Cotton

Prospects for better weather in the
South seemed responsible for renewal
of general selling in the cotton market
yesterday There was evidently seel-
ing around the ring that the recent
rally of over 2 cents per pound had
left the market in an easier technical
position, and part of the pressure was
attributed to selling by recent buyers.
July contracts broke to R5.95 after
touching 2705 at the opening, and
closed at the lowest level of the day,
with the general list closing barely
steady at net decline of 90 to Ill
points.
Except for the better weather out
tribute the renewed weakness to any
particular feature in the days news.
The idea was expressed, however, that
Southern spot offerings might have
been larger on the recent decline had
it not been for unfavorable new crop
accounts, and that spots might come
on the market more freely if the
weather should not prove favorable.
The market opened irregular at an ad-
vance of 13 points to decline of ID
points, with July relatively firm on
the cables. That delivery quickly weak
ened with the rest of the list, and be-
fore midday the market showed net
losses of about 60 to II points. Rallies
of half a cent followed on covering
promoted by continued unfavorable
crop adviccs, but the demand was read
lily supplied, and the selling became
even more active in the late trading
There was some buying of July and
October believed to be for trade ac-
count, but it was supposed to repre-
sent undoing of hedges against sales
of spots in the Southwest, and very
little was heard of buving by spinners.
on the rally from the low level of
last month had reflected covering or
expectations of n reaction, rather than
any revival of builish sentiment, was
encouraged by the renewal of general
selling on the first prospect of better
weather. A letter from a Southern
Senator claiming there was no desire
or intention of interfering with legit-
innate business on exchanges, but de-
nouncing unnecessarily violent fuctu-
atons. attracted good deal of atten-
tion, although it was not generally con-
sidered an immediate market factor
No exports were reported. Southern
spot markets as officially reported were
unchanged to 100 points lower with
Memphis, which has maintained mid
ding quotation of % cents. reporting
the maximum decline. Quotations in
the leading Southern markets now
range from $500 to $3.50.

Wheat.-The two important factors
In the wheat position at the present
time are the steadily decreasing stocks
OF old wheat and the splendid outlook
for the new crop. Some authorities
believe that there are still fair stocks
of wheat in the country, which may
come out more freely as soon as farm
ers are through planting their corn,
and in fact the movement has in
creased trifle during the past ten
days. Reports from over the winter
and spring wheat belts continue most
encouraging. Advices from the North
~*est said that the recent rains and
SHOWS have supplied abundant moist
ure for the new crop, and that with
warmer weather the growth will be
very active. Reports from California
said that harvesting has begun in the
South. with fair yields.
Corn.-The corn market was under
heavy pressure during the first half of
the day, and prices declined Ssc to
2 1ac for the new contracts The SELL
ing was based on the weakness in oats
and also on the cash position, which
gave evidences of an overstocked con-
dition in the East, where holders we're
trying to resell. The appearance of
bright and warmer weather over the
West was also a factor which contrib
uted to the early decline, as it was ex-
pected to promote more active planting
operations. Late in the day. however,
there was a very sharp rally, which
carried values 11sc to 1l2c above the
previous close. The market was ap-
parentiy in an oversold condition, and
when shorts attempted to cover they
found offers distinctly small The
W. .tof bomad foirIv
steady undertone, and it was evident
that sellers were inclined to be cau-
tious owing to the fact that the new
crop is not yet planted and many
complaints have been received regard
ing the condition of the seed corn.

Oats.-The over-bought condition of
the Eastern oats market and the alb
sence of export demand caused a sharp
decline in prices early in the day, when
the July position in Chicago sold down
to 67 1sc, the lowest point touched since
trading began in the new contract. East
ern cash interests were offering to re-
sell oats to the West or the other
Eastern markets at prices below parity
with the West, and Western cash pre-
miums were also lower. The late rally
in corn, however, resulted in covering
movement which brought about a
partial recovery from the low point, and
