ABRUPT DECLINE
 OF MEXICAN GROUP Dearth of Outside Interest On Stock Exchange Re
 stricts Trading

New York, March 23.-During the greater part of todays listless session, leading stock rose and fell within frac- tional limits, except in the forenoon, when an abrupt decline in the Mexican group, chiefly petroleums, caused re- sessions of to points. Trading lost nothing of it's familiar professional tone, commission houses reporting a dearth of outside interest, and dealing were on an increasing scale of narrow ness.
 Rails were more neglected than usual, until toward the close, when an in- quiry for Reading, which made an ex- treme gain of F, awakened interest in other shares of the same class. New York Central was moderately absorbed at higher price levels, but Southern Pacific was unresponsive to its favor able February statement, and Norfolk and Western was dorment, pending de- ferred action on the dividend
 In general, munitions, equipment and oils contributed more than their usual large quota. Mexican petroleum being the most active issue of the day. It recorded an extreme loss of 5A at 103H, but closed at 1065s. United States Steel offered some resistance to pres sure on forecasts of earnings for the quarter now drawing to a close, but
  ing to 495. Metal shares were ac- tive, especially American zinc and Butte and Superior, which recorded substan- tial gains.
 Sentiment was more than ordinarily mixed and latest advices from Wash- ington were not calculated to clear up the confusion prevailing in speculative circles. There was less peace talk and general news from abroad threw little light on existing conditions.
 Francs were extremely weak, a con- dition traceable to the higher rates for Sterling in Paris, and marks held frac- tionally over recent minimum quota tions. Rumors of additional gold eX- ports to Holland were not confirmed.
 The Bank of England increased it's gold holdings by over $4,000,000, incl dental1y strengthening it's liability re- serves, while the Bank of France gained $2.362,0o0 gold, but increased it's note circulation by over $25.000,000.
 Southern Pacific was first of the inn portant roads to submit February earn ings, with net increase of $294O000.
 Bonds were steady with further heavy trading in Anglo-French 5s. To- tai sales of bonds, par value, were $2,- 625,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 2S.-Light rains were reported from Texas today. with indi- cations of further rains during the next few days The denial of peace negotia- tions from Washington was received with more relief Opening lower. the market rallied on the destruction of cotton at Augusta, Ga, by the great fire there last night.
 Then the market slowly declined on realizing by those who bought earlier in the week, with the local sentiment becoming disappointed at the absence oi a buying demand from the spinners.
 Evidently the predictions of rains in the southwest have exerted a dishearten- ing influence over the trade, who were discussing today the probable effect oi large crop was necessary, but were not disposed to buy to hold just yet on that theory.

Ayery's Letter

Rain in Texas was the big bear card today upon the strength of which those who believe cotton is too high sold it freely all day with g. net result of s points decline for New York July and the same for New Orleans July. f Figuring that it takes 10 points month to carry cotton and July in New Orleans selling at 1191 and middling cotton on the spot at P cents, July cotton looks to me to be just 50 points too low. Certain it is either one of two things will hap pen-spots will have to break or futures go up-you can take your choice. My personal opinion is that Julys will go up. There are one or two things standing cut in the cotton market Tine average trader right now has his eye too much fixed on the production and is overlook ing the consumption. Consumption for January and February average well over a million bales. Continued at this rate. we face exhaustion before the end of July.
 The Texas rainfall will have to be more than a sprinkle in order to become a factor of any bearish importance. Spots continue in good demand and most points reported prices unchanged and sales large. Houston was the only place that showed q decline, and that was but points. Con tinue to advice purchases of Julys at this level for good profits.

 In the market for futures, firmer
 tone prevailed with active buying of
 May by interests who were thought to
 be acting for Cuban account. and this
 caused general buying throughout the list All the old crop positions were
 firm, and at the close of the day
 showed net gains of 1 to 10 points
 while the distant positions were ,
 points higher to 5 points net lower
 Total sales for the day were 9850 tons.
