CURB ISSUES DROP
TO LOWER FIGURES
Leading Issues Under Pro-
nounced Pressure-Cobalt
Stocks Heavy
New York, March IA.


Prices of leading issues were gem
orally lower on the Curb, with issues
under pronounced pressure selling at
what seemed to be unreasonably low
figures.
This was the case especially with
several OF the Cobalt stocks, which were
sold by houses representing Canadian
interests. and these stocks were one OF
the weakest features in spite OF the
heavy bullion shipments reported from
the Cobalt district last week. Selling
was heaviest In McEinley-Darragh,
which was traded In at forty-three and
forty-four cents. after having sold yes
terday az low as thrty-nne cents.
The airplane stocks were without out
side demand, Curtiss dropping to SO and
the preferred. which sold yesterday at
65. was sold at CO.
Aetna Explosives sold at S's TO S7
and tho preferred sold at GO to 80.
Independent oil stocks were generally
lower with Midwest selling at 1OSh

Cosden at ~ to IA.

in good demand in the copper group

Trading in cotton was not active to-
day, and after a rally following east.
ness early the market sagged,
Dispatches announcing that the Allies
were to take over about 100000 tons
of Dutch shipping attracted much in
tcrest. and naturally led to predictions
of larger export movement. in which
cotton probably would figure. The news
was not of marked influence.
Selling orders came from the South
but the principal business appeared to
originate In local quarters.
The Census Bureaus report on the
consumption of the staple last month
will he issued at the opening tomorrow.
The attention Of local interests was
aroused by a relatively large propor-
ton of other than American grades in
receipts at Liverpool.
The finGl hour was marked by quick
fluctuations and alternate periods of
buying or selling. which, however. indi-
Gated no change in general sentiment.
Demand for the new crop was less pro-
nounced and old crop today ruled re-
latively steady.
The close was steady at an net ad-
vance of TO Is points.

Selling of oats was quite heavy today
and the market was weaker
owing to liberal stocks at interior
elevators an increased movement was
predicted and sentiment was more bear
ish in some quarters on the idea that
prices for all grains are too high. Buy
ing against ndemnities halted the de-
cline. The demand for the cash article
appeared to be less keen and 1t showed
an easier tendency with futures.
4 great deal of interest was attached
to the meetings Of officials Of the Board
of Trade with representatives of the

FARM ACCOUNTS ARE
OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Determine Which Branch of
Farming Is Most Profitable.
OF Great Assistance In Rearranging
Farm on More Profitable Basis-
Records Will Prove to Be Of
Great Benefit.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
There is no doubt that the keeping
of farm accounts will prove of great
value in determining which branches Of
farming are the most profitable. Il
they are kept accurately for a long
period they may be Of great assistance
in rearranging the farm on a more
profitable basis. In making use Of the
results Of years cost accounts for
purpose Of perfecting the organiza-
ton Of the farm for the greatest profit
any changes should be made with eau
ton.
Hasty conclusions should not be
drawn. Sometimes positive decrease
in a years profits may ensue If an en-
terprise be dropped because, taken
alone, it has failed to pay. Cows, for
instance, may not be showing net
profit, but If all the cows are sold
there may be no other profitable way
Of using up roughage which would
thereby be wasted, resulting in loss
on the crop producing it. Labor de-
voted night and morning to milking
and feeding cows, and charged to
them, would be entirely wasted if the
cows were sold and nothing else sup
piled to utilize it. Thus an added la
Dor burden would have to be borne.by
the other enterprises. 1t is much bet
ter that these things be utilized than
that they should be dead loss, even
though the cow account alone just
breaks even, or worse. Any changes
indicated, If made, should be brought
about gradually and the effects noted
In their relation to all other farm ac-
tivities.
There is nothing like set of rec
ords as a means Of analysing farm
business. To use such records, how
ever, the fundamental principles must
be understood and complied with;
their limitations as well as their use
fitness must be grasped. When this
is done the accounts will become a
strong staff and support.
