ADVANCE IN NEW
 ORLEANS COTTON Unexpected Strength Devel- ops and Prices Reach
 New High Levels

New Orleans. March 20.-Unexpected strength developed in the cotton market today and prices advanced sharply al- most to the highest levels of the week on buying which started with western traders, but which became general be- fore the session was very old No at tention was paid to the unfavorable fea- lures of the morning. At their best the most active months were 12 to 13 points over yesterdays final figures. The close was at net gain of Ii to IS points
 Liverpool was well below expectations and the final ginning returns from the censusu bureau of 16.6i5,2I2 bales, counr- ing cotton and lnters together, were larger than most bears expected. Not withstanding this the market opened at the advance and stood at the advance all the morning. Fresh long buying ap- peared late in the session and shorts cov- cred in confusion throughout
 1t was generally considered that the support was of a speculative character and offered to avert the reaction which seemed impending.

THE COTTON MARKET EXHIBITS STRENGTH In Face of Greatest Crop Ever Made, Market
 Is Steady

New York, March 20.-In face of gin- ming figures that were very close to ex- 'pectations and pointed to crop of around 100000 bales, including linters. cotton today showed such pronounced strength that October equalled it's pre- vious high record point and January made a new high level for the movement. The close was steady at net advance ot 10 to 1s points.
 Liverpool came somewhat lower than due and was responsible for partial opening decline here of points. After easing off point or two further on near months, the local market hardened and was under bull control for the balance of the session.
 Stock exchange houses covered consid- erable cotton and there was rather ag- gressive spot buyers from bull traders at times which showed an absence of any alarm over the indications for a record breaking crop.
 Advices from the south indicated that spot people appeared to be equally un- concerned over the question of supplies and the feeling here seemed to be that the prospective material reduction in acre. age and uncertain weather conditions. with export demand and political news from abroad would be of more vital con- oern to the market from now on than the size of the past crop.
 Foreign holdings in this market are said to be confined chiefly to July and October cotton. Near the close western houses and local spot interests were good buyers and southern reports showed no changes in spot markets, indicating possibly a steadier tone than yesterday.

The Strength of Habit

From the Toledo Blade.
 It was Carlyle. We believe. who re- marked the narrow orbit of great events While mobs were tearing at the stones of the Bastile, groups of men in other parts of Paris haggled over copper coins, quarreled over the depredatlons of house cats, discussed poetry and philosophy or matched predictions on the weather. The fall of the Bastile was to echo down the ages. But the world of accustomed ways continued it's way unchecked.
 An American. lately returned from Eu- rope, reports that the most astonishing thing about the war to him was tho ab- sence of signs of war
 When you travel by rail if you did not know that war was in the country you would never suspect it unless you wondered why a red-hatted, biue-coated guard, with a rifle earelessy swung over his shoulder, was noticeable now and then by cross-road or near the buttress of an important railroad bridge.

BETHLEHEM STEEL SHOWSSTRENGTR Specialties to the Fore in New York Stock

New York, March 20.-Speeialties were again to the fore. During sodays two-hour market session the activity and strength of Bethlehem Steel was the most noteworthy feature It's sales aggregated about 25,ooo shares and its Top figure and new record price be- ing 6s, representing a maximum ad- vance of almost 10 points from yes- terdays low price. Profit taking caused some shading from it's high level, with a net gain of points.
 Motor shares also participated to a considerable degree in the general rise, their gains extending from 1 10 6 points. despite a revival of criticism In conservative circles. Department stores issues National Lead and Amer ican Can trailed along with these more speculative specialties, while the sea- soned dividend stocks and erstwhile market leaders rose only fractionally. In the railway division Canadian Pa cific and New Haven were the only shares to gain point or more. uni- ted States Steel took second place to Bethlehem Steel throughout the ses- sion and closed with a material frac- tional advance.
 London's market seemed to ignore the news from the Dardanelles, the various home issues showing but lit tie loss on moderate selling. Contrary to its usual course, Canadian Pacific was more inclined to heaviness than any other stock in the International list
 The local bank statement met gem eral expectations, showing an actual cash gain of about $11,000,000, excess reserves increasing by almost s10,- 100000.
 Bonds were steady except New York e. s.f. ! at concessions. Total sales, par value, $1.213,O00.
