CLOSE |S STEADY
 BUT AT 4 LOSS
Reports From European War Effect New York
 Cotton Market

New York. March 1.-Cotton was ex- tremely nervous and unsettled today with prices breaking sharply after the publication of London cables indicating the allies had determined to prevent ship ments of all commodities to or from Ger man ports. The close was steady. but at a net loss of from to points.
 Cables were relatively steady. but after opening at an advance of points to a decline of point, the local market eased off under selling which appeared to come largely from Liverpool sources. This was accompanied by predictions that the pol icies determined upon by the allies would result in a widening of the differences be- tween New York and Liverpool. and was consequently attributed to fresh opera tion on the part of straddlers.
 Otherwise offerings were light, and after showing net loss of or points, the market steadied on the continued heavy export movement. trade buying and cov- ering. Support of this sort became more active early In the afternoon. and the first version of the British empargo an- nouncement indicating that it applied only to foodstuffs sent prices about to 10 points net higher. This was followed very quickly by other reports indicating that the cotton was included in the Brit ish statement and there was break of nearly 20 points in prices, with active months selling from 10 to 13 points net lower
 Trade interests were moderate buyers of the decline, and after thu first rush of liquidation fluctuations became irreg- ular, with last prices showing rallies of some f or points from the lowest.

.F|RMNESS SHOWN
 BY STOCK MARKET
January Earnings of Penn sylvania Railroad Most
 Unfavorable Feature

New York, March 1.-Considerable firm less was shown by today's stock mar Let, despite the injection of new and cpfavorable developments here and abroad. Trading lost none of it's profess sicnal character and prices showed little change until late in the session, when the cables told of England's decision to declare an absolute embargo on all ship nents to and from Germany.
 Anticipation of this move was seen in the markets for foreign exchange, all ol which were again unsettled, with acute weakness in remittances to Germany. France, Italy and Switzerland. There was also increased selling of American bends for future delivery, most of which was traceable to German sources. Thess offerings. however made no impression on quoted values.
 The most unfavorable feature so far as domestic conditions were concerne, was found in the January earnings of the Pennsylvania railroad. On it's lines ca st of Pittsburg a net decrease of s277v, was shown; west of Pittsburg the loss amounted to s7S0.000 These figures wer, accepted as an index of conditions in the steel industry. The Illinois Centra road, by pruning it's expense account made a substantial net increase.
 Industrials were more active than rail- road shares, and specialties again absorb e'l 3 large share of attention, with gain; of to ? points in the speculative is sues. Coppers made further favorabl. response to the recent advance in the metal and reports of large February sales. The days new minimums inclu. cd Louisville and Nashville. which d, clined points to 1.10; American locomo- tive preferred, to 7s, and American ex- press to S3 points.
 For the first time in several weeks aovices from the middle west indicated Hull in activity railway tonnage being lighter and movements of general mer- cEandise showing slight decrease. Mt ney rates in that section as well as locally showed further tendency ru relax.
 Two small imports of American gold were received from London. the metal having been acquired. according to re- ports, at the low rates of the past fort night.
 Dealings in bonds were on a larger scale, with fair maintenance of the price level. Total sales par value) aggre- gated s2.242.oc0

From the Christian Herald.
 There are 100oOo.oo0 children in China under 10 years of age. One wonders how tLere are so many remaining, for multi tuoes oi children die off through expos ure. i'll care, starvation and disease. Hun dreds of thousands of these children live i the Chinese saInpans. which ply the rivers and throng the water fronts of tho great cities. For generations these boat n'en knew no other home than these boats. In case of babies, a rope is at tached under their arms and if they slip over the side of the sampan into tho wa- ter they are fished out the best way pos- sible.
 But life is plenty and cheap in China. How much then is a man better than a sheep?' Not much better in China A friend of mine. a Brooklyn judge, who arrived late at the daily public execu- ton in Canton. and who could only stay for the day. was. told that for S10 they would secure special victim to satisfy the Americans curiosity. And they pro- ceeded to find a man who for the sake of his family was willing to barter his life for s1o. Of course, he got the SD and his life.

ALMOST KNOCKOUT
 BLOW ID WHEAT
Blockade Measures Cause Heavy Decline and Ex-
 cited Close

Chicago, March 1.-Blockade meas ures not equalled in a century gave almost a knockout blow today to a wheat market staggering from terrific selling due to signs that unlimited Rus sian shipments might soon be coming through the Dardanelles.
 After breaks that reached 71ac. prices closed excited at 5% @6ssc under Satur- day night. Other net losses were: Corn. 2ss@29sc to 2ss@sAc, oats, 2ss te2Sc and provisions. 121a @22iec.
 Corn suffered from the depression of wheat Many stop loss orders were caught on the decline.
 Oats for a while seemed to have more strength than other grain. Per sistent liquidation, though, finally forced down prices
 Free selling was the rule in aroyi- sions as well as in grain.

From the Houston Chronicle.
 A rich New Yorker had been giving some East Side street urchins a day ut the beach once year the feature of the trip being an ocean bath.
 As the patron stood by the car watching the happy little fellows get on. he noticed one especially dirty little boy, and said: How is it you are so dirty son?'
 '.A7lease. sir" answered the boy. T missed the car for the beach last year."
