Cotton

The cotton market at the close Of
quiet session was unchanged to 10
points lower. March was relatively
firm during the greater part Of the
DAY on continued buying by LIVERPOOL
ana the further increase in low grade
u-ScVUhls, put weakened in the late
trading under Southern selling.
Inc market opened steady a. an adj
vance Of to 20 points on the reIa+ive-
~ nrm early cables, reports OF 8 con-
tlnued spot demand in the English
market, and renewal of the Liverpool
buying, but soon turned easier under
scattered realizing Otherwise there
appeared TO be little pressure and
after selling about to 2S points net
lower, prices frmed up on buying by
recent sellers for q reaction. The
market was so narrow that it re-
sponded to comparatively small orders
either way.
According to cable advices, one of
the leading English trade authorities
estimates this seasons crop Of Amer
lean cotton at 10000 600 bales aud the
worlds consumption at 1895 600. The
figures on production were closely in
hne with opinions based on the gov
ernment's report of last December
with an allowance for hnters.
Southern advlces continued TO en-
phasize the agitation for reduced acre
age and smaller sales of fertilizers
while there were reiterated claims
OF hrmness among holders of the
more desirable grades.
The extraordinary discounts on the
low grades are said to be bringing in
some European demand, but an I'M
usual amount Of country damaged cot
ton IS reported in the interior and
many local traders are waiting for
some indication of an adequate outlet
for such supplies before operating on
bulhsh views Of the situation other
wise.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and unchanged at 2665c for
middling upland. A year ago the
market was closed because OF Wash
iagton's birthday.

Cereals

Wheat Weather conditions over the
winter wheat belt were again unset
lied, with scattered rain and snow This
was looked upon as favorable for the
new crop, as moisture was needed in
some localities to promote early spring
growth. The Modern Miller" said that
the crop has gone backward somewhat
in the northern part of the belt. but
the promise is still high and winter
killing to date is exceptionally small.
The movement at Western points was
moderate and the weekly exports, while
somewhat smaller than the previous
week, we're ahead Of last year.
Operators were inclined to be
rimid about taking chances over the
holiday. and did little except even up
outstanding trades. It was reported
that the Argentine strike had been set
tied, and late in the session prices de
veloped q reactionary tendency under
liquidation. The Buenos Ayres market
was unchanged The Western cash de-
mand was said to be less active, but
there was little improvement noted
in the Eastern demand. "The Modern
Miller" said that corn is held firmly
by farmers, who are feeding stock lib
orally.
