CORN AND WHEAT
 SCORE ADVANCE
Export Business In The Former Serves To Lift
 Values Of Cereals

CHICAGO, March 2o.-Export busi- ness in corn served to bring about higher prices today, both for corn and wheat Strength was developed inde- pendently by oats. Wheat closed firm at the same as yesterdays finish to -%@%c higher, May $1.04N CLOS and July $1.06 @10sss, with corn %@%c up, oats showing k@a to %c gain, and provisions varying from 2c decline to a rise of 10c.
 Before it's became known that corn was being bought for export shipment, the corn market had downward trend in sympathy with wheat values. The temporary depression of wheat appear ed to be due to lack of any aggressive buying and to further snowfalls likely to enlarge the winter crop yield in the southwest. Announcement. however, that S20,000 bushels of corn had been taken for Scandinavia was soon follow ed by indications of considerable change of sentiment as to corn and wheat.
 Friends of higher prices for corn talked more confidently than for some time and gave special emphasis to smallness of receipts and to dearth, of consignment notices from the country. Wagon roads in many parts of the west were reported next to impossible. It was asserted, too, that hereafter for several weeks more farmers would be busy with field work and that rural elevator stocks were small.
 Some buying of the September de- livery of wheat accompanied the up- turn in the wheat market. Meanwhile gossip spread that crop losses east of the Mississippi might offset gains else where. Hs..5..4
 Increasing delay to seeding tended to lift the oats market.
 Provisions were firm, despite lower quotations on hogs.

BUSINESS LIGHT NCOTTON MART
Early Advance Checked
 By Realizing, Prices Easing Off Later

NEW YORK, March 20.--onIy a small volume of business was reported in the cotton market. The price movement was irregular with May con tracts easing off from 29.09@2S.75c and closing at 2S.SSc. The general list clos ed steady unchanged to points lower
 There was buying early on reports of continued good spot demand in Liverpool, an unfavorable weather map and further advance in foreign ex- change. The market opened unchang- ed to points lower, but overnight sell ing orders were quickly absorbed with active months selling to 15 points net higher shortly after the call.
 The advance was checked by realiz- ing at 23.51c for July and 25.8Sc for October with prices later easing off under liquidation and commission house selling promoted by weakness in the stock market. July declined to 2s.20c and October to 25.64c, but the close was several points up from the lowest on covering. The census report showing 10, ,159, 900 bales ginned for the season had no apparent effect. A private report estimated the increase in acre age at 3.6 per cent. Exports today 10,1o7, making 4,57o,2s1 so far this sea- son. Port receipts 10,213. United States port stocks, 660,195.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

\ EW
 NEW ORLEANS, March 20.--The cotton market today was a compara- lively dull and narrow affair, with prices fluctuating aimlessly within very moderate range. After an irreg- ular and slightly easier opening the market rallied in the early trading, May reaching 29.18c and July 28.38c, or 16 to 20 points above the previous close. October traded up to 25.35c, or Is points net higher. Later in the morning May eased off to 2s.85c and July to 2S.03c, or B to 35 points down from the high and 15 to IT points below the previous close. October dropped back to 25.11c, or g points net lower. After fluctua- ting within the previous range during the afternoon the market closed at net declines of to points on old crop months and to on new crops.
 The census bureau issued it's final report on ginning for the past season just as the market opened, showing the total ginnings to have been 10,159, ,49S running bales, equivalent to 10,128, ,478 bales of 500 pounds gross weight, which is but 47,000 bales more than the gov ernment's official estimate of 10,9s1 900 bales issued in December. As the fig ures about met general expectations they exerted but little influence on the market. Prices were firmer in the early trading, mainly on the very bad showing by the weather map.
 The market turned easier later in the morning on fair selling. largely based on atstatement a in Congress that the CO., operative associations held 400, 900 which they could not sell at the pres ent low prices without serious loss.
 Delay in the report of the committee examining the government statistics was also bearish influence.
 The market rallied from the low on a denial by the president of the Okla homa Cooperative association that the associations held anything like the large amount of cotton stated in Congress and were not in any difficulties, finan- ciaI or otherwise. The market then be- came very quiet on the expectation that the report of the experts on the gov ernment statistics would be issued dur ing the afternoon, but no report was received up to the time of the close.

Railroads scored newag gains with unusually active; inquiry for high grade obligations. Speculative Interest in the Norfolk and Western convertible sizes, as a re- suit of the prospective lease to the Pen nsyivanfa railroad, continued unabated and the price of the bonds ran up another four points to a new high level at 132, 26 points above the years low. Another upward movement took place in the St. Paul obligations, based partly on reports that net income for Febru- ary would be double that of year ago.
