AN ACTIVE BUYING
 MOVEMENT AT START
New Crop Months Relative ly Undetermined Good
 Spot Demand

New York March 27.--Renewed demand from old crop cotton shorts today caused an early advance, but prices eased off later under realizing or selling for a reaction. with the close steady, net point higher to points lower.
 There was quite an active buying move ment at the start. Brokers supposed to be operating for Wall street interests were credited with taking fully 1a,0o tales of July during the first half-hour, which was supposed to be covering shorts. There was also an active de- mand for May from local spot houses. against sales in Liverpool, which was rumored to be in the way of undoing straddles.
 After opening steady at an advance of to points. active months sold about to 10 points net higher but the de- mand tapered off after the close of Liverpool, and prices turned easier dur irg the afternoon A rather bullish view Of the weekend figures encouraged some scattering buying on the setback. but closing prices were practically the low point of the day.
 | Private cables reported a better busi- hess in Manchester, and continental buy Ing Of new crop months in Liverpool probably helped the early advance, while reports of continued unsettled weather in the south inspired rather more talk of delayed farm work. New crop months were relatively quiet. but there was some buying of those positions by sellers Of near months on the early advance and there was also scattering demand from Wall street and western sources.
 Comparatively few advices were re- ceiVed from the belt. out private wires from the southwest said there was a continued good spot demand. and that rain was interfering with farm work Reports from the dry goods trade in cioated an improved demand with more seasonable weather.

LOSSES ARE MOSTLY HELD ID FRACTIONS Weakness Develops in Spots. Trading Dull Abroad
 as Well

New York, March 2.-The progressive decline in stock exchange transactions proceeded today to a point which brought down speculation to minimum proportions. The slow downward movement of the last few days continued. Weakness developed in spots, losses in most instances were held to fractions. Fluctuations were SC narrow that professional traders had few opportunities, and the latter part of the day they left the market to Itself, with the result that business was at a standstill much of the time.
 The discouraging feature from the standpoint of traders committed to the long side, was the comparatively wide decline of few issues in spite of the fact that no pressure was directed against them.
 Lehigh Valley stood most eonspicuously among these stocks falling back points. Pittsburg, c. c. and St. Louis lost points of the recovery which followed it's first . break on announcement of the cut in divi- dends. Canadian Pacific, Northern Pa cific and Northwestern also were heavy. Union Pacific's February net fell off s5l2,- GOO, and Illinois Central s2469O0.
 VI tit SuSdG was especially heavy. Its decline was at trlbuted to current trade conditions and to forecasts of an unusually large beet sugar crop. Tobacco stocks were de- pressed by the prospects of further ltiga- tion with the government.
 Trading was dull abroad as well as in this market, and London did little busi- ness here. A few buying orders in Steel and Amalgamated were executed for for eign accOilntS
 There was easier tendency in the time money market, despite the near approach of the time for April dividends and inter- est payments. The banks continued to accumulate cash on transactions with the interior cash gain of s2,0o0,000 to s4,0O0 coo was indicated by known movements or currency during the week.
 Bonds were irregular. Some prominent issues were heavy. Total sales, par value, $2, 400. 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, March 27.-rhe cotton mar ket has been more or less unsettled dur Ing the past week. The old crop covering movement. which began early in the month, sent May contracts up to 12Sic on Monday, or practically A per bale above the low record established in March g.. At this level, however the demand he- came less urgent and prices since have reacted several points under realizing or the operations of resctionists
 March contracts have maintained a premium of about So points over May. but at that difference leading spot house brokers have supplied the demand and since the May buying movement tapered of. the premium on that position over July has narrowed from about 30 to IT points at the close of business tonight.
 According to local gossip the straddle short interest In May contracts now has been materially reduced. and while if ia supposed that the combined straddle and hedge interest In May and July Is still a large one, some traders now are pre- dieting that future demand from that source will be less active, and more likely to show itself on declines than to follow the market up on advances, in the hope Of an easier spot situation with the ad- vance of planting season.
 Not much news has reached heIe from southern spot markets during the week. put there have been sales of rejectlons from the local stock, and private wires have reported a good demand, particu- larly for low grades, while local opera tors, who, watch the trading closely, claim to have seen no indications of sales here against supplies remaining in the interior
 Recent cables, from Liverpool report an improved business in Manchester, and While there has been more talk of short tune in domestic mill circles, the more seasonabe weather of the past two or three days is said to have stimulated the demand for goods.

Arrows of OutrareOus Eorturo

Rastus was sorely wounded From his face gore flowed in rivulets. and in the outer covering of his substantial head there were sundry gashes and openings says the Popular Magazine. He had heen the victim of brutal assault
 The physician who treated him for his wounds were sympathetic
 Great heavens'' he said. Somebody has beaten you up In terrific manner. You must have been hit at least nine or ten times"
 Dat aint no joke" said Rastus. who was still trembling. q don't believe I was able to git out ob de way of anything dat wuz throwed at me-
 Then you ought to learn a lesson from It, suggested the doctor. Thereafter. you ought to stay far away from people who indulge in this sort of thing"
 "Dar ain't no chance" Rastus obiected gloomily. You know, boss, I ain't got de price of no divo'ce"

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'sLetter

New York, March 27.-(Speclal. )-Icarly in the day there appeared good demand for the old crop, partly to cover and partly on arbitrage between the foreign markets. Afterward the advance was lost on what appeared to be realizing by some outside holders. We find the in terest being transferred to the weather conditions for the new crop, which are thought to have delayed the preparations during the past month.
 Everyone hears so much of the depres- sion th trade, that there Is little or no speculation for an advance, but if the weather should be poor the new crops would advance
 We again hear the rumor of the taking or the stock on May contracts

New Orleans, March 27-Cotton had higher tendency In the morning ses- sion of the market today, chiefly as the result of heavy rains over the central and western belt, which. 1t was gener- ally considered. would tend to delay the start of the new crop. At the highest trading months were s points over yes- terdays close. The advance was due mors to slender offerings than to the ex- tent of the demand.
 In the afternoon disappointment was manifested over mill takings which were we'll below expectations on the bull side, and the market fell of, standing at the lowest points down to 2 points up compared with the final figures of yesterday. The close was steady, unchanged to 6 points up, net. March showing the most strength in last prices.
