in getting views as to the work and
the maintenance OF the organization.
Among some of the things propos-
ed to the members were cleanup
campaign, a pay-up week, extension of

drives about the city, careful study

importance of tariff building in the in
terest of central and western North

new members to become acqua inted
with one another and with the new

Shepard & Gluck's Letter

New Orleans. March 27-(Specia1)-A growing disposition to wait on the as- sembling of Congress was shown by the cotton market today.
 Some little liquidation resulted and the market took on dull tone. Price changes were not wide and, considering every thing. the tone was steady enough.
 While there is a general feeling that the market cannot be affected greatly by turns in the political situation, there is yet some uncertainty existing as to what will happen if Congress takes the course which most people have come to expect. In other words. many traders want the foreign relations of this cotin- try to appear in clearer light before going ahead with new operations Weather conditions over the belt as portrayed by the map. were very bad, heavy rains being shown in the eastern half while fair and unseasonably cold weather prevailed in the west. Were it little later, the heavy rains east of the belt might be described as nothing short of disastrous. The time Is fast approaching when bearishly inclined peo- pie will not be able to console them selves with the thought that it is still early in the season and that there is yet plenty of time in which to make up for any backwardness in preparations
 As matter of fact we think present delays will tell the season through, be- cause there is not enough labor in the south to allow planters to rush their work on any favorable turn in the weather.
 We continue to advise the buying of cotton on breaks.

MARKET SETTLES
 DOWN ID ROUTINE Dealers in Stocks Await Ac- tion of Coming Session
 of Congress

New York, March 27.-The stock market settled down to a dull routine today, preliminary to the coming soon or Congress and a more definite ad- Justment of conditions bearing direct " upon intrinsic values. Dealings were the lghtest of any full day for almost d fortnight the absence of public in terest being marked feature.
 occasional spells of activity derived enelr chlef impulse from the operations ol pools interested in special stocks, notably those more or less remotely related to the war groups. Low priced munitions and equipments figure to an uhwonted degree, but failed to elicit outside response.
 Additional adverse crop reports, ru- mors dealing with the intednational situation, the failure of the Central Leather directors to increase the com mon dividend and the Union Pacific statement for February, which showed large decrease in net earnings, were among the restraining influences of the day.
 Opening prices were well above final quotations of the preceding day, es- pecially in industrials and rails. Equip ments were next taken up with sugars and marines, but the inquiry flattened out by midday, after which prices drift ed idly, save for another spurt in sugars towards the close.
 Pressure was again observed in United States Steel, Reading and a few other potential leaders, steel. how ever, rallying from it's fractional de- cline before the end Other prominent shares made partial recoveries on short covering, rails, however, holding back

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans March 2.-Liquidation weighed against the price of cotton to- day, sending the active months at the lowest IS to 26 points under yesterdays last prices. The close was at a net loss or Il to P points. Comparatively little support was offered the market, and 1t made poor response to the bullish fea- lures. Better cables than due and an unfavorable weather map caused only small buying around the opening and on the first call the market stood to points up. This was disappointing to holders of long contracts and they com menced to let go. Heavy rains were re- ported in the eastern belt while freezing weather was reported far down into Texas. Bullish traders generally consid- cred that weather conditions were ex- tremely bad, but this opinion did not re- suit in much of a demand. Before the mission was very old prices were Il to 16 points under yesterdays close. Toward the middle of the day there was a re- action from the decline but when prices were at about the level of yesterday s close selling increased and the. pressure continued until the close, the new crop months feeling it more than the old.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. March 27.--Soaring prices and broad activity resulted in the wheat mar ket today from continued adverse domes- tic crop reports and from prohibition of bresdstun exports by Argentina.
 Corn gained 1a1Bc to 1ssc. oats finished unchanged to ssc higher and provisions at yesterdays final level to 1oc lower.
 Unfavorable advices regarding the con- dition Of winter wheat bore particularly on the situation in Kansas and Nebraska. where severe damage was reported, al- though conclusive judgment on the amount of injury seemed to he as yet pre- mature. Nevertheless the general condi tion of the crop as a whole not only in the two states named but throughout the heaviest producing sections of the entire winter belt was asserted in some quar- ters to be the poorest in many years at this season. Dangerous lack of moisture formed the chief basis of complaints.
 Snowfalls which had given the bears yesterday temporary advantage were said today to have been to a notable de- gree insufficient to afford much relief.
 A decided increase of demand for the May delivery of wheat here was an evil dent consequence of the announcement of an embargo by Argentina on wheat and flour. Houses with eastern connections were heavy buyers of May, which rose to 1ac under the topmost record touched last November. July and September options meanwhile ascended to new high prices for the season. Set backs were at Flo time of a radical sort, and in the main ap- peared to be due to profit taking.
 Corn, like wheat, advanced to new high values for the present crop. The fact was pointed out that available supplies were less than half as large as the total of a year ago. Oats shared only to a moderate extent in the strength of other cereals. Spring seeding was said to be making good progress in the south.
 Demand for provisions lacked volume. Declines, however, were checked by the bulge in value of grain.
 Future quotations were as follows:

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March N.-(Special )-There has been a slowly declining market to- day, in which realizing by outside holders was the main feature all day. They were affected by the information that the south had been moderate sellers of spots on the advance and were willing to con- tinue selling on any further upward movement.
 Outside of this selling, which at one time was assisted by further liquidation by one of the recent buyers, the feeling of the local trade In favor of the mar ket was the factor. They expect Europe will find some means of buying cotton. quieter tone is somewhat due to the seriousness of the situation and the cur tailment of all exports
