STOCK TRADING WAS ALMOST EXITING I
Liberty Bonds Made Ex- treme Advances of 1-2 to
 l Per Cent

New York, March 20.-Trading on the Btock exchange today, aside from the relatively heavy dealings in Liberty Bonds was dull almost to the point of 'extinction. Hourly sales after II o'clock barely averaged 25,o0o shares. Bullish incentive was again lacking |thiefly by reason of the so-called Hol- &and-American situation and the uncer- kain status of the iron and steel in .dustry, in connection with the new price schedule to be fixed by the war Industries board
 . These conditions were balanced in a
 measure by fresh offerings or cail money, which fell to per cent alter opening at 5ik per cent, and indications that the local banking pool may soon Bhade the long prevailing per cent late for time funds.
 . Representative stocks made little or no change. these issues closing at non1i- hal gains and losses. Some of the highly speculative issues reflected the mixed operations of pools, General Motors making an extreme decline of points, while Industrial Alcohol gained almost Is much.
 Rails were listless until the final hour.
 when the Pacific group hardened with
 Great Northern and minor coalers. United States Steel closed at small Fractional advance forfeiting part of it's gain.
 Liberty issues contributed overwhelm-
 rgly to the irregular dealings in bonds 1t advances of 1a to l per cent Total sales, par value, aggregated $5,67o.OOo.
 United States bonds, old issues, were
 unchanged on call.

New Orleans Cation

New Orleans, March 20.-Except for periods of small declines around the opening and the close, cotton stood at slight advance here today in the face of larger ginning returns for this last season than had been generally ex- pected and uncertainty over just what was meant by the price fixing move ment reported in Washington yesterday. Around the opening, prices were to 6 points off, from which there was an advance until active months were to 13 points over yesterdays close. Toward the end of the session liquidation from the long side was felt and values dropped until active months were to 1. points under yesterdays final prices. Closing quotations were , points higher to points lower than the last prices of yesterday.
 The census bureau figures of Il ,23l 263 bales, as the total output of the gins this last season, compared with the average expectation of 11,100OO0 bales. The argument from the bull side was that the difference was not sufficient to alter the broad situation.
 The weather continued dry in the western belt and the forecast held out no promise of rain. This worked for underlying steadiness

GINNING REPORT
 SHOWED UP STRONG
Reports of Large Fertilizer Sales in Eastern Belt Alt tracts Attention

New York, March 20.-The cotton mar
 ket was nervous and irregular today,
 with the close steady, net points low
 CT to 6 points higher. May sold up from 219c to 32 BOG, reacted to 32.21c and
 closed at 32.39c. The market opened steady at an advance of to 4 points
 in response to relatively firm cables, but
 quickly weakened, owing to larger gin
 ming figures than expected. On the
 basis of private returns, traders had been looking for final ginnig report of about 11.1O0,oOO bales, and the official
 statement showing 11,231,263 bales pro-
 noted a> renewal of yesterdays selling
 movement July broke to 31.57, and Oc- tober to 30.60, with active months gen erally showing net declines of to "A
 points shortly after the call.
 Offerings were readily absorbed by the
 buying of domestic and Liverpool trade
 interests. however. while nervousness over the price fixing talk of yesterday was less in evidence, and the market soon firmed up on covering. July ad- vanced to 3l.90c and October to 30. 76c. or about 10 to 20 points above last night s closing on active positions, with March selling 100 points over May. The vol- ume of business then tapered off and the market later was unsettled, with prices declining under renewed realizing or liquidation.
 Reports of large fertilizer sales in the eastern belt attracted considerable at- tention and may have been factor on the break which carried October off to 3060c The close showed rallies of sev- eral points on covering and continued trade buying. While the final ginning figures were heavier than looked for, they were not sufficiently so to create any fresh sentiment of consequence as to the end session statistics, and the continued dry weather in the southwest promoted the early advance. No ex- ports were reported.

