NEW YORK, March 1S.-The opening of
this mornings market was awaited with an
unusual amount Of interest in Wall street
because it was expected that today would
settle in some way easily understood the
outcome of the stirring events of last week.
The rise on Friday and Saturday that
followed the violent breaks of the two days
preceding, while in itself a guarantee that
the worst had passed, nevertheless furnish
ed no conclusive proof that quiet was to be
restored to the market.
Over Sunday there had been no news to
Indicate that disturbing causes Of the break
had been eliminated. The silent panic is
as yet unexplained, and for all that traders
or the general public know to the con-
trary may return. In the absence of any
news the street was uneasy. Then, too
there was general feeling that the sud-
den rise over Friday, unchecked as it was
by any normal reaction on Saturday, but
rather aggravated, left the market in an
unhealthy condition. The rapidity of the re-
covery argued for it's essential unsound-
ness.
great deal of disappointment was felt
over the failure of the President to make
public his views on the railroad legislation
question. which, 1t was said, he had formu-
lated some weeks ago. Certainly, on the
disgust with which his action in this con-
nection Is viewed rests much of the public
lack Of confidence in investment securi-
ties, and brokers declare quite generally
that until it Is made plain just what relief
the administration purposes to give against
the harassing railroad laws of the several
states the public will stay out of the securi-
ties market and investments will go with
out purchasers.
The opening Of the market brought no
surprises, in that losses from Saturdays
close of from one to three points were re-
corded by all the more prominent issues.
This was in partial reflection of London.
where Americans were very weak on SELL
ing from New York and local liquidation
But mainly the declines may be ascribed to
a natural reaction from the rapid recovery
of Friday and Saturday.
The tone of the market was at first I'M
settled; brisk trading brought about initial
advances and later inconsderable declines.
till. about noon, when almost all losses had
been recovered, dullness set in At that
time the list even showed some advances
that did much to overcome the declines
over Sunday.

THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at decline of GAG points
in response to lower cables and good
weather over the week end. Trading was
only moderately active but the relative
firmness of May option caused some cover
ing, on which the market ruled pretty
steady during the early session. Receipts
continued full. but seemed to be bringing
little pressure against the various spot mar
kets. While the late months sold to a net
loss Of about points during the middle Of
the morning, under bear pressure and liqui-
dalton, May was only points net lower,
and sold l point above July.
