BEARlSH OUTLOOK AS TO FARM RESERVES CAUSES
 DROP IN WHEAT PRICES
Rv Associntcd Prosa

Chicago, February 23.--Bearish predic- tions as to farm reserves on March tended to weaken the grain markets to- day, and upturns which had taken place failed to last. The close was easy at M to A net lower, with March at N.71A to N.7lA
 Corn lost lsc to ss@sac and Oats Mc to ssc. Provisions, the outcome was un- changed to 7c higher
 At first the wheat market displayed considerable strength. owing chiefly to word that 1,3o0,00o bushels of wheat had been sold for export to Greece. Besides, gossip was current that deliveries from farms would show a falling off after March 1, inasmuch as assessment time would be past and field work would occupy the attention of farmers. On the ensuing advance, however, support be- came slack, and talk centered for the time being on a forecast from a trade authority indicating that, as a result of when officially announced would be larger than had been looked for. Crop reports from Kansas and Oklahoma counted also against the bulls during the last half of the day.
 Corn and oats as well as wheat sagged after an early bulge. It was said the farm stock of corn March would prove the heaviest on record. Liberal export sales of corn helped somewhat to cheek the decline.
 Higher quotations on ,ogs gave firm ness to provisions.

SWITCHING OF NEAR ID LATE MONTHS A FEATURE 0F COTTON
At the Close the General Mar ket Was Steady to Net Five Points Lower to Eight
 cen Higher
By Associated Press

New York, February 23.-The atten- tion of cotton traders here was almost entirely monopoiizes by the issuance and receipt of March notices today. and trading wasslargely attributed to switching from near to late months. Both March and May contracts made new low records for the session at the opening, but after selling at 12.3oc, March advanced to 12.s5c, while May rallied from 13.15c to 1S.60c. closing at Il3.46c. The general market ,losed steady, net five points lower to IS later deliveries.
 The March notices were estimated at around 75,o00 to so.0o0 bales, the bulk of them being issued by the firms who took up the January cotton. On the first rush of liquidation, March sold about 100 points under May, bus spot houses, including those who .s- sued the notices were good buyers of tho maturing contracts against sales of later deliveries. This absorbed the March liquidation, and the discount, as compared with May, narrowed to abcut 60 points during the middle of the day. but rallies were held in check by the continued unfavorable trade re- ports from Manchester, and weak Liv- erpool cableS. The market opened at Ia decline of 5 points to an advance oi 19 points, with July selling at 13.77c and October, 14.27c on the early de- cline. These positions rallied to i4o6c to 14.55c, or about 10 to g points net higher on active months, but the close was 10 to Is points off from the best under scattering liquidation, Reports of decreased fertilizer sales are still reaching the trade. and there was very little selling here today but these features came in for no special som- ment. Some of the buyers of March sold as far ahead as October and the gossip was that not more than half the cotton represented by the days notices would actually change hands.

New Orleans Cotton By Associated Press

New Orleans La, February 23.- March tenders were the one big fea- ture of the cotton market today and their reception was such that the price was sent to higher levels, fol- lowing a break around the opening. Notices in this market were issued for about 5000 bales and more attention was given to the notices in the New York market than was paid to those here.
 Around the opening the uncertainty over the events of the day and very poor cables caused losses of 25 to 33 points, which carried March off to 12.35. When it was seen that notices were being stopped the market strengthened, losses were recovered and prices sent up for net advances, which finally amounted to 12 to 26 points, March trading as high as 12.80. In the late session some uneasiness was displayed when tenders in New York estimated all the way from 75,- GOO up to 95,000 bales. and prices sagged from the highest, the list finally closing one to nine points net higher on the day with March at 12.69.
 The tendency to sell in the early trading was increased by unfavorable private messages from Liverpool re- porting poor trade in Manchester with prospects of further ,stoppage of spindles.

Sugar Market m d A~~-nsnfaA DRAca


 New York. February 23.-The feature III tlie sugar market today was a report from Cuba to the effect that the selling corasnlittea was now in operation. which seemed to indicate that all business here aMer will be through the committee. The market was firmer. and it was reported that Japan had purchased some sugar in Cuba at 460c f. O. b., although no con- firmaton could be obtained. There were sales here, however, of 2S,000 bags or Cubas. through operators to refiners, ae 4sxc. cost and freight, equal to 5.77c Tor centrifugal and 1000 bags first hair March shipment at 4Ac, or the commit tee price if not below 45sc.
 The market for refined was quieter as most retiners were out of the market bending further developments in regard to the workings of the comnlitte in raw sugar. Prices were quoted at 7.6O@7 75c for fine granulated.s Sugar futures were easier early under renewed liquidation, with prices at one time 8 to 13 points net lower, although there was partial rally near the close on covering, with final prices to points net lower. Trad ing. however, was small, and operators were inclined to limit operations and await fresh developments in connection with the new selling plan in the raw sugar market.

RECENT DULLNESS
 STILL HANGS OVER
 THE STOCK MARKET
Call Loans Held at Seven Per Cent, Notwithstanding Very Nominal Inquiry for
 Money All Day
By Associated Press

New York, February 2s.-Resunption of business on the stock exchange today was characterized by continuance of the recent dullness and reactionary price changes A few of the investment shares were steady to firm, but many specu- lative issues experienced renewed depres- sion.
 The railway group was only slightly influenced by the Senate's adoption or the Winslow-Townsend bill granting partial compensation to the transporta- tion systems Northern Pacific and Great Northern were relatively strong. and secondary issues of roads travers- ing western and southwestern territories were in occasional demand.
 Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies. the storm center of the early week, recovered d small part of it's severe loss, but kin dred stocks, especially United States Fruit, developed increased heaviness. The ebb and flow of oils, motors, coppers and numerous miscellaneous specialties were in concern at the final hour when short covering affected irregular im- provement.
 Bull pool opened tentatively in tobaccos, feathers and textiles, but failed to enlist more than moderate degree of outside support. Motor specialties and chemicals gave way to adverse trade reports ana Sears Roebuck was weakest of the un- classified issues, recording net loss or A points on unusually large offerings. Total sales of stocks were 42o,00o shares.
 Notwithstanding a very nominal ln- ouiry for money, call loans held at { per cent throughout the session, ana rates for time funds commercial paper and bank acceptance remained firm Dealings in foreign exchange were desui- tory, pending some light on the outcome If approaching conferences between the allies and Germans in London, bur Scandinavian and Greek rates strength ened.
 Trading in bonds was almost the smallest of any session thus far tllis wear in exchanges, mostly irregular ootn as to domestic and foreign issues were in keeping with the sluggish market. Total sales. par value, s9,70o,0o0.
