New York March AR. c. Dun & Co.'S
 weekly review of trade tomorrow will say
 Business continued to improve despite
 the. difficulty of low temperature and high prices. Weather conditions have
 been singularly unpropious, deep snow
 retardlng distribution of merchandise, and
 excessive cold delaying the opening of
 spring trade and structural work. Yet re-
 tailers are making extensive prepara-
 tions and plans are submitted for num-
 erous building operations. Reports from
 the south indicate exceptional prosper | ity.
 But rumors continue to arrive at the leading markets and the volume of trade
 is restricted by high prices, particularly for cotton goods. Railroad earnings for February were 2.2 per cent less than last year, bad weather restricting traffic. It
 may be said with some degree of assur-
 ance that the iron and steel industry has made further progress in the right direc- tion, and the prospect is brighter than 1t has been at any time during the winter. l Gains are small. 1t Is true, and there are several disturbing features, yet the pres ence of purchasers in all divisions of the market promises to restore activity.

WIDE ADVANCES
 ARE NOT REPEATED Group of Traders Has Another
 Disappointment OPENING TONE STEADY General Impression at New Orleans Was That Leading Interests Did Not Wish Further Advances
 for the Present.
OPENING TONE STEADY

New Orleans, March 1.-The course of the cotton market today offered another disappointment to those traders who are anxious for the wide advances of the boom to be repeated. At times prices reached levels well above yesterdays close, March and July at the highest point being IT and IS points up, but heavy re- alizing by longs and some hammering by bears always brought them down again, and they closed to points lower than yesterday.
 At the opening, the tone was called steady, and prices were 5 to 20 points down. The lower opening was caused by the decline in futures in the Liverpool market. \ good volume of buying orders

Market Somewhat Broader.

The market was somewhat broaded and had less of the professional look today than for several days past. It was also evident that the country was once more getting up its courage and was playing a stronger hand in the game. The stub bornness that prices showed at times to bring, weighted down heavily scalping op- erations on the short side, and it could hardly be called scalping market today as it has been all week. The close was steady and rather quiet. The liquidation continued up to the last gong, but on the curb prices were somewhat better, ad- vancing about 1 points in May and July. The new crop months attract but little attention during the day. the bulk Of trading being in May and July.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-03-05
Prices Shaved Down,

Liquidation then commenced and prices were immediately shaved down until they were 12 and 13 points lower than yes- terday's close. This happened a number of times during the day. Good advances were made to be offset by heavy selling. It was the general impression that the leading interests who practically control prices in the local market. did not wish to see further wide advances for the present, and that some of the selling came from them. This idea was based on the generally accepted fact that pre- sent prices will tend to stimulate exports while higher prices would not, and that therefore until a heavier movement of cotton from the port is seen the leading bulls are not anxious for much higher prices

Several smaller contracts were effected on the same basis bringing total sales to about 150.0O0 tons. : An abundance of buyers In the dry goods market failed to produce any large volume of business Recovery In the raw material corrected wheatever tendency there was last week to make concessions on forward business, and the average of cotton goods is at the highest point of the season.
 Naturally Checks Operations.
 This naturally checks operations for the future particularly in export trade, which is very dull. Domestic hides are weaker than Is expected by the seasonable deterf- oration in quality There Is less activity. New England shoe shops are shipping less freely and receiving fewer orders than a year ago.
 Failures this week in the United tSates are 238 against 240 last week. 2s7 the pre- ceding week and 229 the corresponding week last year. Failures in Canada num- Der 27 against 22 last week, 20 the pre- ceding week and 16 last year.
