IRREGULAR TONE IN STOCK MARKET Developments Across Water Credited With Perfume
 tory Trading

New York, February 24.-For want of a more specific or definite reason, the ir- regular tone of today's perfunctory mar ket was generally attributed to latest de- velopments across the water.
 The drastic measures taken by the Brit ish government excited some apprehension in speculative circles and gave an excuse for the early set-black, which ranged from to 21s points In shippings, oils, and other industrials and specialties that may be affected by the British embargo.
 United States Steel, which yielded a point at it's worst, and the metals fur meager turn over of 154, ,OOO shares. Rails were utterly neglected, except for mod crate reversal in Union Pacific and 8 further recovery in New Haven.
 Short covering which became general in the last half hour, resulted in more or less complete recoveries, with substan- tial gains in a few specialties, notably Pittsburg Coal, General Motors, Central Leather, Pressed Steel Car, Butte and Su- perior and Utah Copper.
 The bank statement proved to be widely out of line with forecast actual loans showing only a nominal increase with a small gain in reserves.
 Week end news bearing upon financial ad merchantle conditions referred more directly to traffic congestion and the ina bility of manufacturers to obtain raw ma terials. Purchasing power also suffered some curtailment by reason of the greater living costs.
 Another break in Italian exchange with fires at 743 was the only incident in the market for foreign remittances.

.STRENGTHOF SPOTS
 FEATURES MARKET
For First Time Since War Spot Month Sold Above
 Next Active Position

New York, February A.-The feature of the cotton market today was the strength of near positions. For the first time since the beginning of the war the spot month sold above the next active posi- ticn, March being exchanged for May at g. premium of 5 points on March, while there was regular business in March at points over May. This reflection of the spot situation exercised an infiu- ence on later deliveries and the general list closed steady at a net advance of 8 to 15 points. May contracts fiuctuated between .21c and 16.31c, closing at 16 .30c.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of points. The bearish view of the British import poii- cy responsible for the liquidation and break of yesterday appeared to have undergone some modification overnight, and the market sold 5 to 1S points net higher right after the call on cover ing by some of yesterdays sellers. This advance met another flutter of liquida- tion and prices reacted to about last nights close. Offerings were limited
 however, and the market soon firrned up again on renewed covering. March ad- vanced to 1e.S3c or 21 points above last nights close, while July sold up to 1e.S7c or g points net higher. New crop posi- tions were relatively quiet but sold about |6 to 8 points above Fridays closing, in sympathy with the near-month strength.
 Closing prices were a few points off from the best under realizing. Manches- ter trade advices said the prospects were uncertain and that goods were beginning to accumulate, owing to the reduction in export facilities. These reports prob ably promoted some of the early selling, but advices from the domestic goods trade were encouraging. Larger sales were re- ported on Fall River with prices show ing advances of 1-16c to lsc on some lines. The advance in near positions was accom- panied by reports that offerings of hedged cotton had been pretty we'll cleaned up, and that buyers were now more depend ent upon securing supplies from holders of unhedged cotton in the interior.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, February 24.-Big purchases for Europe led to a decided advance to- day in wheat values. The outcome was a strong close, 119c to 21kc net higher, with May at $1.7S1s to $1.7Ss4, and July at $i.5f9s to s1.51N. Other commodities. too, scored gains; corn, 9s@1zc to Sc; oats Ac, and provisions, 2Oc to BOG.
 Uncertainty at the outset in the wheat market gave way quickly to widespread bullish sentiment that resulted from an- nouncement of export sales aggregating 1,60O,000 bushels. Accompanying demand for future deliveries was especially ur- gent from houses with eastern connec- tions. Besides the foreign business stated as having been actually put through, 1t was said there were injuries in the mar ket for immense additional quantities. AL tered views in regard to Lloyd Georges speech tended further to lift the prices. The opinion most popular today was that the premier's address implied a long con- tir.uance of extraordinary demand for foodstuffs and had even precluded much of break in values on peace news.
 Bad crop reports from the southwest continued to oppress the bears. On the other hand, no substantial relief for the car scarcity here was in sight. Corn followed wheat heaviness at the start being displaced soon by unmistak- able strength. Shorts covered freely. Oats hardened with other grain. Trad ing, though, was of small volume.
 Hogs, at the long coveted goal of SIS per 100 pounds made provisions continue to climb. It was said hog supplies were short of daily requirements, and that signs pointed to curtailed receipts during March.

COTTON GOODS

New York, February 24-The scarcity of stock goods in first hands is tending toward making a stronger market on cotton goods than would normally be expected in the jobbing season. Produc- ing costs are rising, rather than fall
 ing, and this factor strengthens the de- mands of manufacturers for prices that will cover them. Print cloths have been active and stronger. Staple ginghams have been advanced 1sc a yard. Bleached cottons are steadier. In consequence of large government requirements cotton duck and allied products rule very firm in first and second hands. The demand for Snovelty was such fabrics in sport designs is active, while the fine, sheer fabrics rule quiet. Retailers who are in

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, February 24.-As usual on Saturday. the market recovered from the depression of yesterday, closing steady at about 10 points advance. The improve ment is based on the thought that as Mir. Lloyd George did not include cotton in the list of articles prohibited from im- portation (despite the loss of tonnage daily), in some manner a way would be found to export cotton.
 A demand for the near delivery from spinners, buying hedges. was also firm factor. An advance in Liverpol is ex- pected on Monday because of the small clearances and the further destruction of neutral tonnage. With the withdrawal of the only American passenger line from sailing, a practical blockade of mails and passengers has been established.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February N.-Todays cotton market was a typical weekend session with trading very light. The tone was steady, however, and prices held at small net advance throughout. At the highest active months were 1 to 7 points over yesterdays last quota tions; the close was 4 to 6 points above. Bullish features in the weekly statistics ness.
 A less pessimistic view was taken of the speech yesterday by Lloyd George. especially after attention had been called to the fact that this seasons total ex- ports of American cotton this week crossed the 1000, ,0oo-bale mark.
