STEEL STOCKSARE
 ESPECIALLY STRONG
Pig Iron Production Shows 1000 Tons Increase Over
 January

New York. March An increased de- ness of the floating supply, and although buying was not heavy, an advance of fair proportions was achieved Commis- sion house business was on larger scale. Trading grew quieter after the first hour but prices held up with firmness.
 Despite lack of outside interest in the market, investment brokers said the pur- chasing of dividend paying stocks had been going on steadily.
 The steel stocks were especially strong. Absorption of these stocks was stimu- lated by the strong showing of the Feb rIary statistics. The production of pig iron last month was placed at daily average of 67,45S tons, an increase of all most TOGO tons over the January average. On March 1 the number of blast furnaces ill operation was 21 greater than month previously.
 Weakness appeared in few spots. New Haven touched new low record of 654, but later rose with the general market. American woolens' poor annual report was reflected in a drop of more than 3 points in both the common and preferred. Fears of the effect of theNnew sugar schedule of the tariff law which becomes operative March led to the selling of these shares. Beet sugar and American sugar common and preferred sagged sharply.
 For the first time in several days the market was not affected by pressure from abroad. American stocks held steady in the London market, and there was Euro pean selling here.
 s Bonds lost ground in places. Total sales, .s2,6s5,o0o. United States As regis tered advanced Ion call.

BUYING OF COVERS
 MAIN INFLUENCE Prices Close At Net Gain of 5 to 10 POints-MOre
 Bearish Comment

New Orleans, March 4.-Buying of covers by shorts who wanted their profits was the main supporting in- huence in the cotton market today, and it closed prices at a net gain of to 10 points. The close was within a point or two of the highest. Comment of the day was more bear ish than otherwise and only small buy ing for long account was in evidence. Bearish claims were chiefly in regard to ginning returns, although consider able attention was paid to the dullness
 and lower tendency in the spot mar kets.
 In the early part of the session brol<- CTS had large volume of selling or- ders to handle, but these did not have
 much influence betause of the demand
 from satisfied shorts. Buying by bulls was chiefly of the newer positions,
 which were steady and we'll maintained
 at a small advance in face of rains in
 Texas which were considered to be very favorable for farm work.
