SOME RECOVERY
 IN STOCK MARKET Uncertainty of Movement Is Shown In the Trading TOO MUCH IDLE MONEY NOW Capital Still Hesitates To Enter Upon New Investments and Conditions
 of Corporations Are Still
 Too Uncertain.
TOO MUCH IDLE MONEY NOW

New York March 19.-The remarkable feature of today's stock market was the entire confusion and uncertainty of its action, q reflection to some extent at least of the doubts felt over the actual progress which has been made toward betterment in affairs. The reduction yes- terday in the New York Central divi- dend rate served as a warming that If Improvement has set, in in the business affairs of the country there are conse- quences to stockholders of the business contraction which are yet to be faced. 1t is not that dividend reductions have not been expected, the course of prices showing clearly in many cases that re- duced dividends were taken for granted Today much attention was paid to evil dences of necessary cuts in the distribu- ton of profits. The most important in stance came from abroad, the Rio Tinto Mining company (copper) declaring only 40 shillings compared with 47 shillings, six pence, for the preceding distribution
 The response to ,ne reduction in the official discount rate of the Bank of Eng land from 91a to 3 per cent was suggestive also of uncertain speculative temper. Coupled with this prime index of de- clining money rates, and of-growing ac- emulation of idle money came the re- pert from the London market that half of the $10, 900 issue of Grand Trunk Pa- ciffc debentures remained in the hands of the underwriters.
 Some slight improvement in prices of seasoned high grade investment securl- ties comes from the easing of money rates, but capital still hesitates to em- bark in new issues. This same question lowered about the doors of the conference of steel and iron men in session today in New York. Demand for steel products from railroads halts disappointingly and the argument is heard amongst steel men against reduction of prices that it would prove unavailing to induce buying until the railroads find themselves able to float new securities and find means for purchases.
 The prospect of dividend reductions OH railroad stock promises to affect resources of other companies which hold the stocks in their treasures Union Pacitic's large holdings of stocks of other roads and its reliance on dividends from them to pay part of the dividend rates on its own stock made it conspicuous in the dis cussion of this matter.
 Speculative sentiment is sensitive still to the news from Washington of the eff forts to shape the legislative programme for the rest of the session of Congress especially as to action on the Sherman la in copper market and a rise here in the price of refined sugar were incidents of the day Further reduction in the

MAY SQDfGZ4 ETERS OUT
Pool That Field March and May op- tions Has Gradually Turned Loose Until There Is Nothing To
 Hold the Market Up.

New York, March 19.-The cotton mar ket was active today and during the early session showed some excitement, making new low records for the season under heavy liquidation. The close was steady at a net decline of 23 points to an advance of 8 points, the gains being shown by July and latter positions. Sales for the day were estimated at 450,00O bales.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of ? points to a decline of 4 points and seemed to do better owing to steady cables and encouraging reports from Manchester. It quickly weakened, however, when 1t was seen that leading longs were heavy sellers of the near months. The decline caught stop loss orders and selling became general. May sold off to 9.s9c or 23 points under the closing figures of the previous day record of the season, which was made during the financial panic last Octo- Der. At this level there was a good deal of covering on which the market stead jed with July and later months rul- ing relatively firm, and working over the closing figures of last night. May was selling on even terms with July at one time during the day; whereas, at the close yesterday May showed a prem inm of "A points. There was nothing in the days news that was considered an explanation of the sensational weak ness In the near positions which was con- sequently attributed to recent reports of weakness in southern spot markets. To- days advices from the eastern belt said that offerings were lighter. Southern spot markets officially reported were 1sc to Ac lower. The census report tomor- row is expected to show between Il 25o, 900 and 11,5o0, 900 bales, including linters.
 Receipts at the ports today, Il ,070 bales, against 16,159 last week and 24.s69 last year. For the week 100000 bales, against l10,749 last week and 1eS,7 765 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 2O4s bales. against 3697 last year, and at Houston, S671 bales, against 1923 last year.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'S Letter.

New York, March 19.-As a result of the heavy liquidation in March and May the latter month. lost it's premium over July. This was thought to mark the disruption of the squeeze in May which had been predicted for several months as not only possible but prob able. At the same time a much better demand appeared for the distant de- liverIes partly from spinners' brokers who had received orders from mills to fix prices on cotton which the mills called. These buyers absorbed the of ferings at an advance on July and all of the distant deliveries. This action on the part of spinners created a het- ter feeling than has existed for some time If the May pool has not liqui- dated the holders have caused many who were acting with them to do so. Liverpool cables late this afternoon state that better feeling led them to look for better market there tomor- row.

Dry Goods.

New York, March 19-The dry goods market shows a slight improvement in the inquiry for cotton goods, but the lit- tle business passing is being done at very low prices. Some of the leading lines of fiannelette for fall have been closely sold up Fine sheetings for late fall and spring are being ordered steadily. Cling hams and standard staple varieties are selling unordered in the leading mills. Jobbers report a steady trade, but in dividual purchases continue light. Mems wear is showing improvement in the de- mand for quick shipment, tailors to the trade being the most active buyers.
