COTTON MARKET SKIPS
FROM BULLS TO BEARS

NEW YORK. March 25.-A low ba-
romoter, with rain over the southwest.
furnished q bullish factor in the cot
ton market at the opening today, when
prices were 2 to points net higner, @
but before the day was out it had been
turned into a earish item and in
duced selling. under which the market
closed barely steady at net decline
of 4 to Z points. Early SUPPORT of the
market was based on expectations that
the rain area would extend over Sun
day into the astern belt, where it is
further delay to farm preparations.
The subsequent change in sentiment
was brought about by the arrival OF
numerous advices claiming that the
rain in western Texas and Oklahoma
had proved very beneficial and would
crop start. Outside Of this influence
the market was furnished with but
very little news either way. Trade
was small and mostly local, the public
interest being restricted by prospects
for q big coal strike and further
spread of the New England textile
strike.
Slightly higher prices in the early
trading in cotton today were due to
the passage Of the March position with
out any tenders Of consequence. II
was at first believed that no March
notices at all had been issued. but
later it was discovered that notices
for six hundred bales had gone out, but
were not allowed to circulate. After
advances Of to points the market
commenced to fall off under moderate
selling. Toward the end Of the day
prices we're to points under the
final quotations of yesterday. The
close was 6. to points net lower on
the day, with May 1915.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. March 25.-A broad mar
ket. with wheat prices fiuctuating
rapidly and the close near the low
point. marked the short Saturday
Trade. Wheat closed with net losses
of 11s to 2: corn was off 1 to 1ss
oats finished Il to !. lower: lard
from 121a to Is higher, and ribs so
to 321. up.
In the wheat pit eastern bears at
tackled the May option at the start
and were helped by some local trad
mort for July when these tactics
brought the later month to around
LIT and the first and subsequent de-
clines were checked. MAY received
support at around 1.S1. and the local
shorts generally scurried to cover
when this deve1oped. The source of
the buying was obscure. but it evil
IDENTIFY had its limits. for when local
longs tried to unload toward the
close they found no takers. and a
decided slump marked the final thirty
minutes.
Corn was weak from the start and
the May went into new low ground
for the present movement. Export
ers bought corn at Omaha. but domes-
tic industrial demand seemed shut
off, and one bearish report was that
plants at several midwest points
would be shut down because no feed
was being sold and starch was pill
ing up.
Oats merely fluttered up or down
in the wake Of corn.
Provisions were considerably higher
early. but realizing sales checked the
advance. Higher yards prices for live
hogs and improved conditions in the
liverpool provision market were the
chief news factors.

BALTIMORE PRODUCE.

BALTIMORE, Md, March 25 (Spe-
ciaD.-The egg market, under con-
tinued liberal receipts, ruled easier
at the close. with % cents a dozen
the prevailing quotation for strictly
fresh nearby stock. although some
houses showed a willingness to make
concessions and quoted 22h cents.
The lower quotation, however. seems
justifles, as demand is good for both
consumption and cold storage pur-
poses. Prompt shipments are neces-
sary to command top prices. as buy
ers demand quality. and held stock is
slow to find favor.
The general demand for live poultry
is fair. with receipts light and demand
best for young chickens, especially
young winters. two and half pounds
and under, which are quoted at 3S to
AZ pound: large. smooth young
chickens will bring "a and 35. but
at "a and 25. Demand steady for
large. fat old hens at 26 and %, but
small and white Leghorns have to be
sold at discount Season for tyr
keys practically over. but few late
arrivals continue to find sale when of
choice hens. 35 to 38 for young COB
blers: old toms and poor and crooked
breasts neglected at 25 to 80.
Ducks are being held back for their
eggs. hence receipts light and demand
good at 36 for Pekins. IS for puddle:
32 for Muscovy and % for small and
poor. Pigeons also in light receipt
and under a good demand the market
is firm and higher at As to SO a pair.
The season for dressed poultry is
pretty well over. although for fancy:
large capons there is ready sale at
43 to As. and SO to 40 for medium, five
to six pounds; small slips not so
active at 80 and 33. Other lines OF
poultry will not bring any more than
live quotations.
with the arrival of new stock the
market for white potatoes rules
easier and a shade lower, with re-
ceipts running ample. Demand only
fair for choice, No. l stock. at 1.15
to 200 per 100 pounds; 1.50 to LIS
for Maryland and Virginia McCor-
Florida potatoes are quoted at 500
to 1000 a barrel Receipts OF sweets
and yams are running ample and
market rules easy with the supply
of choice stock equal to the demand
at $50 to 4.50 barrel for the former
and $50 to 400 for the latter. No. =
stock on both is slow sale at LIS to
zoo; bushel hampers in better de-
mand at LES to LIS. and So to 75
for No. 2s.
with the advent Of warmer wealth
er and increased supplies of early
spring vegetables from the south. the
market for native and nearby garden
truck rules easily under only a fair
demand. and prices in buyers favor
at the following quotations: Norfolk
! kale, LOO to 1.25 a barrel; parsnips.

100000 SHARES
IN MARKET DEALS
Price Changes irregular,
Weeks Business Being In
fIuenced by Legislation.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The recent
extraordinary outburst of speculation
in the stock market subsided visibly
this week, although dealings again
were broad and approximated the
large total of 100000 shares.
On the surface, price changes among
most leading issues were little more
than irregular, but the undertone
frequently suggested a greater dfvi-
sion of sentiment between the oppos-
ing trading elements.
Higher money rates, presumably in
anticipation of heavy April interest
and dividend payments; bonus legis-
lation In Washington, the prospective
coal strike, and fresh economic un-
serving to check the advance.
Some Stocks Unusually Strong.
Some stocks in which the short in
terest seemed especially extensive
again were conspiciously strong
Some other shares, particularly steels
motors and kindred issues. evidently
owed their greater stability to signs
of trade revival.
Combination of these hopeful con-
ditions was found in the further gen.
eral advance of iron and steel prod
ment that U. s. Steel subsidiaries had
expanded their output to about 65
per cent of capacity.
Interest in the railway group con-
tinued to center around low-priced
or junior shares. The investment
division was hesitant at best and the
cut. in the Northern Pacific dividend
acted as deterrent to transcon.
tinentals and grangers.
Sugars, rubbers, tobaccos, textiles
and related specialties reacted vari-
bly, to adverse developments in most
of those commodities. Coppers were
indifferently responsive to enlarged
exports Of the metal, and oils. especi-
ally the foreign group, proved an un-
certain factor.
Bankers reported the best invest
ment market in more than year
This was borne out not only by the
confidence with which new offerings
were absorbed but by the keen de-
mand for old-1ine or pre-war bonds
Foreign exchanges held well in the
face of the Generalization shown by
German remittances. Shrinkage OF
the mark almost to the vanishing
point seemed to threaten greater
complications in the whole question
Of German reparations.
