CROP ESTIMATES BRING RAISE M PRICES OF WHEAT

CHICAGO, March 5.-Estimates by . leading authority that the amount of domestic wheat held on farms is smaller than had been generally supposed did good deal to bring about higher prices in the wheat market today. Closing quotations were firm at Hc to 2c net advance. sI.14i& to S1.14 5-S. Corn gained Ac to 1s d hc. oats l4c to Bc, and provisions 12c to 25c.
 According to the latest figures farm reserves of wheat amount to only 153,O0o.O00 bushels whereas most guesses had put the total at 16o.000000 to 190.000,000 bushels. The export responsible for the new estimate said there had been fn- creased domestic consumption of 33,- 000,000 bushels as compared with last. His report indicated also that serious winter-killing of wheat had taken place, and that the 1923 crop is at a relatively low condition. An advantage held by the bulls was in- creased with announcement of the crop estimate.
 Reports of beneficial rains and snow in the winter wheat belt failed to depress values.
 Corn and oats sympathized with the wkeat advance, notwithstanding that the newest estimate of farm reserves of corn made the total larger than as rule had been looked for, although 205,000, 900 bushels less than last year.
 Higher quotations on hogs tended to lift the provision market as did a liberal gain in export clearances of lard and ribs.

HIGHER RECORDS ARE REACHED EN
 NERVOUS SESSION

NEW YORK, March 5.-New high records for the season were estab- lished in the cotton market today, but the tone was nervous and fluc- tuatlons irregular. July was rela- lively firm, selling up to S0.27c, or 51 points net higher, and closing at soc, with the general market clos ing steady. net 1 point lower to 3f points higher.
 The market opened firm 3 to , points lower on March and May. but generally 15 to IF points higher on relatively firm Liverpoci co oles and better Manchester trade advices. These features evidently offset the reports of easier foreign exchange rascs and nervousness over foreign political conditions and the market showed considerable strength during the merning on covering by July and new crop shorts. builsh southern spot advices and favorable reports from the domestic goods markets.
 The near months We're relatively quie' and easy, but worSed up to 30.7Sc for March and 30.95c for May or 10 to F points net higher, while aew crop deliveries sold 43 to 50 points above Saturdays closing. This carried October up to 27.20c where the market evidently increased real izing or scattered selling for a re- action, as the later fluctuations were nervous and irregular. May lost it's advance, closing a point below the previous close, while the final quo tation for July was B points net higher, and active Jew crop deliv- cries to 16 points higher.
 There was a good deal of switch ing between old and new crop, months and liquidation of straddles was reflected by sales of May against purchases of July and Oc- tober. The buying of new crop months was accompanied by talks of delayed Srop preparations as a result of rain in Arkansas, and while more uniformly bullish reports from southern spot markets failed to in- spre much fresh buying of March and May, they evidently stimulated covering by July and October shorts. Manchester reported an increased business with India and China in cotton goods.
 Exports today 2,s43, making 3.723,- 367 so far this season. Port receipts 1o,1s5. United States port stocks 726,944.
