NEW YORK. March 22.-The cot

better Liverpool cables than due
and furth& encouraging reports on
the improved character of trade
condition at Manchester. Moreover,
the foreign exchange market was
strong again. and reports from
Memphis show the Mississippi River
still rising, and the Weather Bureau
IL continuing Its warnings of pos
sible overflow along some parts of
the river during the next week or
so. with the flood stage above the
Memphis district already reached.
Much new trade or outside buying,
however, was restrained by fears
that the policy the Massachusetts
cotton manufacturers have adopted

month ago by the Rhode Island and
New Hampshire mills to cut wages

the strike movement to all the mills

matter is expected to develop the
next day or two. as the movement

resist both Of these decisions is be-
ing supported by the American
Federation of Labor through Mr..
Gompers' influence.
Liverpool and Continental houses
were fairly good buyers OF cotton
on the moment. New Orleans also
appeared as a moderate buyer. Lo-
cal trade interests promptly sup
piled these demands and continued
selling throughout the forenoon.
This pressure was sufficient after
the noon hour to send the mar
ket of 20 points from yesterdays

list and about 80 for March. The
latter month was the weakest on

about $500 bales. Its price went

declined also to 1880. July de-
cIined TO 1920. and next October
contracts to about 1880. There was
some scattered selling by local COM
mission houses and various wall

CHICAGO. March 22-Wheat huc-
tuated rapidly within a range Of
slightly over cents. breaking early
on scattered liquidation, which was
absorbed by strong commission
houses and by interests that gen.
orally act for foreign account and
later short coverings made astrong
rally. On the bulges commission
houses sold freely. Sentiment is de-
cidedIy mixed. Liverpool closed u
AID higher after being 1kd lower
at the opening, and IL was under
stod that Germany had taken con-
siderable Argentine wheat on pas
sage. Export demand at the sea-
board generally was slow, although
little business was put throusn.
Receipts from the interior continue
to exceed last year. and the visible
supply is not decreasing rapidly
enough to suit the bulls. Duluth
and Fort William are both receiV-
ing considerable wheat now for
shipment at the opening of naviGa-
ton. Crop reports from the South
west were generally favorable.
Corn showed stubborn resistance
to selling pressure, and while on

cent from the inside figures, ana
there was rather persistent buying
by commission houses and local
traders around so cents for May and
63 cents for the July, which alb
sorbed the selling by scattered IN
terests. The cash situation is re-
Garded as bearish with slow do
mestic and seaboard demand, but
the trade is giving il little attention
at the present time. Oats were in
