NEW ORLEANS, April 10.--The cot
ton market was extremely cratic today,
old crop positions and subsequently, losing
nearly all of the gain The opening
trades developed the high points of the
day, with May at 32.31c, 103 points
or 80 points above the previous close. Oc-
tober showed less feverishness and opened
only 6S points up at 25.40c The Initial
gain was gradually Whitfield away under
persistent profit taking until May traded
as low as 31.40c, July at 29.50c, and Oc-
tober at 24.92c, or 81 and As points, re-
spctively, down from the early high. The
close was near the low, showing net gains
for the day of s to IL points on old crop
positions and 20 points on new crop
months. .-
. The sensational advance at the start
was due to Liverpool coming in fully 40
penny points better than due. This and
a rainy weather map frightened shorts
into frenzied covering and as contracts
were scarce. prices shot up readily. As
there was very general covering of ring
shorts at the opening and in the early
weaker and sagged off gradually with
spasmodic rallies which led to rather
wide fluctuations. The feeling became
rather general the session advanced
that a reaction was due, and notwith-
standing fair support from time to time
prices sagged off until the low points of
the day were reached around the close.
The reaction was helped by weakness
developed in the stock market said to be
due to decreased untitled steel orders and
to runnor that a well known authority
estims&ed the March consumption BY do
mestic mills at only $4,000 bales, against
$4,000 last year. Reports from interior
spot markets were encouraging. reporting
an urgent demand for export and sellers
unable to supply the desirable grades
wanted. Cables from. Manchester also re-
ported an active demand for both cloths
and yarns.

NEW YORK, April 10.-A sensa-

IRON TRADE REVIEW

CLEVELAND, OHIO. April i6sa@ tsps-
eiaI Iron Trade Review today saws;
Announcement. of a new high record of
steel production for this country in March
has been accompanied. by evidence of
keener need of tonnage on the part of va
rious mills. bringing with it a more pro-
spots has become AGATE. Buyers. already
cautious, have beensarendered more un-
willing to place tonnage other than in
a hand to mouth way and are pressing
upon sellers their advantage under pres
emit conditions. This makes 1t difficult
to Judge how far the immediate weak
ness represents a major Fundamental
change in consumption or a passing re-
cession of demand. influenced mainly by
sentimental causes. Total business In
steel, however, undoubtedly has under
gone some general stepdown from the
high volume offered in February and ear
ly March.
More aggressiveness is being shown by
a number of the independent mills in
bidding for new business with price con-
cessions. In this respect these producers
reflect a less favorable position on book
ings than the Steel corporation plants
which show a marked disposition to main
tain prices.
Mill and furnace shipments continue
large and furnish strong offset to the
present market unsettlement. New busi=
ness, while lighter, presents many encour-
aging signs.
Pig iron remains in the doldrums.

steel ingot production. as expected,
reached in March a point never before
equaled in this country when it attained
the average of 159.455 tons or at the
annual rate OF 49,590.O0o tons. The pre-
vious best mark was in April. 1928 with
1870 tons daily average and an an
nual rate of 40. 1850, 900 tons.
| Present indications point to an appre-
ciably lower production in April as some
further capacity is being taken off.
| The soc per ton reduction in the sea-
sons price of Lake Superior iron ore to
the lowest point since 1915 made the
past week greater than generally
expected and is accepted as a manifesto
ton of the sharper lines of competition
that are forming in that industry. The
lead in making this cut was taken by
some of the larger producers Little
other tonnage yet has been sold and that
under negotiation also is small as buyers
are slow in judging their future require
ments. April /. 23,SS0 tons OF ore brought

WHEAT And CORN
REGISTER GAINS
Buying Apparently Due
To Belief That Selling
Was Overdone

CHICAGO, April 10.--Wheat and
corn scored something of an advance
in price today, chiefly as result of
late buying, in which one of the larger
houses took the lead. The buying
movement was apparently due more or
less to Indications that selling had
been oyerdone, wheat closing firm. a
shade to 5sc net higher May SLOT
to $1O2, and July $1.03h@1.0Sss,
with corn Nc to nc up; oats showing
&c to &c gain. and provisions varying
from unchanged figures to 5@7c de-
cline.
At first the wheat market was con-
siderably influenced by the government
crop report, and was forced down under
$1.01 bushel, May delivery, within a
fraction of the lowest level so far this
season.
Sellers contendetl that the govern
ment report if figured on the basis of
the final par yield would suggest pro-
duction of 100000 bushels more
than the official estimate. On the de-
cline in prices, talk became current
that weakening factors had perhaps
been well discounted, and that a chance
for some investment purchasing was
open. Gossip that rehabilitation of
German finances would ultimately have
stimulating effect on commodity mar
kets was given rather increased notice
today among wheat traders. During
the late dealings, little attention was
also fixed on Indiana and Illinois re-
ports pointing to heavier losses in acre
