THE DEMAND FOR
 STOCKS WAS LIGHT Market Was Largelyi in Hands of
 Professionals. EFFECT OF CURRENCY LAW Rates for Money Were Firmly Held but Bankers Were Eager to Place
 Loans for the Longer Periods.
EFFECT OF CURRENCY LAW

New York, March 14.-Today's stock market was largely in professional hands, and trading was eongested in the special ties again The professional contingent who have bought stocks to discount the en- actment of the currency law sold today to realize. Pressure from this source was not heavy, but the demand for stocks was so light that the drfbbling offerings made steady inroads upon prices carrying a few of the standard railroad stocks off point during the course of the late trading. The movement of prices in the specialties was wide, due to special causes. Sugar was sold from Boston, where offers were made for the dividend below the one-half per cent rate last December on large amounts of stock.
 Today's rates for money were firmly held, but bankers were eager to place loans for the longer periods, while borrowers wero unwilling to bid for any but short time loans, clearly refecttng the expectation of easier conditions near at hand. February records of exports of merchandise attracted attention going far to explain the re- cent heaviness of sterling in face of the large demands upon the market, and as promising to make the current fiscal year record one in the country's trade. Buy ing of bonds continued on a large scale at advancing prices. Total sales, par value, $S,035, 1000.

Hn,v toDetecl F .resis

Lawyers and 1oungers in the supreme court are testing themselves for paresls these days. Tn the course of suit against Ex-overnor Waller, of Connecticut, and Alfred R. Page, lawyer, to recover s5,0eQi worth of property, counsel for the sefense mentioned some of the common symptoms of paresis and explained how the tests can be applied. For instance, if the pupil of one eye is larger than that of the other it is a bad sign Cross your legs % that the crook of one leg fits over the knee Of the other, and hit the upper leg sharply just below the kneecap. If the leg flies up you are all right! If 1t does not beware! Stand up perfectly straight, with your feet close together. and look at point ten feet away. If you sway from side to side you are in a. bad way. Still another test is to stand on one foot, with the other leg bent at the knee. If you can stand perfectly still for five seconds without dropping the raised leg you are probably sound since

COTTON MARKET
 QUITE STEADY Became Weak but Soon Turned
 Firm Again. CLOSED AT A NET ADVANCE A Few Traders Were Conspicuously Active With the Rank and File ot Spectators Following
 in Their Wake.
CLOSED AT A NET ADVANCE

New York, March 14.-After opening steady at unchanged prices to an advance of three points the cotton market lost the slight improvement, but soon turned firm on buying of May and August contracts by shorts. May and August were chiefly in demand. The early sellers were, for the most part, commission houses and brokers, but the latter soon became active buyers and showed every anxiety to protect sales made earlier. Prices maintained an upward course until the gain of yesterdays clos ing figures was from three to twenty-one points.
 The improvement was cheifly on old crop positions, one house being reported as a buyer of 5000 bales. While the new crop positions advanced to a partial extent, the improvement was reluctant, further ac- counts regarding the territory to be devoted to cotton being quite as beariSh as anything heretofore said The general market, how ever. remained quiet apart from such in- fiuences A few traders were conspicuous ly active all day with the rank and file following their lead The market at the close was steady at a net advance Of one to sixteen points.
 New York, March 14.-Cotton quiet; tone 9%c; net receipts, 756; gross, 2,227; sales, 1,0S5; stock, 15S, ,457; exports coastwise, 59O.
