STOCKS SEEM ID 1 IGNORE THE WAR Trading Is Very Light and
 Prices Are We'll
 Maintained

New York. March 2.-On the surface at east. today's stock market appeared to Erore the latest turn to European events md its possible effect on American for sign trade. Trading was very light, but prices were we'll maintained in the better known issues, some of the eastern rail- ways gaining to points, with reces- sions in the later dealings. Specialties were increasingly prominent, especially motor shares, but the utter absence of investment demand was again striking feature.
 There was a renewal, on a moderate scale, of the recent selling for foreign ac- fount, chiefly in the bond division. and quoted values in some high grade issues showed concessions. Exchange markets were more steady. except in Germany and Italy, the better tone being due, it was believed to the German-Austro em- bargo.
 In the final hour there was precipd- tate decline in the stock and 4 per cent bonds of Distil1ers' securities, each break ing about 5 points. This was preceded by greater heaviness in the grain markets, which rallied slightly at the close.
 The uncertain state of the copper in- ouiry was shown by the varying atti- tude adopted by some of the producing companies in their dividend policies. one of which restored it's regular rate of dis bursement. while others deferred action or made reductions. In the steel trade process of certain specialties were ad- vanced.
 Erie reported gain in net for January of $3S3 600, and Canadian Pacific and Ches- apeake and Ohio managed to cut operat- ing expenses to the extent of yielding moderate net returns, but Seaboard Air Line reflected it's recent heaviness with a loss of g. .000. GOO New York Central was firm on its favorable statement issued after the close of yesterdays market
 London's markets were steady on inn provement in the ship labor situation and reduction of marine rates. Canadian Pa cifc and Union Pacific reflected moderate irouiry.
 The local bond market was irregular. speculative low priced issues declining sharply. Total sales, par value, were e2,077. 900.
 U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

The Mines of Spain

FrOm the CnlcagO Journal.
 More than one-third of the quick silver produced in the world last year came from the mines of Spain. Those mines were worked centuries before Christ, and they seem good for cen turies more. Other quicksilver sup plies are discovered. exploited for q time and exhausted, but no bottom has been found to the veins of Spanish cinnabar.
 Many high authorities hold that other mineral resources of Spain are quite as splendid fin proportion as her su. premacy in the production of mercury Spanish iron ore is sometimes shipped to the United States, yet the mines are said to be worked in very clumsy ineffective fashion. It is even claimed that the coal supplies of the peninsu- lar are superior to those of any other part of the continent, but these, again are managed in a careless, indolent, un- scientific manner

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 2.-(Special. )-The ad- vance today in face of the action of the allied powers yesterday was a great sur prise to the trade. It is due to the fact that so far as Germany is concerned it has been practically blockaded since Au- gust l. What amount of cotton has gone to the neutral countries for the account of spinners in Austria and Germany Is un- known, but probably a large amount has reached them before this. If anyone had been told in August that the exports to date would have been as large as they are, he would not have believed it.
 Today there were further offers from the south, and little demand from few sellers.

 "A Marvel of Progress" is the way in which the recently completed double track of the l.. N. from Birmingham to Decatur, Ala. has been designated It is a marvel of progress because 1t enables engine to do the work formerly required of two zines.

COTTON RECOVERS
 RECENT LOSSES New York Close at Net Ad- vance of IA to Is
 N Points

New York, March e.--Cotton more than recovered yesterdays losses during to- days trading, with the close firm at a net advance of II to IS points.
 There was a renewal of scattering liquidation at the start and after opening at a decline of to points active posi- tions sold about points under last nights closing figures. Liverpool was good buyer on this decline, however. supposed iy for the purpose of undoing straddles. while offerings were by no means heavy and prices soon rallied.
 The absence of hedge selling or any other indication that yesterdays foreign news had weakened the viewes of spot holders. encouraged fresh buying for long account, as prices worked higher and while the Liverpool demand was with drawn after the close of the English markets, prices here continued to ad- vance, reaching the highest point In the late trading.
 Last prices were within point of the best. The talk around the floor reflected more or less nervousness over shipping conditions, but bulls showed more conf dence in the late trading and claimed that the failure of yesterdays news to cause greater weakness must have re- flected pretty well liquidated market.
 New Orleans was a buyer here on the advance and there was also some demand from trade interests who evidently found comparatively few contracts for sale In the absence of hedging. The bullish show ing of tho semi-weeSly interior figures. in dicating a. sharp falling off, and reports of an increased business in the southern spot markets at well maintained prices probably helped the late advance.

TRADE IN COTTON
 BROADENS OUT New Orleans Market Shows Firmness and Prices
 Make Advance

New Orleans. March 2-Trading in cot ton broadened out today. the market be- came active and firm and prices made an advance which surprised even those who have been expecting higher values. The close was at practically the best of the session, a net gain of 16 to 1s points. This was 21 to 25 points up from the lowest
 The lowest levels came in the early trading. Selling on and immediately after the first call brought about a decline of to points. This was based on the actions of the allies regarding the con- merce of Germany. The advance follow ing so closely the announcement of the proposed measures was one of the sur prises of the>season.
 The rise was made possible by the large short interest and by the steady buying which has met every small de- cline for days past. Many rumors were circulated during the day concerning the progress of the war which were retarded as favorable and which stimulated buying on the part of both bulls and bears. Chief among these was the story that the al- lies had met with fresh successes in the Dardanelles and the report that a Turk ish prince had advised the Sultan to make peace with the allies.
 Spot markets were stronger and import ant points quoted advanced prices. which helped stiffen the market for futures in the last half hour of business.
