WHEAT LOWEST
 SINCE JULY 30
May Descends To $1.W IA On a Fresh Wave Of
 Liquidating Sales

CHICAGO, March Manifestations that much wheat win be delivered on May contracts had a gcod deal to do today with a price decline, which car ried the wheat market down to the lowest level since July 30 last. Wheat closed unsettled at Ac to n01c net decline: May, $1.04x D1.04M, and July, S1.06M, with corn N@kc off, oats showing hc to h@%c loss, and pro visions varying from 6c setback to q rise of %.
 A fresh wave of liduidating sales. soon after the opening, found values lacking any, adequate support until the May delivery had descended to $1041h, only %c from the seasons bottom fig ures to date. Talk, of bulky deliveries to be witnessed in May grew out of the slowness with which supplies are decreasing and out of the fact that export business Is apparently. next to impossible at prevailing prices. Send ing of considerable wheat into store here served to emphasize the dearth of demand. In addition, more snow had fallen in the west and southwest, increasing the likelihood of a big yield in those sections. Some caution on the part of sellers, however, developed near the end of the day. and a moderate rally ensued
 Corn and oats weakened in sympathy with wheat. Before reaction set in, corn dropped to 77c for May, new low point since the recent downturn com menced. The break in prices today, though, resulted in less liquidation than most traders had looked for, and the market recovered to material extent, nothwithstanding that Chicago receipts of corn continued to exceed the ship ments from here.
 Higher qoutations on hogs upheld the provision market

COTTON MARKET | AGAIN IRREGULAR
Opening Firm At Slight Gain, But Advance Is
 Later Wiped Out

NEW YORK, March 1s7--The cotton market was only moderately active again today and fluctuations were ir- regular. After selling at 29.26c. May broke to assoc. but recovered part of the loss and closed at 2s.s5c. The gen.. eral market closed steady, net 10. points lower to z points higher.
 The opening was firm, and active months sold IS to 26 points met higher right after the call on relatively firm Liverpool cables, reports of an in creased spot business In the English market, firmness of foreign exchange rates and unfavorable weather reports from the south. The advance was checked by realizing at 25.99c for Octo- Der, however, and prices turned easier during midday owing to complaints of continued poor demand for cotton goods and failure of unfavorable weather advices to create more buying power in futures. October broke to 25.71c, with the general list showing net losses of 8 to II points, but offerings tapered off and there were rallies on covering.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

h NEW ORLEANS, March 19.-Cotton prices developed great irregularity to- day, with a pronounced absence of def mite trend. After opening higher and advancing until May, July and Octo- Der were 26 to 36 points above the pre- vious days sclose, prices slumped off g to 55 points for these months, or 3 to 19 points net lower than yesterdays s close. After a good rally, in the after noon the market declined sharply in the final trading almost to the low of the day. The close showed net losses of to g points on old crop positions and to on new crops.
 At the start, more cheerful cables, large spot sales at Liverpool, bad weather and bullish weekly weather re- ports caused enough covering and fresh buying to push old crop months up 35 to 36 points, and Octobre up 26 points. The market then fluctuated within narrow range and ruled steady for time.
 The market became easier later in the morning and declined under rather liberal selling, largely due to advices from New York that 1t was thought probable the report of the experts on the statistics of the department of com merce would make no reduction. As this report was later characterized as absurd and most traders believed that very bullish corrections would be made, the market rallied we'll, early sellers buying back what they had sold.
 The decline in the final trading which forced prices down almost to the early lows was due to reports of a dock strike in Bremen.
