New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans. February 20,-The price of cotton stood at small advances during tho greater part of today's session, al- though no great buying developed at any time and toward the end there was liquidation in the near montfs which ap peared to be due to the triple holidays which begin tomorrow. rfuch of the buy ing was caused by prospects of more bad weather over the belt the western belt forecast calling for much rain and some snow, while the outlook appeared to be that the unfavorable conditions would extend to the western belt by Sunday. Around the opening prices were to Il points under the close of yesterday from this they advanced until they were 13 to g points over. Last prices were 9 points down to % points up net for the day.
 The selling around the opening was caused, to a great extent, by poor cables, but when private cablegrams were re- ceived stating that the English market was lower because of the better rates for sterling, the local market commenced to advance The weather map was clear dry and warm, and at first excited fav- orable comment, but when the barometer lines were drawn they aroused an unfav- orable view of the weather, which the of ncial forecast confirmed.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-02-21

pretty well evened up earlier in the week The higher foreign exchange rates havt been accompanid by considerable Liver pool buying here, presumably to cove the short end of straddles in the old crol months, and private cables have report ed a good deal of continental buying O new crop months in the English market Some domestic trade buying has also beer in evidence here during the week, but tn, bulk of the demand the advance o. about 320 points from the low level oi the early months has been attributed t. the covering of shorts, and the short in. terest for both straddle and speculative account, is supposed to have been ma terially reduced
 There were reports during the nnfddA of the week of slow spot demand w4sf an easier spot basis, and some selling foi southern account was noted around thu
 local ring but there has been very littlt pressure from such sources Next Tues
 day will be the first March notice day but local brokers expect very few tender. unless there should be shipments of cot ton here for delivery during the latte part of the month. Many complaints are reaching here from the south regardini l the scarcity of labor, which is regardet
 as more serious owing to further delays ! in new crop preparations, and new croI positions were relatively firm toward the | end of the week. Very little change has 1 been noted in the news from domestic goods markets, but Manchester is report ed to be doing a large business, and has | been a buyer in the Liverpool market

CORN BROKE BADLY IN FINAL HOUR OF
 TRADING IN THE PIT
Oats Also Suffered a Relapse of From One to Two Cents, While Provisions Were Marked
 Downward
By Associated Press

Chicago. February 2o.-Corn under went a sharp break in prices during the last hour today, after showing decided strength earlier Various developments regarding flour and wheat had much to do with the setback. Quotations closed heavy, 1hM2%c net lower, with May $l.S2$4@1. S29s, and July sl.2ss@129. Oats lost 1$s to 2Q21sc and provisions 10@15c.
 Assertions that the government was trying to get rid of it's flour and what with as little loss as possible appeared to be the chief factor in stopping ad- vance of corn, and in the subsequent tumble of hat cereal A cut of $i10 barrel in the price of flour was simul- taneously announced by millers. Late selling of corn was also promoted by word that county offerings of corn were increasing somewhat and that Argentine shipments had greatly expanded. The initial strength of the corn market was ascribed to transient brisk upturn in foreign exchange and to reports that railroad orders had been given which would facilitate the movement of grain eastward from Chicago.
 Advices relative to big stocks of oats in country elevators tended to make oats even weaker than corn.
 Provisions were governed chiefly by the action of grain
