and kept their strength to the finish.
Dry weather in the southwest wheat
country. recurrence of crop damage re-
tations were bullish factors in the wheat
pit with which traders wrestled. The
market kept within comparatively mar
row limits. and the advance was less than
the lineup OF bullish features would usu-
ally warrant. Shorts had their wants
supplied early in the day. and there was
hesitancy among new investors In taking
hold or large lines at the week end May
traders preferred September to the earlier
months, and it worked from 1.O3ss to
1.o4ss July being slightly less active.
The close was strong at near the high
point. May being sc up at 1.135a.
Covering by shorts as well as invest
ment buying by present holders of grain
kept the corn market strong all day.
The accumulation Of stocks, which has
Deen observed Tor weeks, was ignored by
the traders as the quotations gained
fractionally and an improved shipping
demand gave impetus to the trade. May
moved between 63A and 64la, the more
distant options taking similar course.

call, prices being generally Nc higher. No.

lions on futures continued strong to the
close of the session, May at the finish
being 12aesc up at 64S.
Covering by shorts, speculative buying
and strong demand from cash houses
kept the oats pit active and prices strong
throughout the session. The May deliv-
cry showed the widest fuctuat.on, moving
from 44asa441s to 451s The close was
strong and near the high point, with
May 4saA up, at 45h.
Under the stimulus OF high price records
in the live hog market today provisions
advanced sharply and went up to the
highest point for many years, May pork
selling at 25.S71a. May lard at 14V7l2a

was not great in volume, but the demand
was steady throughout the day, and at

Big Increase of Capital.

American Telephone and Telegraph
and New York Central, advancing
fractionally. gave faint responses to
the favorable financial and operating
conditions presented In the annual re-
ports, and though trading in the stock
was light, a great deal of attention was
directed to American Telephone and
Telegraph by the announcement OF the
plan to increase the capitalization from
1900. 0OO, 900 to S5O0,0u0.0O0. The In
crease Is IN accordance with the de-
cIared policy of the company to secure

ance with the same aggressive policy
there was announced in the course OF
market hours the sale of $3.OOO.O0O
bonds and 81 900. 600 notes by the Pacific

NEW YORK, March 12.-Among

In a light volume of trading the mar

ments which is customary among pro-

Steel common, which best resisted
the raid on prices. was strong through

loubtedly, its strength was due to COW
ering Of short contracts. for which a
reason particularly applicable to this
stock was found in the circumstance
that 1T sells ex-dividend / per cent on

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. March 12.-While cables
were somewhat reactionary and there
was some realizing for over the week
end. the cotton market made a generally
steady showing today, closing steady, net
points lower to 4 points higher. The
opening was steady at g. decline of 2a1l
points, in response to lower cables and
scattering liquidation. but southern bull
leaders checked the decline by bidding for
large blocks Of the near months, and the
market soon rallied on the support from
this source and renewed covering. The
strength of the old crop situation, bull.sh
Weekend figures and the various rumors
egarding the possibilities of a May
squeeze appeared to keep the short inter-
est in the near positions very nervous
and there was evidently very little DIS
position to sell for short account.
From 14.79 on the call May contracts
advanced to 1491, or three points net
higher. and closed at 1888 bid. The active
months generally were unchanged to 4
points higher on the CALL with October
relatively firm. as result Of covering
the prospect for a small carry-over into
of an unsatisfactory crop outlook in
Texas. Private cables attributed the set
back in Liverpool to scattered selling in
narrow market, and the detailed state
ment of a prominent English statistician
added no weight to the cables received
some days ago estimating the world 8
consumption Of American cotton for the
season at 100000 bales. Weekly re-
views of the dry goods trade presented no
fresh feature, and the weather map
showed no rain In the southwest.
