COTTON MARKETS

New York. March IA Steader tone was noted
in the cotton market today. but dealings lin
tied. Attention practically nonopolized by the
political situation.
The new DEVELOPMENT in the German Amencan
situation caused much discussion before the start
ard q waiting attitude displayed in the carly
dealings. Good advances in Liverpool were ignored,
and the early tone was barely steady, August ad-
yanCIDg points on one sale but the active options
we're ore to three points lower.
Covering and . little trade buying which may also
have reflected evening up Of spot commitments
steadied the market at the decline. but there were
moderate rallies during the middle Of the morning
The market was quiet during the noon hour with
prices ruling steady.
SPOT firms continued to absorb the nearby posi-
tons during the afternoon when prices held steady
higher

Analyze Situation

The following analysis OF the New
York market situation was received yes
terday by w. B. Hibbs & Co. from Logan
& Bryan. their New York correspon-
dents:
Not only the financial community but
the whole country as a whole seemed
to be amazed at the revelations with
respect to the Teutonic design on the
peace and well-being of the United States
and the assertions of the Japanese
envoy were assuring and gratifying as
was the report in circulation in banking
circles that the Mexican administration
was a party to the expose of the designs
of the central powers.
Quite naturally nervousness and un-
certainty was reflected in the stock
market more especially IN the rail de-
partment. It apparently being the con-
sensus of opinion that it is only Ques-
ton Of time before the government will
supervise in large part the operations OF
the carriers. Even so, however. declines
were not drastic and the liquidation that
occurred was for the most part OF an
orderly nature From now on, domestic
politics will perhaps be less of factor
for the reason primarily that all fac
tions will promptly unite each co-operat-
ing with the other for the common
wealth, however, an ultra-conserVatlVe
course with respect to new commitments
should be the order of things until
tendencies are more clearly defined"

Possible Candidates.

The candidates most talked of as en-
tering the lists are: For the republi-
can nomination. Bentley. Jeffrys. Nc
Govern and Goff tregulars) and Lieut.

socialists, Mayor Hoan OF Milwaukee
or former Representative Berger. For
the democrats. Joseph E. Davies. fed
eral trade commissioner. who stands
conspicuously for the President and the
governments and the country's war
policies.
The prediction is freely made in Wis
consin. il Is said, that should the La
Toilette candidate win the nomination
on the republican ticket. loyalist re-
publicans will vote at the general cleo
tion for Davies.
Owing to the unknown quantity in
the electorate represented by the COM
bined La Toilette. pro-German. 'paci-
fist" and socialist vote, careful observ-
ers in Wisconsin do not go to the
length Of predicting the impossibility
Of a La Toilette candidate getting the
nomination, but the best judges there
are agreed that in such event the cleo
tion of the loyalist democratic candi-
date for senator would virtually be as
sured.
