NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 New Orleans, March 31.-Promise of better weather over the belt caus- ed softening in the cotton market today after a steadiness in the early session during which May was sent to 16.S1c and the list showed net gains of to 13 points. Private messages told of considerable cotton up in central Texas and this helped to de- press prices but after the noon hour selling was scattered and the market fell off mainly through lack ( f sup port, finally landing 6 to 9 points under the close of yesterday with May off to 16.61c.
 The close was at net losses on the day of 5 to s points with May at 1662c.
 Early steadiness was caused by the rains on the weather map in central and eastern portions of the belt and by private messages from the eastern belt stating that the rainfall was heavy during the day and would re- suit in further serious delay to new crop preparations. Flood warnings for several rivers in Texas added to the steadiness but after the fore cast went up. calling for fair weather for the major part of the cotton re- zion, the demand fell off and in the late trading some little liquidation came from the long side
 Mill takings of 17S,000 bales for the week were larger than expected but did no more than steady the mar ket around the middle of the day. These takings compared with 144.00O bales this week last year and I62,00o two years ago.

WHEAT UNDERWENT. MATERIAL SETBACK. IN THE CHICAGO PIT.
Corn and Oats Both Went to Good Losses, While in Pro- visions the Quotations

By Associated Press

Chicago, March s1.-Wheat under went material setback in price to- day, owing largely to bearish crop estimates. The market closed heavy at 1 to 2%c net lower, with May s1.s2h to $1.S2ss and July, s1.17h to s117S. Corn lost l tp l fsc and oats F to s4c. In provisions the outcome was unchanged to 15c lower.
 According to reports given out to- day by unofficial authorities, the condition of the winter wheat crop appeared to be around 79 per cent as compared with 76 in December last Estimates of the probable Ne1d va ried from 550,000,0 ,000 bushels to 5S0 000,O00 bushels, against December estimates of 527.000 bushels. With such figures current and with mili- ing and export demand slow, the market readily took downwaru course. especially as Liverpool quo tations showed weakness, and there was continued moist weather in the domestic winter corn belt
 Lack of support for wheat values was particularly apparent near the end of the day The May delivery which was much in demand yester- day by shorts. had no special prop today and underwent relatively greater setback in price than did July or September. All the active de- liveries closed at the bottom prices of the season. Corn and oats went lower with wheat. notwithstanding that wet weather was said to have decreased the acreage of oats as much as per cent and to have de- layed to serious extent farm work as a whole. Provisions were pulled down by the weakness in the hog market and by slowness of cash de- mand

FURTHER COTTON

 SOUTHERN HEDGING
General Staple .~kist Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Four to Nine Points
 on the Day
By Associated Press

New York, March 31.=A slight fur ther advance met considerable south ern hedge selling as well as realizing in the cotton market today and was followed by reactions, with July sell ing off from 17.4sc to 17.2Sc. closing at 17S1e. The general market closed steady at a net decline of to 9 points.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of to 2 points on reports of rains in the eastern belt. talk of an increased export demand for spot cot ton in the south, and the continued good tone of the stock market. Ac- tive months soon showed net ad- ve.nces of to 13 points. May con tracts selling up to 1S.0Sc and Octobe CT to lille. These prices seemed to at tract increased offerings. Some traders took the large spot business in the south to mean that prices had again reached level at which hold CTS were willing to sell freely and the appearance of hedge selling here seemed to back up this opinion. Realizing also was promoted by more favorable eastern belt forecast or nervousness over the threatened coal strike, and while there was mid-afternoon rally on bullish week end statistics prices reached the low est levels of the day in the late trading. May sold off to 17.S9c and October to 16.93c, making net declines of to 10 points and the close was within a few points of the lowest Prospects for better weather over the weekend were considered chiefly re- sponsible for the setback and 1t looked as though the covering move ment of the past two or three days has left the market in rather an easier technical position.
 There was not much change in the news from the cotton goods market the better business of the previous day being followed by reports that cloths were more difficult to buy at yesterdays quotations and that buy CTS were refusing to pay an advance.
 The worlds visible supply of Amer ican cotton showed decrease of 71,2S0 bales for the week, compared with an increase of 12.0S1 last year.

New York, March s1.-Trading in the stock marked today again was unusually active and diversified. Many popular issues SCOT ? highest prices of the year on transactions ap- prcximating 100000 shares.

 Apart from this incident, sentiment in speculative circles continued bull ish. The approaching crisis in the coal industry seemed more than ball anced by developments helpful to the long account.
 Among these was the announce ment that operations are to be 1e- sumed tomorrow at tfe plants of the Porphry Copper companies. namely, Utah. Ray, Chino and Nevada Con solidated.
