COTTON DROPS OFF
 ON WORLD EVENTS
Alabama Makes Sales of the Highest Figures and Is
 Reporting Planting

New York, March 23-The cotton mar lKet was extremely nervous and unset tied during today's early trading The character of the war news seemed to increase the disposition to take profits on long contracts after the recent ex- tensive advance, while there was also bearish comment on the progress re- ported inscrop preparations, renewed talk of price fixing and rains in the south west. May contracts broke to S2.27c or 42 points net lower. July contracts de- clined from 32.o6c to 3o.SSc. and October from soa7c to so.67c,.
 Trade interests we're buyers on a scale down, while there was good deal of covering by local or. New Orleans inter- ests, and the market steadied after the first hour with prices showing rallies of several points from the lowest al- though the tone remained nervous. The bearish weekend figures were factor on the break. as they showed a further increase of 24,663 bales in the world s visible supply of American, compared with decrease of 96,4S0 bales for the same week last year
 The worlds visible of American is now only about 150000 bales under last year, whereas the beginning of February it was approximately 100000 bales below last years figures. There was no change in the general character of the spot news, with Alabama reporting sales at very high prices and the trade buying was considered the chief factor on sthe late morning rally.
 Weekly reviews noted need of rain in the southwest and much talk of in- creased acreage under foodstuffs. but and reported rapid progress with farm work and said that some planting had been. done in Alabama.

WAR FEVER STRIKES
 GRAIN PIT TRADERS
Volume of Business Small But Quotations Hold Up
 Very We'll

Chicago, March 23.-War activities absorbed the attention of grain trad- CTS today. and narrowed the volume of business, but had no apparent ef- feet on prices. Corn closed steady at the same as yesterdays finish to hc lower, with March s1.277s and May s1.261s. Oats lost l 1s @11sc. The finish in provisions was unchanged to 12c down. ss almost to standstill while dealers devoted themselves to perusal of bulle- tins telling of the German drive. The ban against loading western cars with shipments intended for the east op- erated to curtail demand. On the other hand weather conditions were ideal for field work, and the resultant fall strongly in evidence. Under such cir cumstances, any important change of prices appeared to be out of the aues- tion, especially as few traders cared to assume new risks over the week end.
 Beneficial rains southeast counted also as a bearish factor.
 Absence of seaboard bids pulled down oats. About the only buyers were shorts. Elevator concerns were virtu- ally out of the market .
 Forecasts of liberal receipts of hogs next week led to downturns in the provision market On the decline, how ever, packers became buyers, and brought about something of rally.

New York. March 23.-The feature of the market opening was selling May
 S3-cent down to assoc by local trader. Liquidation came out on unfayorabIe news from the battle front, but on the
 decline the trade interest, Liverpool and New Orleans bought and soon rallied the market 25 points. It was a see-sa W trading affair. after opening July show ing the most strength No rain in Texas and Oklahoma and forecasts for western belt was clear and cooler. There lis no weakness of spots in the south and as long as this condition exists we believe in buying July on declines and advise selling the new crop months

 May on opening, supposed to be for southwestern, spot interests caused a de- cline of 20 points from first prices. But
 the market rallied immediately on cot-
 ering and buying by Liverpooh This
 daily absorption of contracts by foreign
 interests probably does more than any
 thing else to hold prices. News from
 the battle field was regarded as rather unfat torable and caused some liuuidation in the second hour by traders evening up fo. the weekend The market has been pretty well evened up speculatively this
 week and traders generally are await ing possible reaction. The May posi- tion is becoming badly congested- ClevenburR

So good was business Friday afternoon and Saturday morning that merchants had a chance to clean up stocks well and get ready for Mondays new ship ments.
 Local gardens will be in soon. and this will have a good deal to do with the market situation. Cotton is still looking upward locally. with promise of still higher quotations soon.

New Orleans. March 23.-The unfavor- able war news of the day worked Eagainst the price of cotton to a moder- ate extent, but the market acted very we'll at the decline meeting with buying of character similar to that witnessed liquidation from the long side, selling Of this character was on such a moderate scale as to force the conclusion that the speculative long interest existing is much
 smaller than might be expected, when
 the present leyel of prices and the pro-
 longed period over which the improve
 ment in values has extended is given full
 consideration. The opening was at a de-
 cline and the market was soon 27 to g
 points under the close of yesterday.
