The market opened with prices unchanged for all deliveries as #101 compared with Friday's closing quotations.
Reflecting advices received from London and New York the mar- ket ruled quiet throughout the session. Only a moderate demand for "actuals" by consuming interests was in evidence, whilst dealers and speculators were disinclined to operate either way.
Toward the close of the session prices* declined by 1/8 cent for all deliveries, the market closing, however, with a steadier undertone. It would appear that the market is awaiting the announcement of consumption-figures for February, which are variously estimated as from 40,000 to 43,000 tons. Overnight cables from USA report- ing on a further substantial increase of Motor-car production for thia week would seem to indicate a continuance of fair consump- flon-outlook..

NEW YORK COTTON
A very quiet market, with price movements extremely narrow, early in the session. Subsequently, values eased on liquidation and South selling. This was induced by uncertainty in connexion with Washington developments regarding the cotton programme.
NEW YORK RUBBER
A stangnant and featureless market, with very litle business passing At the close, the tendency was quietly steady.
CHICAGO WHEAT
..
The market continued steady, due to higher Liverpool cables.
There was some covering by short interests. Trading, on the whole, was very quiet.
