MODERATE DECLINE ,ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Discouraging Feature Was Ease With Which Prices
 Declined

New York, March 2.-Efforts to lift the stock market out of it's long continued slough of depression were almost alto- gether futile today, prices moving with more or less uncertainty during the greater part of the dull session and clos ing with a number of moderate net de- clines.
 The international situation and it's at- tendant uncertainties, as reflected in do- mestic political conditions more than counterbalanced a variety of favorable developments These latter included in- creased copper dividends, record buying of steel and iron further excellent state ments of earnings by railroads and in- dustrial corporations, and the encour- aging trade review submitted by the fed eral reserve board.
 Trading dragged in the last half of the session, but changes were mainly down. ward, though orderly. To the construc- tive side of the account, the ease with which prices receded on light offerings was most discouraging.
 Rails were less active than recently, but manifested more stability. United final quotations, it's steadiness showing moderate accumulations.
 The most interesting news from abroad was contained in cables announcing the virtual closing of the London metal mar ket, to prevent further speculation in copper and allied products. This oc- casioned no surprise in local circles, where the artificial character of the for eign markets for those commodities had long been a matter of gossip.
 Another large gain in gold constituted the chief feature of the Bank of Eng land statement, the increase amounting to about $5,600,0O0. Exchange between London and this center now has reached the level where further imports of gold are highly improbable.
 Large net gains for January were re- ported by the Atlantic Coast Line and the New Haven
 Bonds, including Anglo-French 5s, were firm Total sales, par value, were 8, 255,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, March 2.-(Special Jon fur ther covering by the recent sellers. whose views were somewhat changed by the bet ter demand for spot cotton in the south, the market advanced some 15 points, clos ing steady at Il points advance On the rise the south was again a seller. Lit tie attention was paid to the political dissension in Washington, while re- port that commerce raider had been captured off the coast of Brazil increased the belief in a prospective increase in the demand for export. The temper of the trade is less bearish than a week ago
 without any change in the existing con. dttions, excepting that the continued good business of the American mills has in creased the demand from them. Tonight a better Liverpool market is expected in answer to the improvement hereF

ADVANCE ON i
 MORRIS AVENUE.
Scarcity in Poultry Indicate Rise in Prices-Fancy
 Fish Supply Short

Thursdays market feature was a 7sc advance on pure and compound lard and 19c advance on pork loins. Pure lard is selling at 11asc, over 11c Wednesday, while compound lard advanced from 1os4c to 111sc on the pound. The heavy demand for fresh meat, due to the recent cold weather, has probably caused the advance in pork loins. There is a good demand for meats of all kinds and dealers say it will go higher before the week is over Scarcity in poultry will probably cause prices to advance in a short time, state dealers Hens are becoming more scarce every day and flyers are very hard to get. t* Fancy fish of all kinds are still hard to get. There was practically none at all on the market yesterday, but red snapper is being received in shipments about equal to the demand.
 Produce business is reported good, and no changes were noted over yesterdays s quotation. Today's quotations follow:

Avery's Letter

Cotton prices moved up today in re- sponse to Liverpool buying and short covering. Clevenberg said contracts were scarcer than for sometime. All of which no doubt was caused by 8 better spot demand for March commitments and lower ocean freight rates. The latter should improve still further if the report that the German sea raider had been cap tured proves true. At least, insurance rates should feel it's effect. Prices may work a little higher, but rather expect to see hedge sales come on the market on any further advance
 The market will fuctuate within a narrow range and remain under the immediate influence of day to day hap penings for some time. the broader in huences of stock reductions and improve ment Of the export situation will likely remain in the background and only exert tteir' influence when prices are pushed too low.
 An attempt was made again today to inject the acreage question into the mar ket as an influence, by sending out a ridiculous wire to the effect that Texas vas expected to increase the acreage from 10 to 9 per cent because the win ter oats crop had been damaged. This is palpable effort to influence prices via the rumor route
 Still believe a waiting policy the best one to pursue for the present until things become mor settled :-tlis may mean you might miss your market by few points Tn case nothing happens, but on the other hand, IT you buy now and something does happen, you are hung ur There is too much in the air for conservative trad- ing and this is the only kind that nave

 May contracts sold up 10 S14c and Sep tember to S.S0c or into new high ground for the movement, but this advance seemed to attract a good deal of realiz- ing, and the selling was promoted later by rumors that ocean freight room was offering more freely at slight conces- sions from recent official quotations. Ru- mors that the German commerce raider had been captured off tle coast of Bra gil may also have had some influence on the decline which carried May off to O3c and September to S.20c The close was to points net lower.
