WALL STREET REVIEW
MONEY OUTLOOK WAS THE DOMI-
 MATING INFLUENCE.
Days Movements Showed Average Downward Tendency-Industrial Furnished Large Record of
 Advances.

New York March 1.-The money outlook was the dominant influence on stocks today and the days price move ment was downwards on the average. The industrial stocks and specialties were quite sharply divergent from the railroad list and furnished quite large record of advances. This class of securities is largely dependent on factors of individual effect, being less responsive to general developments than the railroad list. A common property interests might be tracked in some of the stocks which advanced and 1t was assumed that pools were at work In them. The copper stocks and the railroad equipments had some share in the show of strength. On the other hand the heaviness in the railroad list was quite general. although the move irregular. Prices touched a considera- bly lower level however. than yester- day. It was supposed that pools and speculative syndicates were unloading to a considerable extent and there was no doubt that the money outlook was the principal motive for this action. This was a sentimental influence to some extent, as there was very little withdrawal of credits by calling loans according to the reports of money brokers. There was, however. quite large paying off of loans on call. which followed the precautionary liquidation of stocks It was said that a con- siderable part of the call loans paid off new loans on time. Operators in stocks hitherto have refrained from taking out time loans even at the in- vitingly low level of rates. being satis- fled to rely on day to day accommoda- tions. The importance attached to the conditions in the money market was emphasized by the increased weakness developed after the appearance of pre- liminary estimates of the weeks cur rncy movement. In addition to the $9.319,0 900 taken by the sub-treasury up to Thursday evening on account of the repayment of government deposits 1t is estimated that nearly a million dollars has gone to- the interior on the export movement. The apparent loss in cash of over S10,000,000 Is in excess of the surplus reserve as it stood in last weeks bank statement. The integrity of the surplus is therefore dependent on the reduction of the deposits by loan contraction. It Is known that the trust higher rates for money. and foreign banking houses have also placed loans here. their sales of finance bills in the exchange market helping to weaken item of the banks in tomorrow's state ment is therefore a probability. A feature of the day was the renewal of the demand for gold from France which made itself felt in London. This gave rise to renewed conjectures re- garding a Russian loan and was the cause of some uneasiness over possible disturbances .n France. This con- tributed to the growing weakness of the later stock market. During the same period loans fell to 2 per cent. The market closed weak at about the lowest. Bonds were easy. Total sales par value $3,6S5,007. United States bonrs were all unchanged on call

opening Was Quiet at an Advance but Prices Were Soon Thereafter
 Forced Downward to Small Net Loss.

New York, March 1.-The cotton market was moderately active and quito irregular. The opening was quiet at an advance of 2 points to de- cline of 3 points. This was about as
 due on the cables, but there was con Gfderable cotton for sale through wire and commission houses and shortly after the call prices were forced down to q net loss of to 4 points on the ncfiye months. There was good buy inw on the decline. Large local opera tors appeared to be supporting the
 market and 1t was said that the Wall Street bull clique was scalptng the
 market on a large scale on the long side. At any rate prices worked slowly up until around midday they were [ to 10 points higher. At this level or around 792 for May, selling orders in creased owing to profit taking by early buyere and with some reports claiming m easier spot situation in the South
 there was 8 reaction to about the clos 1ng figures of the previous day. Fol lowing this the market again rallied to about the previous high point of the day, but eased off again just before the close under realizing. The close was barely steady at a net decline of to 4 points Sales were estimated at 3O0,- 900 bales.

 c. E. Pierce & Co.'S Cotton Letter. (By private wire from Gilbert Ciay)
 New Orleans March 17.-The local in- terest in the Liverpool market is be, lieved to be long, doubtless influenced by the encouraging news from Man CHeSteT where clOtnS ana ydi HS ui o strong and a, continuance of an excited demand prevails. Values of raw ma terial. however, are closely adjusted to those set in the cis-Atlantic mar kets. Selling by importers caused a slight early depression, but at the close options were only one point lower than yesterday. Spots. on sales of 1o.- 900 bales lost three points.
 Our opening was rather dull with prices practically unchanged, but as the day passed fair improvement was ob- served. About the only inducement to buy was the known active inquiry for spots, although there were also rumors of additional buying by the bull clique in New York, but if true, 1t was of tentative character and far from az gressive. American mills are now re- ceiving their full quota of the worlds demand for goods. recent advices from Fall River denote most satisfactory business. Week end statistics reflect the influence of better prices. little more could be expected in the size of the movement. The total in sight to date exceeds the total crop of last year by more than 100000 bales, and, although five and half months move- ment is yet to be added. the belief in an enormous consumption Is so strong that no depression follows At present the market offers nothing more than scaIping opportunities, and pending some new development with little pre- ference of sides.

Loveman & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

(By private wire from H. B. Beer.)
 New Orleans, March 1.-The volume of trading was on a smaller scale today but values ruled very steady through out the session, at one time selling 13 points higher than last nights closing, May advancing to 7.0b. Advices from Texas say that the new crop is being further retarded by rains. The move ment was heavy, but is being offset by large clearances for Europe. which serves to keep port stocks at low ebb. and longs in good spirits. Liver pool was somewhat better than looked for. closing at a decline of about one point on futures and at loss of three points on spots, sales 10000 bales {; mfddling 4.31. Reports from Man chester were conflicting, one cable stated that the excitement still prevails, while another cable expressed the be- Opinions from New York were general ly of bullish character. Local traders were inclined to await develop ments, there being little doing in spots. The movement for the week was in keeping with expectations, 212,0O0 against 11S,000 last year, thus far this month 530,000 compared with 294,0O0 since September 1st, 10,136,000 last year 102,000. The weeks movement at Bombay was heavy also 10,00O last year 71.000, since September 1st, 1,484.- 900 against 1,226.oOo. We are between StdSOHS HOW anu QeNelOpmentS Tn preparations for the new crop and marketing the old crop will be the at tractive features hereafter. The late ness of the spring has attracted atten- tion already and while the movement of cotton to market has ben heavy it seems to have been too light for ex- port demand and to add to port stocks. There Is every probability of receipts continuing comparatively heavy during remainder of the season, and as ex- ports to Europe by end of March will be about 250,000 more than what was exported during whole of last season
 forward shipments are likely to dimin- ish and stocks to accumulate after this month. Spinner's takings of this week were only 203.OOO and as trade condi- tions are ever so much better this year
 longs are counting on large weekly talk ings balance of the year when compar- ed with takings of one year ago.
