SOME LIQUIDATION OF MARCH AND MAY. CONTRACT COTTON
General Market Closed Very Steady at a Net Advance of 21 to 30 Points on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York, March 16.-Some fur ther liquidation of March and May contracts was absorbed on a slight early decline in the cotton market today and prices rallied sharply dur ing the afternoon. May contracts sold up from 17.5sc to 17.95c and closed at 1793c, with the general market closing very steady at net advance of 21 to 30 points.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of points, and soon showed net losses of about s to 13 points under renewed near month liquida- ton promoted by the circulation of 13 March notices and slightly dis appointing Liverpool cables. There also was scattered selling on the bet ter weather reported in the belt, but the pressure against March and May was much less active than recently. and the market soon turned steadier on covering. trade buying and buy ing for Liverpool account.
 The latter was accompanied by reiterated reports of improving trade in Lancashire, and it looked as though some of the interests which had been long of March and May against shorts in July had liqui- dated their March and May contracts earlier in the week and were cover ing their July shorts today. At any rate, recent near month sellers were active buyers of July on the after noon advance and covering became more general following reports of overflows in the central belt. March contracts advanced from 17.74c to 1S.10c and July sold up from 17.o1c to 17.3ec, with active months show ing net advances of 2S to 27 points late in the afternoon.
 The close was at nearly the best prices of the day. Local brokers noted little or no change in the news from the domestic goods trade or the New England mill situation, but evidently considered the better Gan- cashire reports an offset to unfav- orable features in that respect. Liver pool was a buyer here nearly all day but much of the demand was at- tributed to covering following the subsistence of near month pressure and the reactions of the past several days

LARGE AND VARIED TURNOVER ON WALL STREET YESTERDAY
Exchange on London Primer, Although Markets at the Center Showed Further
 IrreguIarity
By Associated Press

New ! ork March 16.-Accompanied by another large and varied turn over, sales approximating 1.15o,oOO shares, the stock market today con- tinued It's upward course. In a flow instances, however. the list mani Tested signs of a top heavy or over bought condition.
 Virtually all the days happenings were helpful to the enhancement or quoted values. The money market was in its easiest position of the year and leading foreign exchanges made additional recoveries.
 Railroads were reported as buyers of equipment, further price advances were said to be in contemplation by independent steel producers. and the American Railway association stressed a heavy gain in carload ings.
 Extensive purchases of copper metal for export were said to oe under consideration and trade au- thorities announced distinct expan- sion of the demand for motor cars, trucks and various accessories.
 Great Northern and Northern Pa cific were among the few conspicu ously weak stocks in the early deal ings. Both closed at material de- clines, despite assurances that no un- favorable influences were to be drawn from the change in Great Northerns division period.
 Crucible Steel also was depressed for a time on rumors that the di- rectors might take adverse dividend action at the meeting scheduled to take place after the close of the market, but the stock more than re- covered it's loss in the final dealings.
 The initial quotations for call loans was ( per cent but the rate fell to sM before noon and to in the aft ernoon this equalling the lowest figure of the year. Time money of ferings were more liberal and ac- eeptance call rates also eased to ! per cent.
 Exchange on London was firmer. although markets at tho center showed further irregularity. French and Belgian rates also improved. tho Italian remittance reacted and Ger man bills continued under the influ- ence of the reparations tangle. The Dutch quotation was a trifle higher. although all of the Scandinavian rates were lower by to 10 points.

RECENT SETBACK
 HELD TOO SEVERE, 50 WHEAT GOES UP.
Corn and Oats Follow Suit With Fractional Gains, While Provisions Unchanged
 to Higher
By Associated Press

Chicago. March Is. - Speculative buying based largely on opinions that recent set backs in the price of wheat had been too severe gave the wheat market today decided upward swing. The close was strong at to 3asc net higher. with May ;135% to s1.S5h and July $1.16% to s1.16%. Corn gained 1as to 1Bc and oats ss o # to Ac In provisions the outcome was unchanged to BOG higher.
 At first the wheat market here had downward tendency owing to new declines in quotations in Liverpool. It soon became apparent, however, that selling orders in Chicago had lost their popularity for at least the time being. An active demand for com mission houses developed and the contention was made that notwith- standing reported weakness of Brit ish markets the difference between Chicago and Liverpool values of late had widened instead of narrowing Then, too, it was said that continental European countries were buying. and with dwindling receipts at Kansas City and Minneapolis together with adverse crop reports from Ohio the market during the later dealings con- tinued to gain impetus toward a higher level of prices. One of the bullish factors just before the close was a Philadelphia message saying dealers there were picking up all the cheap flour they could lay hands on.
 Industrial demand for corn and falling off in the volume of arrivals here helped to lift values both of corn and oats. Receipts of corn here were the smallest in many weeks.
 Despite heavy deliveries of lard on March contracts the provision market averaged higher inland with hogs and grain.

 Ry Assocfatcd Press

New Orleans, March 16.-Covering of the short interest put the price of cotton strongly higher today with moderate losses In the early trading. Highest levels came late in the ses- sion when the list stood at net gains of 21 to 2s points. with May up to 16.6Sc. Tho close was 21 to "A points net higher with May at 16.66c.
 Around the opening the tone was unsettled, the issuance of notices for 1,700 bales to go against March, causing hesitation. Reports to brokers here of large failure in Manchester increased selling and more or less selling was also caused by the dry weather over the belt with prospects of more dry weather to come. Prices soon fell to level to IS points under the close of yes terday. to 1927 for March and 16.33c for May. As soon as it was seen that March notices were being stopped the market did better and before the middle of the morning the active months were at small net ad- vances.
