECKS
AND Is STILL AT LARGE

A stranger who gave the name of
John Kruger and who posed while
here this week as a cook, is wanted by
the local police for the old game of
passing worthless checks. One of the
checks was drawn on the Wisconsin
National Bank for 81 and was signed
B. A. Hoffman,. 1t was cashed at Leo
Noffz's bakery. The other check was
for SIT and was drawn on a Chicago
bank. This was cashed by Ben Specs,
an employe in Zoelle's tonsorial par
lOrS.
The stranger left the city in COM
pany with woman Thursday morning
and the police were notified of the af-
fair shortly after. Chief Pieritz got in
touch with the Waukesha police but it
seems the couple left the trolley car at
Oconomowoc. Officer Zimmerman
was sent there and in company with
the local police made search of the
town but he could not be located, al
though it is known that he tried TO
hire a livery rig at p. NJ, but the
phone call used could not be located
