SAME OLD SLUGGISH ACTION IN STOCkS|
Foreign Developments Were Center of Stage Among
 the Big Fellows.

New York. March 22.-The sluggish course of today's stock market was largely if not wholly influenced by de- velopments in the foreign war zone ln- terest in that quarter subordinated all other consideration.
 Stocks were slightly irregular at the outset, but immediately rallied, only to lose more than their initial advantage be- fore midday.
 Rails, shippings, representative indus trials and miscellaneous issues shared in the gradual decline, which became most pronounced in the final hour
 War shares, which should benefit in the logical course of events by the further enormous wastage Of arms and ammuni- tion now proceeding along the French front, were reactionary with so-called peace stocks.
 In the case of several equipments is- sues, reasons for comparative backward mess were well defined. Bethlehem |Steers report for 1917 disclosed net de- crease of more than s7,700,0o0.
 Allied industrials were under fntermlt- tent restraint, pending announcement or Washington's new price schedule, and oils also subject to early price revision, forfeited gains of the preceding session. Shippings and tobaccos also displayed greatest weakness at the active close.
 The general bond list was slightly irA regular and liberty issues again fell back after further demonstration of strength. Advices from Washington indicate early announcement of the terms of the next issue, including interest rate and date of maturity. Total sales. par value, aggre- gated s3S50,0O0.
 United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, March 22.-A strong re- action in the early trading of cotton here today was followed by sharp bulge in the early afternoon, which wiped out the early losses and put the market to new high levels for the sea- son. The early decline was looked upon as natural following yesterdays advance and selling was increased by the is- suance of March notices and by reports of rains in Texas. The lowest levels were 21 to 61 points under yesterdays close. From this there was recovery and rise to a level 14 to F points over yesterdays last quotations. The close was unchanged to ? points down, net.
 The March position, which expired at noon was the weakest month on the boards as the result of poor reception given to final notices for that month. Tenders were estimated at about 1500 bales and as the notices circulated con- siderable cotton came out.
 The influence behind the advance seemed mainly reports that the British were holding the Germans and rumors that the English cotton trade would re- ceive an allotment of ocean freight room for April sailing. There also was floor comment that trade buying as- sumed large proportion on the decline.

COTTON CONTINUES ITS UPWARD DRIVE
Offerings Were Absorbed on a Scale-Down by Buy
 ing of Trade Interests

New York, March 22.-while nervous and irregular the cotton market made a generally firm showing today. with all deliveries touching new high prices for the season. May contracts sold up from with &. .91 at the close yesterday but new crop months were relatively easy with the general list closing steady. net Z points lower to 24 points higher.
 The market opened unchanged to 5 points lower on reports of light rains or showers on the southwest. and after some early irregularity sold about II to p points under last nights closing fig ures late in the morning. There was evidently a disposition to take profits on long cotten owing to the favorable average of crop advices, and a feeling that prices would turned easier after trading in March was ended and the sustaining influence of near months strength had been removed.
 Offerings were gradually absorbed on 8 scale down by the continued buying of trade interests, however, while the west ern belt forecast for generally fair weather was a disappointment to early sellers, and the market turned firmer during the early afternoon.
 Later fluctuations were extremely ir- regular with last prices showing reac- tions of some 8 to II points from the best. March sold at 9410c at the open ing, although notices estimated at about 5000 bales were issued. and after easing off to 33.9Sc, went out at 3407c, or 121 ponits over May. Liverpool was not as active here as earlier in the week, but the trade was credited with covering May contracts against call cotton, and there was considerable demand from the south to cover hedges against sales of spots.

WEEKLY COTTON

New York, March 2.-While some what nervous and irregular, the cotton market has been generally firm during the week with prices making new high records for the season. The final even ing up of March commitments sent the price of that delivery to 34 10c, or just about 14lac above the low level of the season made last September May has sold as high as 8. IS and early new crop deliveries have advanced to practically the 31Ac level
 Broadly speaking. local traders have attributed the advances to a continued demand from the trade, combined with the apparent absence of spot pressure, while reactions are supposed to have reflected speculative liquidation or scat tered selling inspired by the high level of prices and reports of favorable prog ress with new crop preparations. Re- newed talk of price fixing had an un- settling effect on the market during the middle of the week
 It was also reported toward the end of the week that manufacturers and mer- chants were getting together to devise some plan for price regulation of cotton goods, which would be submitted to the authorities. These features. however, failed to create much selling power
 The report of the census bureau show ing 11.231, ,263 bales ginned for the sea- son was slightly above expectations, but did not make sufficient change in cal culations regarding the carry-over to make much impression on the market. Easier marine war risks and the taking over of the Dutch tonnage were dis cussed as indicating Improvement in ocean shipping conditions
 A further widening of differences be- tween high and low grades has been reported in the spot markets, with the increasing scarcity and big premiums on the higher grades leading to an im- proved demand for other descriptions.

 The stock market was sluggish during the days dealings, due largely to foreign events. Attention continued to be di- rected toward the European war zone during the noon hour. The only changes of note were limited to specialties, Cen tral Leather and Sinclair oil losing about 2 points each.

Alabama Cotton Leads World For
 First Touchdown On 35 Cent Line
Bx JOHN c. MOSES

With tn world clamoring for the south's fleecy staple, and the supply limited, it was Alabama that hung up the score card of S5 cents for cotton, the highest price since the north and south clashed in arms. This record price was paid for a round lot of 700 bales of high grade cotton at Montgomery yesterday. The amount involved was S125,o0o a ware house firm of the above city being the seller and the well-known firm of George H. McFadden &s Bros of PhiladeI- phia the buyers.
