PROFESSIONALS IN
CHARGE OF MARKET
Heavy Buying of Steel in
the Final Hour With a
Slight Rally
: BY Assoeiated Press

New York, March 1s.-The stock mar
Ike. today was governed by the same in
fluences that have characterized the oper-
atoms of the past few weeks. Profess
sional interests were in absolute control,
reported between local traders and "the
western contingent"
Reports credit the latter faction with
an extension of bullishness while board
room gossip ascribes much of the recent
short selling and profit taking to a group
of well known local operators.
Although trading fell slightly under the
recent daily average of 1000, 900 shares, the
scope of the market was broadened by
the activity of numerous secondary spe-
cialties, particularly the fertilizer and
food divisions
Shippings held their supremacy of the
previous session at gains of 1 to points,
secondary equipments ranking next at
similar advances followed by sugars.
electrical issues, feathers and the usual
unclassified shares.
Oils, motors, industrial alcohol, to-
baccos and several of the better known
utilities were hesitant or heavy and rails
retained their listless attitude. United
States Steel fell a fraction under yes
terday's minimum and continued under
pressure until the final hour when heavy
buying injected a sharp rally at a net
gain of 1ss.
Reactions of from l to s points from
top levels featured the later dealings,
the setback coinciding with an advance
in call money to per cent due to with
drawal of bank loans, an irregular tone
prevailing at the close.
Trading in bonds was moderate and
featureless. steadiness ruling in Liberty
and other domestic issues, foreigns yield
ing slightly.
Total sales (par value) aggregated &c.,
10000. Old L. S. registered IS eased Is
and coupon Is rose Il on call.

New Orleans Cotton
BY Associated Press

New Orleans, March 19-After stand
ing at declines nearly the entire session
today, cotton firmed up rapidly late in
the afternoon and went to 20 points
over yesterdays close on the old con
tracts. not including the March position.
and to II points over on the new. Last
prices were 120 points off to 20 points
up, net, on the new. March was weak
the session through under the circulation
OF notices and at one time stood 1856
points under the close of yesterday, trad
ing down to A.65c. 4r-f
Better weather over the belt, the cir
culation of notices and bearish expecta-
tic ms regarding the final report on gin
ming due the first thing tomorrow morn
ing were the main selling influences and
after hesitating opening during which
new contracts gained about 5 points, the
market slumped until it stood SO to 1875
points off on old contracts and 90 to Sc
off on the new. The recovery of the
afternoon was due to realizing by shorts
who did not care to carry their cotton
over the census report tomorrow.
Whatever early steadiness the market
had was due to reports of a better de-
mand for cotton goods at higher prices

COTTON NERVOUS
AND IRREGULAR
General List Closed at About
an Even Balance, With Old
Months Lowest

New York, March 19.-The cotton mar
ket was nervous and irregular today. but
declines were followed by rallies in the
late trading and the close was steady
with new style months net IL points high
er to u points lower. New style May
contracts sold off from 24S5c to 2401c.
and closed at 2442c compared with 24s0c
at the close last night, while old style
May rallied from % 4oc to 25soc and
closed at 2S7sc, with old style months
gradually net 80 points lower to As points
higher.
The market opened steady at an ad-
on new style months and 25 points higher
to % points lower on the old. There was
a good deal of reactionary sentiment
around the ring owing to the failure
of recent advances to bring In a more
active trade demand, the appearance of
better weather in the south and the UNI
certainties of the export situation par
tfcufarly In view of the recent weakness
of French exchange. There was some
Liverpool buying and scattered covering
on a scale downward, but rallies met in
CT eased southern offerings with new style
July declining to 2235c and October to
20. soc, during the early afternoon or about
% to so points net lower. Old style
months sold 80 to IS points net lower
on this break. but there was better
demand around the 24-cent level for the
new style May contracts and there were
sharp rallies late in the afternoon on
covering and commission house buying
July sold up to 22S1c and October to q. &c
and the new style months closed within
a few points of the best. 1t seemed quite
a general impression that the census
report tomorrow morning would show
final ginning closely in line with the
governments estimated crop OF II, 7oo 600
bales.
