LEADING STOCKS
EXHIBIT GAINS
Coppers, Coalers, Pacifics
and Steel in Especially
Good Demand

New York. March 3.-Operations on the
long side of the stock market were con-
Quoted confidentially today.
For the present at least there is a re-
action from the extreme pessimism of the
last few weeks. The supply of stocks
was limited, even at higher range of
prices.
Bear traders were unable to discover q
weak spot of any Importance in the list.
No attempt was made to force up prices
with a rush, but the slow creeping adj
vsI.ce went on virtually without inter-
ruption until many of the leading stocks
had gained 2 to points.
coppers, coalers Pacifics and steels were
in especially good demand. There was
some profit taking toward the close,
which scaled down prices. 1t was as
sumed that national politics would hold
first place this week in the talk of the
street.
Political aiconslderations have played such
large part in the decline of the last
few weeks that traders We're inclined to
await definite indications of the attitude
OF the new administration before enter
ing upon extended new commitments. An
important factor in the days advance was
London buying. Amalgamated was in
especially good demand from abroad. and
there was considerable buying of the fav-
orites in Steel, the Eries and Steel slibsi-
diaries. The advance was consequent to
Inc rise in metals. London reported a
considerable higher range of prices, and
in the domestic market there was q
stronger tone. Fs
The world wide demand for money and
tue poor showing of the banks last week
were reflected in the strong tone of the
money market. CAN funds opened at "a
per cent. The bond market was firm.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, March Especial. -
There is evidently a more favorable
view taken OF the situation in Europe
than here because the foreign markets
continue to be relatively higher from
day to day as compared with ours
Good trade demand, diminishing sup
plies and few offers from America to
meet this demand is the reason for
this feeling abroad. Peace seems now
to be not far distant and the money
markets OF Europe are looking forward
to a release OF all OF the boarded
capital during the past is months.
Here the local outside traders are
most pessimistic ana short although
there seems to be a larger Unprotected
short interest IN March than antiic-
pated az premium OF 30 points over
July which they are selling.

COTTON LEAF WORM g3@ IS DOING DAMAGE
Are Stripping Stalks of Leaves and Squares On Plantations Near
 Pine Bluff.

The cotton leaf worm has made its appearance on Jefferson county plan. tations and D. l.. Trimble, on whose place the worm is doing some damage says that the cotton crop will suffer materially from the insect. The, worm has already been, found in numbesr on the Breckenridge place at Noble Lake, Dr. Simmons plantation east of this city, and on the Trimble place in the same neighborhood.
 The cotton leaf worm literally strips the stalk of it's leaves and destroys the squares Hundreds ot blackbirds, which feast on the worms, are in the fields and MT. Trimble says that they are eating many of them. but that they appear too fast for the blackbirds to en tirely rid the fields of them. He suggests the use of Paris green where the worms are found.
