The cotton market was lower yester-
day. A natural disposition to take
profits on holdings of contracts after
Ia recovery of three cents pound from
recent low records was probably in
creased by unfavorable Manchester
trade advices and reports of consider
able cotton coming here from the South

Trade buying was fairly active at
times, and there were furries of COW
ering which caused rallies, but realiz-
ing was heavy and the market closed
easy, at net decline of 33 to 68 points.

Advance in Wheat
On Entrance of
European Buyers
March Position in Chicago
Up 33 Cents from Low of
November 20; Argentine
Tax Not Yet Settled

The temperance Of the British
commission in the export market for
wheat caused q further advance in
prices and early in the day the mar
ket was up to cents from the pre-
vious close, making net gain of 5h
to cents from the low point Of Mon
day. The March position in Chicago
was up 33 cents from the low point Of
the season, made on November 20.
The advance attracted good deal
of profit taking, which resulted in a
partial setback, but final quotations
showed net gains for the day of y to
cent. The British buyers took about
100000 bushels Of Gulf wheat. There
were additional sales of about 100000,
which were believed to be for German
account. Advices from the Argentine
said that the question of the super-tax
on wheat for export had not yet been
settled, and it was believed that nothing
will be done until March 81.
