NEW COVERING LIFTS COTTON Net Gains Of 8 To, 34 Points Shown On Gen
 eral List

NEW YORK, April 16.-Although unsettled and irregular in early trad ing. the cotton smarket was generally higher today on renewed covering by near month shorts and unfavorable weather reports from the south. May sold up from 29.S5c to 30.6Sc and closed at 3O.4Ic, with the final tone firm at net advances of 8 to 34 points on the general list.
 The market opened steady at un- changed prices to an advance of 12 points on relatively steady Liverpool cables and an unfavorable opinion of the weekly weather report. Buying was light and prices soon reacted under liquidation, southern and local selling, said to be due to continued complaints of a poor trade in cotton goods and a disposition to even up contracts in ad- vance of the approaching holidays. Active months sold about 20 to 30 points net lower in consequence. but the decline was checked by covering at 24.90c for October and the buying be- came little more urgent following the western belt forecast for cold weather in the southwest.
 October rallied to 25.4Oc and the general market showed net advances of 9 to 55 points during the afternoon, but closed a few points off from the best under realizing.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. April 1s-Although the cotton market was two-slded affair today and fluctuated rather freely, the general trend was upward. After open ing Il to q points up, the market eased off soon after the opening call. May dropping to 2s.s2c, July to 2s.s4c, and October to ,24.30c, or to 24 points below the previous close. From these, the low levels of the day, the market experienced several alternate rallies and reactions, but by early afternoon May traded at 30.T5c. July at 2S.91c. and October at 24.70c. or S3 57 and 40 points, respectively, up from the low of the morning. After reaction in the afternoon the market closed at a net gain for the day of 30 points on May and to 16 points on later months.
 At the start the market was favorabIy affected by the weather map, which in dieated more bad weather and probably cold wave following; but after small initial gain the market eased off on what was construed as generally favorable weekly weather and crop review, which stated that planting had made fair prog ress in many portions of the belt, all thought 1t was admitted that the soil was too wet in many sections for farm opera tions. The official forecast for rather gen eral rains and thundershowers. with snow and freezing in the western belt brought about a sharp rally during the latter part of the mofning, but some of this gain was lost owing to profit taking in advance of the Easter holidays.
 There was a good rally again in the early afternoon. which made new highs on all months but July, which did not ad . vance above the high established earlier in the day, the bulge being due to re- ported covering by big New York trader and short covering generally owing to fear of the i'll effects of the threa tened cold wave. The report that Germany and France were both disposed to be conciiia- tory and carry out the Dawes plan helped the advance.
 The reaction of the last part of the afternoon was due entirely to realizing and evening up in advance of the trIpIe holiday at the end of the week. but the close nevertheless showed a moderate gain for the day on May and small gains on other months. NEW ORLEANS COTTON

CORN E LEADER
 | IN GRAIN I|PTl]RN
Market Scars On Sudden Reversal Of Views Of
 Previous Sellers

CHICAGO, April 16.-Corn led a sharp advance in grain values today. Wet weather likely to delay corn re- ceipts brought about a. sudden reversal of outlook on the part of previous sell lers. and with offerings scarce the market began to soar. Corn closed firm 13sc to IS @1Mc net higher, May 7SA to7S1A @TSasc. The wheat finish was unsettled, 4 to 1c up, May $1.O2A @1.02% to $1 023s, and July $1.O41a to $1. 1.04A@1.04%, with oats at 1s@Ac to kc gain, and provisions unchanged to a rise of 5c. It was apparent almost from the outset that the corn market had become unusually sensitive to purchasing orders. Only scattered buying was in evidence at first, but demand grew gen eral as the upturn of values gathered momentum. The fact that today's re- ceipts here totaled barely 70 carloads and with Missouri river points appeared to be consistently outbidding Chicago both for corn and oats put wOuld-be sellers under decided handicap. No important reaction took place at any time and the market closed at virtually the days top level.
 Crop damage reports from Illinois, Indiana and Ohio furnished a large part of the impetus for the gains scored by the wheat market. Special notice was taken of a message telling of 50 per cent damage to winter wheat at one locality in Ohio. Besides word was at hand that Germany had officially pronounced the Dawes plan the basis for a swift solution, of the reparation prob lem. Another streng thehfng factor was announcement of some export business in United States wheat by way of Mon treal. ss.is,t. .s: SaS y <:
