COTTON MARKET
 OFFERS SURPRISE
SHORTS PUT ON THE RUN AT NEW ORLEANS BY BULLISH WEEKLY
 STATISTICS, AND PRICES SOAR.

New York, March 1.-The cotton mar kets offered a surprise to the trade in general today. Yesterday bears were espe- eially confident that today would see a slump and even the bulls were of the opinion that weekend liquidation would ease prices off. Liverpool cables were too bul1sh to allow much of decline and the heavy spot trading across the water gave the local market strong undertone throughout the session.
 At the opening the tone was called steady and rices of May and July were and points higher than yesterdays close. Longs were encouraged to fresh buying by the heavy spot trading in the Liverpool market, and shorts covered freely. This more than offset the profit taking by longs. At one time in the early hours, shorts were put on the run by the bullish weekly statistics, and their buying sent prices up until May and July were IT and 19 points higher than yesterdays s close. It is generally conceded that shorts have covered heavily from the middle of the week. and that their buying has been one of the main causes of the wide ad- vance.

DUN's REVIEW.

New York, March 11.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 More seasonable weather has brought in- creased activity in business, normal con ditions existing for the first time this year at many points Collections are also im- proving and structural operations revive with the higher temperature. There has been great damage from floods. Manufac- turing returns are favorable as to steel and footwear, but textile mills are not active, and further curtailment of cotton spinning Is probable. Settlement of sever al labor controversies Is complicated by new strikes. and soft coal miners have not reached an agreement with the operators Further delay has occurred for the iron ore schedule. upon which another confer ence will be held April 1. Traffic conges- ton Is still very bad at some points, but on the whole, the situation has improved, and railway earnings for February were only ' per cent less than last year. There is much encouragement in the pig iron statistics just issued by the Iron Age. Thus far the revival has been accomplish ed without much help from the railways. which are not placing large orders. ai- though new business of this character is in prospect.
 The percentage of idle machinery stead fly decreases and conditions are not only much better than seemed possible when the year opened, but some reports state that the outlook Is brighter than at any time since last spring. The only disturb ing element pertains to fuel. Movement of coal is retarded by inadequate facilities.
 Domestic hides are steadier while for- eign dry hides continue strong. Leather is quiet and weakness has developed in some sections of the market. Retailers

The Life Guards are two regiments of cavalry forming part of the British house. hold troops. They are gallant soldiers
 and every loyal British heart is proud of them. Not only the kings household, but yours, ours, everybody's should have its life guards. The need of them is es- pecially great when the greatest foes of life, diseases. find allies in the very ele- ments as colds, influenza, catarrh, the grip, and pneumonia do in the stormy month of March. The best way that we know of to guard against these diseases Is to strengthen the system with Hoods saparilla-the greatest of all life guards. It removes the conditions in which these diseases make their most successful attack gives vigor and tone to all the vital organs and functions. and imrarts a genial warmth to the blood

 The progress of the season has appar- ently helped the iron and steel markets Increased activity and firmer prices are noted for the oruder forms, continuing the buying by large interests last week. Finished products are also more active and increased business is, reported The situation in iron and steel pipe, wire wire nails and structural iron Is reported a strong one at Pittsburg. Practically the same report comes from Chicago. From all over the country come reports of special activity among agricultural imple- ment concerns. Reports that the car short age limits the ability of shippers to sup ply increased demands for coke.
 disturbing feature in the iron situa- ton, is, however, the fact that in the absence of any agreement as to this years prices, independent iron ore pro- ducers are offering their product 50 cents to $1 below last years quotation. The eastern shoe and leather trade has shown only normal activity. Lumber is quiet at most eastern points, but Baltimore is buying largely.
