MORE COVERING IN

Upturn Came lust Before the

BY Associated Press

New York, February IA cover
ing movement developed in the cot
ton market today which at one time
the previous close and kept the mar
ket in a state OF activity and strength
throughout practically the entire ses-
sion. At the opening, there was an
advance of Is to "a points, following
strong upturn in the Liverpool
market and firmness in financial
circles, including foreign exchange.
Under moderate profit taking prices
reacted a few points, May declining
to 17.0Sc and July to 1850, from
which there was an almost perpen
dicular advance thereafter to 1850
and 5000 respectively, for these two
positions. The greatest upturn came
just before the close when renewed
commission house buying impelled
covering among a lot of traders who
had sold earlier in the day on the
reaction theory and final prices were
4S to SO points net higher, with the
undertone firm.
Coming In the face of unfavorable
news on the Irish question and an
extension of the strike situation in
New England. the advance found
traders somewhat unprepared. early
in the day late positions received
most of the support but after midday
the buying was transferred to near
months and covering by March shorts
was an important factor In the ad
vance. The strength of grain and
the presence of numerous buying
orders from interests which have
been credited with actively support
ing the wheat market added to the
bullish feeling among cotton traders
as did also the absence of any pres
sure from the south and some i'm
provement in advices from the local
cotton goods market
Confirmation was had OF the report
that a Texas spot firm is shipping
5000 bales of cotton to New York
for delivery on March contracts, in
addition to which it was reported
that the owner of about 10000 bales
OF the local stock is also preparing
to tender his cotton on March con-
tracts. 1t was stated that several
old established storage companies at
this port are making concessions in
their rates in order to attract cotton
here.

against new crop preparations and
increased the desire to buy. Strength

questionably had much to do with
lifting the market to its highest
levels and the large textile exports
for January from Great Britain and
as reported by the British board of
trade, caused buying for both ac-
counts. According to these reports,

WHEAT SCARED ON
BUSHES To BUY IN
CHICAGO GRAIN PIT.
Closed Well Up With Corn,
Oats and Provisions Fol-
lowing Suit for Good Az
erage Gains

Chicago, February 14.-Rushes to
buy wheat today lifted the price of
that commodity fully 61zc bushel at
one stage of the days transactions.
The urgency of traders was generally
explained as the result of a proceed
ing big rise of values in European
markets. The finish here was strong,
SA to sc net higher with May
s1.sSl7 to 1855 and July $1.21M to
LII Is. Corn gained u to ia c, oats
Y to "a @ q and provisions 10000 to
3Oc.
With knowledge that wheat In Liv-
erpool was being quoted today at
equal to more than $3.50 a bushel,
American money, whereas wheat in
Chicago was recently selling at less
than 81, the majority of traders here
took at once to the buying side of the
market. In twinkling the price
jumped to the highest point yet
achieved by the July delivery and to
new high figures for May since the
recent upward movement of values
began. News OF disappointing returns
in Argentina added to prevailing
anxiety about the apparent scarcity
of world supplies, and SO too, did con-
tinued adverse crop advices from the
southwestern portion Oh the uomesllS
winter wheat belt.
Selling to take profits brought about
setbacks in price later, but before the
day was ended the market resumed
its upward swing, with fresh impetus
from reports of an enlarged demand
for flour and from announcement OF
decrease in the United States Wis
ible supply of wheat There was also
talk of big export business in
wheat having been put through at
the seaboard.
Corn and oats prices reflected to
some extent the action of the wheat
market and were also helped upward
by anticipations that $4,000 tons OF
corn grits would be bought tomorrow
for Russian famine relief.
Provisions assembled In price with
grain and hogs.
