STEEL IS AGAIN
WELL SUPPORTED
New York Central and Rock
Island Again Reach New
Low Points

New York, February New York Gem
trail and Rock Island securities again con-
solidated to develop marked weakness
today. Elsewhere the market was dull
and apathetic with the same dragging ten
deney of the previous days of the week.
Prices eased off slightly at the begin
ming, but the movement was checked
quickly and thereafter most of the rep
reseatative shares were almost station
ary. New York Central was forced down
to 90iso by a continuation of the per-
sistent selling which has marked the
stock recently.
Earlier in the week this stock sold at
CSC
The Rock Island securities once more
reached new low points in the history of
the company.
The common stock fell to 6s4c, the pre-
ferred to 121ac and the collateral As to 44c.
Much of the selling of the Rock Island
stocks was for foreign account.
It was estimated that 100000 shares or
these issues had been placed at vari-
Gus times in the Amsterdam market
whence came a considerable part of to-
days selling orders.
Canadian Pacific was strong in the
early market, being influenced by previ-
Gus rise in London. but later it receded.
Steel was again well supported. Fore
casts of the bank statement were far
from the mark. Instead of the predicted
cash gain of sSOOo.oOo in anywise there
was loss of more s3,500.0oo
Reserve requirements were reduced by
a sprinkling of shrinlSings in deposits so
there was nominal increase in surplus.
Prices of bonds were inclined to shade
off owing to the pronounced weakness of
special issues.

LITTLE BUYING FOR
THE LONG ACCOUNT
Reactions Caused by Profit
Taking Operations on
the Short Side

New orleans. February While cot
Ten had a downward tendency today.
The tone was steady. and reactions were
caused by profit taking operations on
tie short side Little buying for long
account was in evidence at any time,
although there were rumors that local
bulls were planning to take up cotton
on March contracts. These rumors
stimulated short covering to some ex-
tent
The decline of to S points on the
opening was caused by disappointing
cables from Liverpool Offerings of
short cotton were heavy enough at
upes TO more than meet the demand
fer realizing purposes aud at the low
est the market stood to . points down.
The close was steady at a net loss of
to points.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, February THE cotton
market had downward tendency
throughout the week, although price
changes were not wide. .oelling was
CHIEFLY for the short account, although
moderate, amount of liquidation came
from the long side. Short sales were
based principally <on the continued
large movement, and, toward the end
of the week, on the lighter mill taxi
irgs
The net results of the week were a
loss of to i6 points. High prices
were reached on Monday and low prices
on Friday. At the highest tho trad
ing months were to points over
last weeks close and at the lowest
they were 13 to "a points under The
range was 16 to 32 points.
The large into sight movement and
tho small mill takings caused bearish
changes in the visible supply which,
In turn, led to bearish comment re-
sarding the total supply of cotton
available this season. Bears pointed
out that the visible now amounts to
4.547.0o0 bales against 4,484.000 a year
ago.
In the spot department prices lost ls
of a cent. middling closing at 12 11-18c.
against 12 13-1sc last week and ~ 9-16c
this week last year. Sales on the spot
amounted to 1909 bales against S442
last week. and 1920 this week last year,
sales to arrive amounted to 6677 bales,
against 6493 last week and 500 this

will pass Chester going south
about two O'Clock in the after
noon, and going north about
four-thirty. it is stated. and will
to some extent at least meet the
demand of the Chester public for
better and more convenient ac-

McLaurin Not in Race.

John l.. McLaurin will not be
a candidate for governor of
South Carolina in the coming
primary. The time for filing
pledges expired Tuesday at noon
and Mr.. McLaurin was not in
cluded in the number who had
qualified Us candidates.
However, there are eleven
qualified candidates for the
office of governor. Four candi-
dates are i'll the race for the
senatorship.
The decision of Mr.. McLaurin
to withdraw from the race will
probably come as a great sur
prise to many people and will
probably cause some shake up in
the speculations as to the. prob
able winners. Mr.. McLaurin
has been counted by some people
as one of the candidates who
would be in the second race.
