snags and also some severe criticism
from his newspaper friends. His de-

in five rounds was sent all over the
country as a knockout. but from all
accounts Woigast's manager tossed the
towel In when he saw that Ad was

to keep an engagement in New York
a few nights afterward, and the same cut
was the cause Of stopping the contest
again. AS a result Ad was suspended
by the New York commission Some
reports announced that whitney was
newcomer and promising. The fact is
Frank has been boxing for the last
eight years and is one year older than
Wolgast. whitney Is a tough light
weight at that and hard for any of
them to beat. Woigast should either
retire for good or, il he intends boxing
again, should be compelled to train
properly and report for his contests in

THE BIRMINGHAM AGEHERAID, SATURDAY, MARCH H. 1916
MARKET WEAKENS
 UNDER LIQUIDATION
Prices Broke Sharply on Re- ports That Troops Had
 Crossed the Border

New York, March 1O.-The cotton mar ket was nervous and irregular today with sentiment more or less unsettled by the Mexican developments or apprehen- sions that the reported sinking of a French steamer might cause a further advance in marine war risks. May con- tracts, sold off to 11.s3c early, rallied to il 93c broke to 11.S0c and closed at n.S7c, with the geenral list closing steady at a net decline of to 4 points. There ap- peared to be quite a few overnight buy ing orders around the ring at the start, and while opening prices showed de- cline of a point or two the near months, later deliveries were to points higher.
 Liverpool did not fully meet yesterdays local gains, however. and the market here almost immediately weakened under liquidation by some of yesterdays buy CTS. and Wall street selling, which ap- peared to be partly inspired by renewed nervousness over international affairs. There was also some selling by southern spot interests, and the active months worked about to points lower before the end of the first hour, with July con tracts selling at 12c. OnerlngS appear to have been pretty well absorbed at this decline, and the market steadied up dur ing the middle of the day on covering and New Orleans buying, while bullish southern spot advices encouraged re- newal of local support which carried the market or 5 points above last night s closing figures, with July selling at 12.l2c, or back to within a point of yesterday best leve'.
 The demand then sackened, following reports that troops had been ordered to cross the Mexican border and prices broke rather sharply during the after noon. with July selling down to 11.99c under renewed liquidation. The close showed rallies of several points from the lowest on covering, with the tone steadied by the bullish average of the news reach ing here from southern spot markets.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF COTTON MARKET Improvement Due to More Favorable International
 Situation

New York, March 1o.-The cotton mar ket has shown a distinctly steadier tone during the past week. An advance to F o6c for July was checked on Tuesday by the appearance of scattered southern selling here, which suggested that spot holders were taking advantage of the rally to hedge part of their cotton, but these offerings soon tapered off, and the market developed renewed firrnness
 covering of shorts, trade buying &ee scattering demand, which seemed
 fleet some little improvement in tho
 eral average of sentiment. This scen advance carried July contracts rp e F 13c during yesterdays trading oI
 about SS.50 per bale above the low
 reached on the break toward the of February. A more favorable vfef international politics doubtless encn aged buying on the strengthened te nicas position which had developed as se result of recent active liquidation, wh advance was also promoted by ind tH tions of renewed resistance on the fela of southern holders, talk of an improved spot demand, rumors of freer offerings for ocean tonnage, and rather a less bear ish view of acreage prospects Reports were received from Oklahoma indicating that there was likely to be a material increase of acreage in that state. but there were numbers of advices from Texas suggesting that the planters there will either decrease or only moderately increase the amount of land devoted to cotton. and there have also been reports of very small fertilizer sales in the east ern belt. Prospects for some increases are reported from Georgia, but such advices have been accompanied by claims that the increase will be offset by the spread Of the boil weevil and smaller yields per acre. Reports from the domestic goods trade have remained very encouraging, and part of the trade buying here has been attributed to domestic spinners, who are said to see a very large profit on their forward business at present prices for raw material. Rumors that German spinners were in the southern markets for large amount of cotton to be shipped at the end of the war have not been confirmed but an improved demand has been reported from Russia and Japan and sentiment here at the end of the week appeared to be fluctuationg between the immediate steadiness of the southern markets and apprehensions of increased spot offerings on advances, while there was still more or less nervousness over international affairs.

