New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, March 2S.--Only narrow
price changes were registered in the cot
ton market here today, business being
restricted partly by the unsettled opin-
ion regarding events on the battle front
and partly by the triple Easter holidays
following the close tonight. The dispo-
sition on the long side was to even up
over the holiday period and offerings
from this source caused small recessions
at intervals, but the market displayed
good recuperative power and floor COM
ment was that trade interest were again

COTTON MAKE A RISE
Liquidation Caused Reac.
lions In Early Afternoon.
Had No Bad Effect

New York, March 2S.-While nervous
and irregular, the cotton market showed
a steady tone today, with July selling up
from s1s0c to s2.16c, or points net high
err That delivery closed at 80. 12c, with
the general list closing steady at net
advance of 3 to 10 points. The market
opened steady at decline of to points
and sold 10 to 16 points net lower during
the early trading. Prospects for rain IN
the southwest promoted realizing or
liquidation for over the three-day adj
tournament, but the offerings were alb
sorbed by the trade and the market
covering and more favorable view OF
the war situation.
There was enough further liquidation
to cause reactions during the early aft
ernoon and there was evidently dispo-
sition to even up commitments, but the
break of the early week had left the
market in healthy technical shape, and
a final furry of covering sent prices 8
to Ii points net higher. May sold up
from S2.5sc to 32s2c. and october from
3o.s0c to sic, with the close at nearly the
best.
Reports that three of the Dutch steam
ers taken over by the government were
to be used in taking cotton from south
ern ports to New England mills probably
helped the late rally, which was also in
fluenced by reports of a good spot de-
mand in the south. The possibility of ia
vorable war developments over the holt
days seemed to offset the prospects for
rains in the southwest and favorable re-
ports from the new crop start failed to
inspire any general or aggressive selling.
Private cables reported near months firm
in Liverpool on the strong spot situa-
ton with later months easier under
realizing.
All three of the big exchanges will be
closed on Friday and Saturday, while
the English market will remain closed
until Wednesday morning.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, March 2S- (Special PRE-
dictions Of showers in east Texas during
the next two days caused a decline of
some 10 points early in the day, which
was subsequently recovered and an adj

fore the holidays. With growing bear

selected grades OF white high-grade cot

the factors are SO conflicting that trans

today on grain. Corn closed steady, a
shade net lower with May $1.2sA. The
finish in oats ranged from 1sdtsc decline
to asc advance. Provisions underwent a
setback of tic to 45c.
At first the corn market showed a ten
dency to harden, owing to assumed i'm
provement in the military situation
Some attention was also given to reports
showing increased use OF corn by flour
millers and to the fact that primary ar
rivals so far this week had fallen off
about 100000 bushels as compared with
last week. Demand, however, lacked
snap, and when news came of French
reverse at Mont Didier the market dis
played an inclination to sag. Word that
the British had lost 100 tanks counted
also as a dampeping influence At no
time. however, did selling become ag-
gressive, and the price changes were
confined to narrow limits.
Active demand for the seaboard car
ried oats upward until war advices be-
came less encouraging. The reaction
