Chicago wheat prices sag on March 10 as bearish cables and good domestic winter crop prospects weigh on the market. European crop outlook improves and Australia increases offers, while lack of export business keeps any rally minimal.
Wheat and corn prices dipped on selling pressure and weather but later steadied as short covering and demand influenced by better cash activity. Liverpool cotton opened higher on near and distant months with steady spot quotes and solid American sales and receipts at 12 15 pm.
New York trading opened with renewed late buying while Liverpool prices lagged. March offered 2 points higher but most months slipped 2 to 5 points amid liquidation. Absorption of offerings kept active months mildly up then steady with a firm tone and middling at 13 10-100 cents.
New Orleans March 10. Cotton opened steady 2 to 5 points down due to weak cables and warm weather. First prices were the lowest of the day as shorts covered, then bids turned 1 to 2 points above yesterday's close. At noon the market stood steady with a net 1 to 2 point gain and middling at 12 3/4 cents.
