Our market opened lower under realizing on cotton bought earlier in the week. rallied. and finally closed at about the opening prices with the feeling heavy and the local trade of the opinion that some long interest had sold freely during the past few days. Rumors of large ship ments from our stock continue to be in circulation, leading many to look for re- ceipts from the south to replenish the stock on any further advance.

CAPITAL REPORTS AFFECTED STOCKS Extra Session and Tariff Changes Overshad0w ELECTRIC IS WEAK
 
General Electric's Trouble With the Government Causes Falling Off. Curtailment of Railroads
 Brings Discussion

New York; March Achievements on the Stock Exchange today were affected largely by the tenor of reports from Washington The market was irregular with an upward tendency In spite of the difficulties which beset bullish operators, but few material net gains were record ed at the close. Apprehensions of an extra session of Congress with its pos abilities of tariff changes overshadowed all other influences and the conflicting reports heard on Wall street from Wash- ington made khe market nervous all dsy.
 Buying movements in the morning were interfered with by liquidating whenever improvement was well under way, but In the afternoon the market grew some what steadier and prices moved upward slowly. The course of the market as 9 whole seemed to indicate that those who are in control regarded the legislative situation at the national capitol as second in importance only to decisions in the antitrust suits. sta4a

Weakness of General Electric was at- tributed to filing of a federal suit un- der the antitrust law against number of electrical companies alleged to be in the control of General Electric. Copper shares made good showing despite ln- , different trade conditions and expecta- tions that the forthcoming statement of the producers will reveal a falling of in both domestic and export business.
 Officials of various western railroads denied reports that curtailment of oper- ations had been decided upon because of the freight rates decision. A number of additional reports of earnings for January were received, among which that of the New Haven was conspicuous by reason of it's increase in net earnings of s6Ss.00O. Illinois Central, Chicago, Bur lington and Quincy and Missouri, Kansas and Texas reported less striking gains and decreases were shown by Pittsburg Cincinnati. Chicago and St. Louis,s At lantic Coast Line, Baltimore and Ohio Chesapeake and Ohio and Louisville and Nashville.
 The money movements between clear ing house banks and the sub-treasury this week were> at no time very heavy and the receipt of funds from the in- terior,. while it continued, was of com- paratively small volume. Estimates in- dicate that the outcome as shown in to- morrow's bank statement will be a gain of perhaps $4,000,000.

 yesterdays selling movement. with May
 contracts selling at 14.34c, or about 50
 points under the high level of yesterday
 morning. This was lower than due on the
 somewhat disappointing cables, and prices
 soon rallied on a renewal of bull support
 and covering of shorts, but after selling
 up to 14.53c for May or to a net advance
 of about to points on old crop posi-
 tions. the market again weakened Rumors that an extra session of Con
 gress was most probable and private ca bles from Liverpool reporting that a meeting of Lancashire spinners would be held on March 10 to discuss a short time proposition caused considerable liquida- ton and there were sharp reactions with new crop months selling into new low ground for the day during the late trad ing Reports of two small mill failures in Georgia added to the nervousness Of the market although it was said that the
 mills involved were too small to make the
 matter of much importance.
 The into-sight figures for the week proved about as expected, attracting com paratively little attention, and while the
 publication of the figures showing spin
 ners' takings was followed by a sslight rally the improvement did not hold ow- ing to the continued scattering liquida- ton and bear pressure. Much of the ear | ly buying was believed to be covering by Liverpool straddlers, who had sold May here against purchases in Liverpool ear | Her in the season, and after the close Of the English market there was less sup port on the dips here. The trade seemed | to be very nervous over the situation in Washngton,~ evidently fearing action on the Scott bill in the event of an extra session.
