COTTON RALLIES
 AFTER MANY DAYS New Low Records Are Touched and Then Prices Advance MARKET SEEMS STRONGER eearish Foreign News and General h. difference Put Market Lower and

 Buying Orders.
MARKET SEEMS STRONGER

New York, March 25,-After making new low records during the early session the cotton market had quite a sharp rally, closing very steady at net advance of ' to 12 points on old crop months, but at decline of 5 to 6 points on new crop contracts. Sales were estimated at 35o,- GOO bales
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of points to decline of points, near months being higher in response to cables, while new crop positions were lower under realizing and better weather reports.
 Shortly after the opening the entire list weakened under bear pressure and liqui- dation. The decline into new low ground caught considerable stop loss orders, which hurried the decline to a total of Il to 12 points. At this level the pressure of long cotton subsided and after a rather quiet and irregular period around midday the market rallied very sharply on GOV erlng of nearby shorts, who found very little cotton for sale and who may have been influenced also by reports of greater f1rmness of the interior markets. May sod up to 9.6Sc and July to 9.61c and these positions closed within a point of the best The new crop months were rela- lively quiet and easy and at the best point were only point or two over the clos ing figures of yesterday, while at the close they were off from the best under liquidation. Southern spot markets offi- cially reported were unchanged to Is of cent lower. Predictions for in- creased receipts as a result of recent weakness are not realized and receipts continue very light.
 Receipts at the ports today, 16,699 bales against 16,733 last week and 27,2l0 last year. For the week, S5.O0O bales. against 92997 last week and 147046 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans 63S5 against 1o.561 last year and at Houston 1928, against 52S1 last year.

BULLS IN CHARGE
 OF STOCK MARKET Bears Have Apparently Taken
 To the Woods PRICES STILL CLIMBING
PRICES STILL CLIMBING
Publication of the Presidents Message Had No Effect Upon the Market. Reaction Looked For Since
 Advance Is So Great.

New York, March 25.-The support of prices which was still in evidence today showed signs of strain and there was a disposition towards reaction. This oc- cured without any change in character of the news, although there was the in- evitable change in the way of looking at the news which always comes to those active in the stock market. The action of today's market left the inference that the increase in the outside demand for stocks yesterday, which was beyond dis Iute, was taken advantage of to sell stocks on a large scale by those who had accumulated holdings at previous lower levels.
 The expansion in volume of yesterday s market was suggestive also of the carry ing out of measures to secure profits. Prices touched at the extreme of the ad- vance yesterday were the highest in many instances since the depression of last October. These technical signs of the continuation of an advance made the pro- fessiopal element suspicious of the mar ket today and this feeling was added to by the obvious shift in the speculative activity for the rise to the department of lower prices for stocks, especially in the industrial class.
 The tone of the high-priced railroad stocks today, throughout the notable ad- vances in issues of lower grades, pointed rather to such a process The Issuance of the Presidents special message to Con gress marks the limit of influence of that event as a purely speculative factor. A large part of the activity in stocks for over a week past has been connected with the constant reports emanating from Washington of the preparations for this document. With the delivery an accom- plished fact nothing remains for eonjec- ture, which is the meat of speculation. Some aggravation of the reactionary tendency was caused by the report of the probable calling of an extra session or the Minnesota state legislature to attempt a correction of the faults found by the United States supreme court in Its rall- road rate law.
 In the industrial section of the stock list there were some striking movements, the further rise in Consolidated Gas be-

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York. March 25.-(special)- After the break at the opening, due to reports in Liverpool of some trou- ble in New York, the market showed the absence of the same pressure which has brought about the sharp decline of the past 10 days. It was believed that the liquidation of the holdings of the concentrated long interest were llquidated yesterday and that belief be- came conviction about noon when tue market began to assume a normal tone and slowly recovered to the close, which was at the best prices. A period of convalescence must be passed through before the further tendency can be foreshadowed. but 1t is evident from the advices from Europe that tic merchants there are supposed to con sder that the decline Is about over unless some new factors not now ap- parent are brought forward.

ing based upon the effects attributed to tfre supreme court decisions on the com pany's contention against efforts to re- strict It's rates for gas. The maintenance of the American Locomotive dividend helped another group of industrials. The electrical industria1s had the advantage of reports of reviving activity in the demand for their products.
 Statements of earnings of the Wander blt roads for January are of interest for the effects shown from retrenchment of operating expenses, which was not suf- ficient, however, to prevent continued shrinkage in the net return. A harden ing of money rates abroad was an inci- dent of the day. Interest rates here, however, continued to yield and increas- ing difficulty is found in placing large sums on time. The stock market was relieved by the extent of the profit-talxing emected during the day which opened the way to some recovery in the latter part of the day.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, s, ,446000.
 United States 4s advanced 1a per cent on call.

Dry ds.

New York, March 25.-The dry goods market was quiet today. The retail trade was a little more active. Jobbers f.re doing only small filling-in busi- ness. Some improvement was noted In the primary markets, but 1t promised little in the way of active trade. Job bers are asking for samples of un- derwear and hosiery for salesmen on the road and 1t Is a new movement that gained unusual headway because of the willingness of mills to do busi- ness anyway they can. The cotton yarn market continues weak, and in active. Silk piece goods are very quiet in the primary markets.

 Futures opened steady l point above to 1 point below the close yesterday, in spite of favorable Liverpool. The mar lset eased off following the opening, fav- orable weather reports from points where the new crop can be benefited serving as a bearish feature During the late ses- sion report that there was some prob ability of a cold wave developing in the southwestern portion of the belt acted as a bullish feature and helped to bring prices back up to better levels.
