THE WORLDS MARKETS
Weekly Cotton Review
Bs A5sserated Press


 New Orleans, March y.-Tne sudden change in the law governing future con -aot trading was the main event lh The cotton market last week. and tt resulted d great deal ol confusion ana uneer- Ia.nts, although at the end Of the week the rins wore more settled look, with many brokers and traders expressing themselves as oe.ns confident that thls week would see more normal market
 Nith the amendment to the cotton fu- lures act in Immediate effect. two forms of contract were necessary, in order to carry out liquidation under the old law and execute order under the new. The market was suspended Wednesday in or der to allow the machinery of the ex- change to be altered, but the trading was resumed as usual Thursday and by Saturday the market was in full swing again with prices showing a strong up- ward tendency, indicating that the trade considered the new contract more val 1 uable than the old, although one spot element which considered only the low grade discounts on spots, claimed that old contracts were worth more than new. The net results of the weeks trading, ol6 contracts alone considered, were ad- vances of fl to 194 points. At the high est prices on the closing session old May contracts traded up to 2S.45c while the new contracts stood at 23. 60c.
 | During the week just ended he(trade had liktle opportunity to weigh purely market influences, but this week 1t Is likely that more attention will be paid to spot market and weather conditions. The belt still is suffering from excess sive moisture and should the rains con- tinue into this week the new crop monthS are likely to be affected by them. s4 seems to be the general opinion thas ~x- old contracts will shortly be liquidated down to point where they will command less attention than the new contracts. which would allow new contracts to dom mate the market. At the same time the attitude of old contract longs, who are supposed to want cotton for their contracts. points to interesting possibil- | ties in the old market.

Weekly Financial Review

 New York, March 9.-Pronounced ex- pans'on of activity on the stock ex- change and attendant dey eyeiopments heightened the Impression prevalent An speculative quarters. if not elsewhere that the country has discounted many of the grave problems which clouded the financial horizon in the first months of the postwar period
 Average prices in the industrial divt- sion and various specialties more or less identified with that varied group not only rose to highest levels, so far this year. but in several noteworthy instances, Gotual new maximums were made.
 The advance was almost uninterrupted, the only halt being occasfoned by the Senate filibuster. Defeat of the general deficiency bill caused moderate reversais among rails. which were fully retrieved later.
 Foremost banking interests are expect ed to cooperate in plans for the tenn porary relief of the railroads Such sup port, it is believed, will be given m gen CT ous measure but there Is little prooa- bility of the formation Of huge money pool.
 Interest in the industrial situation con- verged around the conferences between steel and iron producers and representa- tives of the department of commerce TOT the stabilization of that industry De- spite the sanguine views of industrial executives there Is fast growing con- , viction in trade circles that further price reductions are imminent, regardless Of wage schedules. ltl That the country is doing very large and profitable general business and that money is reasonably free for construc- tive purposes is evidenced by the. enor- nous bank 9learings and the compara- lively easy rates for time and call funos'

Weekly Metal Review
By Associated Press


 New York March 9.-The outstanding feature of the steel market last week was the unanimous approval given by producers throughout the country re7 garding cooperation with the industrial board of the department of commerce III the matter of stabilizing prices, The ac- ton urged by Judge Gary and promptly accepted by the leading producers came as surprise to many interests in the trade since considerable opposition had been in evidence as a result of the pup ncity given to Secretary Redfield's plan.
 Action in the steel industry slowed up somewhat when the date of the general meeting of producers was announced 1of last Thursday and there was sllSh' decline in the volume of orders placed. Sheets and tin plate continue to be III good demand Wire products are being featured somewhat Structural steel has shown no improvement except in the number of inquiries which are made. The prospect for improvement, however, IS better than 1t has been for several months. Figures made public during the week showed a total production Of pig Iron In February amounting to 2.9i0,los gross tons. This figure showed slight de- cline from the level reached in the first n-onth of the current year. but, compared with February, 1917 and 1918, gain was noted during last month. Activity Tn pig iron Is somewhat backward. In the meantime some producers of this metal are bling supplies at present costs while others are holding off until an active demand shall commence. The coke mar l ket Is under control by producers and conditions are more favorable than they have been for sometime.
 | There is better tone to the copper l market. Some slight gains have already been recorded and two advances have been made from the low level of 14h cents.
 Lead is quiet but firm and the New York price Is being maintained at around | b.25 to 5S5 cents. Spelter has shown a slight weakness during the past few days.
 The tin market presents no new feature
