REVIEW OF THE
STOCK MARKET
Course of Trading Along
Uncertain LineS-The
Close Better.

The stock market yesterday was an
irregular affair, and the net results OIL
the short session offered no conclusive
evidence Of the exact status OF the
market as regards its future course
Pursuing a trend of uncertainty yes
terday was in line with the previous
developments in stock market opera
tons during the week, which resulted
more or less from the effect OF the
passing Of the dividend by New YORK.
New Haven G. Hartford. In some issues
there were distinct signs OF weak
ness, while in others the tone was SUI
ficiently hard to offset the declining in
clinations OF the weak ones. Amerl-
can Telephone and Telegraph. western
Urion and others in the early tradlnB
were especially notable as evidencing
downward disposition.
A new low point was touched by
American Telephone and Telegraph
but when an upward movement began
during the second hour this stock was
benefited, and recovered some of its
loss. There were bears in the market
who could see no bright side TO the
aspect, and they attempted to raid
prices before the end of the first hour,
directing their attacks chiefly toward
Rock Island issues and some OF the
leaders. But at the close of the ses-
sion the low points of the day had
been left behind, and there were
sufficient number of gains 10 give the
list an appearance OF steadiness.
1t was difficult to define the trend
except on a basis Of professional
changes due to fiuctuating sentiment
that ordinarily means very little during
a period of business and political UNI
certainty. 4 report that New York,
New, Haven e. Hartford was passing
into stronger hands, which would build
1t up as a railroad property and a fut'
ure dividend payer, was responsible for
the firmer appearance of New Haven
stock. which closed the day with gain
of full point. Mexican Petroleum en-
joyed recovery and an advance be-
yond it's closing price on Friday as a
result of the stand taken by Admiral
Fletcher to protect the oil interests OF
Tampico News Of the day. including
reports from the business world, con-
tanned little that could be turned in the
direction OF an optimistic outlook, but,
on the other hand, conditions were not
shown TO be distinctly worse than dur
ing the week previous.
Affairs at Washington, however, con-
tinued to display sufficient uncertainty
to overcast the outlook with doubt as
to the prospect of an early clearing
away Of the disturbing elements.

JURY TAKES SON FROM
MRS. MIRIAM CRAIG

Mrs. Miriam Craig lost the custody
of her four-year- old boy and her suit
for alimony in the remarkable divorce
proceedings instituted against her by
her husband, R. H. Craig. The case
came to an end in the, superior court
today after five days Of a, sensational
trial The case has been in the courts
OF three states.
Evidence was introduced this morn
ing just before the case went to
jury. that Mrs. Craig, since coming to
Atlanta. had been seen in clubs drink
ing with other men.
About six months ago Craig got his
first decree, which was won by default
In the final proceedings Craig not only
fought his suit for divorce and the
custody of his son, but fought the
counter suit of Mrs. Craig for the Gus
tody Of the child and alimony.
The fact that the jury not only de-
MED the woman alimony, but the GUS
tody of the boy, will make it one Of
the most remarkable in the annals OF
the Fulton county courts.
The jury deliberated the matter an
hour before returning verdict.

Proaress Hits Old School Lot.

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
about 250 feet. 1t is just north of En-
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 25,-
600 cubic yards of earth in the part of
the lot which is being removed.
The county is doing this work with
it's steam shovel. purchased last Tall fo-
about $500, and the city is furnishing
the teams.
The county is also improving extern

Grandstands and bleachers formerly
were located on a great bank to the

yards of dirt. This work will be COM

The financial outlook is far from en-

the European situation with apprehen-

A New York Frankfurt house of the
highest standing has issued a reasonable
statement intended to allay overalarmfng
apprehension. At the same time the
Reichsbank made a weekly report show

The brutal fact is that not only have

Germany is celebrating the one hun

WARMING

Short Covering Principal Fea-

ingS Liberal.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Influenced by
firm cables and covering by shorts, the
cotton market here opened barely steady
today, 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.

tered buying on heavy rains in certain
sections of the belt, with indications
pointing for more, also, reports of storm

coast. Mobile to Cedar Keys. This in
huenced further short covering. resulting
in March retrieving the early decline,
and al midday prices were l to 4 points
advanced from the opening
Further adviCes from the belt report
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 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 6
to II points from the final quotations of
Wednesday.
