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

New Orleans, March 5.--Trading on the cotton exchange was suspended today in order to allow brokers and operators an opportunity to adjust themselves to the new form of contract prescribed by the amendment to the cotton futures act which finally was passed by Congress yesterday and was immediately signed by President Wilson, and which went into effect today
 In word, the new form of contract is subject to tenders not under the value of low middling, whereas the old form was subject to tenders down to good ordinary or cotton not under the value O: good ordinary. So far as the contract market is concerned, the low grade prob lem has been solved.
 As the amended law now stands there are 13 tenderabe grades, while 25 old contract tenderable grades are named by the table of "Ons' and Offs made up from the quotations of the 10 designated spot markets. The market will open tomorrow with two forms of contracts traded in and they will be designated as "Old Style and New Style" In the "Old Style" only liquidation will be per mitted. New business will be permitted. under federal law, only in the New Style"
 Naturally, the main topic in the market today was regarding the value of the new contract Since 1t is not subject to tenders of low grades cotton 1t would seem reasonable to expect that new con tracts will open at substantial prem ium over old contracts.-Shepard & Gluck

 COMES ID A HALT
Offerings of Railway Shares Extend to Speculative Is- sues, Causiig General
 Irregularity
By Associated Press

F"~NrN'-N~1
 New York, March 5.-The protracted advance in the stock market came to an abrupt halt today, further offerings of railway shares soon extending to various speculative issues. causing general ir- regularity.
 Failure of Congress to provide funds viewed as leaving the country's transpor- tation system in embarrassing position, but the opinion prevailed emergency re- quirements of roads with established credit would be met by private banking accommodations.
 This view was supported by Director General Hines. in statement emphasiz- ing the gravity of conditions, but dis missing reports of the early intention of the administration to restore the properties to private ownership.
 Losses among rails ranged from l to 2 points, investment issues meeting with support at concessions. In the group comprising motors and their accessories the setback was more extensive. although lley-Springfield Tire was again ab- sorbed, repeating its recent maximum.
 Oils, feathers and shippings contrib uted largely to the advances of the early and mid-s ssions; also tobaccos, sugars and fertilizers. Some of these gains were largely forfeited toward the close, where they were not entirely cancelled, free selling of United States Steel con tributing to the heavy close.
 Call money was abundantly offered at prevailing rates and easier conditions ruled in the dull market for time funds
 Interior banks reported increased buy ing of commercial paper.
 Bonds were irregular, Liberty issues and some domestic industrials shading slightly, while the foreign division held firm. Total sales, par value, were s6,5oo.- 600. Old United States bonds were un- changed on call.

DECIDED ADVANCE .IS NOTED IN CORN
 MARKET YESTERDAY
Most of Grain Disappeared Under Profit Taking, HOWever-Close Was
 Unsettled
By As,oeIatsd prsss

Chicago. March 5.-Aggressive specula~ tive buying, due largely to assertions that commercial values of corn were much below the feeding worth, led to decided advance in the corn market today. but most of the gain disappeared under profit taking. The close was un- settled isc net to Sac up with May $1.29A Gp. 1.293s and July $1.24s4Q1.247s. Oats fin- shed ss@1kc higher. and provisions down 3d20c.
 Many big houses became active oa the buying side of corn and there was scarcity of offerings until figures had been touched overlapping any since the middle of January.
 The heavy snowfall east of the Miss sippi, it was said, would tend to curtaif the movement from the farms and to in- crease average amount for this season of the year and as farm reserves were generally believed to be light attention focused a good deal on reports of de- creased corn acreage and on the large number of hogs still in the hands Of growers. IuA the last part of the day, however many longs yielded to the temptation to realize on their holdings and there were signs also the new ad- vance had led to freer country selling. Oats merely followed corn.
 Packers selling more than offset in the provision market the strength of grain and hogs.
