THE COTTON MARKET
General Tone 10 Easier-Priees
Steady-Futures of.

NEW YORK, March 16.-An easier
tone prevailed in the cotton market
this morning and futures were off
4 to Is points. Prices, however, were
steady and indicated inherent
strength.
Liverpool opened easier, although
the revolution in Russia is generally
hailed with joy in Britain. The low
opening of the local market today
was brought about by Wall Street
and local traders selling, while the
market was steadied by fair buying
on the decline, some of which came
from trade sources.
The general opinion among the
trade seems to be that the railroad
crisis is at present a more depress-
ing factor than international affairs.
Early reports show cloudy wealth

Referring to the abandonment by
the Southern Railway OF its plan for
long term financing and substituting
therefor the recent short term note
issue, the London "Statist" says:
"The fact that the Southern Railway
has been able to sell notes bearing
8 per cent interest at a time when
even the British government has to
borrow at about 81 per cent in the
United States, is an indication OF the
view held by bankers as to the posi-.
ton of the undertaking"
