WARMING
HOSTS COTTON
Short Covering Principal Fea-
ture of Dull Market-0ffer-
ingS Liberal.

NEW YORK, March 13.-Influenced by
firm cables and covering by shorts, the
cotton market here opened barely steady
To-Day, at to points advance from last
nights close. Trading was of a light
character, attributed chiefly to local oper-
atoms. Liverpool was a buyer here.
While sentiment continues bearish, the
uncertainty Of weather conditions is
causing some hesitancy. After the call
the only feature of Importance was the
selling of March and buying Of later po-
sitiOns. March declined points, while
distant months were steady around the
initial figures.
During the forenoon the market was
featureless, with the exception of scat
tered buying on heavy rains In certain
sections of the belt. with indications
pointing for more; also, reports OF storm
warnings in the Northwest and Gulf
coast, Mobile 10 Cedar Keys. This in
IN March retrieving the early decline,
with other positions displaying strength,
and at midday prices were L TO points
advanced from the opening.
Further adViceS from the belt report 70
ed Improvement in the spot situation,
with sales fairly good. This, coupled with
apprehension that weekend figures to-
feature, but did not influence any ag-
gressive buying Of consequence.
The general belief prevails that further
rallies would encourage further selling
from conservative shorts, who have COW
cred a large percentage of their short
lines This. probably, is the main factor
for the narrow range of late months IN
face Of extremely bearish sentiment.
At the close the market was very
steady with prices showing net gain 8
to II points from the final quotations Of
Wednesday.

FINANCIAL STORM
Credit Strained and Condition
Tense, But There Are Hope
full Signs.

The financial outlook is far from en-
rog-aging. American bankers still regard
,as European situation with apprehen-
sion. The storm center is Berlin.
New York Frankfurth house Of the
highest standing has issued a reasonable
statement intended to allay overalarming
apprehension. At the same time the
EsIrhsbank made a weekly report show
ing a decrease in loans of 81, 900 900 marks
and 4 fair increase in cash. Nevertheless,
one must go back of these returns.
The tremendous crop in loans is itself

lion. the increase of 5S.l73,0 600 marks in

hank is doing on the constructive side

The gold engaged was for German ac-
count To contend, as we have contend
cd that 4 per cent government loan had
failed here at this time, as it failed last
week tn Germany, is gratuitous as
sumption. Although all the world is at
present seeking financial succor here,
enough money would come forth to alb
sorb easily a 4 per cent bond offered by
Uncle Sam on the low terms of the Prus-
sian emission.
German Credit stra ned.
The brutal fact is that not only have
German fnanciers strained German cred
IT'S but the government, in unwisely and
p-ecpitously emulating Frances arma-
meut move, has terrified German invest
ors Had France cunningIy devised a
stratagem to embarrass Germany finan-
.aIly she could not have caught her
hereditary enemy more effectuaily.
Germany is celebrating the one hun
dredth anniversary of her emancipation
from French military rules, from the
regime that made OF Louise a most pa
iaeric figure as helpless and insulted

more inslaious thralldom. She is subject

Proaress Hits oId School II.


The old Marietta Street school lot Is
soon to be no more. That Is. it is being
reduced in cubic yards to such an eX-
tent that it will be hard to recognize
as the same place that held for so
many years the Marietta Street school
building. This lot was once elevated
about 20 feet. A steam shovel is fast
digging into it. however, and will soon
bring it to a level with Marietta and
Luckie streets Then it will probably
be sold by the city. The lot has a
frontage of about $50 feet on Marietta
and Luckie streets, and has a depth of
NETT street. The school building was
torn away and the new school build
ing erected several blocks to the north
on Luckie street. There are about 20
900 cubic yards of earth in the part of
the lot which is being removed.
The county is doing this work with
its steam shovel purchased last fall fOr
about $4,000, and the city is furnishing
the teams.
The county is also improving extern
sively the athletic grounds of the GeOr-
gia School of Technology Czech Flats
About 10 ConVicts are working there,
Grandstands and bleachers formerly
were located on a great bank to the
west of the field but these are now on
the east and the bank is being cut
away. 1t contains about 10000 cubic
yards of dirt. This work will be COM
pleted in about four weeks.
