COTTON GOES UP
Spot Interests Absorb Heavy
Sales of Wall Street and
Ring Crowd.

NEW YORK, March 2S-Infiuenced by
ket here opened barely steady with first
prices at net gain of l to 4 points over
Yesterdays close. Holders of March con-
tracts sold which resulted in the option
receding points within the first Is min
utes of trading. March and May, how
ever, were under active demand and
quickly rallied points over the opening
Better weather conditions generally en-
couraged the bears.
Liverpool was reported a good buyer in
this market at the outset, which brought
OUT wave of good buying from the
larger spot houses
Wall Street and the ring crowd were
good sellers during the forenoon, but Of
ferlngs We're readily absorbed by Liver
pool and brokers who usually represent
the larger spot interests.
Rumors that the Balkan war sis near
an end, coupled with clearing weather
and reports from Texas that the cold
weather and rains have done little or
no damage to crop preparations, were
used as market arguments.
Sentiment continues of bearish char
acter and the average bears express the
belief that the aggressive buying during
the past few days Is from big spot houses.
During the afternoon session the mar
ket was steady. with prices about points
over the opening, except March option,
which was 4 points lower
During the last hour Of trading a pre-
cipitant short covering movement pre-
vailed, resulting in March jumping to
l249, May 1908 and July 11.99. At the
close the market was firm with prices
showing net gain of to IA points from
the closing quotations of Thursday.

O. How is it that a railroad can sell
its notes when it can not sell its bonds, as
| see the Seaboard intends doing now?
A The notes bear more interest The
railroads are willing TO pay this greater
interest in order TO get immediate use
of the money, but the notes are a short
term investment, usually three to five
years. Before the end of that time, the
SeabOard for example expects to be able
to sell its bonds. which will give it need

brought in a nice load Of heifers last
week, was on the market again this week
with two loads Of choice shorthorn steers
from his feed lots, which brought about
the top price ever paid in this section for
beef cattle. They were all young, of good
color and uniform weights and made
fine show. These were bought by an At.
lanta packer, and finer string of dressed
beef was never seen on the rails of a
packing house cooler These ca tile alsu
add further creditable proof of Georgia's
rapid advancement in the beef cattle in
dustry

WEATHER CONDITIONS GOOD
FOR GROWING WHEAT CROP

CHICAGO March 2S-The weather is
much more seasonable and conditions are
certainly conducive for the growing wheat
crop. Weakness in the market yesterday
was more largely inherent than due to
any other cause. There is nothing in the
home cash situation or in the foreign de-
Prices on corn for the immediate future
depend almost entirely on the demand for
the cash article, which at the moment is
almost void.
Comparatively light receipts of oats
make shorts more or less timid and offer
ings at times restricted. The cash in
quiry continues small
The trend of the market at the moment
seems a little lower for provisions, but
prices will be entirely dependent on the
volume of receipts

The fact that spinpers delayed calling

well for the urgency of needs.
Our market opened a few points better

FOREIGN COUNTRIES
PROMISE AVERAGE
CROP, SAYS REPORT

Crops in foreign countries promise 10 be
up To the average, according to the cur
rent report of the United States depart
ment of agriculture
Argentina, Chile and Australia have
just reaped crops of wheat of eXcep-
tionally good quality, and 600 bush
els in excess Of last years in quantity.
4 hot drought probably has cut the
corn yield in Argentina by 100, 600 600
bushels from last year.
Drought damaged the Indian wheat
crop. which usually is harvested in March,
and the United Provinces are expected
to get three-fOurths of an average crop,
while Berar twill get a half crop.
Wet weather cut the European acre
age in winter cereals. Lack of snow and
too much rain has damaged such crops
as were planted.
The Canadian wheat yield was cut about
10000 bushels as compared with 1911.
The oats, barley and fiaNseed crops
showed increases, and corn 1000 600
bushels decrease. Potatoes and alfalfa
showed considerable increases.
