New Orleans Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February 10.--Heavy sell ing was felt by cotton today and response was made to the pressure but on the open ing and again on the close there were periods of steadiness and last prices were unchanged to 20 points up compared with the closing quotations of last week. The reduction of 150 points in spot prices. which carried middling down to 25.50c as compared with the closing price on March of 22.20c was. strangely enough. considered a favorable feature and 1t re- suited in buying in the half hour of business. Bullish traders considered that the narrowing of differences between spots and futures was a development of importance and bought on it..
 Around the opening prices were 4 to 24 points up, after which offerings in creased and the market fell off until finally it stood 46 to 76 points under the close of Saturday. From this there were strong recoveres in the afternoon mainly realizing of profits by shorts. The widening of the discount on lower grades in the Montgomery market, dis count of 1200 points on good ordinary being reported, was considered in favor of contracts and caused more or less buy ing.

EXPORT WHEELING
 CAUSES GRAIN RISE Corn Closed 1 1-4c Higher, While Oats Were About
 on an Even Balance
By Associated Press

Chicago, February 10.-Gossip that ex- porters were nibbling for corn helped 10 about a rally today in prices here. The market closed firm A91Ac net higher. with May s1.12A911 127s, and July s1.09&ep 1091a. Oat sfinished unhanged to 7sc up, and provisions at an advance of soc to sl.
 Nearby deliveries of corn displayed the most strength and it was shown that ex- ports from North America last week amounted to 5000 bushels. as compared with 2S,000 bushels the week previous. Fresh sales here of 5000 bushels to ex- porters were also announced.
 Notice was taken, too, of a decrease of 595, 900 bushels in the United States visi- ble supply total. Besides, although re- ceipts were somewhat larger than has been the rule of late, they were of far less volume than last year. Concurrent with these developments there was mo- ticea ble withdrawal of selling pressure which was ascribed to favorable condi- tions for shelling and shipping and to ap- parent absence of eastern demand.
 Oats merely paralleled the action of corn. All provisions advanced to the days maximum limit Exports were on a huge scale.

COTTON DIPS INTO NEW LOW GROUND The Slump Was Followed by Sharp Rallies, With
 the Close 5 to 27
 Points Up
By A.oeIst.d Prs


 New York. February 10.-The cotton again today, but an early break into new low ground for the season on old crop months was followed by sharp ral- lies with the close steady at a net advance of to 27 points higher. May contracts broke from 26c to 19.S0c. and rallied to 20.72c. closing at 20.52c. compared with -20.47c at the close of last week.
 As prices yielded without encoun- tering any aggressive support, the selling became more general and the market was extremely weak and un- settled during the middle. of the day, with March selling off from 21.70c to 20S0c, and July from 20.20c to 19.3oc. making declines of about S5 to 90 points from the early high level, and net loss of 65 to 70 points.
 Foreign buying of new crop deliv- cries continued which held relatively steady, but october sold off to 1S.40o or 45 points net lower. The pressure then became less active and the mar ket steadier in the late trading on reports of improved labor conditions, talk of larger domestic consumption figures for January and reports that the lower prices were stimulating the agitation for reduced acreage in the south. arch sold up to 21.75c and July to 20.2Sc late in the afternoon or about 25 to 33 points net higher, with Liverpool a good buyer of these deliveries.
 Some southern and New Orleans sell ing developed on the advance and al the close was a few points off from the best. Low grade discounts are still increasing with good ordinary now quoted 12c a pound below middling in the Montgomery market Some trad CTS take this as indicating a desire to find buyers for such grades, but the widening of the differences makes it less profitable to deliver them on con- tracts here.
