NEW YORK COTTON MARKET


New York. March 29.-The market
for cotton was nervous. irregular and
generally weak to-day. Opening with
prices l point higher to 3 points lower,
selling movement suddenly develop
ed with but little resistance until the
attention of sellers was attracted to
the less favorable character OF the re-
ports from the South respecting the
status of the new crop. These reports,
while somewhat conflicting, told OF late
planting and unsatisfactory germina-
ton for the more southerly localities.
with practically no planting as yet,
was reported for tho Atlantic terri
tory. y good dealof cotton had lately
sold upon the basis OF heavy acreage.
This led TO caution. However the gen
cral market showed 4 weak undertone
throughout the session. The English
decline was attributed by private ca
bies chiefly to bearish crop accounts
from this side.
The local market was almost entire
~ leaking in outside support and de-
pended on covering by shorts for bust
ness. Public cables, noting IL further

ing the opening cali the market broke
sharply. There was general and heavy
selling in the afternoon. which in
creased the decline to 70S points and
closed steady at the lowest point.

REVIEW OF MARKETS
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks, Honey, Exchange, Bonds. Grain,
Cotton, Provisions. Etc.

New York, March 29.-The Stock EX-
change atmosphere was rather oppres-
sivc during to-day's session, and the
Offerings to take profits were absorbed
With less facility Than on previous days
during this week. No better eXplanl-
ton of the rcactionary tendency of the
market can be found than the falling
off in the demand for stocks. There
was some manipulation for the de-
cline, which was effective among the
industrials and specalties, and which
brought out Il volume of offerings that
locked like the uncovering Of stop loss
orders. But in the railroad list there
was no Indication OF forced selling.
The protit-tailing proceeded appar-
emily In an orderly manner, and any
considerable recession in prices led 10
decline in the volume of Offering and
dull market. Stocks, which had gone
UP the most during the week. were nat
urally most affected notably the trans
continental railways and the Southern
trunk lines. There was some indication
of positive weakness in some of the
Changers and the coalcrs. the tendency
In The latter group being due to the
rather disappointing February state
ment of net earnings for the Reading
company. There were not lacking also
points of strength in the railroad list
The most notable upward movement of
the day was in stocks of railroads in
central traffic territory, and what
might be called subsidiary Vanderbilt
lines. &. G. c. Il st. Louis led the
movement, and it was shared In by
Chesapeake and Ohio. Pittsburg and
st. Louis, Canada southern and the
New York. Chicago anu st. Louis
stocks
The preferred ground of this advance
was a conference of railroad officials in
this city looking TO the enforcement OF
agreements to maintain rates. The
Atchison stocks Louisville and Nash
Vile and some other less Conspicuous
stocks continued strong. Aside from
the desire TO take profit, the halt in the
buying demand was due to unprehen-
sion over the effect of the gloomy off,
cial outGivings regarding the prospect
for future dividends on the stock of the
sugar company. y sharp break in that
stock 1T the opening seemed to have little
effecton themarkct, but when its weak
ness was seen to persist sympathetic
hearings developed elsewhere in the in
duStrial list, and among the local trac-
ton stocks.
There was no indication OF stiffness
IN the money market, but probably the
relaxed demand for speculative pur-
poses had something to do with this
London continued to trade actively In
this market, but with much less innu-
ence on sentiment than heretofore
