here today and a reactionary tendency
developed Lowest levels were reached
on the close when prices were at a

of the day.
Technically, the market appeared
weakened as the result of recent buy

Montgomery. March 6.--(Special. state
convicts used in the coal mines of Ban

were paid more than $4,000 for extra
coal dug after the completion of their
tasks in 1917. according to w. E. Mat

convict inspectors Tuesday. Mr.. Mat
thews said the convicts at Aldrich dug
2o.esl tons above their tasks during the
year and received for this extra work
045.02, or more than $1,000 a month.
The convict department claims the plan
of permitting convicts to work over
time and paying them for all coal above
the regular tasks is an encouragement
to convicts and that convicts are SO
much interested In their work that they
may remain In the coal mines after they
have completed their sentences.

tering pressure Liverpool bought old
crop months, but sold new crop deliveries
which ~were relatively easy and while
most traders attributed the decline to
an easier technical position there was
also considerable bearish comment on
the outlook for exports.
This was due to a private cable from
Liverpool reporting that the British con-
troller Of shipping would not make an
allotment of cotton freight room for
March, and the reports that further res
ervations had been placed on the out
turn of British spinners. Southern spot
,advices were generally bu1lish, while

crop months generally showing net adj

crop recovered all but point or two
of their early losses. Reports that Liv-
erpool interests were big buyers of spots
for prompt shipment in the south and
more optimistic advices as to the outlook
for ocean freight room contributed to
the rally, but the market met renewed
liquidation as soon as the covering move
