PRIMER TONE IN
 COTTON MARKET
Liquidation Less Active and Prices Recover Half of
 Yesterdays Losses

New York, March 31.-The cotton mar
 ket showed a decidedly firmer tone to-
 day. Liquidation was much less active
 after the heavy selling of yesterday, and
 prices recovered about half of yesterday 8
 loss, with May selling up to 16.99c, and
 October to 17S5c The close was several
 points off from the best under realizing,
 but the tone was very steady at a net
 gain of to r points. The market
 opened steady at an advance of 1 to z
 points, with active months selling to Il
 points net higher right after the call.
 This bulge met some further liquidation
 from Wall street and local sources, but
 the offerings were well absorbed on a
 moderate reaction, and the market soon developed increasing strength and activ- ity. The stronger technical position was considered one of the chief factors on the l advance but buying was also encouraged by apprehensions of unsettled weather in ] the eastern belt over Sunday and bullish
 reports from the goods trade. July sold up from 1S.4sc. the low point of the morn- ing. to 1s.73c, while December advanced
 from 17.esc to 17.s5c. with the general list showing net gains of 20 to 2I points late In the morning. Trade interests were buyers of early new crop deliveries. while ! there was active covering by recent sell CTS and renewed support from Wall street | sources.
 1 Local map readers saw little chance | for anything more than showers in Texas, while the outlook was for increasing ! cloudiness with unsettled weather and probably rain east of the river. The 1 weekend figures showed comparatively l small spinners' takings, but there was an increase in the amount on shipboard which led the expectations of increased | exports. There seemed to be no change | of sentiment as to the probable action l of Congress next week, but 1t was ar- gued around the ring that nervousness
 over possible political developments had | already found a pretty full reflection in | the trading of the past week. Sales of print cloth at Fall River for the week
 were estimated at 100000 pieces against 1 900 for the same week last year

Shepard & Gluck's Letter

Received Over ". F. Campbelrs Private
 Wire.
 New Orleans. March S1-(SpecialO Cotton made what waS to many people a surprising show of strength on the weekend, but it was not altogether un- expected to those who have watched the technical position Of the market improve under the liquidation of the long interest this week. Short covering helped put prices up and it looked very much as if the short interest Was more extensive than generally thought
 A certain element hSs been selling of late on the idea that congressional news next week will have an unfavorable ef- feet on cotton values and yet short sales were increased by the not well founded prediction of rains in Texas. This rnorn- inss weather map was as dry as ever and shorts started covering. It is be- ing demonstrated right along that under the conditions prevailing in cotton de- clines cannot be carried to any great lengths. With the trade waiting to ab- sorb every last bale of cotton in exist ence, how can a permanent decline be brought about in the contract marke If the new crop situation had & more favorable aspect, we would not feel like presenting the subject in so strong a light, but nothing has yet come into view in new crop conditions which can alter the situation which must prevail for months to come.
 Regarding the coming week we think a spirit of caution Is advisable, but we think the market a purchase if it Is forced down by any actions taken by Congress.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 31.-(special. .)-Before the opening of the market the weather map showed the absence of rain over the southwest and southern Texas, where it was hoped rain would fall last night The heavy offerings of yesterday were therefore, absent, and soon some of the sellers of the past two days bought mod erately to replace part of the cotton they had sold. This demand advanced the market some 90 points from which there was reaction at the close, with higher bids immediately after the session was over
 Under ordinary conditions the market would be governed by the weather over Sunday. now that is confused by the prospect of our entering into a war, with out sufficient preparation. Therefore the course of the market is difficult to foresee. It Is felt that the south is a free seller on any advance from these prices and that the buyers of last week have withdrawn. On the other hand, Tex as must have rain soon.

STOCK QUOTATIONS
 DECLINE FURTHER
General Shrinkage Credited
 to Misgivings Regarding <, Our Foreign Relations

