Realizing Mouement Is Feature in Cotton

NEW YORK, March 23.-The realizing or liquidation movement which began in May contracts. has continued with May deliveries selling down to, 30 .o7c. or . lit
 tic more than 1sc from the best.
 The selling has been attributed very largely to disappointment over the failure of spot demand to improve as the time
 March commitments. Evidently there had been buying earlier in the month on an expectation that there was considerable volume of nd7March shipments which would have to be covered in the southern month, and the failure of this to show in
 the daily advices from the south prob ably has led to considerable scattered sell ing.
 Aside from this the market has been in fluenced by growing impression that
 act unfavorably on general business in the long run. according to local brokers. and
 there also has been a feeling that recent the number of boil weevil in the south. Toward the end of the week there were slight rallies on covering. but they were not maintained, owing to reports of an easier spot basis in the southwest. and vances here, particularly in the early new crop months. Owing to further rain in the
 belt there have been continued complaints of delays in farm work. but they have evidently been offset by the hope of re- duction in the boil weeyil menace. and
 traders here still are inclined to antci-
 pate an increase of about 10 per cent in acreage accompanied by efforts to produce | an increased yield per acre.
 The census figures showing s.72s.o40 bales of cotton ginned for the season served to emphasize the probable strength of the end-season statistical position. but were so nearly in line with trade expecta- tions that they had little or effect on the immediate market. At the same time local bulls pointed out that remaining sup plies in the south small that any renewal of spot demand probably would find very prompt response following re- cent liquidation in futures, while they also emphasized the uncertainty of the new crop outturn in view of the delays all ready reported in early preparations.

ACTIVE SELLING| IS DAYS FEATURE
 IN COTTON MART

NEW YORK, March 2".-There was a renewal of liquidation and more active selling of new crop deliveries in the cotton market here today which sent the price of October de- liveries off to 2567c, or 67 points below yesterdays final quotation. Last prices were the lowest of the day with the market easy at a net decline of A to 67 points. The mar ket opened steady, to i0 points lower on old crop positions which were influenced by relatively easy cables, while the new crop was un- changed to l point higher on the un- favorable showing of the early weather map. The little demand noted at the start was very soon supplied. and prices weakened during the morning. There were rallies early in the afternoon on the moder- ately bulish showing of the week end figures but they met increased offer ings accompanied by complaints of of continuation of a poor spot de- mand and an easier spot basis in the southwest. Stop orders were un- covered as prices worked lower and there was a good deal of selling of early new crop deliveries by brokers with southern and western connec- tions in the late trading. This may have been ecouraged by the outlook for clearing weather in the south west and the selling also was ac- companied by reports that some op- orators were convinced that weevil damage this season would be much less than last year. Offerings of old crop position were relatively light after the heavy liquidation reported earlier in the week but July made a new low ground for the movement, selling off to 29.25c or 45 points net lower. May declined to 30.1Oc or A points below last nights closing quotations, while the more active new crop months sold at net losses of 65 to 67 points. Last prices were the lowest of the day. There were rumors that some selling here by brokers with southeastern connec- tions was due to unfavorable spot market conditions, while the south west was supposed to be selling on an easier spot basis and tile outlook for clearing weather in that aection. Port receipts today 13,744. United States port stocks 663,456 Exports 4854, making 3,945,424 so far this season. Liverpool reported a very quiet market there and was a moder- ate seller here probably on straddles.

'MORELOSSESTHAN GAINS M TRADING
 ON CURB MARKET

NEW YORK, March 23. - Losses outnumberedN gains at the close of todays curb market, but impressive independent strength was shown by Schulte Stores and Maracaibo oil, which established new tops at S4l2 and 1912, respectively. The former closed at S2la for net gain of Az points and the latter closed at it's top price for a net gain of 3ss. Maracaibo z per cent onds of 1925 jumped from 160 to 1SS. Strength of the Maracaibo issues were founded on the announcement that the company had contracts with the South American Gulf company for the development of part of its Venezuelan properties, receiving a large cash bonus and share in the profits.
 Other oils were heavy, Standard Oil of Kentucky dropping to 961a, but recovering to 9S1a, off zss on the day. the total transactions being relatively small. Most of the other losses were held to fractions.
 Narrow and irregular fluctuations took place in the mining group with a renewal of activity in shares sell ing less than $1.

 Following from J. l.. Bennett & Co.,, Chi cago received by Doremus Daniel & Co.,: Wheat The market suffered a sharp setback with considerable liquidation. The reports of more wheat to go to store. 270,000 bushels, with a limited export de- mand, and lack of domestic cash buying caused free selling. Foreign markets were steady and there was nothing any more bearish than usual in the cables the news from abroad but the persistent sell ing has begun to tell on the market, off setting the new buying, while the specula- tive support has been less aggressive ing to the declines in cotton and stocks. The weather and crop news does mot courage any positive bullish action so far. Bradstreets clearances were 4,57S000 bushels for the week, and from Argentine sh ipments were 4,562.000. Corn: Scattered selling of long corn, with the weakness in wheat. started selling out of several lines on stop loss orders late in the ses- son There moderate commission house demand. Cash prices were steady. Europe will probably need as much as total clearances for week. which were 2.169,0O0, and possibly more, from this country for the next two months each week. Export bids here were Ac higher relatively than week ago. Country offer ings light and we look for a com paratively small movement for the next two months. Consequently we favor the buying side of dips. Oats: Rallied lit tie at the start but sold off later with Country sales light. but %he primary re- ceipts were still larger than a year ago. Commission houses buying of fair propor- tions on setbacks. Provisions. Irregular trend with considerable pressure on ribs especially. Foreign news less bullish with Liverpool lower for lard.- Hogs s1oc up with receipts 36,000; top was S.50.-Dore- mus. Daniel & Co.
