COTTON MARKET
 VERY INACTIVE Fluctuations Are Narrow And No Advance Is Made BULLS OFFER SUPPORT Lack of Rain In Oklahoma and Texas Is Still the Most Prominent Fac tor In Preventing a Decline
 In Prices.
 
BULLS OFFER SUPPORT

New York, March 10.-Todays cotton market was very quiet with fluctuations morrow and the close steady, net 1 point higher to p<.nts lower.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to a decline of ? points, which was about as due on the cables, but offerings were light and right after the call the market steadied up to net adance of about 1Q2 points on active months as a result of scattered covering and a little support from bullish sources. Buying was probably promoted by the forecast calling for clear weather in Texas tonight and tomorrow, with the excep- ton of possible snow fiurries in the Pan- handle, and by the weather bureau de- tails of precipitation in Texas and Okla homa for the 24 hours ending at o'clock on Tuesday morning showing rainfall of only .02 to .52 inches at the various sta- tons, which was not sufficient to modi- fly sentiment regarding the drouth situa- tion. After the advance to s.51c for May and 9.SOc for October, the market eased off, however, owing to the absence of sus- tained support and during the afternoon turned rather easier on reports from Liv- erpool that a movement was on foot to curtail the production of mills working on American cotton two days per week until Whitsuntide. At one time prices showed a net loss of 2Q4 points, but closed up from the lowest on renewed covering. Southern spot markets officially reported early were generally unchanged Sales of futures in the local market were es- tmated at about 100000 bales.

WHEAT MARKET IS
 AGAIN VERY WEAK
Poor Demand And Good Wealth.
 CT Depress Prices
SELLING IS PERSISTENT
Corn Makes a Backward Turn and Loses About One Cent In Price for the Day-oats and Provi-
 sions Close Weak.

Chicago, March 10-slack demand for the cash grain in the southwest and fav- orapie weather for the fall-sown crop in- splred liberal realizing in the wheat mar ket today which resulted in a weak close hnal quotations showing losses of skc to 1sale, compared with the previous close. Corn, oats and provisions also closed weak.
 There was no such action in the wheat prices as during the few previous days, but the turns were sufficiently sharp to Keep the trade on the alert. During the day May sold between s1.14ss and $1 151b, and July ranged between $1 .027s and s1 .O4. Pit traders who attempted to raid the market or who sold on soft spots were forced to cover on support by bull lead CTS, but commission houses were persis- tent sellers all day, and this led many to believe that the big holders were selling under cover. One of the principal factors today was the weather in the southwest. Rains or snow reported over a large sec- tion of the winter wheat belt and more was predicted. The almost total absence of demand for cash wheat at Kansas City and St. Louis also tended to depress the market During the final half hour realiz- ing sales predominated, and the market closed weak at almost the bottom. Final quotations on May were s1.14as and on July S1O2B@1 .03.
 Much of the ground gained by corn prices during yesterdays sharp bulge was lost today selling led by several of the prominent holders, The market closed weak at almost the lowest point, with May at 6Ssc and July at 672sc.
 There was not large trade in oats, and the market was weak all day. At the close prices were 1ae to 5sds4c below yes terday's final quotations, May being at 55Ac and July at 497sc.
 Provisions prices broke sharply as a re- suit of liberal realizing sales, final quo tations showing losses of f71hc to 20c, com pared with the previous close. Larger re- ceipts of live hogs and the belief that a reaction was due after the sharp advance of the past few days led many holders to take profits The slump In grain also bearishly affected the market.

STOCK MARKET IS

BEGINS EARLY
Prices Drag Along Through the ses- sion Till Late In the Day When Rally Ensues Which Fails
 To Hold.

New York, March 1O-The stock mar ket continues refractory to the efforts of professional operators to move it in either direction. The plain inference of course, Is that everybody concerned in the actual ownership and transfer of holdings of stocks is practically abstaining from op- erations. It is this condition of the mar ket which keeps it fluctuating with con- stant turns before the movement has pro- ceeded far in one direction. The pro- fessionals run to cover at the slightest sign of obstacles. The dealings today showed some slight increase of anil nation and the professional operators showed some daring in trying to extend the decline which was set in motion late yesterday. They had not much new ma terial to work with, even with the help of some manufactured additions includ- ing rumor of the death of the King of England.
 The growing ineffectiveness of the at- tempts to bring out liquidation by off, fering down prices took the courage out of the bear party and the latter part of the day was given over principally to
 
 morning. A leading incentive for the early selling was the belief that the monthly statistics of the Copper Pro- ducers association would reveal an addi- tional accumulation of unsold surplus. The publication of the figures confirmed the unfavorable forecasts, but prices of the copper industrials promptly advanced after they apneared
 An addition of over 29,O000 GOO pounds to the unsold stocks of refined copper in the United States Was shown as a result of operations in February, whereas the ad- dition during January was only 21,s00 pounds. With the recollection of claims made from time to time during Febru- ary of improving conditions in the trade, the official figures are calculated to cause suspicion of such claims. Nevertheless, an influence was produced by assertions that the February conditions have been improved by orders since the first of the month. The price of copper was marked down in London today.
 Other matters relied on by the bears to further their attack on prices include some revival of apprehension over condi- tons in the Balkans and 8 reflected de- pression on outside markets from the Paris bourse on account of the adoption of the French income tax. Some of the suppositions current as to the proposed changes in the import duties which are to be embodied in the new tariff bill were cited as harmful to prospects for values. These were accomplished by ntmations from some corporation managers that reduction of duties would necesstate re- duction of wages,
 An unfavorable impression was made by

Hubbard Bros. G Co.'s Letter.

New York, March 10.-(Special.)-An- other dull day with little change in prices, a somewhat disappointing decline in Liv- erpool, which was finally traced to the reported action of the Employers Feder- ation of Spinners in suggesting short time by closing on Saturday and Monday of each week.
 Our trade is indisposed to look for any decline from these prices, as it does not feel that the Texas situation Is as yet relieved by the recent light rain. Dealers prefer to buy and hold on the possibility of some accident to the growing crop which will prove present prices low. It is believed that large long interest ex- ists in the new crop on this idea.
 It represents the position of the visible supply which has been hedged in the dis tant deliveries on the idea that spinners would pay better premium than now ex- ists before the end of the season. Liver pool is expected to recover tomorrow.

the average decrease in gross earnings of railroads for the last week in F February, compared with last year, although allow ances must be made for an extra day for last year in the comparison, owing to the leap year. Some influence on the turn in the price movement was owing to the news of the acquittal of the Standard Oil company in the retrial of the suit which led to the $29, ,000 fine of the com pany.
