Cotton

renewed nervousness over the pos
s'I'llty Of government price fixing
caused declines after an carlv advance
IN the cotton market yesterday. The
mention Of price fixing in President
Wilson'S letter to the Farmers Confer
ence In Illinois contained no specific
reference to cotton, but it revived the
apprehensions caused by the announce
meht OF about two weeks ago that the
Administration had asked for broader
pr'ce-tXing powers and served to stim-
ulate selling. The market had shown
considerable hrmncss during the car
her trading owing to the strength Of
the near positions. Advances of some
10 to 80 po nts we're lost, however, with
the market closing points higher to
13 points lower.
1T was reported that people who had
taken cotton upon December and Janu-
ary contracts here were preparing to
ship out considerable amount and
that there WIS continued demand for
cotton out Of the local Warehouses at a
premium Of 200 points on March Ow-
ing to the difficulty of replenishing
supplies at this point these reports
created apprehension that there would
be little cotton remaining for delivery
on March contracts. Shor.s tried to
cover in consequence and bid the price
up to 3O.62 before the end Of the morn
ing, or 80 points net higher.
European politial advices were con-
sldered more favorable to the hope OF
peace. and much attention was at
tracted by the Presidents animation
that the issue Of the war would proba-
bly, be determined this year. Ideas OF
peace as a market factor have become
conflicting, however, and the news in
this respect added to nervousness and
irregularity.
No change was reported in South.
western drouth conditions or in ocean
freight rates, but it was said that con-
siderable tonnage was being allotted
for shipment Of cotton to Liverpool
The approuch Of another cold wave was
considered an unfavorable feature in
it's bearing on the coal shortage, and
If anything, there was tendency to
increase estimates of probable mill
curtalment. Increasing scarcity OF
white cotton was reported, with prob
ability Of still greater premiums be-
fore the end of the season. Exports
for the day were 1911 bales. South
ern spot markets as officially reported
were unchanged to SO points lower,
generally unchanged.

Wheat Efforts on the part Of the
food admin stration to facilitate the
movement Of foodstutfs to Europe are
expected to bring about a marked in
crease in shipments of wheat in the
form Of flour. Leading mills in the
country are now giving the government
80 per cent Of their output for export
and domestic consumers arc being
called upon to reduce consumption ac-
cordingly Auvices from Canada said
that the government had seized all
wheat in elevators there, amounting to
about 100 200 900 bushels, and that con-
tracts for shipment to the United
States would have to be cancelled.
Corn. Price changes were again
narrow, with the undertonc easier, the
close being ls to &c lower. There was
a lack of speculative interest in the
market and prices were affected by the
prospect Of larger receipts. The food
administration is cooperating with the
railroads and efforts to move the corn
crop are being materially increased.
Country shippers have been asked to
notify agents Of the Administration in
their particular zone if they are un-
able to secure cars and to tate how
many cars they can use daily or weekly
to take care Of new deliveries from
farmers. The milling demand for corn
WAS active far offers have been
readily taken and prices have been
we'll maintained. The weathcr was
again cold over the West, but on the
whole conditions were not particularly
adverse to the movement.

ances from the seaboard were large.
Extraordinary efforts are to be used 70
facilitate the movement Of foodstuffs
for export. and it is thought that ship
ments will continue heavy for some
time to come. Leading cereal com
panies in the West were said to be
good buyers Of cash oats, and govern
