GERMAN ATTITUDE GIVEN THE CREDIT Rise In Stocks Is Thought Due to Berlin's Re-
 cent Note

New York, March 3-For want of some more definite or specific reason. Wall street was disposed to attribute today's further rise in stocks to Berlins ac- ceptance of Washington's proposals re- garding the regulation of this country's exports to Europe. At any rate, the market. which opened with some irreg- ularity, soon became strong in most of its branches and gathered greater inn petus as the session progressed. In the final dealings profit-talxing and renewal of bear pressure caused some recessions from the top level but the closing was strong, with an unusually large number of material net gains. Trading was more diversified than in recent days, but speculative favorites led the movement throughout, United States Steel, Reading and the seasoned dividend payers con tributing over 10 per cent of the whole:
 Specialties moved in contrary fashion, some showing substantial advances, while others fell back correspondingly. This was exemplified in a 20-point rise in general Chemical and an 1S-point de- cline in Harvester corporation preferred.
 The strength of Steel and allied shares was accounted for by the February rec ord of the trade. although 1t seemed a debatable question whether the current month was keeping pace with its prede- cessor. Pig iron production showed a tendency to fall under last months fig ures, and higher prices for finished prod ucts are being made with caution The instability of the copper markets was reflected in sharp break in London.
 Long time money was easier, half year loans being made at 3A per cent and call loans were made at the surprisingly low rate of 1A per cent Foreign ex- change markets were irregular. with a cessation of the recent unsettled condi- tions.
 Among the numerous railway returns for January, New Haven reported a net increase of $607, 600. Boston and Maine S264, ,O00, and Northern Pacific very slight increase. Reading lost $S25,0o0 and Louisville and Nashville $155,000.
 Bonds as whole advanced in the face of increased offerings for European ac- count. Missouri Pacific issues showed especial strength. Total sales (par value) were s2,S60,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

 The outward movement of the crop during February surprised oven those who made high estimates. Few estimates were over l.25o,ooo bales, while many traders thought it would be under the million mark, since February usually is a dull month and this year shippers were more or less hampered hy developments in European waters.

MORE F|RMNESS SHOWN BY COTTON New York Close At Net Ad- vance of 13 to 15
 Points

New York. March 3.-Cotton showed renewed firmness today and closed steady at a net advance of IS to 15 points.
 Liverpool did not fully meet yes- terday's American gains. but after opening to 8 points higher prices here quickly sold some S to II points above last nights closing figures on a renewal of yesterdays buying move ment. This advance carried the market some 30 to 35 points above the low level of yesterday and attracted con siderable realizing, while there was also heavy selling here for Liverpool account.
 Prices reacted several points in con- sequence, but the selling tapered off after the close of the English market and the market firmed up again. reach- ing the best point of the day in the late trading. when active months sold 10 to Is points net higher.
 Houses with New Orleans and other southern connections were considerable buyers here. while there was also a good deal of covering or rebuying by old longs.
 Buyers seemed to find very few con tracts offering on the afternoon ad- vance owing to the continued absence of hedge selling, but notwithstanding the firm showing of the market, the talk around the floor reflected very nervous feeling with reference to the export situation and there were ru- mors that some cotton shippers were trying to relet ocean freight room.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.,s Letter

New York, March 3.-(Special. )-No desire was shown by the south to sell their cotton on the lower markets caused by the action of the allies in restricting ocean commerce. On the contrary, there has appeared a small investment demand which absorbed the local offerings and the arbitrage sell- ing by Liverpool houses. That trading has been transferred to them by the provisions of the Lever bill
 With little better feeling in Wall street, brought about by the purchase of the European offerings of bonds by many scattered investors, the mar ket became firm in the afternoon, showing 8 Change in the local senti- ment, which had been looking for weaker southern markets because of higher rates of insurance.
