Selling Is Active In After.
 noon On British Ship . building Lockout

NEW YORK, March 26.--A rally from an opening decline met increased offerings in the cotton market today, and after advancing from 26.5oc to 27osc, July broke to- 26.39c in the late trading. The close was easy at about the lowest of the day. showing net de- cIiucs of 25 to S7. points.
 Reports that the French cabinet had resigned were accompanied by sharp break in Liverpool just before trading here started and the local market opened barely steady. at decline of to g points. Tho initial offerings were soon absorbed! and prices turned firmer on rallies in the later, Liverpool cables, reports that bookings of ocean freight room for shipment out of the local stock had bcep increased to 50,000 tales and prospects for unsettled v'eatber- in the southwest. May was relatively firm, selling up to 21.62c, or = points net higher. Later months showed net advances oe g to 34 points before the end of the morning. This at- tracted realizing and selling became more active during the afternoon on private reports from Liverpool that lockou: was threatened in the British shipbuildihg industry. May closed at c6.95c and October at 24.0sc.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

1 NEW ORLEANS, March 26.-The cotton market alternated between pe- I riods of strength and weakness today, but selling pressure ultimately proved the more powerful influence. After opening 15 to 8 points down, prices rallied during the morning to 27.S2c for May and 2700c for July, or 37 to SS points net higher than yesterdays close. October recovered to 24.00c, or only 10 points above tho previous close. After ruling rather steady during the greater part of the session, prices broke sharply in the last half hour. of trad ing, old crop months receding almost to the early low and new crop months made new lows at 23.62c for October and 23.43c for December, or 3S to 3o points down from the highs. Old crop months showed an extreme spread of 66 to 76 between highs and lows. The close was near the low points, showing net losses of 9 to @ points for the day. a
 At the start the market was easier on favorable weather, poor cables and the report of the resignation of Pre- mier Poincare, and old crop months established their low points for the day on this initial break. The weekly weather report proved much more bull tsh than expected, showing that owing to wet soil, but poor progress has been made in farm work. The firmness of trencn rrancS also indicated that the resignation of the French cabinet had been rather favorably received in fi- nancial circles. The market rallied we'll on these developments and con- tinued to improve during the entire morning on covering induced by New York advices to the effect that 50,0O0 bales were to be exported from the stock there.
 After ruling steady during the great CT part of the afternoon, sustained by reports that ell freight room for Ger many had been booked up ta the end of April, the market broke badly during the late afternoon and all the earlier improvement was lost and something additional besides, old crop positions dropping back to. nearly the early lows and new crop months. making new lows. The depressing influence was a cable report that British shipbuilders had unanimously decided to lock out the labor in their ship yards.

UPSET OCCURS
 IN GRAIN PRICES
Wheat And Otfsr Cereals Had Showed Strength
 Till Near The Close

CHICAGO, March 26.--Sudden upset ting of grain prices in the last half hour of the board of trade session to- day followed reports that New Eng land was. importing supplies of oats from Canada, duty paid. Wheat closed unsettled shade to Sc to hc net lower, May s1o1ls to $1.o1A5 @t .o1ss and July $1.o3H to $1.o3A Q1.o3%, with corn unchanged to Ac off, and oats at Ac to M@%c down. In provisions. the out como ranged from 1oc decline to 6c gain.
 Until near the close wheat as well as other cereals had shown pronounced strength that in measure appeared to result from news of the resignation of the Poincare ministry. Leading trad CTS here expressed the view that a dif- ferent policy toward Germany on the part of France might be expected and that European demand would be broad ened for wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley from this side of the Atlantic. The fact that liquidating sales. which of late were burdening the wheat mar ket. had stopped tended further to lift prices. Moreover; steady commission house buying the greater part of the day encouraged some belief that per- hsps a decided advance was at hand.
 When oats gave symptoms of some thing like collapse, however, numerous wheat traders quickly changed front. Selling out of wheat purchased earlier was only affected, though, by the wip- ing away of all the gains and Of "a little more besides. si
 Oats dropped more than cent from the days top prices. It was current talk that Canadian oats were being freely offered in New England on a lower basis than oats could be sold for here. Corn sympathized, although steadied by adverse weather,
 Provisions were easier, owing to hog market declines. a.;
