COTTON MARKET
 SHOWS DECREASE
Irregular Prices Showed Tendency to Sag Off Un-
 der LiquidatiOns

New York, March s.-The cotton market was comparatively quiet again today, and while fluctuations were irregular prices showed tendency to sag off un- der scattering liquidation. May contracts sold off from 175s017 4Oc. closing at 174Sc, with the general list closing steady net point higher to g points lower. New crop months were relatively steady.
 The market opened at decline of 6 points to an advance of 1 point under overnight selling orders. The cables were relatively steady, however, and there was a little Liverpool buying here as well as scattered Wall street covering on which prices soon rallied to net ad- vance of or points. July sold up to r. 45c and October to 16.65c, while May rallied from 174Sc to 17.59c. This bulge met renewed realizing or scattering liqui- dation and there seemed to be some New Orleans selling here accompanied by a private wire from that market which said that all Liverpool ocean rates had been withdrawn. This appeared to be taken as indicating that British ships were be- ing shifted from cotton to other trades, while the British admiralty statement with reference to shlps sunk for the week ended March 4, was supposed to show that losses had continued on about the same scale as last month There were also rumors that southwestern spot peo- pie were selling on the more recent bulges and prices eased off during the afternoon without finding much support. July touched 17.2sc and October 16.56c, or about to 15 points net lower but part of the losses were recovered in the late trading. The close showed rallies of 5 or points from the lowest. A late mes- sage confirmed the early report from New Orleans saying that Liverpool rates had been withdrawn by New Orleans agents, presumably on orders from the British admiralty.

WASHINGTON SURPRISED

Washington, March Sword that men from American warships actu- ally had landed at Santiago surprised navy department officials. who only today had referred to the state de- partment a request for such action from the Cuban governor. Commander Belknap's last report transmitted tho governors request and asked for in structions.
 The American naval commanders have broad authority to take such steps as may be necessary to protect Americans and other foreigners and their property. It Is assumed that the situation at Santiago became so threatening that Commander Belknap decided it was necessary to act i'm mediately without waiting for a reply to his message.
 As the United States government recognized only the Menocal govern ment, the trouble at Santiago presents difficult problem. The government forces are attacking the city and arc opposed by the governor of the prov ince The task of the American expe- dition will be to protect foreigners without becoming involved in the gen- era1 fighting.

STOCKS MARKED
 BY L|STLESSNESS
Dealings Fell Off in Com parison With Operations
 of Recent Days

New York, March S.--A relapse to the listless conditions of last month was the most striking feature of today's market. Dealings fell away by 30 to 40 per cent in comparison with the opeptions of re- cent days and the number of issues trad I ed in suffered corresponding reductions. N There was concurrent dmnution of professional activity in ultra speculative stocks, probably in consequence of the failure to enlist public interest in the quarter General news pertaining to the financial situation ranged from favorable to the reverse, the delay in settlement of the armed neutrality controversy mill itating against shippings and kindred is F sues.
 Such changes as occurred in prices of important stocks represented little more than the caprices of the trading ele- $ ment. United States Steel and allied shares were steady to strong most of the sessions. with coppers, oils, motors sugars and the usual equipments utili- ties and fertilizers.
 O. The more substantial advances, very few of which were fully retained, included Texas company, which rose 5a4 to 234 with 8 each for International Agricul- tural Chemical preferred and to points for Gulf States Steel, Mexican Petro- leum, American Smelting, International Paper, preferred, Peoples Gas and Ohio Gas, the latter extending it's gain to 6 points at 1OS Just before the close. z Rails continued to show general heavi- sness, with further moderate liquidation, Aaof high-grade issues, including Chicago and Northwestern and other grangers. fNew York, Chicago and St. Louis, sec- ond preferred, dropped 8 points to 49 on la single transaction Total sales amount sd to 54o,000 shares.
 < Operations in exchange were nominal, sterling marks hardening with another setback in rubles Maintenance of the prevailing discount rate by the Bank of England was ascribed to the reduced liability reserves reported by that insti- tuition.
 Bonds were steady, except for fur ther decline in Distillers Securities 5s to the new low record of 63. Total sales, par value, aggregated $2, 365000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, March s.-Big clearances at
 Baltimore and correct forecasts that the
 governfNent crop report on farm reserves
 would prove bullish did good deal to
 bring about advances today in the price
 Of wheat. Quotations closed firm 1Ac
 to 1Ssc net higher with May at $1ssss to
 s1SS% and July at s15S5s to S1.59. Corn
 finished 1c to 11sc up, and oats gained
 1kc to ssc. In provisions, the outcome
 ranged from 121kc decline to rise of
 15c.
 Despite bullish sentiment which ulti-
 mately ruled the wheat market prices
 tended down at the outset owing largely
 to the fact that railway traffic difficult
 ties had caused export, contracts in the
 west and southwest to be cancelled. One railroad was reported as alone having 45O0
 cars filled with freight standing in the
 Kansas City yards. Some vague peace
 talk was also among the factors that
 gave the bears transient advantage.
 Free buying on the part of the strong
 interests, however accompanied an-
 nouncements that some exporters who
 had cancelled wheat purchases were try
 ing to replace the lines at points where
 the railroad were not wholly blockaded and that 10 neutral grain ships had cleared from Baltimore today. -Pessimis- tic crops reports, especially from Me- braska, tended also to give an upward impulse to the market.
 AS the time approached for the is- suance of the government report on farm reserves, the confidence of the wheat bulls became more and more apparent. Gossip was current, too, that foreigners were buying future deliveries here, and it was said that for the first time since the German war zone decree was issued or January s1, American ship owners were coming into the ocean freight mar ket in fairly large numbers
 Corn showed independent strength. The government report on farm reserves was expected to be bullish and turned out to be much more so than had been antici- pated. Oats were firm in sympathy with corn. Besides there was persistent buy ing at Winnipeg presumably for the British government. Advance guesses on farm reserves of oats proved to be con siderably in excess of the government to- tal
 Provisions were irregular, and much less active than has recently been the case. Realizing sales by holders weakened lard and ribs. Offerings of pork were small.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, March S.-There was very little business put through today, the market being largely local scalping one, with the trade as a whole waiting further developments The demand from Amer ican mills has slackened of and reliable reports from the south indicate that mills there are we'll supplied until July. In the meantime the export situation shows lit tie signs of improvement and in fact it was reported that freight rates had been withdrawn from New Orleans. We see some indication of uneasiness on the part of holders in the south. although this is by no means general. The strength here has been due to the premiums of the near positions. due to tho chipping out of the local stock on account of the embarroes whic hhave made 1t difficult to move cot ton forward from the south. However, this demand has also slacksned. 90 that we find the buying power very much re- stricted. We expect . continuation of the waiting policy on the part of the trade until better line can be obtained on the prospects for the preparation. of the new N4ap.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, March S--Cotton felt lit- tie selling pressure on this market today, but, on the other hand, received no pro- nounced support, the result being a small market with narrow price changes. At the best of the session, trading months were to 8 points over yesterdays clos ing. At the lowest they were to points under. Last prices were unchanged to points down, compared to yesterday s last quotation
 Around the opening. better cables than due and the dry weather in the extreme western belt, combined with excessive moisture east of the Mississippi valley. caused moderate buying. The upward movement was checked by the temporary withdrawal of ocean freight rates on cot ton to Liverpool and by the prediction on the exchange that when rates were quoted again they would be at $4 a hun dred.
 In the afternoon the market displayed little activity. The sag late in the ses- sion was due to the reduction of 12 points in local spot quotations, middling be- ing quoted at 17.3S cents per pound.
