New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, March 7-Although there
were periods of easiness on the opening
and toward the close today, yet the cot
ton market made a considerable show of
strength during the middle part of the
session and at one time was 14c d pound
up. Fresh buying was stimulated by the
report that the British marine war risk
rate had been lowered from guineas
per cent to per cent.
This was taken as bullish influence
ON this side of the water because 1t
would cheaper the cost of exporting cot
ton, but was accepted as a bearish in
fluence in the English market, since it
would act to replenish stocks there.
In the early trading prices fell off
to IA points in sympathy with a poor
Liverpool but good buying developed on
the decline, the loss was recovered and
the market finally forced to a rise of %
to % points above the level of yester-

MARINE RISK ON
COTTON LOWERED
This Improved Export Pros
poets, Followed by Liver
pool Break

New York, March THE most
prominent feature in the cotton mar
xet today was the reported reduction
of 2 per cent in British marine risk.
This naturally suggested a narrowing
of the differences between English and
American markets as well as an i'm
provement IN export prospects, and q
sharp break in Liverpool was followed
b yam advance here on active buying
by houses with Liverpool connections.
May sold up from St.76c to 3217c and
closed at 31S9c with the general list
closing steady at a net gain of 2 to II
points
An opening decline of to IL points
in the local market reflected overnight
selling orders. but as soon as the ex-
PLANTATION of the sharp break in Liver
pool became generally understood
prices turned firm. The Liverpool buy
ing was attributed to covering the
short end of straddles in anticipation
of smaller differences. while there was
a renewed demand from local trade
sources an dactive covering by recent
| sellers for a reaction. March advanced

realizing.
There may have been some selling
on reports of diminishing activity in
\ the goods trade while moderate SELL
| ing by spot house brokers was believed
| to be hedging against purchases OF
spots in the south. Talk of price liking
was heard on the afternoon reaction
1 but seemed to be more connected with
the goods market than with raw ma
terial, and was too vague to attract
much attention.

Liverpool broke sharply and was fol-

houses with foreign connections. The
early afternoon reaction to- 31.91c for
May and 3o.2Sc for October was followed
by rather irregular fluctuations with
prices ruling about IL to 10 points net

price fixing was again heard in the aft

products rather than to the raw ma
terial.
A seed corn shortage reported through
out Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and Wiscon-
