SLIGHT DECLINE
 IN COTTON PRICES Early Advance Is Sharp, But
 a Reaction Follows. BULLS ARE VERY ACTIVE Buying of May Options Stirs ike Mar ket soon After the Opening, But
 Bear Pressure Causes Loss
 of Advance.
BULLS ARE VERY ACTIVE

New York, March 15-The cotton mar ket was very irregular and nervous today with large operations in May contracts
 mparting an almost sensational tone to the early trading. Later business was less active and the close was steady, net I5 points lower to ? points higher, new crop months being relatively steady. The opening was firm at an advance of 1 to F points, which carried active months into new high ground for the movement, with May selling at 150Sc and October at 12.97c on the strong showing of the cables and covering. Realizing sent prices off few points right after the call and at 14.9Sc for May a prom inent broker offered 10000 bales. This was quickly taken by one of the New Orleans bull leaders, who followed up the purchase by buying two other lots of 1O,- GOO bales each in quick succession at 14.97c and 14.96c, and who then bid 14.s5c for 10,000 more Meanwhile & large busi ness was transacted in July and it was estimated that during the first hour New Orleans bulls took at least 60,000 bales for May and July delivery.
 While these purchases seemed to demon- strate the confidence and power of the bull clique, local professionals thought it possible that buying power had been pretty well filled up and the market dur ing the middle of the day eased off to net loss of about g to 16 points under bear pressure and scattered realizing.
 . May declined to 14.S2c and October to 12.77c or about 20 to 21 points from the high of the morning. but rumors of rains in Texas were not confirmed and there was a partial recovery later on reports of a revival in the export demand for cotton goods claims of firm interior spot markets, covering and continued bull support. Southern spot markets officially reported were lsc lower to 1sc higher.
 The continent was said to be buying new crops in Liverpool. Private wires quoted the Houston weather bureau as forecasting unsettled weather for Texas and Oklahoma during the next 24 hours.
 Todays receipts 13,662 bales, against Ii, 62s last week and 19717 last year. For the week T0,0O0 bales, against 77,105 last week and s5 492 last year. Today's re- ceipts at New Orleans 2701 bales, against 3911 last year, and at Houston 35J0 bales, against 5755 last year.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, March t5.-Cotton futures opened steady. at an advance of 3 to 1 points on the old crop months. and to 10 points on the new. The greater strength of the new crops was due to buying in duced by clear weather map for Texas, In the early trading the opening prices were well maintained. in spite of rather free profit-taising by scalprg longs. Ca bles were favorable and private messages from Liverpool firms said that spnners were showing evidences of being very bare of stocks of raw cotton. This caused short lines in the old crops, which were not so much disposed to be affected by the weather news as usual.
 Toward the middle of the morning sell ing became general on reports from New York that southern bulls were being sold huge amounts of May and July cotton by floor brokers. Under this selling the more active months broke 20 to 25 points Beers claimed the offerings were justi- fled because of the weather forecast, which predicted unsettled weather to- night and tomorrow for Texas, and be. cause of the unsatisfactory labor situa- tion over great portion of the country. Shorts were further encouraged by tele- grams from Texas stating that cotton vas being planted in many of the early localities. and early planted corn was coming up, thereby indicating that there Is enough moisture in the ground to ger r1- mate cotton seeds. At noon the mar ket was quiet and steady, about five points up from the bottom.