COTTON DECLINES ON
 MEXICAN SITUATION
Spot Demand Gave Market Underlying Strength, But
 Closed at a Loss

New Orleans, March 1O.-Although ;t continued spot demand gave the local cotton market underlying strength today, considerable uneasiness was felt over po- litical conditions, and towards the close scalping longs took profits on liberal scale, which resulted in closing the ses- sion at a. net loss of to 3 points. Cables were high enough on the opening but. nevertheless, around the first call prices were to points up. The report of the sinking of the French steamer Lou isianne, out of this port with cotton for Havre caused fear of fresh interna tional complications and selling resulted under which values fell away to a level [ to s points under yesterdays last quotations. On this decline the spot demand made itself felt and a quick bulge put prices IA to >16 points up from the lowest and 6 to points over yesterdays close. Later the market reacted.
 Opinion was not we'll settled regarding Mexican developments. By some brokers and traders it was feared the situation would act against the market, but others argued that extensive disturbances along the border would deplete the supply of labor in Texas and thereby work against the Texas crop.

BULL|SH REPORTS
 STRENGTHEN WHEAT
Upward Impetus Given the Market by Higher Liv-
 pool Quotations

Chicago, March 10.-Scantiness of ship ments to Europe from the southern hem isphere tended today to strengthen the wheat market here. Largely in. conse- quence, values closed firm at A1ssc to 7sc net advance, with May 1Ts4c and July 11ssc. Other leading staples, too, all showed gains-corn slG1c; oats, 5s@%c to %c. and provisions 10d27c.
 Higher quotations from Liverpool gave the first upward impetus to the price of wheat in Chicago. The chief reason as signed for the British advance was that the forwarding of supplies from Argentine had proved disappointingly small, being still much under the total at the corre- spending time last year. It was explained that the movement from Argentina had been hampered by a continued scarcity of vessels However, some exporters here and at Duluth were said to be reselling because of inability to obtain railroad cars. Another element which influenced a temporary reaction from the early strength was supplemental Washington report that showed as much as Al, ,0o0,- 900 bushels yet on hand in country mills and elevators.
 Late rallies which took place in the wheat market were based principally on bullish advices from Australia and on word from the Atlantic seaboard that ex- port buying had been renewed. The fact developed that Australian shipments in- stead of being enlarged, as had been looked for, were only equal to about half of last weeks aggregate. On the other hand the new export business from the United States and Canada was estimated at 9O0,000 bushels Bullish crop reports from the soft winter states counted also toward evoking frmness in the last part of the session.
 Corn received support owing in the main to sensational advances in the price of hogs Besides, receipts were light and prospects were for continued decrease in arrivals. Oats paralleled the action of corn. Eastern demand was fair
 Hog prices climbing out of sight on &C., count of the European war, exhausting the available domestic supply of hogs put provisions on the jump. Despite profit taking by holders liberal share of the advance was maintained at the close.
 Future quotations were as follows:

of their huge straddle short interest in our markets was undoing the Liv- erpool long end of 1t. Inasmuch as this straddle was said to have az gregated 1,500,000 bales. the continual pressure of this amount of selling would be considerable. All Of the weekend figures were not available for analysis in this letter, but what were received indicated a bullish show ing Exports for the day were 50,9S3.
 The market, after the early strength which carried prices to new highs for the present movement, seemed to meet hedge selling. Hubbard, Weld, Gwath- mey, Herklotz and Liverpool houses were the sellers and the buyers were scattered around the ring. New Or that market has led New York for several days.
 The exceedingly brisk spot demand is the real cause of the strength, some sections reporting the best basis since the holidays. If this continues there is no question but what the sentiment, which averages bearish, will become more friendly to the market. Dallas re- ported sales of 13,000 bales to Russia and Japan and all interior markets re- ported good business at the best limits for sometime.
 We can have good market and maintain present prices and have very high prices before July ends if the farmers will not increase their acre. age. But if they do increase it, no one will be to blame for lower prices but themselves. Increase your acreage-9- cent cotton. If no increase-14- to l5- cent cotton Take your choice.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, March 10.-Liverpool does not wish to follow the advance, put this market opened firm under the re-
 port of an active demand for cotton
 in the south and the covering of the remainder of the short interest here. It is understood that the. advance yes- terday afternoon was due to tho pur- chases by a large trader, who had been Identified with the short side for sometime past. A slow reaction set in. but the market closed steady. 3 to 4 points lower, with the local trade dis posed to remain on the bull side so long as this spot demand continues. Probably the short interest was quite large in the commitments to the mills.
