COT1ON DEVELOPS IRREGULAR MARKET Early Advance Lost Later in the Day THE CLOSE WAS FIRM First Decline Was Due to RumOrs of Short Time in Lancashire and
 Recovery Came Later on
 Private Cables
THE CLOSE WAS FIRM

New York, March 1o.-The cotton mar ket was somewhat irregular An early advance was lost following rumors re- garding short time in Lancashire. but the tone was frmer late in the day with prices working into new high ground for the movement and. closing very steady at a net advance of II to 1S points.
 The opening was steady at an advance of to points. and during the early trading active months sold at about s to F points above the closing figures of yesterday on covering, bull support and little fresh buying from outside sources, which appeared to be encouraged by rel atively firm cables. expectations of bullish weekend figures, reports of firm spot markets in the interior and renewed talk that high temperatures in the southwest would soon bring in complaints of drouth.
 New crop positions led the early ad- vance, although several wires were re- ceived from Texas reporting that the warm weather would do little more than hasten farm work, but after the market had sold at 14 43c for May and PIP for October, offerings became heavier and prices eased off to about the closing fig- ures OF the previous day on ramors that Lancashire spinners had decided in favor of short time.
 A little later, however, private cables were received stating that the splnners at their meeting in Manchester today had only decided that a vote should be taken upon the proposal, to close down on Satur- days for the next three months. which would amount to a total curtailment in running time of Il hours. Some of the cables also stated that there was little likelihood that the proposal would be carried, as it required a 90 per cent vote and a considerable business was pending
 The market soon frmed up following these reassurins advices, and reached the highest point of the day in the late trad ing when buying was encouraged by the bullish weekend figures, which reflected a smaller into sight movement than ex- pected and relatively larger spinners talings.
 Receipts today, 14.19t bales. against IT, 63l last week and 23 299 last year. For the weelT 90000 bales, against 10S s99 last week and Fs,SSS last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 1877 bales, against 9007 last year, and at Houston, 1865 bales, against 1895 last year.

FLY RUMORS SEND
 WHEAT SOARING Texas Reports AbnOrmaIly
 Hot Weather BUYING IS VERY GOOD July Makes Larger Gains Than May. Corn Strengthens But Was Main ly Speculative-Provisions
 Are Very Firm
BUYING IS VERY GOOD

Chicago. March 1o.-Fear concernfne. Hessian fly in part of Illinois and Indiana sent wheat soaring today Texas reports of abnormally hot wealth CT had q similar effect. In conseouence the market closed strong, 1 hc to 1$s @ 12c higher than last night. Latest figures showed an advance, too, in ev- cry leading staple; corn, %ctto 1kc; oats, 5sc to & c 7sc, and hog products 21s @5c to 171z @2oc.
 Good buying of wheat was in evil dence all day Shorts who oversold on yesterdays slump were uneasy from the start. In addition larger profess sional spectators took advantage of the opportunity and followed the course of commission purchasing, which in itself reached big total New in vestors directed their efforts in the main to the July delivery. As re- suit that month made a better relative gain than May. Little heed was paid to the fact that the Hessian fly infec- ton fad been found in only few colNties of either Indiana or Illinois. >The feeling of apprehension Aroused was supplemented by talk of alarming possibilities from excessive heat in Texas, besides primary receipts and the world supply exhibited a substantial reduction as compared with last year and there was only the faintest re- sponse by Liverpool to yesterdays hard smash at prices in America. From the opening gong this morning until the pit was cleared the advance suffered no important stop. May ranged be- tween S91a @9O%c, closing 1Ac up al 90%c.
 Corn strength was chiefly specula- tive. Nevertheless cash corn advanced 1 cent in the sample market Eastern demand improved q little and local ele- vators also took hold though in a rath- CT sparing manner. Offerings of op- t1ns were limited throughout the ses- sion except on hard spots. May fluctu- ated from 4S7sc to soc and closed steady at 497sc, rise of 1-15c over last night. No. yellow finished at 4713 co 47%c.
 Oats rose in sympathy with corn, Shorts covered freely. High and low limits for May were 31 Ii c and 30 ss co 30hc with last sales $4 o 7sc above the figures 24 hours before.
 Higher hogs and grain and better call for meats south made provisions firm The final outcome was net gain all around. Pork, 12hc to IT h @ zoe; lard, 21a @5c to Dc, and ribs, Dc to 7ia @10c.

