MAJ. M. M. U[[MAN HOME ON FURLOUGH
Magnitude of War Prepara- tiOns Overseas Almost h.
 conceivable, He Says

Major M. M. Ullman, judge advocate of the Sixth division, American expedition
 ary forces. arrived in the city last night on a To-day furlough. Major Ullman, who spent several months in France and was sent home to recuperate from recent illness, has been temporarily assigned to Camp Sheridan. where he will be stationed until further orders He arrived in the United States on Feb ] ruary IT, and later reported to the Mont
 gomery camp.
 Major Ullman stated last night that he was much improved in health and will
 resume active duties at the expiration of his furlough- trt,>
 There is much that I might say of my experiences and observations in
 France said the major, but having recently visited some of the base ports abroad, I was much impressed with the evidence of the vast scale in which the United States prepared for war The amount of war material at these points is simply inconceivable, itNmust be seen for one to fully appreciate the gigantic effort our country made to carry the war into Germany.
 "Neither General Pershing or any ot his staff had any idea the war would end so quickly; in fact, the preparations I speak of were for big drives planned for next spring, the extent of which would have startled the world. and al no time did they slacken or let up on their active preparations.
 "As I said, no one could see the vast amount of stores assembled at the various Supply bases, stacked on acre after acre. without being impressed with the magni- tude of the undertaking to supply the millions of fighting men with the mate rial necessary to successfully carry on the war. I saw miles upon miles or bsrbed wire, thousands of motor-drlveh vehicles, seemingly countless piles Of am : intuition and shells, engines of all Xmas. great stacks of telegraph poles and vast quantities of other war material or all kinds and descriptions.
 "Germany quit while quitting was good SO far as fighting is concerned, Tor hao the war lasted until spring nothing, III nv opinion would have stopped our poys in their drive to Berlin. Needless eo say. I am pleased to be back home ior these few days and be sure I shan enJoy my brief furlough in Birmingham to the fullest extent"

Over Private Wires
Over s. R. Stewart & co.'s Wire

New Orleans, February 26.-Liverpool is better than due. The surprise of the day was the early flash from New York that about 10,00o March notices were issued This shows conclusively that much of the bear success in the past was due to bearish tactics and to what sacrifice bear interests will go in de- ferse of short commitments. The mo- tices, of course, were promptly stopped as they represent a gift of cotton about cents under the cost of getting cot ton from the south. The move may be a boomerang against the bear faction by losing the weapon
 Our market opened about 10 points low CT on the first scare, but advanced as soon as advice came that tenders were stopped by spot interests and prices ruled S0 to 40 above opening levels inside of a half hour.

Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland, Ohio, February 26. The Iron Trade Review today says:
 While skepticism among the producers
 over the feasible development of the Red-
 field price plan is crystalized, the iron
 and steel market is carrying forward it's
 readjustment in it's own way. There is
 a growing feeling that the proposed plan
 is designed largely to benefit the rail-
 road and navy departments by bringing
 about lower prices. In the meantime
 business continues to make some progress,
 far short of satisfying producers accus-
 toned to excessive wartime demands.
 While the improvement is irregular, there
 is no question but that better feeling is gaining ground in the east. Evidence sof this improved sentiment were struc- tural and rail business more liberal oper-
 ations of that district would be fairly good. ~
 Uncertainty over the stability of pres
 ent prices still impells buyers to let ab- solute needs govern their purchases. At tention is being focused on April 1, be-
 cause the trade has become accustomed to the quarterly review of prices pur- sued under government control. There is no positive evidence as yet, however, to show that producers will consider re- ductions as of that time Numerous re-
 ports of price cutting are current. but
 when smmered down they usually are found to apply to exceptional cases.
 In the east tonnage of plates for the American Locomotive Co., was taken by one mill at a $2 concession. For the ! most part shading is small in the stand ard lines, and is most conspicuous in such products as rivets, rerolled ma terial, etc. Some producers have reduced high carbon wire rods $10 per ton to $66 Pittsburg, and price irregularities con- ; tinue in strip and unfinished material. A favorable development is the reap pearance of railroad buying at Chicago. Scattered orders for 5000 tons of rails and around tonnage of fastenings have been placed. Inquiry from these sources is better and it Is expected permission by the railroad administration would re- suit in heavy purchases. Tangible re- suits show that export buyers and sell CTS gradually are getting together. That i this is being helped along by the cutting 1 of prices by some mills is evident. In quiry continues more heaAhy and a larg- | CT proportion of it is being converted l into sales.

Over w. I. Phelts & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, February 26.-The cotton market had little tendency, one way or the other, today. The features of the day were treated by the trade in negative sort of way; operators seemed to fear taking a stand. The issuance of 10000 March notices in the New York market was a surprise to most people and even more surprising was the subsequent ru- nor that those who stopped the notices would take up the cotton with the-view of shipping it to this market and reten- derng on March here.
 Around the opening prices were to 15 points off, from which there was a
 recovery and rise to a level 2o to 22
 points over the close of yesterday. Later
 the market turned dull and in the early
 afternoon it traded around the level of
 yesterday close.
