NEW ORLEANS, March 11.-Liver-

The firmer tone of the marke in the

crease of 81 per cent compared with

Our market opened a little better, but

Germs. Indeed, never in financial his

The Rockefellers and their numer-

What is Fries dividend policy. for
example? Are earnings to be poured
back into the property for years toI

preferred stockholders to get a few
crumbs in the near future? The dis
rectors must know their own minds
or the course TO be followed. But the
stockholders are left to grope in the
6ark.
The American Wooden directors
some time sago sold 100000 pre-
ferred stock and then, all unknown
to the stockholders, used the greater
part of the money to buy common
stock of the company in the open
market! What a chance for inside
profits! To-day the preferred shares
are worth only about $40 each, and
the dividend is in jeopardy, as a

The New Orleans Times Democrat
says: The cotton market continues to
puzzle bulls and bears alike. In the
first place speculation is practically
dead though the situation is speculative
body seems to understand why March
should be IS points higher than May in
New York since the grades and differ
ences are precisely the same In each
case. Nor is it easy TO see why May
should sell at a discount from March in
New Orleans. since cotton will be
scarcer in May than in March, If 1t be
scarce at all. But these anomalies will
disappear, one by one, as the trade deals
with the remnant The distant months
begin to attract the attention of oper-
ators who appreciate the advantage,
which big discounts bring the bull.
There Is already good deal of talk
about the backwardness of the season
in Texas and the approach of another
cold wave gives this talk especial point.
1t is also said that an unusual acreage
will be sown to coarse grains thus de-
creasing the area available for cotton.
But apart from such considerations,
there is sufficient food for thought in
the mere fact that the seed good. bad
and Indifferent is not yet in the ground,
though the hypothetical product is Of
fered by the underwriters at a discount
of 125 points from the official quota
ton for middling. This anomaly will
likewise vanish in the remote future and
there is pretty sure to be some farm
work while the readjustment is in
progress"

Few know and appreciate the steady
demand for lower grades and the large
use of them by Southern mills Offer