Nnw Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, March 1O.-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of to 4 points on favorable cables. Immediately after the calf buyers Of yesterday were inclined to take profits, and the more ac- five months were put to 2Spoints under vesterday's close The weather map was unfavorable, indicating continued dry weather everywhere in the cotton belt and stimulated fresh buying for long ac- count. and also induced considerable b1y- ing of covers by shorts. Al the end or the first hour of trading the market was to Ii points over yesterdays final prices.
 At the middle of the morning pricss were 6 to F points over yesterdays close and thei market had good tone on the report that prominent traders on the long side were taking hold of October. To some extent the market was sustained by growing belief that present agitation against future trading will lead to fed eral control of the cotton exchanges, and that bills looking to that end will re- place the bill similar to the Scott bill, which supporters of anti-future Legislation have threatened to introduce in the com ing extra session of Congress. The better feeling in the market prompted profit taking by longs which caused sag in prices. At noon the list was 1 up to 2 down compared with yesterdays close.
 In the afternoon session the market steadied up on very bullish weak-end sta tistics, anG at o'clock the trading months were il to 13 points over yester- days close.
 The market closed steady at net ad- vance of to 10 points.

STOCK MARKET
 PASSES DULL DAY Maintains Level of the Past
 Few Days SELLING VERY SLOW Steel Corporation Reports Unified Orders, Amounting to 3,4O0,0OG Tons for .February-Good
 Effect on Market

New York; March 10.--Stocks held close to the prevailing level of the last few days through today's session. ] It was another dull day. with little news except the monthly report of the United States Steel corporations un- filled tonnage. In some moderately ac- tive stocks, such as Baltimore and c.sso. Denver and Rio Grande common, aouisvlle and Nashville and Western Union, there was not a sale during the session. There was again a notice- able absence of large selling orders, a condition which shas been so general of late as to indicate that there is al most no pressure to liquidate.
 The Canadian stocks and Missouri Pacific were the strongest in the list. Canadian Pacific was strong all day, rising to new high record although its advance was less than those of all lied stocks, MinneapolF St. Paul and Saults ste Marie, Wisconsin Central and Duluth. South Shore and Atlantic, all of which rose points or more dur ing the day. Holders of Missouri Pa cifc were disposed to expect better prices, owing to indications that con- trol of the property may not have been settled so definitely as was believed and the stock was advanced sharply, al- though subsequently it lost large part of it's gain. Better understanding of the Mexican situation resulted in some improvement of Mexican railway shares.
 The United States Steel corporation's report of thrilled orders at the end of February. amounting to 3,400,000 tons, a gain of nearly 290.000 tons, was accepted favorably as showing a con tinuation of the steady increase in the steel trade which has been in pro- gress of late, although the increase was not up In the most sanguire ex- pectations. The total of unified orders was the largest since last August and while the gain was smaller than that reported at the end of the preceding month it in reality represented a larger volume of business in February owing to the enlarged operations at the mills and the subsequent heavier shipments. Traders bought steel shares freely during the morning expecting d more marked increase than was shown and Steel common sold off on publication of the figures. The drop of Steel arrested the slow improvement which was in progress through the rest of the list.
 Known money movements of the week indicate loss in cash for the banks, the first in several months. The loss to the interior, and to the sub treasury is estimated at more than $400,000. 000
 Dealings in Southern railway gen. eral mortgage As and Wabash exten- sion As were the only noteworthy fea- lures of the bond division, the trading in these two issues constituting fflore than 25. per cent of the days operations. Total sales, par value, $2112,000.
 United States bonds unchanged on call.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, March 10- Special. )-In the morning the continent appeared as Q buyer bringing about an advance, which was at one time lost on u re- bort from Manchester that the spin ners would act on the suggestion of the American spinners to shut down on Saturdays for three months It is un- derstood that 'a ballot will shortly be taken on that question.
 smaller insight than expected with rather larger spinners' takings, led to q further improvement, and the temper at the close was more in favor of ligh- er prices than for some time, based on tho expectation of smaller receipts. which will bring the European spin ners Into the market. There seems lit- tie chance of Improvement in the spin- ner trade in America.
