EARLY DECLINES
 ASRESULT OF NEAR MONTHUNLOAD|NG
General Staple List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of 1 to 32 Points on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York, March 14-Early de- clines as a result of near month liquidation were followed by sharp rallies in the cotton market today. May sold off to 17.70c on the early break and later advanced to 17.93c, closing at 17.91c. New crop months were relatively firm during the en- tire day with October selling at 16.73c. or 33 points net higher. The general market closed steady at net advance of 1 to 32 points.
 The opening was irregular, with June IA points and May 2 points lower, while other months were un- changed to { points higher or rela- lively steady cables. Fewer March notices were issued than looked for, only 17 being reported, but the fea- ture of the early trading was heavy. spot house selling of both March and May. March broke to 17.90c or 21 points net lower, and within 20 points of the May price, and the weakness of the near positions had an un- settling influence on the general list. July sold off to 16.95c and October to 16.38o or 2 to g points net lower. but selling of new crop deliveries was held In check by the forecast for rains in the eastern belt. and as soon as near month liquidation siackened, the general list turned firmer.
 Near month offerings were ab- sorbed by Liverpool buying, presum- ably to cover short straddles. and there also was trade buying against call cotton. This left the market with a comparatively small supply of contracts and prices rallied dur ing the Afternoon on covering In the old crop months and,a scattering de- mand for the new crop delivery. The firmer late ruling of foreign ex- change and continued reports of inn proving trade conditions In Man chester encouraged the rally which carried March up to 1S.1Sc and July to 1725c or to 21 points net higher on the old crop positions, while new crop months showed advances of 33 to 34 points.
 There was not much comment on the census report showing domestic consumption of 473,073 bales for Feb ruary against 395115 last year. Re- ports that preliminary returns to a prominent southwestern spot firm pointed to an increase of 20 per cent in the Texas acreage seemed to be offset by the fear of further delays in farm work.

and on the rather unsatisfactory showing of the census bureau report on American consumption for Feb ruary. 437073 bales against 526,552 in January, carried the market to It's lowest levels to 1S points under the close of yesterday, but after the mid dle of the morning very little selling pressure was felt and price com m fenced to rise on private cablesrams from Liverpool reporting large sales to India by Manchester and on claims of a better spot demand locally and over the south generally.
 According to market gossip much of the buying of the late session was due to expectations of another wet weather map in the morning. con- siderable portion of the belt Is now complaining that too much rain is hindering preparations for the new crop. At the highest the trading months wore 16 to 27 up net.

ENLARGED BUYING CAUSED UPTURNS
 IN WHEAT PRICES
Corn and Oats Dropped Into Line for Rises, While Pro- visions List Varied, Un-
 changed to 20c Up
 By Associated Press

Chicago, March 14.-Upturns in the price of wheat resulted today from enlarged commission house buying based more or less on opinions that something of a rally from the recent severe decline was about due. The market closed unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to K cent higher. with May s1ssH to s1.s4 and July *1.15h to s1.15%. Corn gained A to hc: oats finished A off to E advance, provisions varying from un- changed figures to a rise of 2oc. Notwithstanding lower quotations from Liverpool there was no rush here to sell wheat at the opening. and the fact became quite evident that liquidation which had been conspicuous factor of late was ended for at least the time being. Further rains In the southwest, like the weakness at Liverpool counted only as a transient bearish influence. With a few strong commission houses taking to the buying side, the market gradually developed an upward ten- dency that during the greater part of the day much more than offset initial declines in price.
 Reports that 2500.00o bushels of Canadian wheat had been purchased for Europe and that in ad- dition Germany had also bought some wheat, helped strengthen values in the last part of the session. It was said, too, that large amount of rye had been booked for export. Corn and oats were steadied by the action of the wheat market and by small ness of receipts. Export and do- mestic demand for both feedstuffs. however, was rather slow. Packers buying lifted the provision market a little, although for while lower quotations of hogs had depressing influence on values.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 By Associated Press

New Orleans. March 14.-Fluctua- tions in cotton today carried the price both above and below the level of yesterdays close, May trading at its lowest at 16.3sc and at its highest at 16.6sc, finally closing at 16.66c. On the close the list stood at net gains on the session of 14 10 23 points.
 Much of the buying of the day was done on the continued rainy weather in central and eastern portions of the belt and on expectations of further rain to come east of the Mississippi river. In the early trading buying on excessive moisture was somewhat restricted because of the satisfaction felt over the rainfall in west Texas and Oklahoma. the one section of the belt where rain was considered of benefit.
