COTTON MARKET
STILL IRREGULAR
Final Bids Are Close to Day:
Low, Off Is to 21 Points,
With Spot at 1915.

The cotton market continued yester-
day TO be narrowly irregular. Price
changes were few until afternoon. when
renewal of Wall Street and ring bear
pressure forced it to new low ground
for the session. The market eased or
about 10 to 20 points at one time, but
occasionally displayed a ranying ten
dency. All In all, there was little feat
urs N the days business. New Orleans
and locals sold cotton while demand was
scattered and was partly trade and
partly professional shorts. Buying was
based principally on unfavorable
| weather.
The market opened steady. to 10
points net higher, but Immediately fol-
lowing the outset met increased selling
and reacted to a level slightly under
Tuesdays closing bids. Liverpool cables
were about az due. brokers with English
connections doing a little on both sides
of the market. Bears called attention
to reports from Manchester that the
British coal miners strike was paralyz-
Ing the cottong industry. Local traders,
however, took 1t with a grain OF salt.
Price fluctuations were exceedingly mar
afternoon. More contracts were for sale
and demand was quieter. In the final
hour the market met the sessions heavi-
est pressure and dropped to new lows
for the day. Final bids were around
the days low, off 13 to II points. Local
spot showed a loss of Is to 1915 cents
and New Orleans was unchanged at
11.63 for middling.
Temperatures were generally lower
and the Governments weekly cotton re-
port was decidedly bullish The I'M
favorable weather. however, had been
discounted evidently, because the mar
ket scarcely moved on the report, which
| stressed replanting necessary in most
cotton States and cold weather. The
Journal Of Commences estimate. placing
the reduction in cotton acreage at 2s.2
per cent, was about as expected. The
average acreage reduction OF four re-
ports Is about 80 per cent.

John -. Ryan, chairman, said in his
annual report:
The year opened with a strong do
mand for copper and zinc. a broad buy
ing movement which began in Novem-
Der. 1919. extending into February, and
sales covering deliveries to the end or
the second quarter at fair prices seemed
TO promise n recovery from the depres-
sion resulting from the ending OF the
war and the unsettlement Of the worlds
business due TO that event. The prom
ise failed OF fulhllment. for the buying
OF metals ceased during the first quarter
and deliveries after August were at
rate below production
Mr.. Ryan noted that poor demand
forced the mines TO be closed in March
and April OF this year. and added:
1T is our belief that signs are COM
nencing 10 appear indicating business
and Industrial recovery In which the
metal producers will share, and that the
demand for the products Of our mines is
certain to be restored as normal business

ways more plentiful. Coops and
houses should be cleaned and sprayed
once a week, and clean shavings, chaff,
or sand put on the floor. Examine the
chicks and houses often for lice and
mites and if found they should be got
rid Of at once by following the direc-
tions in Department Circular 16, Lice.

A variety of feeds, with fresh, clean
water, is necessary If chicks are to
grow properly. Perhaps the three
most necessary for rapid growth are
grain feed, green feed and dry mash.
Poultry specialists Of the department
say that in addition to the green feed
and dry mash, which should be pro-
vided regularly, grain mixture
should be fed night and morning, CIV
ing as large a quantity as the chicks
will eat clean, but no more. A good
grain mixture for growing chicks con-
sists of three parts cracked corn, two
parts wheat, and two parts hulled
oats. When available, kafir or rolled
or hulled barley may be substituted
for hulled oats. In localities where
hulled oats, kafir, or rolled barley can
not be obtained, or are too expensive, a
mixture Of cracked corn and wheat
only may be fed until the chicks are
old enough to eat whole oats, when
two parts may be added to the corn
and wheat mixture.

feed is almost as necessary as grain