Over W. E. Campbell's Wire

New Orleans, March 20--An extremely steady undertone prevailed in cotton today and the market resisted pressure against it based on the price fixing talk and the larger ginning returns than ex- pected in today's final crop figures from the census bureau. Around the open ing there was a drop of to points. From this the market moved up to 8 level 8 to 13 points above yesterdays close and remained at a small net ad- vance during the greater part of the session.
 Regarding price fixing the trade has come to the conclusion that there are no laws existing whereby any govern ment board or official has the author ity to regulate the value of cotton and regarding the passing of such legisla- ton, congressman have several times of late taken decided stand against it. Nevertheless, the naming of price fixing commission causes much uncer- tainty over just what is to be at tempted.
 The census put the total quantity of cotton ginned this season at Il. .21 .2Sa bales against 11,s63.915 year ago. and l I1l,0a3, ,l73 two years ago. General expec-
 tations were for . report of about H.

last nights closing figures. Apprehen-
 sions of price fixing seemed to be sub
 siding which, with ginning figures, were
 considered not sufficiently above recent
 ideas to cause any matexal change of
 sentiment as to the statistical position,
 The volume of business tapered off
 sharply on the rally. however, with the
 market quiet and steady around mid
 day. Trading was quiet during the
 early afternoon and fluctuations were irregular with prices sagging off slightly under realizing. May held
 around 32. 36c, apd October So.64c, or
 about tp points net lower.
 With an embargo put on western cars loaded with grain for shipment east of Chicago, corn quotations went off, clos ing Sc to 5ac down to 1sc advance. Seeded acreage in oats shows an in- crease of 10 per cent, which, together with the embargo, sent the staple to a to 1isc drop. Hogs went to record fig ures for the season, which carried pro visions up 7c.

New York March 2o.-(special)-It was seesaw market about July at a.SO during the day, with some outside buying at the opening and good selling after and only a small net result. The ginners' report was thought bearish, Il, : 231,262 against II ,36395O for 1916. March and May deliveries were specially sen sitive, but the influence of the prrce fixing committee has passed. The manu- facturers may be restrained, owing to excessive profit and Congress must act in the matter that is the general belief. Interior receipts are heavy with good reports from Mississippi large sales fer tilizers and increased acreage Texas still needs rain. The liquidation of the forenoon caused dip in May, but the trade is not bearish. as the advancing yarn prices keep cotton in good demand. even at present figures The buying on the decline was by spot and mill people. The close was steady.-Hubbard Bros. I& Go.

 New Orleans, March 20.-Liverpool was irregular on futures but shows fur ther advance on spots, with sales ag- gregating 5000 bales. Today the further curtailment of mill output in Lancashire ordered by the government goes into force. The small stock and the tonnage situation fully account for the spot firmness in that quarter. Overnight news of price fixing on all raw material is that the appointment of a committee is rather for the purpose of investigat- ing the new raw material situation and for advisory reason.
 The census ginning report was larger than expected at il ,23l ,263 running bales compared with the governments esti- hmate of 10,949,000 bales of 800 pounds. The bearish impression of the report caused selling ut the opening of the market but strong support made it's ap- pearance to counteract bearish effect ami this action suggested that technical possibilities in the spot position may not be fully exhausted. Fearing am other squeeze in March, sellers assumed a waiting position and the market. after a short covering rally, became an idle waiting affair.
 General rains occurred over the cen tral and eastern states. It was gener- ally light and temperatures continue evenly seasonable. Conditions are very favorable to crop progress. Tho spot situation is unclianged.-John F. Clark & Co.

 SHIPMENTS EAST
Hogs Went for RecCSrd Fig ures for the Season, Car
 rying Up Pr0visionss

Chicago, March 2c-Corn averages lower in price today, influenced by thu reinstatement of an embargo againstN western cars loaded with grain for ship ment east of Chicago. The close was unsettled at s127ss March, and s1.25l4 May. with the final range, as whole. varying from asG1ac off to 1sc advance. compared with 24 hours before. Oats lost 1c to 1Ac. Provisions finished un- changed to 1c higher.
 As corn cannot be shipped east here after except in equipment furnished by eastern lines, it was apparent that the bull side of the market had been placed under a decided handicap for there are no surplus cars on eastern lines. To a considerable extent, the embargo was treated of late as dead letter in order to move promptly the accumulations of corn really for export to the entente allies. At present, how ever, rural consignments are falling off. Depressing effects of the reinstatement of the embargo were somewhat counter balanced late in the day by an inn proved demand here from industries.
 Oats, like corn, were pulled down in value by the eastern embargo. Besides, reports indicated q 10 per cent increase of seeded acreage southwest. Provisions averaged higher as, re- suit of hogs rising to the topmost quo taticns yet this season.
