COTTON SEEKS THE
 HIGH WATER MARK
May Staple Goes to Within 19 Points of the Seasons
 Record

New York, February 2S.-A renewal of trade buying sent the cotton market into new high ground for the moment to- or 214 points above the low level of Feb ruary 1, and within 19 points of the high record established early in January. Re- actions of 1o~or 20 points followed, with that delivery closing at 3l.1Sc and with the general list closing steady at net advance of Il to p points.
 There. was enough realizing to cause irregularity at the start, but the offer ings were readily absorbed, and after opening points higher to l point lower the market soon became firmer. Liy- erpool was again a good buyer and was believed to be transferring hedges from here to the English market, or to be un- doing straddles. The buying by the do- mestic trade interests was again accom- panied by reports of large government goods orders, and covering by yesterdays sellers was stimulated by the failure of the weather map to show expected rains in the southwest. March sold up to 3177c, being influenced by reports of a contin- ued demand for cotton out of the local stock, while July touched 30.97c and De- tober 29,92c, with the general list show ing net gains of 29 to 34 points around midday.
 The demand then tapered off and tho market was easier late in the afternoon on private reports of a few light rains in Texas and talk of increased spot offer ings. In addition to realizing there was a little selling which was believed to be hedging against low grades, and there were reports that southern shippers were offering to send low grades here on con- signment.
 According to a canvass made by the British cotton control board February 2, stocks of American cotton in or afloat for Great Britain amounted to 5,OO0 bales and British mill consumption to 47 800 bales per week.

 Yielding at Close

New York. February 2S.-The stock market moved in aimless and perfume tory fashion during the greater part of |today's irregular session, quickenlng us |pace slightly toward the close on mod |erate inquiry for rails. Progress or the railway control legislation was probably a helpful factor, together |with prospects of better earnings Pools continued their intermittent ac- |tivity in numerous specialties. but the trend in that quarter was far from dni- form, secondary issues scoring to S- point gains, while seasoned shares re- acted l to points
 Standard industrials comprising the steel division were under constant re- straint mainly because of the uncertain attitude of the government respecting prevailing price schedules.
 A marked falling off in domestic orders was reported by many of the important steel and iron directors who are to meet here tomorrow. United States Steel fluc- tuated within a 1-point range and was under greatest pressure in the last hour, though yielding only a slight fraction. The stock sells minus its regular and extra" dividend of A per cent tomor- TOW.
 Not until the markets close was an- nouneement made that the directors of the St. Paul railway had again failed to act on the common and preferred diV1- dends Both issues were firm to strong after early heaviness in the preferred.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, February 2S.- Especially Liverpool buying was the feature of the morning hour. through many different commission houses ~absorhng the profit taking that was noticeable on the part of the outside longs, but not so clear as to other interests. Many of the sell CTS of yesterday covered in the absence of any general rainfall in Texas and Oklahoma. During reactions the market was supported by the leaders of the ad- vance More cotton is moving from the plantations and if the problem of storage room could be arranged many shipments of low grades here for delivery would be made. The government has taken so much storage room that it is almost im- possible to find stores which can take any quantity of cotton. High grades are very scarce but there is little demand for the accommodating low grades. Gen. eral feeling continues bullish In the ab- sence of rain and the small number of floating contracts.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February 2S.--A small ad- vance was maintained in the cotton mar ket here, practically throughout today's session. The demand was stimulated mainly by reports of a good spot in- quiry over the south at advancing prices and by more optimistic view regarding regulation os the market by legislation. Last prices showed net gains of to II points.
 The market was nervous and irregular around the opening. with the trade con- fused over Texas weather conditions. After standing 2 to points up on the first call, the most active months fell away to a level ? to ' points under yes- terday's close. Later quick bulge sent prices % to 27 points over yesterdays last quotations. The increased British tonnage losses and rumors that there would be no March allotments of ocean freight room to English importers of cot ton caused bearish comment, but resulted in little selling. Offerings were mainly inspired by private reports of rain here and there over Texas, although on the opening the tendency was to buy be- cause of the dry weather map.

Over w. E. Campbell's Wire

New Orleans, February 2S.--Cotton maintained it's higher trend today, a- though price changes were not wide and the market was held down to some ex- tent by private reports of rain at scat tered points in Texas. The strength of spots remained an underlying bullish in fluence of importance and short selling in any volume did not develop at any time, probably because of assurance from private sources in Washington that the agricultural committee of the House was againt any price fixing on cotton, which made 1t appear likely that the Ayers bill. designed to give the Presl- dent control over cotton wool. leather and other commodities. would be pigeon
 holed. In the early trading the market was at one time to points under the close Of yesterday. From this level it moved up to net advance of 2 to T points and late in the session was well up toward the highest of the day. lt was appar9nt today that on the soft .sncts tred7 irtArAsts were hfssi~e rrhiAe sntf
