the prospect may be different. At the

on every advance in August seems to be
the right policy AS the situation is a
strong one, we would avoid selling on

August cotton would seem to be high at

short side in August on every good bulge

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 16.-The feeling of
encouragement professed on Saturday
over the money situation as indicated by
the bank statement was dissipated today.
When call money rose to { per cent, the
discouraged bulls began to throw over
stools end there was evidence of consid-
cradle liquidation by tired holders.
Prices went down very easily and there
vas no appearance of effective support
until sudden upward squirt in Southern
Pacific during the last half hour The
marking up of this stock to GO was so
characteristic of the drastic speculative
method of the manager of the pool in
Southern Pacific that the shorts took
fright and covered hastily in various
parts of the market Union Pacific
shared in the late rally as Southern Pa
cific had done in the weakness. There
was a manifest embarrassment in the
supposed efforts which were making all
day to depress Union Pacific and support
Southern Pacific. The holding of the vot-
ing on the strike question on the part of
the employees of the New Haven system
served TO keep alive the labor question
in the mind OF the speculative public
The position for New York to provide its
own street lighting plant caused further
sharp losses in the local gas stocks

prices and some progress was made in

New York, March 16.-The market is
very much quieter today and the prln-
cipal feature was the transferring of
May contracts into July supposed to be
for the account of the New England pool.
AS we have pointed out some time ago,
it is evidently not their intention to at
tempt to corner any particular month,
and they now seem to be trying to switch
their interests from the high priced
month over into July at discount Of
$l00 per bale.
They also bought some August futures
at a still further discount. The mar
kct is practically in the same position
that it was when May cotton sold around
81 for a week. A large short interest
exists and when it starts to cover. prices
will probably advance very rapidly.
