DEMAND IS VERY LIGHT

New York; March 1.-The perplexities of the room traders were added to by the want of responsiveness in the stock mar ket today by any new developments. The room traders gave over their efforts as the day progressed and left the market a neglected and inert mass late in the day. Such spectacle of dulness is rarely wit messed on the New York stock exchange. It was supposed that the ending of the governments suit against the Standard Oil company would revive some animation in the market. Reasoning from the ex- treme perturbation of speculative senti- ment which followed the infiiction of the s29OO0,0OO fine of this company, the pro- fessionaI market operators expected some inflow of buying orders to follow the ac- quittal of the company. They bought a few stocks late yesterday, expecting to sell at higher prices to buyers who might be attracted today by the Standard Oil decision. There was no such demand and the realizing sales consequently forced prices downward.
 Acute weakness developed in the Erie issues, accompanied by rumors of a com- ing receivership. Serious as might be considered such contingency, there was no pressure of selling, the general list securities more than there had been buy ing on account of the Standard Oil de- cision The measure projected for the rescue" of the Erie from a threatened receivership by advances from E. Il. Hartman was one of the earliest and most potent factors in starting the revival of speculative confidence following the state of collapse following the financial panic A failure to make permanent the provision then temporarily arranged would present many suggestions of un- favorable purport now. The failure to support the Fries today suggested the motive of demonstrating to recalcitrant bondholders the possible consequences or A refusal to assent to the financial plan, such assent on the part of 90 per cent or the bondholders being enjoined by the public service commission as condition of their permission to the plan.
 The news from Washington pointing to the feature of the tariff revision was or more effect in clogging the activity or the market than events nearer at hand. The assembling of the conference over anthra-

 From the Bottom.
BULLS SUPPORT PRICES

New York. March 1.-The cotton mar ket was rather more active today, but prices were easier, and the close, while steady, was at a net decline of 5 to 2 points.
 The market opened easy at a decline of 296 points and increased the loss to A matter of 7G9 points right after the open Ing, under selling of old longs, who were probably discouraged by the indifferent cables, rumors of short time in Lam cashire and prospects for more rain in the southwest. Leading bull interests seemed to be supporting prices at the de- cline, however, and during the middle ses- sion prices rallied 3 or points from the lowest level, to ease off again during the middle of the afternoon under renewed liquidation and bear pressure.
 At the low point May sold at 9.42c and October at 92oc, the lowest prices reached so far this week. Around 92Oc for Octo- Der there was a good demand, both from the leading longs and from fresh buy CTS, and prices recovered a point or two in the later trading, although the under tone of the market seemed to be unset tied. Official weather reports showed no precipitation of consequence in the south west during the past "A hours, but the forecast was for showers in south Texas and showers or snow in northern portions of that state. Southern spot markets of cially reported early were generally un- changed, and local spot brokers report some demand for export. Today's exports were heavy, being more than double the port receipts. Receipts at the ports to- day were 27,s55 bales, against 13,2OO last week and 16,15s last year.
 For the week. 10000 bales, against 152 225 last week and 1Oo.735 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans, 4365 bales, against 5ss2 last year. and at Hous- ton, 63S4 bales, against S3O last year.

cite mining wages presented another issue of which the solution is awaited. The su- preme court decision on the commodities clause test case, so long as it is with held, is expected to check liquidation. Further reductions in prices of some steel products today and another decline in refined copper represented the unsettle- 1nent still prevalent in those industries.
 Arrangements were reported for the eX- port to London of $1 100000 in eagles on Saturday, nding the easier tone of London discounts. The decrease in value of February agriculture exports of S30S50,000 compared with February of last year. throws the necessary light on the gold outgo In addition the demand for money in the local market today was called practically dead, the only sign of demand being for funds for a year at 31& per cent.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, March u.-(Special J. The liquidation of today appears to be due to the dullness in general business causing some of the outside holders to sell. While the government predicts rains for tomor- row in Texas the predictions have been so wrong of late that little attention was paid to them. The market has rallied so frequently from about these prices that many orders to buy the new crop on the basis of 9.20c are yet to be filled. While the liquidation today surprised the market there Is no disposition to expect a decline of. more than temporary na- ture unless the south gives way on their spot cotton holdings.

turned Mrs. Coleman's fire. More
than 20 shots were fired.
In the excitement the chauffeur
tried to escape in ting automobile, but

had dismounted, and when the ma
chine was overturned It struck her
and broke two Of her ribs. This en-.