New York, March 31.-Liquidation in moderate volume, combined with short selling. both probably impelled by mis- givings regarding forthcoming devel- opments in the international crisis, caused a general shrinkage of quota tions in todays two o-hour session.
 Some of the leaders. including Uni ted States Steel and standard rails, de- clined to lowest levels of the week, recovering extreme recessions for that period of 2 to , points, Munitions and equipments, as well as shippings and metals. followed the general trend, which became more pronounced toward the close.
 Petro1eums and motors. sugars and specialties of no definite class were freely offered at concessions of con siderable fractions. The heaviness of Reading, St. Paul. New York Central and several other high grade rails was brought about on comparatively light sales.
 Pool issues were the only features of strength, Ohio Gas continuing its upward march at a gain of points. to the new record of 1351s. Wilson Packing, Virginia Iron. General Motors and Utah Copper were higher by 1 to points. In the main the list closed at lowest prices of the day Total sales amounted to 2S5.000 shares.
 Developments bearing upon financial matters included the increased strength of Scandinavian exchange, due to the payment by Washington of $25, 900 GOO to the Danish government for the Dan- ish West Indies. additional exports of gold to Spain and the purchase of $10,- o00,000 of Baltimore and Ohio railroad trust certificates maturing in annual installments during 10 years.
 The bank statement more than full filled adverse forecasts. actual loans increasing almost s30000, 900, the cash contraction also approximating that figure with a similar decrease of TO- serves. For the past fortnight excess reserves show a reduction of about s50,o00.000.
 Weekly reviews of the mercantile agencies report no abatement of the heavy purchasing power by the pub lie, this condition being stimulated by buying for government account.
 The bond market manifested an cas- fer tone today on small dealings. To- tai sales, par value, aggregated $1,- 755.o00
 In government bonds the only change oH the week was a decline of point in coupon As on call.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. March 31.--A firm tone prevailed in cotton during today's week end session. Recent short sell CTS covered in volume and put prices up on themselves. A moderate de- mand from the long side increased the markets strength. At the best of the session prices were 13 to 26 points above yesterdays close Last prices showed a net gain of to 17 points. For the first time in several days new crops displayed. strength, scoring a much wider gain than the old crops This seemed to be due part ly to unfavorable weather over the belt and partly to the belief that should this country raise a large army the labor supply for working the crop would be insufficient.
 Momentarily on the opening the market fell off for a decline of to 4 points, but good demand immedi- ately sprang up and absorbed every thing offered. The weather map in- dicated that rains expected in Texas had not materialized and traders who yesterday sold on the idea that the Texas drouth was about to be broken commenced to cover.
 Spot accounts continued in bull ish vein and helped keep the market at the advance. Toward the close scalping longs were profit takel $. which eased the pressure to buy.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, March 31.-Wheat prices
 averaged higher today, largely as a
 result of the failure of expected rains.
 especially in Nebraska The market closed unsettled at $1.959195N for
 May; s1.64@1.641s for July. with the
 market as a whole 7sc off to 1c advance
 compared with yesterdays finish. Corn
 gained Ac to tsc; oats closed Ac
 down to 1kc up, and provisions at
 losses ranging from 2hc to 4oc.
 Uneasiness regarding the long con-
 tinued lack of moisture throughout important sections of the winter crop
 belt dominated the wheat trade dur ing the earlier trading and was offset
 only in part as the session approached close. In addition to drouth fears. the tightening of the crisis between Germany and the United States encour- aged sentiment for higher prices. Sub sequently, however, the Oklahoma crop report made surprising exhibit showing an improvement of points during March and this development counted as a factor in lowering values Advices were also received that work in important parts of the Canadian spring wheat belt was one week to three weeks ahead of normal
 Price rallies which took place in the wheat market at the last were chiefly due to weekend adjustment of trades. It was apparent that selling on the Oklahoma crop report, forecast of showers in Kansas. and on other bear
 ish news had been overdone and there | was an upward swing in progress all ! aruond when the final gong cleared the pit
 Corn showed stubborn resistance to selling pressure. Talk of SIS hogs be- 1 fore fall did much to uphold advances Brisk demand from the east and south gave independent firmness to oats. ! There was persistent buying of May | by strong commission houses
 1 Provisions swayed in line with the i hog market. An early advance was followed by setbacks due to free sell ! ing on the part of houses that of late ! had been purchasing freely. The bulk l of the trade was in lard

Bradstreet's Review

New York. March 3O.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Better weather, the approach of Easter. large government buying for army and navy account and the heavy purchasing power of the public at large constitute the stimulating features which make for exceptional activity in nearly every me of trade. and swell the total volume 1t most centers above last years levels. At a great many markets there is talk of COT tinued conservatism as to far future buying but this is absolutely absent in the iron and steel trade which notes new high levels of prices reached and rarely noted in cotton and woolen goods, which are strong with an upward tendency for nearby needs and supported by the strength of the raw materials, 30 far ss the future is concerned. Frequent men tion is made too, of the actual volume of trade not being larger than year ago, but added to this is the statement that the higher levels of all prices make for a greater financial turnover This matter of high prices, in fact, seems to bs the key of the situation and bulks larger by far in the trade discussions than doea the talk of the possibility of hostilities.