WIDE DEVELOPMENT
 OF FARM LANDS NOTED

l Columbus, Ga. March 15.-(Special.)
 The Georgia and Alabama Industrial I Index will say tomorrow in it's regular
 weekly issue f't | 'Dennite announcement has been
 made of one of the largest hydro-e cleo | tric developments ever undertaken in
 the southern states, the Columbus Pow
 CT company, at Columbus, Ga, having
 confirmed a rumor that it Will erect a dam and power plant on the Chatta-
 hoochee river few miles north of
 that city A dam of such height will be
 erected as to cause the waters of the
 river to take precipitate tumble Of TO feet, developing 24,000 horsepower, and | the giant energy thus created will be I transmitted to various Georgia and
 Alabama cities and towns for the use of industries. An interesting fact in connection with the construction of the l s00-foot dam and the large power plant, the whole representing an in
 vestment of something like $1,500, 900. is that the machinery used in the build ing operations will be electrically
 driven, current being conveyed to the
 scene by transmission line from Co., lumbus. where the company has three
 power plants.
 Farm land development is live theme in both states just now and in
 this connection several little incidents
 are very interesting. In Baldwin coun- ty, Alabama. a tract of land is being cleared for 50 families from New York,
 while in Mobile county, nearby, Chi cago company is setting out thousands
 of fruit and pecan trees on tract of land 1t has acquired. The citizens of a leading south Georgia county held a meeting at which 1t was voted to co-op-
 crate with a company that proposes to develop the farm lands of that county. It was stated that only one-tenth of the land in the county Is in cultivation although the soil there is naturally quite fertile. It was announced that one large property holder would place 10, 900 acres on the market. In another south Georgia county a company is be- ing formed for development and coloni-
 zation purposes. In Sumter county
 $36 900 more of South Carolina money was invested in farm lands.
 Bids are invited for about $400, 900 of street work, sewers, etc, for Corey, the new industrial community of the Birmingham district. LaFayette Ala, voted improvement bonds. and Dothan,
 Ala, is inviting proposals for paving and other street work. Anniston, Ala, is to secure a large modern hospital. Mobile county. Alabama, will erect sew eral' school houses A $165.000 tourist hotel is announced for Thomasville, Ga.
 Tuscaloosa, Ala, is to exempt new in dustries from taxation. fertilizer company is to be organized at Monte
 yuma, Ga, and a $6o.000 crate company
 applied for charter at Rome, Ga A
 half-million dollar fire insurance com
 pany is to be organized at Augusta, Ga.
 Twenty-six new corporations were
 formed during the week. their minimum capital stock being $s49.000. A tract of II acres in Atlanta, Ga, was sold and
 is to be substantially improved by the
 erection of warehouses and manufac-
 turing plants. One and probably two
 new banks are announced for vidalia. Ga"

DECIDED SLUMP
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Reports of Rain in Southwest
 Cause the Decline.
CLOSE AT THE BOTTOM
With Sluggish Cash Demand the Close Is Weak--Oats and Pro-
 visions Also Decline.

Chicago March 15.-Grain and provisions slumped sharply here today, wheat de- clining on uncontirmed reports of rain in Kansas. Corn and oats followed the course of wheat, while provisions were depressed by selling by packers. At the close wheat was 7sc to 19sc off; corn s4c to %c lower. and oats asc to ssc down. Final figures on provisions showed a net loss of 37tac to 421ac.
 The wheat market was weak all day and at the low point prices were down 1c to 1asc from the high mark. A slump early in the session was induced by various reports of rain in the southwest ern wheat country, which later proved unfounded, although the official fore cast indicated rain in that section to- night or tomorrow Unfavorabe crop reports from Illinois. Indiana and other states met with slight response from the trade, which was apparently waiting to see if the predicted rains would material ize.
 The May option fell from S1141s to s1 1901 .13ls, the other futures going down with it and reaching still lower levels, July travelling from $1.08 to $1Oess The close was weak all around. with May 7sc off at s1.l3ss and July 11s@14c off at s1o6N 01. .06A.
 Corn fell off with wheat May declined from 65Ac to 64i4@642sc, the other futures keeping within slightly narrower limits The cash market was sluggish and prices were generally 1sc lower No. 3 yellow sold at 62QD621ac. All the futures closed weak at near the low point, with May %9Bc off at 64asq641ac.
 Oats followed the other grains and in a narrower limit showed similar de- clines. Early liquidation was followed by still further weakness. May fell off from 46c to 45ssc. The close was weak in all the futures, with May ssdkc off at 45ss@451kc.
 Provisions showed some strength at the outset, but under heaving selling, credited to packers, declined sharply later in the session, losing from DOC to S5c. Renewed buying recovered some of the heavy losses, but the close was weak all around and materially lower than yes- terday's final figures. May pork made the sharpest fall, dropping from s2622la to $2o.371a, and afterwards crawling up to a close at S25.721a, 421a off. Closing fig- ures of the other May products were; Lard s13.s21s, 4oc off, and ribs s1325, 7hc off

uubnard pros. .s Co.'S Letter

New York, March 15.-tSpecial)--A new feature developed today on the sudden ap- pearance in Liverpool of buying orders from Russian houses for the new crop, which in turn was caused by the demand at the annual Russian fair at Nijni NoV- gorod for cotton goods for shipment to the interior of Asia. This demand in way confirms the belief that the demand in Manchester of late from India and the distant east is due to the high prices re- ceived for raw material by producers all over the world who in turn are buying cotton goods at what seems high prices. Of course America with her small export trade does not feel this demand for goods. Therefore. the feeling naturally follows the advices from our own mills and Is pessimistic, except among those who are looking at the situation from very broad standpoint Heavy realizing has been in progress all day from local and southern account, which caused a sharp reaction from the top prices, though the close was steady at points lower A reac- tion of points Is expected in Liverpool tomorrow.
