Lose Much of Premium
Over March; Selling
Follows Slight Advances

The wheat market was again under
heavy pressure and after an early up
turn of y to cents prices broke
93a to 13 cents to new low levels.
The slightly better feeling in finan-
cial circles and an advance in sterling
exchange inspired moderate early buy
ing, but on every upturn the selling
pressure increased and aside from
covering there was little support until
near the close. Exporters took ad-
Yantages Of the break and bought
about IL million bushels, which re-
suited in rally of about 8 cents from
the lowest, but left final quotations
83a to sac net lower.
The December position in Chicago
showed the greatest losses, and this
month closed at only Az over March.
compared with last weeks premiums of
over II cents. The weakness in the
near months was due to reports that
large quantities Of wheat have been
purchased in Canada and the North
western spring wheat markets and
will shortly be shipped to Chicago
to be applied on December contracts
there.

fluctuations in the cotton market yes
terday.. An early advance was followed
by decline which carried December
and some of the late months into new
low ground for the season, but there
were rallies later, with January selling
up from 15.43 and closing at 1919.
The general market closed steady at
net advance of to 81 points. Bear
lsh spot advices seemed chiefly respon-
slble for the declines during the mid
die Of the day, while the later market
was Influenced by reports of a better
feeling in Wall Street and of an i'm
proved spot demand in some of the
Southern markets.
Local brokers said the bulk of the
selling was due to fear Of further spot
liquidation. A telegram received here
from Columbia, S. c., said that mid
ding cotton was offered at 13c, and
there was a report from Charlotte, N.
c., that strict middling had sold at IA
and l412c in that territory on Sunday.

reported were 25 points higher to SO
points lower. The Savannah market
was higher, with other markets gem
orally unchanged to SO points lower,

next month to give all possible chance
for negotiation. The demands were
originally presented on April Z, and a
