MANY GAINS MADE
IN STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK. March MANY sub
stantial additions to previous gains
were registered by popular issues In
actions for that period being easily the
largest and most varied of any similar
period so far this year.
There were intermittent signs of out
side or public interest, but the great
bulk of each days operations originated
with pools and room traders and again
conferred in the highly speculative
shares. Toward the end it became evil
dent hat recent elevation of prices had
created a t~op-heavy or overextended
condition, notably in oils and motors,
which sustained severe reversals.
Rails held within narrow bounds
most of the time, but hardened On as
surance from Washington that the fu-
ture Of transportation lies with con-
gress.
Peace industrials, especially feathers
and tobaccos, were favored and metals
also rose superior to trade conditions,
but U. S. Steel failed to make appreci-
able Roadway in spite of the hopeful
views entertained by leaders of that
industry.
The sensitive state Of the local money
market was evidenced by a temporary
furry In call loans to I per cent, the
maximum quotation for this class Of
accommodation in almost two years,
In well-informed financial quarters the
belief prevails that time money will re-
main relatively scarce until the con-
summation Of the Victory loan.

MARKET QUIET;
SPOTS SLOW
Tendency Early in Week to Improve, But Demand
Fans to Develop and Reaction Follows-Exports
Light and Embargoes to Continue-Weather Is
Better.

export movement will not be large for
a couple Of months yet, as there Is so
much demand for vessels for other
purposes which seem just as important
as getting cotton across, especially
when the ~spinners are not worrying
over being able to get all they want
when they want II.
Weather conditions from this time
forward will assume increasing impor-
lance. So far there been a small
amount of winter work done, due to so
much rain in the sections that ordl-
narily dc most of 1t. The past few
DAYS have been a little better in the
SouthW est, but in the rest of the belt
rains were plentiful and there is plenty
Of room for complaint. The labor stu
alton is as bad as ever n it remat
to be seer whether there will be any
improvement as the spring season
draws near. That the continued low
price and draggy condition of the mar
ket will be a powerful aid to reducing
cotton acreage is generally admitted,
while additional inducement will be at
forded by the fact that food and feed
stuffs show no disposition whatever to
get any lower. There is merit in the
contention that larger areas to grain
will help cut cotton. and the fact that
corn acreage in the big belt will be cut
by larger sowing of spring wheat, be-
cause of the guaranteed price, will be
the means Of stimulating planting OF
corn in the South.
The season is at hand for planting
to start in the earliest sections and il
there is not plenty Of open weather now
it will be dangerous not to consider The
effect on prospects for the next crop
1t is recognized that nature is a more
effective controller Of acreage than al
of man-made resolutions, and If sh'
is not propitious there will be no doub'
of the desired reduction, although a
the same time there might be inter
ference of plans to increase production
of feedstuffs.

BY GEORGE WILLIAMSON.

Failure of promises to msterialize
ana not quite so much complaint about
the weather affecting preparations for
the new crop were among the reasons
for a moderate reversal Of form in the
cotton market the latter part of the
week. For a time there seemed to be
reason for expecting prices to work Up
ward a bit, although at no time was
there any aggressive activity on the
part OF those who were credited with
being bullish. But it proved another
case of hope deferred, and when the
professional bears began their tactics
OF hammering they made feeble resist
ance. The fact that the reaction came
without much basis from the standpoint
Of legitimate influences made but little
difference, and much Of the ~easiness
was perhaps but an expression of
gravity.
After the period of steadiness had
passed, highest prices being recorded
on Monday with May in New York at
22.3Qc, there came a surceaSe of trad
ing on the part of the public and pro-
~fessionals had the affair almost entirely,
to themselves. At the close prices stood
practically at their lowest, with the list
in New York from ITO to 63 points to
the bad, and in New Orleans 125 to SO,
with new crop positions showing great
er strength because of the new crop
situation. In the spot department

in New York to a decline of 1870 in Dali
las, middling being 24.30c in Mobile and
23.25e in Galveston. Quotations, how
ever, were more or less nominal at all
centers. Some further revision of diff
ferences took place, and at the ten des-
ignated centers in the belt good ordi-
nary was averaged about 1875 points
below middling.
Quietude prevailed in the market
throughout and there was little occasion
for wide fluctuations or much change,
The bulls were relying on things nap
pening to change the attitude OF the
~spinners and induce them to enter the
market n buy some of their needed
supplies, while those who were still
leaning to the bear side seemed tC
think that they had already done some
thorough discounting and discretion and
caution were the better parts OF Valor
The mar behind the bale continued tC
carry the burden, and naturally was
forced to keep up as bold a front AZ
possible, for the situation for him was
already discouraging enough. In tn
meantime the campaign for cutting thu
coming crops acreage was being enor'
~getically pushed, but with what effect
i've and lasting success none a say
Expressions from many directions out
side the belt did not suggest that muct
confidence was felt in the movement
being sufficient to seriously lesser
chances for tie coming crop being al
large as nature will allow.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, March There was a
renewal of active Southern selling In
the cotton market during today's early
trading and a further sharp break in
prices. The opening was 8 points low
er to / point higher on buying by Wall
street and some of the local spot peo-
pie, but this demand was soon sup
piled, with the market becoming very
unsettled. Before the end of the first
hour May broke from 2l.20c to 20,9Sc
and July from 20. 55c to 20 ,33c, or rs
to 26 points net lower, and into new
low ground for the week. No fresh
feature was connected with the de-
cline, which was generally considered
a continuation of yesterdays move
ment.
The decline was checked at 20, S5c
for May and 20. 23c for July, or about
80 to IS points below last nights clos
ing figures, and the market later raj
lied on covering, with May selling up
to 2 1.32c and July to 20,65c. or 7 to 10

COTTON MARKETS
Market Dips Further, But Re-
covers on Short Covering.
Less Rain in Belt.
Saturday Afternoon. March 4.


Encouraged by the Ease with which
they forced quotations off yesterday
and a bearish statistical showing for the
week, bears hammered prices again this
morning with a moderate Measure Of
success. They sent quotations off near
ly 81 a bale from the previous close,
May touching 20.s5c, or within IS points
Of the extreme low for the season, and
the rest Of the list was off in proper
ton. The option recovered to 2l.S2c,
but failed TO hold all the gain.
Finals were from 5 points up to 25 off
in New York and from l up to s off in
New Orleans, tone called steady in both
c%enters. The March position was rela-
lively steadier than the other months,
but In no direction was there evidence
Of any snap.
One Of the influences credited with
inducing pressure was the action Of the
senate in passing without opposition a
able grades on contracts I osuch as VIII
leave out the low ones, the theory ad-
vanced by the bears being that this Will
increase the burden of carrying the lat
ter, which are so plentiful and already
so much Of a weight on the market. 1t
was claimed that among other sellers
were Southern traders.
The statistics were bearish, as spin
ners took only $4,000 bales against
245. 900 for the same week last year,
making visible supply show relativt
gains.
The weather was also some better in
the Southwestern belt, no rains having
fallen, and some of the advices saying
that the ground is drying out there and
that work will soon be under Roadway
If more rains do not come. The temper
atures in the belt were cold, but
prospects were for warming up, Help
ing to give a little strength to the fall
months was the forecast of unsettled
and perhaps rain for the western bell
