COTTON REGION
REPORTS bEARISH
Market Steady, Last Prices
at Net Rise of 2 to 4
Points

New Orleans, March 6.-The cotton
market was steady today In the face of
bearish reports from nearly all Sections
of the cotton region. The failure of prices
to respond to favorable accounts of the
progress of new crop work was said to
be due, in the market comment of the
Gay to the fact that a considerable short
interests exists which takes profits on
every downward movement of prices.
The opening was steady. l point up
to l point down. compared with the last
prices of yesterday. Cables were better
than due, but the good weather map and
the forecast of fair weather held prices
down. At the highest of the day tho
trading months were to points over
yesterdays final quotations. After the
noon hour they were to points under,
forming the low levels of the day. To-
ward the close the market was very
steady on good demand from shorts and
the last prices We're at a net rise of to
points.
parts of the belt said that plowing was
making rapid headway and many sec
tions advanced the claim that prepara-
tions for planting were ahead of last
year at this time. Bears circulated tele-
grams. especially from Texas, indicating
an increase In acreage, compared with
that of last year.

STOCK MARKET IS
WATCHING CAPITAL
Much Importance Is At
tached to First Acts Of
New Administration

New York. March e--In response to an
other shift in speculative sentiment stocks
sold off today.
Trading was not large and the move
ment appeared to reflect little more than
the passing mood of professional .oper-
ators,
On Monday stocks were marked up; on
Tuesday they were put down; on Wednes-
day up and today down.
Traders are feeling their way while
awaiting developments of sufficient sig
nificance TO serve as guide posts.
In this connection much importance is
attached to the first acts of the new ma
ticnal administration. 1t is realized that
some time will be required to put into eff
feet the policies Of the administration,
and that the stock market may have
ahead of 1t q period of suspense. Few
important stocks today lost more than l
point.
There was some profit taking as well as
renewed bear selling ON the theory that
the long position had been weakened by
recent extensive covering. Except In some
OF the specialties there was no evidence
OF liquidation. American tobacco fell over
points, making its decline In the last
two days /. points, which. however. was
reduced by q rally late in the day.
Other tobacco stocks were heavy. The
urgency of Berlin's financial requirements
was indicated today by the rafing of the
German bids for money In this market to
Z 61s per cent for funds to April's end. 1t
is understo ood that loans were placed at
this figure. Further strength was shown
in the foreign exchange market today,
rates for both sterling and continental
exchange rising. The bond market was
heavy. Total sales par value, $2,65o,0O0.
Bonds of the United States on call un-
changed.

New York, March 6.-(SpeciaL)-We
have had a quiet market with little
change in prices, but with more buying
from the continental spinners. The sell
ers were the local interests and from the

Rumors were current of a large sale to
Japan for shipment either from the south
or here. There has been more inquiry
here for spots than for two months
whether 1t will result in business has yet
to be seen.
We see no change in the situation
Europe buys and America sells each day
