REVIEW OF WEEK
 IN COTTON MARKET

New York, March 9.--The buying move- small number of notices issued against March contracts toward the end of last month, appeared to eliminated when May contracts sold at 179Sc at the begin- ming of the week just ended This made an advance of approximately $9 per bale within period of 10 days, and of prac- t'cally 5a cents per pound from the low price touched on the big break of Feb ruary l. Many traders regarded the up- ward movement as a readjustment be- tween contract and spot values brought about by the gradual absorption of hedged cotton which had led to the cover ing of trade shorts in near months. De- mand slackened. however, as prices ap- preached the 18-cent level, and the easier technical position was reflected in realiz- ing or selling for a reaction. The ten dency in this direction was increased by confusing political developments. while the attention of the trade also seemed to be shifting from the spot situation to the study of ocean freight conditions. Re- ports of higher ocean rates and marine war risks undoubtedly caused nervousness and there was also reports from New Or leans that Liverpool agents were with drawing freight rates. This led to a be- lief that British bottoms were being shifted from cotton to other trades, and May contracts sold off 5S points from the high level during the week. The new crop months reacted also, but were re- latively steady on buying to undo strad- dies by people who were sellers of near positions, and the market today steadied up several points from the lowest on re- newed covering by old crop shorts. Re- ports of further sales from the local stock appeared to be factor on the rally to- ward the end of the week combined with bullish Liverpool statistics and the ap- pearance of a few trade buying orders on declines. Bullish crop advices have con- tirued to come in from some sections. while low temperatures and deficiency of rainfall in the southwest have caused some apprehension, although it was most generally considered too early in the sea- son for such advices to create a decided sentiment.

RECENT REACTION
 PARTLY RECOVERED.
Renewal of Coverings and Trade Buying Noted in
 Cotton Market

New York. March 9.-There was a re- newaI of covering or trade buying of the near months in the cotton market today and prices recovered part of the recent reaction with May contracts selling up to 1774c, or 2S points net higher. Part or this gain was lost under realizing, with May closing at 17.65c an6 the general hst steady at net advance of to N points
 Early fluctuations were somewhat IT, regular, owing to continued nervousness over shipping conditions. After opening steady at an advance of to lS points in response to higher Liverpool cables and overnight covering orders, the market reacted slightly under further scattering liquidation or local pressure. Offerings were enough to suggest that the long in terest had considerably reduced on the decline of the previous day, however, and prices soon turned frmer. The rally was assisted by some Liverpool buying of old crop positions.
 Reports of continued sales from the local stock, which is being gradually re- duced by shipments, and the small offer ings seemed to account for the renewed nervousness Of shorts. Buiiish weekly Liverpool statistics also attracted con- siderable attention and may have served to offset bearish features connected with ocean freights. The market sold up to 17.SSc for March and 17.61c for July, or about 27 to 2S points net higher, while October touched 167Sc, or r points above last nights close. The advance was then checked by realizing and last prices showed reactions of 8 or 10 points from the best.
 Advices received here from Boston said an embargo had been placed upon snip nlents of Egyptian cotton to neutral coun- tries via Liverpool and in British bot toms, but that such shipments now en route for England or held in England awaiting transshipment would probably be forwarded to their destinations.

STRENGTH ADDED
 T0ST0CK MARKET
Statement of Federal Re serve Board Regarding Foreign Loans a Con-
 tributing Factor

New York, March 9.-Varfous construc- tive developments contributed to the strength and activity of today's market, tied extent Foremost among the accel- erating factors was the statements of the federal reserve board which revealed a more friendly attitude regarding Amer ican investment in foreign loans
 Of little less importance was the news from Pittsburg and other industrial cen- ters reporting additional advances in prices of fabricated steel and iron to highest quotations ever known in the trade. Increase of the General Motors dividend from a to F per cent basis, the strength of sterling exchange and un- precedented bank clearings for this period of the year were included among the other encouraging incidents of the day. News of the Presidents decision to arm ships and call an extra session of Congress was not received until after the maj ket's close.
 Today's maximum quotations for United States Steel and some other leaders rep resented the best prices in over a month.
 Steel was steadily accumulated from the outset, making an extreme gain of 2s points at 1124. Other industrials of the same class were higher by to 21k points, with to 3 for the general run of muni- tions and equipments.
 The motor group was more active than at any recent period General Motors scoring an overnight gain of 67s points at 12O5s. Coppers supplemented recent ad- vances, American Smelling making the greatest gain. Leather issues, papers and sugars received much of their impetus from professional sources, South Porto Rico Sugar rising 15 points in a single transaction.
 Some of the high-priced specialties made substantial gains Lorillard Tobacco rising another points to 215, with Ssl for American Tobacco at 2161a. Shippings, utilities and fertilizers gained to points On moderate dealtpgs.
 Trading in rails was relatively light. but mainly at higher prices, with gains of to 11a points for Pacific, Reading, Le- high Valley and Chicago and North western. Total sales amounted to 7S5, GOO shares.
 Gains in international bonds on a heavy turnover ranged from a fraction of IFS points, greatest strength being shown by United Kingdom issues. Domestic bonds were irregular on weakness in Fries. Total sales, par value, aggregated $4.S50,- 900. United States bonds were unchanged on call.
