 Are Stationary

Due to the rainy weather of yesterday business on Morris avenue experienced quite slump. The demand was apa- thetic and the prices stationary. The supplies were good, except in the fish lne.
 Eggs are stationary at present but dealers predict drop in prices for next week. unless the demand takes a sud- den upward trend and the supplies show signs of lessening. The demand for hens is fair and the supply somewhat below normal. Fryers are not to be had.
 Produce dealers had very bad business yesterday, but the supplies are good and price stationary.

COTTON DEF AFTER AN EARLY ADVANCE Profit Taking Heavy and Weighs Against the
 Market

New Orleans. March 31.--Cotton fell off today after an advance in early trading. The demand from buyers for long account was good around the opening and even at the decline later but profit taking became heavy and it weighed against the market. The close was within a point of the lowest, the trading months standing at a net loss for the day of to points.
 At the highest of the day prices were to 8 points over yesterdays final quo- tations. The demand was. based on good cahles and reports of continued large demand for cloths in Manchester. The weather map was called unfavorable, because of rains over the belt and promise of more, and stimulated buy ing to some extent.
 May was the strongest month, shorts being nervous and inclined to cover on reports that mills would take up cotton on contracts in that month.
