New Orleans, January l6.-1SpeclaL' yyhile cotton was forced down for mod eratelv wide declines today, there were neriods of stediness around the opening and in the early afternoon. The market responded as readily as ever to bull ing. The declines of the day were due to the somewhat less firm feeling ot the spot department and to the pesslm- istic view taken by many people or Iuei and freight situation. The opening ad- vance carried prices up, to l4 points. Here the market met selling based on continued talk of making Monday holiday in New England. in order to save fuel, and on reports that the coal situation was so bad In the north that England had been forced to ship fuel across the Atlantic in order to supply vessels tied up in New York. At the lowest the active months were 32 to SS points under the last prices or yesteFoay. In the afternoon fresh buying In vol ume was aroused by rumors or fresh peace proposals from Germany and early sellers found difficulty in getting their cotton back Their efforts to cover car ried prices back to within to points of yesterdays final quotations.
 While, in the present temper Of mar ket. reactions downward are to be ex- pected, we do not see how any one can pioint out where any radical change in the situation has been brought about.

Over S. R. Stewart & Co.'S Wire

Chicago January 16.-(Special )-Corn' There has been further selling of corn futures by elevator interests, and in ad- dition a somewhat increased pressure from larger commission houses Bulk of the demand has been in the way or scattered resting orders, although one cash handler took a fair amount. Sen timent is bearish in expectation of free movement from the country and be- cause of the many political rumors afloat Only 12 cars received, but market quotation is unchanged.
 Oats: Overconfidence in expectation of lower oats prices was responsible for a period of strength during the day While sentiment leans to the selling side, there are several who are friendly because of the continued premiums for cash oats. There being only IA cars received today, feed dealers were compelled to advance prices considerably. Renewed pressure appeared upon the market during the lat ter part induced by unconfirmed political reports The market is expected to re- serve an undertone of strength unless there be material increase In movement or definite negotiations looking toward cessation of hostilities.
 Provisions: The semi-monthly decrease lin Chicago stocks was resonsible for firmness in provisions. Principal demand appeared in January lard. This market lis expected to continue strong, particu- Ilarly in case today's peace rumors even tuate in something definite.-Thompson l & McKinnon.

LONDON. March 13.-Criticism of the

ations. for the food situation and opin-
ion in America, the government, while
maintaining a supply of beer for heavy
manual workers. intended to reduce
mediately the tonnage to be used for
brewing material One hundred and
fifty thousand tons of barley were
taken from the brewers and malsters
on March !, and a further 200, 900 tons
would be saved yearly by restricting
the standard of barreiage and using
substitutes which are vastly more
economical.
The brewing materials for 191S-1919
Mr.. Clynes added, would be equivalent
to $4,000 tons of shipping. compared
with 10000 tons early in the war. The
brewing material would amount to
som ething less than per cent of the
solid food ration, and from one-third TO
one-fourth of these materials could be
recovered in the form of animal food.
