Weekly Cotton Review
Ny Asxoetat,a prs.s

By Associated Press
 New York, March 26.-The attention of cotton traders during the last week has
 been largely absorbed by the final even- ing up of March contracts. Before the last of the unprotected short interest iE that position was covered the price had advanced to 43. 1Sc, the highest fig ure ever touched by a futures contract ir the local market. Only few purchases were made on the advance to this level. however. and later the price broke to
 SS soc, while notices representing about 2,000 bales made their appearance before the expiration of the contract at noon on Thursday.
 The closing weakness of March led the heavy selling of the later months, which caused sharp reactions with May selling off from B 99c. the high point of Wednes- day, to S7 60c on Thursday morning. but the market today showed renewed strength on bullsh spot advices and trade buying.
 The latter was accompanied by reports of a renewed export demand for spot cot- ton in the south which were colored by
 the stronger tone of foreign exchange The advance in sterling h%s offset de-
 clines in the Liverpool market, and it is pr cbab ble that the more optimistic feeling
 at the end of the week was encouraged by reports that Germany had secured credits here for the purchase of food stuffs, and that some of the export busi- ness reported in cotton was for shipment to German ports. The advance in new crop months was restricted by reports of better weather n the south toward the end of the week, but thse deliveries have made new high records for the season, owing to ehe complaints of delayed farm work, scar city of labor and scattering reports re-
 garding scarcity of desirable seed for planting According to some reports reaching here, crop preparar,ons are frore fifteen days to three weeks late, and
 so far local traders do not appear to have
 been very seriously impressed by the
 poison dustng methods for destroying
 boil weevil, except for it's possible use
 in comparatively restricted areas.
 According to a statement by the depart
 ment of agriculture. the cost of raising
 the 1918 crop averaged 25 cents and the,
 bulk line cost was 2s cents per pound

New York, March 26,-Reports of re- newed export demand are accompanied by active buying of May in the cotton market here today. which was attributed partly to undoing hedges against sales of spots in the south. That delivery sold up 10 ss 5Sc, or iS points net higher. and closed at sS. i5c with the general market closing, steady. net unchanged to 8 points above last nights closing figures
 There was some nervousness and irreg- ularity at the start. owing to better weather in the south and realizing. The opening was 1t points higher to points lower, and active months sold about 1s to 29 points below last nights final figures shortly after the call, with May touching B ,02c and October 3l 9lc Forecasts for generally fair weather encouraged scat tered selling of new crop positions, but the market turned firmer on the trade buying of near months and the strength of sterling exchange. May led the ad- vance, increasing its premium over July from 25S points at the close last night to about 2S0 points. while the advance in new crop deliveries was held back by the more optimistic view of crop condi- tion.. July sold up to 35.75c, or IS points net higher, and october to S2 19c, or s points above last nights close, and the buying seemed to be stimulated during the middle of the afternoon by reports that credits had been arranged here for the purchase of foodstuffs by Germany and that some of the buying of cotton had been for continental account. Closing prices were a few points off from the best under realizing. Aew Orleans was selei of new crop months early and reported receipt of more favorable crop advices from the southwest

 Corn displayed a tendency To ascend in the absence of confirmation of yes terdays rumors that 100000 bushels was to be the greatest amount Of open trade allowed to any one interest hereafter The supposed purpose of such rule was believed to be to check unduly heavy bullish specula- tion Bears, however, seemed to have overreached themselves, and at times today, especially near the finish were lively competitors for all available of ferings. Wet weather and prospect that receipts would be light were also strengthening factors, and so, too, were indications of active export de- mand for wheat and rye.
 Closing out of spreads between Chicago and Winnipeg gave indepen- dent strength to oats. A small fail- ure at Winnipeg was noted in this connection.
 The brisk rise in sterling, together with gossip that Germany had ob- tained important credits helped to lift provisions.

New Orleans Cotton By Associated Prass

New Orleans, March 26.-Pending legis- lation and the weather conditions over the belt caused wide price changes in cotton today, and fluectuatons carried the market both above and below the level of yesterdays close. For while the Conner bill adopted by the Senate yesterday, was responsible for much liquidation, under which there was 8 fall, around the opening, of 2 to zs pofnts Poor cables and the much better wo&ther conditions over Texas increased the of ferings.
 Regarding the Conner bill, the view finally prevailed that changes in the fu- ture contract laws that would require tenders to contain at least 50 per cent high-grade would make a contract that few traders would care to sell, and a strong buying movement set in. --e upward swing of prices which it started was accelerated by complaints of a!fo- gether too much rain east of the MisAs- sippi river, and by the strong tone Of sterling exchange. Late in the day the active months were to 47 points over yesterdays close Last prices were 6 points down to 3S points up net for the session.
 May was the strongest month at the ad-
 vance and appeared to be attracting
 important bullish operations In the
 face of the strength shown by May, how ever, spots were marked off 50 points to
 40 25c for middling. May at it's best trad
