STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 24-The stock mark
ct made no Roadway to-day against the
discouragement of holders of securities
and was weak from start to finish, with
only a difference in the degree of weak
ness from time to time. There was u
sharp break in prices at the opening
due to the unloading of stocks in blocks
as a result of selling orders over night
After that there was some pause in the
downward movement, but at the closing
the selling movement had become very
active again and prices ended the day at
the lowest, and on a rapidly declining
scale The principal cause OF the feel
ing of dscoura cement was the lack OF
promise of an amelioration of money
conditions. Apparently the interior is
making renewed demand upon New York
for funds. now that the attractive high
money rates are not fully maintained

has slipped back TO par. Bankers in
New York express the opinion that the
West has its own uses for money and is
likely to continue to have. Very actiN c
business, enormous holdings of grain due
to the delayed movement. an active
speculation in the corn market and the
Western land speculations are all cited
as elements of this demand. The hope
of a spring rehux Of funds to New York

New York, March 24.-Our regular
weekly mail from Manchester and Liv-
erpool to-day refers in the main to the
shortage in the Asiatic cotton crop
which is conservatiyely estimated at
100000 bales This means that Russians
will draw this quantity of cotton from
Europe. Our Texas advices indicate an
active demand for spot cotton. with buy

ment. The largest exporting house in
the trade bought 1900 bales of spot cot
ton in Meridian. Mississippi, yesterday or
basis of 1014 cents at the seaboard
The exports to-day were three times as
much as the port receipts. To date, the
exports are nearly 200,0 900 bales in ex-
cess of last year, regardless of any pool
manipulation it looks as if cotton will
corner itself before August. but 1t is
also to be noted that Mr.. Sully to-day
advanced May cotton from $50 to 1G
cents on the purchase of few hundred
bales. May cotton is concentrated in a

Especial to News and Observer
New York March 24.-It was about as
hard to tell why cotton went up today as
to assign reasons for the decline yester-
day. All of which tends to show the pc
culiar situation in which we are placed
and the difficulties in the way of eX-
pressing an opinion while. Some
of the best traders on the floor are un~
willing to advise their people one way
or the other One trader said today:
my advice is to avoid danger" The
position Is a strong one, that is beyond
question. The May people hold some
$50 600 to 200, 900 bales of cotton. We
want to know what shorts are going to
do to get this cotton If receipts are
big that is different proposition. But
at the interior yesterday stocks lost 5000
bales over last year. We can't get cot
ton to bring to New York under such con-
ditions as these. If the May people
really hold as much as this who is short
In January one OF the largest houses in
the world was short of January and long
of March and May at the big discount.
This firm knew what they were doing and
wheer they could get the cotton. This
same firm is long some March and lot
of July. If this big short interest is
made up of speculative people. we are
afraid of the market AS long as cotton
fails to come in in larger quantities we
are not inclided to advise selling. There
are also lats of things to be said against
buying cotton eW want to be able to
sell August and stand on it, but the
time hardly seems to be ripe for that
yet. It is perfectly possible that the
May people may raise trouble in the mar
ket. If they can hold on to their cotton
and weather reaction they could easily
send prices to II or even II cents a
pound. We saw January sell at 12%c
two years with any amount of cotton in
the country. What may not take place
with the smallest supply in years?
Cotton futures today ranged as fol-

New York, March 24.--The cotton

Discussion Of Novelties for
W0menS' We.r

New York, Jan. 1.-THE fashion
able girl of spring will be a composite
creature She will be severe, but fem
mime; simple, but elegant; her gowns
will reveal the most delightful color
schemes, but at all times will they be
harmonious. Her individual tastes
will find expression in her gowns, and
everything that she wears will empha-
size her originality
The spring novelties which now oc.
cupy the places of honor in the shops,
having relegated winter fabrics TO the
bargain counters, are not necessarily
expensive, though there are instances
in which one might run the limit of
extravaganza. Happily dress, which
for many years raised a sharply ac-
cenuated dividing line between the
rich and the poor, has today leveled
all class lines, and some of the most
beautiful materials are so cheap that
they are easily within the reach of the
woman with a limited dress allowance.
For instance, among the smartest
fabrics in which the newest shirt
waists appear are mercerzed cotton,
Madras. chambray, batiste, linon,
null lawn and Nainsook Rayee,
which. by the way, is no more or less
than a linen-Rnished cotton fabric
with a high.soundlng name.
The spring shirt waist, while it says
over the belt at the front, shows a
square rather than the rounded out
line of previous years. This is a
French idea. which will no doubt be-
come very popular in America, es-
pecially with slender graceful wo-
men.
The shirt waist suit which appeals
principally to women whose mornings
are devoted to shopping is diversified
this season by few touches of color.
An especially chic design is carried
out in gobelin blue foulard embroid-
cred in old rose and Nile green silk.
The blouse waists close with an in
verted box-plait. and has two narrow
plaits at the shoulders, which inter
mingle gracefully with the folds of
the blouse-effect at the end of the
stitching, The sleeves are in bishop
pattern, and have an inverted box.
