NEW HIGH LEVELS REACHED BY COTTON Buying Stimulated Chiefly By the News From
 LiveryO0l

New Orleans March 17.-New high levels for the season were reached on the cotton market today as the result of buying stimulated chiefly by news from Liverpool. July went over the e-cent mark for the first time, touching sol. while December sold up to $50 At their best prices were to Il points over yes- terday's close. Heavy realizing of prof its by the long side met the rise arpl checked it. In the afternoon the market had tendency to react rather strongly and the close was at net gain for the session of to points.
 Not only did Liverpool stand better than due on futures, but it reported spot sales of 15,O00 bales while private mes sages stated that both Russian and Egyp- tan houses were heavy buyers in tha. market. Private estimates placed the re- ducuon Of cotton acreage in Egypt at 50 per cent. Manchester reports were favorable and were accepted as meaning that mills were well under orders and were in an independent position regarding new business.
 The one bearish argument of importance was that the continued rise would have the effect of causing a much larger area than has been thought advisable to be planted to cotto nthis spring in to be planted to cotton this spring in donhtedly was caused by the fear of such development

WHEAT VALUES
 ARE UNSETTLED
Prices Come N0ticeably Un- der the Shadow of the
 New Crop

Chicago. March 1s,-Splendid crop prom ise on a big acreage had much to do with large wheat Values were unsettled at the close. which was ssuAise under last night, Other net declines were Corn. &qsse; oats, 'saa.dtssc, and provisions. 7ia @10a22isc.
 Bearish cable news and slaclSness of export call tended to discourage wheat buyers before prices came noticeably un- der the shadow of tho new crop, but ranicrs of large flour orders from Italy and Holland brought about something of rally Just before the days wind-up.
 Fine weather weakened corn demand.
 Miscellaneous holders unloaded oats. On the ensuing break, however. there was evidence of renewed cash call from the seaboard.
 Provisions swung down with hogs and grain.

BAND CONCERT

The band concert given last night at the Opera House by the Fort Smith Cadet Band for the benefit of the Ozark Merchants Band, was a splendid success, despite the fact that their best soloist and several other mem bers of the band were unable to come, and that an epidemic of lagrippe and colds prevented as large audience as was expected
 The music was the very best, confirming in every number the good reputation of the Fort Smith Cadet Band. The selec- tions were especially appropriate for the size of the building etc.
 There were 20 members of the Fort Smith Band here. Ex- penses were between $45 and $50 and the proceeds were over $50.
 While the profits were not as large as hoped for we believe that the interest aroused in the local band will be well worth the trouble the home boys went to.
