COTTON MARKET
 ON THE UPCRADE. May Contracts Increase Pre-
 mium Over July STATISTICS ARE BULLISH
Rumors Are Circulated That the Bull Clique is Planning a Corner on March and May Deliveries
 Which Causes Strength.

New York, March 2-The feature of to- days cotton market was the strength of May contracts, which increased their premium over July from 15 to 26 points. The close was firm on May and steady on other positions at a net advance of II 10 "A points. Sales were estimated at 2OO.0Oo bales. The market opened steady at an advance of to 12 points. and before the advance was checked sold 12 to 16 points net higher on old crop months as a re- suit of covering and local bull support which was encouraged by firmer ca ables. larger English spot sales and the buIlish construction placed on Saturdays visible supply statement. At the advance offer ings increased and prices eased off or 6 points from the top under realizing and selling by local bears. There was a con tinued good demand, however. and after some little irregularity the market firmed up again on rumors concerning the in- tentions of the new bull clique with ref erence to March and May contracts, and the extent Of the short interest in those denverles. The close was within point or two of the top. Southern spot markets were generally unchanged. Exports ex- ceeded port receipts for the day by a con siderable margin, and the interior move- ment continued light. Some England ad- vices reported a better demand for goods and claimed that the spinners were better buyers of spot cotton

 Narrow Market.
OFFERINGS VERY LIGHT

New York, March 2.-The slender aggre- gate of business in stocks today was most of it completed during the first hours session of the stock exchange. When operators short of stocks attempted to cover on what they conceived to be un- favorable developments they found no of- ferings coming out. Their buying opera tions consequently, advanced prices. Rail- road traffic officials, however, spoke III less hopeful strain over future indications for business than has been the rule with them even through the worst of the de- presson Railroad earnings reported showed the heavy inroads resulting from the depression, but the item of operating expenses also begins to show the enects of retrenchment measures The gross de- crease of Pennsylvania lines directly op- erated of over S2,0OO,O GOO for January was held down to a decrease of s666,S00 in the net. Even the Southern railway system, considered to be at an advantage In its opportunities for retrenchment, shows a net decrease for January of only S23O 5S4, where the decline in gross earnings ran to s669, ,o24, This tendency was regard- ed as of favorable augury for security holders.
 Reports of drastic measures of curta!i- ment of expenses on the Gould system however, did not prevent renewed evil dence of weakness in some of that group. The report that the railroads generally had agreed with the interstate commerce commission to conform without further delay to the requirements of the nine hour law for telegrdphers was received with interest in the same connection.
 The time money market here showed an easier tendency and foreign money rates declined.
 Bonds were dull and irregular. Total sales, par value s1,710000.
