SHORTS WERE ACTIVE
 IN THE CHICAGO PIT
Corn Closed 1c to Sc Net Higher, With Oats and Provisions Both on
 the Climb
By Associated Press

Chicago, March 29.-Although corn averaged lower in price most of the time today, weekend covering by shorts gave the market rapid uptsrn in the last hour. Closing quotations were strong 1 & to cents net higher, with May s1.47ss to $1.47ss and July s1.SSls to s1.37A Oats gained + cent to 11s up, and provisions 30 to 90 cents.
 Before the rally at the finish or the corn market. liquidation by many holders had taken place and there had been a great deal of short selling. Likelihood that the big Argentina ex- portable surplus would serve as continued threatening bearish facto' was apparently the chief source of de- pression. Besides, purchasing orders seemed to have been reduced to min imum owing to the interruption Of trade tomorrow and by the election on Tuesday. Selling was overdone, how ever. and shorts trying to cover were forced to bid the market up on them selves in a hurry.
 Buying on the part of leading spec ulator sent oats up with corn.
 Provisions received an upward i'm petus from word that the government had given a huge order for lard com pound. Indications too. were for a lessened number of hog arrivals next week.

New Orleans, March 29.-The tendency in cotton today was to sag under moder- ate selling stimulated by better weather over the belt and the small mill talk ings for the week. Hester making ths out -of-sight movement for the week only 159 0O0 bales. Opening at the decline the market fell off until the new con tracts were 19 to 24 points under the close of yesterday but at the lowest levels weekend realizing on the short side became rather general and reac- ton ensued which carried the most ac- tive months 8 to 4 points over yester- days final prices The close was to 30 points off net, on the old contracts and to 13 points off net on the new At the lowest levels new May traded down to 23.57c and the reaction carried it up to 23S2c.
 The weather map was dry in all sec tions of the belt and next to no ram was predicted for over Sunday. To some extent the effect of the weather news was offset by continued reports from the interior indicating that the reduction in acreage would be drastic, taking the cotton region as a whole. The announce ment of the lifting of the blockade on German Austria caused a better feeling regarding world politics but did not re- suit in buying of consequence.
