CLOSE FROM 1 ID
 3O POINTS HIGHER
Relatively Firm Cables, Fa- vorable Foreign Trade Ac-
 counts Responsible

New York. March S0.-Cotton was more
 or less excited today with old crop posi-
 tions making new high ground for the
 movement on renewed covering, or bull
 support. May contracts led the advance,
 selling at 1251c or 2s points above Satur-
 days close, and s5 points above July.
 Realizing caused moderate reactions in
 the late trading, but the close was steady
 and from l to 30 points net higher.
 Relatively firm cables, favorable for eign trade accounts, and bullish over-Sun- day advices from southern spot markets
 were considered chiefly responsible for the opening of from to 12 points. Lead- ing spot interests sold enough March to
 supply a scattering demand at the pre- vaiing premium over May. but bought May against these sales, and there was also an active demand for May from I foreign and local sources. Profit taking checked the advance from time to time ! and caused slight recessions but offerings l failed to increase materially on the set | backs, which seemed to increase the | nervousness of the May shorts.
 l At any rate, the general tendency or | the market was upward, until In the | afternoon active old crop positions sold about II to 2s points net higher. Later
 deliveries were relatively quiet, but ruled steady with the old crop strength, and | on apprhensions that unsettled weather 1 predicted for the belt might cause further delays in farm work. October and December contracts sold some to points net higher, but reacted with the rest of | the list on late trading.
 l Private cables reported that India was | an active buyer of cotton goods in Man l chester and that prices of both yarns and cloths were advancing. The eonti- l nent also was said to have been a good l buyer of new crop months in Liverpool l this morning, and mail advices claim that l foreign spinners have buying orders in l the English market for delivery in 1916 | and 1917 at 5.s0d and below.

SPECULATION AT A STATE 0F DEADLOCK
However, Lehigh Valley and New Haven Lead Re
 covery in Afternoon

New York March 9.-Speculation reached a state of deadlock today. The slow decline in progress last week was halted, but little else was accomplished. The lack of public demand for stocks and the downward trend of prices caused traders to take the short side in the early dealings. Professional pressure was s1ot severe. After noon a recovery set fin.
 Lehigh Valley and New Haven led the upturn of the afternoon. Amalgamated also developed strength and in the late session the Western railroad stocks moved upward smartly, so that at the close a number of issues showed gains ever, was slight.
 North American extended its recent large gain. Studebaker and Goodrich were strong on reports of increased busi- ness. A few specialties gave way sharply. Tobacco stocks once more weakened on the prospect of an antitrust suit against the tobacco companies dis tributing agent. oil shares also were Ander pressure, with heaviest in Mexican petroleum issues.
 The late advance in the Western rail- road shares followed publication of St. Paul's February report. which was in contrast with the poor statements oi other large systems for last month There was an increase of s115,000 in nei earnings, although the gross fell off S419,000. Southern reported shrinkage of $24S, 900 in February net revenue.
 Despite the cash shown in the bank statements of Saturday in place of the \ expected gain, and notwithstanding the preparati tions for the quarterly payments to be made on April l. the money mar ket reflected continued ease. Time rates and commercial discounts again were shaded slightly.
 London's market was dull as tht New York exchange, and foreign rpe resentatives did little here. A few or ders were executed. all of them on ths 61uying side and amounting to about 700( shares.
 Bonds reflected mild pressure in spots Total sales, 1,960, 900. United States bond: were unchanged on call

BULLISH FIGURES
 SUSTAIN MARKET
Unsettled Weather, Nerv. ousness of May Shorts,
 Etc., Figure

New orleans March so.-Continued un. settled weather over the cotton region. nervousness of May shorts and reports of a large business in Manchester were bullish features that sustained the cotton market today. The May option led in the advance and at the highest stood n points up. The other active months at the highest were s to II points up. The close was to 12 up a steady tone
 The weather forecast promised little change in conditions Telegrams from Texas Mississippi Arkansas and Louisi- ana point out that farm work was heins delayed by too much rain. Buyers zound offerings scanty and May shorts who wanted to cover bid prices upon thems selves. Large acreage talk. offset to some extent the effect of weather news on new crop months

 further one stimulated Its prices beyond

 New crops failed to improve equally,
 although the weather conditions are not
 wholly favorable and there is disposi- ton to buy them on any recession. The earlier deliveries are affected by
