DAYS TRADING SMALL,
WITH A NARROW RANGE
Bethlehem Steel Furnishes Feature
in Rising to New High
Record.
General List Irregular, With No
Special Trend in Any Direction.
Undertone Fairly Good.

NEW YORK. March 17-1ndecision
was the keynote of today's early STOCK
market, the principal issues showing
little change from yesterdays reac-
tionary tendency.
Reading, whose directors meet today
for dividend action. recorded an initial
decline of q from yesterdays close, but
soon recovered.
United States Steel and some of the
motor stocks were lower. while Beth
lehem Steel rose to 5S1:. a new high
record.
Trading was small, with a narrow
range.
London forwarded the usual number
of declines in the International list.
The list improved toward midday. after
further irregularity in Canadian Pacific
and some of the speclalties.
Leaders Show More Animation.
Reading rose full point above its low
quotation and the leaders displayed lit
tie more animation, but trading as
whole was in decreasing volume.
Arrival of another consignment Of gold
from Canada and indications of additional
improvement from other sources were
among the incidents of the early session.
Naval news from abroad seemed to ex-
cite little interest
Bonds were irregular, Northern Pacific
is advancing, despite further heavy sales.
Chicago and Eastern Illinois 5s added four
points to their recent five-point decline.
Lehigh Imparts Firmness.
Declaration of the regular Lehigh Val
ley dividend impaired further flrmness to
prices in the early afternoon
Trading was largely confined to the
specialties, however. particularly Beet
Sugar and Mexican Petroleum.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, March 17.-Llverpool
again showed sensational strength,
and the cotton market here opened at
an advance of 9 to IL points in conse-
quence. with July and all later de-
ltveries making new high records for
trtbnted to houses with German con-
nections and more or less general
realizing prevented a full response to
the English strength, however, and
prices eased off several points from the
best after the opening. Private cables
attributed the advance abroad to con-
tinued active buying by France and
small offerings.
Futures opened steady. March, $40;
May, 9-02: July, $50; October, 961; De-
cember, 9.77
Rather heavy realizing was absorbed
on comparatively moderate reaction
during the early trading, and the mar
ket became quiet after the close of
Liverpool, with prices ruling steady
and about 5 to points net higher.
NEW ORLEANS.
NEW ORLEANS, March 17.-cotton
rose 9 to 10 points in the first half
to new high levels for the season.
Buying was based on the rise in Liv-
erpool. heavy spot trading there and
private estimates of a reduction of 80
per cent in the Egyptian cotton
acreage.
Futures opened steady March. $50:
May, SIS; July, 500; October, S.31; De-
cember. 9.47
At level 9 to II points up the rise
was checked by offerings from satisfied
longs who wanted profits. Toward noon
prices were points up
