SUDDEN FURRY IN MONEY RESTRA|NS
 OUTSIDE INTEREST
Stock Trading Affected by Unexpected Advance in Gall Loans to Maximum
 Quotations
By Associated Press

New York, February 25.-Trading in stocks today was distinctly affected by yesterdays unexpected advance in call loans to maximum quotation of the past two years. Pools curtailed their acti- yities in the various speculative issues and the trend most often was uncertain.
 The sudden furry in money also served to restrain outside interest or buying. a factor of considerable importance in the broader and more confident move- ment of the previous session.
 Call money ruled at per cent the rate falling fraction towards the close, when most demands had been satisfied. Former tendencies also prevailed for time money, particularly the longer maturities.
 The one section of the stock list which seemed to defy monetary considerations was that comprising the motors and allied shares.
 Gains of to almost 6 points were scored by General Motors, Kelly Springfield Tire and Studebaker, the latter dominating the entire market toward the close.
 Oils, prominent equipments, including United States Steel and Baldwin Locomo- tive reacted 1 to points, also feathers and utilities, while tobaccos yielded slightly on realizing, ana sugars were favorably influenced by free buying.
 Rails and shipping Jagged throughout marines making an abrupt decline in the final hour on unconfirmed reports that the British admiralty had made further objections to the company's sale of it's tonnage to private interests.
 Dullness ruled in the bond market Liberty issues manifesting slight ire gularity. Virginia per cent certificates forfeited more of their recent advance and foreign bonds lacked feature.
 Tnf fo1 vaI Iac (rur 1rynh o D. 200,000 old United States coupon As gained 4 per cent and reacted F per cent, regis tered 2s declining 7s per cent. Other is sues were unchanged on call.

ABSENCE OF MARCH
 NOTICES FEATURE
 IN COTTON MARKET
The General List Closes Steady at a Net Advance of 15 to AZ
 Points \

New York, February 25.-The feature in the cotton market today was the ab- sence of March notices and the strength or that delivery, which sold up to 22.93c or 55 points net higher, and closed at 22.S5c. The general list closed steady at net advance of 15 to 47 points
 There were southern selling orders at the start and early fluctuations were rather irregular. with the market open ing points lower to 27 points higher and with the later months selling off several points after the call There was buy ing of new crop deliveries on the con- tinued rains in the south, leading to more numerous reports of delayed crop prepa- raticns. however, and indications of un- easiness among month shorts soon developed.
 March led the advance on covering by Liverpool and local interests, while there was scattered buying of the later de- liveries, including some foreign demand for the new crop. May sold up from 21.50c to 21.9Sc; July from 20.75c to H20c; October from 19.S3c to 20.Oec during the middle of the day.
 Later fluctuations were somewhat ir- regular, but the market was steady to firm in the late trading. owing to the relative firmness in New Orleans. New Orleans buying and reports of firm spot situation. Very few notices had been expected but the absence of any tenders whatever seemed surprise to some of the near months shorts and evidently had bullish influence on old crop months on the ground that contracts were too low compared with middling in the south to attract deliveries of low grades at the extraordinary discounts now prevailing. Southern advices- re- ported a continued limited demand for spot cotton in the south with offerings small.

Over W. I. Phelts & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, February 25.-The cotton market had somewhat better tone to-. day, the main features being bullish. Values were well sustained during the greater part of the session, although no aggressive buying developed, which may possibly have been due to the serious coal situation in England, the threatened strike being vital matter to the cot ton manufacturers, along with all other lines of business. In the early trading prices went r to 30 points over the level of yesterdays close. The market was quiet but steady around the highest levels in the early afternoon.
 No March notices appeared in the New York market, which was rather surpris- ing to the bear element. The story was revived that spot interests were figuring on taking up cotton on 40o0O bales or March contracts in that market. Very little buying power was derived from the situation in March, phich was offset by the seriousness of the coal troubles in England.
 The weather map showed rains in the cotton belt, from one end to the other. Texas got more or less snow and a tenn perature of 16 degrees was reported at Amarillo. By many traders it was called the worst map of the winter and the consequence of prevailing weather con ditions will be to still further seriously delay new crop WOrk. The situation has its two sides but we cannot help thinking that the over sold state of the market would lead to sharp upturns on any new bullish de- velopments of consequence The close was at a net advance of to 29 points.
