 Liverpool was relatively steady be-

 Prices soon weakened under renewal of yesterdays selling movement, but after showing net loss of to 6

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

New York. March 5.--cotton has been very nervous and irregular during the week. but a sharp break on the announce ment that the allies would endeavor to prevent shipments of all commodities to Germany and Austria. was followed by a rally owing to the continued steadiness of southern spot markets and continued predictions of sharp decrease in the coming acreage.
 Increased arrivals of consigned cotton here from the south and the fixing of differences on some grades of tinged and stained cotton have been accompanied by rather heavy selling by one or two of the larger spot interests. Otherwise. however, there has been very little selling att tributed to the hedging of spot supplies, and the continued absence of such pres sure has doubtless encouraged some fresh buying by investors as we'll as covering of shorts on declines,
 Notwithstanding the comparatively steady ruling of prices. general business has been very much restricted Marine

STOCKS ATTAIN
 HIGHEST LEVEL Best Prices of the Week Reached During Yester-
 days Session

New York. March 5.--Stocks attained their highest level of the week today on buying of a comprehensive and confident Character. The rise was occasionally inter- rupted by realizing for profits which, however. had little effect on prices, the more material gains being recorded in the final dealings. Trading was in ex- cess of recent sessions and commission houses reported an awakening of invest ment demand, although the inquiry from this source was moderate at most.
 Conspicuous among the strong issues were the coalers, transcontinentals and grangers, trunk lines, [. s. Steel, Ameri- can Smelling, National Lead, Amalga- mated Copper and some of the less active stocks. Average advances ran from l to points, Canadian Pacific and New Haven scoring greatest gains.
 Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway shares and 41a per cent bonds were weak on extensive offerings, which were at tribrted to Europe, these Issues being largely held in Holland. The company has a large amount of notes maturing on May l, and some apprehension Is felt ss to its ability to meet this payment. Other issues which failed to participate in the general advance included Maxwell motors, first and second preferred, inter national Harvester, and Baldwin locomo- tive.
 ThereAwere no outward developments to account for the days movement, foreign conditions showing little change. The markets for foreign excnange exn:oited greater firmness, remittances to Ger many being steadied, according to report, by purchases of bills against the new war loan, which is being privately sub soribed to in this country. The British war loan rate was harder in London. .o1f 1a1 fx sag.

CONDITIONS ARE
 VERY MUCH MIXED
Total Business Transactions Below Normal, Says
 Dun's Review

New York. March 5.-Duns review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Conditions in business are very much mixed. Total transactions are still be-
 low those of recent years. There is a large attendance of retail distributors in the textile markets and they buy often. but as a rule. in comparatively small lots for immediate needs. and keep their stocks low. Many of the cotton mills are running on full time and there is
 satisfactory business in clothing.
 some Improvement is noted in the shoa industry. but conditions are still far from
 normal shipbuildng Is very active. Large sales are reported of automobiles.
 Commodity prices generally are lower. Conditions in anthracite coal are better.
 but the bituminous situation is unsatis- ia actorY.
 Exports continue very neavy noswrfn- standing the risks of shipping, During the last week of February there was a trade balance for the United States of nearly S20, ,0oo000 while for the last three months 1t amounts to $4ll ,ooo.000. Evi- dcnce accumuates of a transferance of financial power and commercial oppor- tunities to the United States from the walring nations across the Atlantic. and that the International exchanges will favor this country to such an extent that there will be a heavy balance in our favor.
 not merely in merchandise as usual. but in the entire aggregate of foreign trans actions.
 Bank olearings for the week total sS- l 1sAsSt. TIT. decrease of 1.2 per cent. as 1 compared with tho same week last year. | Commercial failures for the week num- | her 45S against $50 the correspondin- week a year ago. In Canada the failures I for the week were si compared with 4s wear ago.
