LIFTING EMBARGO
 RALLIES GRAIN PIT
Oats Closed a Little Higher, While Provisions Gained
 From soc to $1
By Associated Prsss

Chicago, March 11.-Lifting of the rail road embargo against New York rallied the corn market today after prices had ruled lower during most of the session The close was unsettled, 1ac off to 21ss net advance with May s1.S6a4 Q1.37k. and July, s1S1A@1. .31Ss. Oats finished un- changed to lac higher; provisions gained soc to $1.
 Corn showed strength only at the open ing and the close. Initial upturns were due to assertions that excessive arrivals of hogs had become unlikely.
 Then the fact that of late nearly con tiI,uous upturn of 35c had been registered began to tell and prices underwent a material sag For the time being most traders appeared to accept the opinion bullish factors had been more than dis counted, especially as further buying or Argentine corn was looked for and there were reports of big strike of longshore- men at New York.
 Strike talk temporarily offset the natur- al influence of removal of the bans against railroad shipments to New York, but de- nials of the strike reports came Just De- fore the close and there was a conse- ouent sudden bulge in values at the last:
 Oats merely duplicated the action or corn.
 Provisions scored a general maximum acyance owing to radically higher quota tiCns on hogs.

GREENVILLE

Greenville, March 11.-(Special)--It ft developed in Greenville that considera ie damage was done to the roads s1a bridges of Butler county during the rsie storm of Saturday. In one place a larss fill was washed away, which will cezf the county considerable money to rebul Another instance was on the upper toe'n road where a bridge was almost waslksa away and which will incur considers als expense. Many washouts in all sectiqns of the county are being reported and s places are being repaired by the county. Other than flooding the stream and de- laying farm activity the rain did not do a vast amount of damage.
 Some weeks ago final arrangements were completed between the city fathers and the Louisville and Nashville railroad company to rebuild their viaduct across Commerce street. Material is on the ground for the beginning of the work, but actual work has not been started. Several reason have been advanced for the delay, and one that the people are inclined to believe Is that the railroad company is contemplating building sta- ton for theNcity of Greenville. The pres- ent one is inadequate to handle the busi- ness that road does here. and it Is not equipped with any of the modern conven- fer ces. Should the railroad decide to build a new station, it will meet the hearty appreciation of their many pa- irons in Greenville and Butler county.

Over Private Wires
Over w. l. Pbelts. & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, March 11.-Increased of- ferings by liquidating longs worked against values in the cotton market to- day so far as the old contracts were con- cerned, while the new contracts appeared to be more literally sold because of the easier feeling over weather conditions Tn the belt, caused by the dry map and the forecast of fair weather for the belt gen. orally. In the early trading 1t was very irregular market, some months being up a few points while others were down.
 There was no general advance at any stage of the day and highest levels at tained by the strongest months were from 1 to 15 points over yesterdays close. Around the middle of the day the old contracts were to 70 points under yes tcrday's final price and the new contract were S4 to 40 under.
 A feature of the day was new ruling by the bureau of markets that no blue stained cotton at all is tenderable under the new law. It seems to be definitely established now that there are only l0 teIderable grades which are low middling to middling fair. white inclusive. Strict middling and good middling yellow tlnged and good middlfng yellow stained. Our opinion Is that the trae is not
 placing enough importance on the re- ports from Paris that the peace treaty will be ready for signing by March 20. Peace would be followed immediately by great demand for spots and better demand for the actual stuff would inev- itably be followed by higher prices. The market closed at a net decline or | ls to 4S points on old contracts and a nee decline of S to S9 points on the new Shepard x Gluck.

New Orleans Cotton By Associated Press

New Orleans. March 1l.-After a period of irregular and unsettled trading in the early session today, the cotton mar ket acquired fairly steady tone, but at moderately lower values on both old and new contracts. After the middle ot the morning tfe trend was lower. chiefly as the result of liquidation of long con trs cts of the old style. At the lowest levels old contracts were IS to 70 points UT der the close of yesterday and new co ntracts were 34 to 70 under. The close showed net declines of IS to 43 points or the old and 2S to 8 points on the new.
 In the early trading some months were ND while others were down, there being liouidation on both sides, while much switching was done from old contract rositions to positions in the new contrac' months The dry weather map and the fore cast of continued dry weather stmu- lated fresh selling of new contracts. Much bullish comment was aroused by reports from Paris that the peace treaty might be ready for signing this month, but trey did not cause any buying Further widening out of discounts on the lower grades in southern spot markets also was without effect.

Over S. R. Stewart & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, March 1.-A better weather map expectation Of bearlsh census consumption report Friday, ana the idea that much short interest in con- tracts had been covered and transferred into new contracts, caused a reactionary disposition in the market. However, gen. eral news as well as spot news is bet ter. exports continue large. The change of current Is the main factor and, ,Fwhile reactions are in order, after several days advance, the general course is again hke- ly to show itself by directing the mar kets toward harmony with the new spirit of improvement.
 First trades were unchanged on oiu March and May, 30 points lower on July and about 15 down on new contracts, followed by a rally to last nights clos ing, and renewed moderate recession on selling on the reaction idea. March con tracts were the firmest.
 Spot interests are holding on to long March hedges to bring them closer to spot prices to cheapen the spot basis May will eventually follow the course or March futures, coming closer to spot prices.
 Old October is easy because speculative operations were on the bull side in new crops and therefore calling for liquida tion on the transfer to new October.
 In spite of the advance, theer is very
 little cotton offered, spots are firmiy
 held and the delay in new crop work ls strengthening opinions of holders.
 The market was quiet around the noon
 bout, with values about 30 points below Mondays close. New Orleans reported 23.OoO bales cleared for export
 The afternoon session was without spe- cial feature, prices fiuctuating within a narrow range to the close, with all months lower for the day the iale months showing the most strength, clos ing with net loss for the day or So hour. with values about 30 points below points not on the days transactions. Spots in New Orleans are quoted uh- changed at 27.25c for middling, Safes, 1900 bales. New York spots marked down 30 points; middling, 26.S5c, Eastern ! spot markets are unchanged with small sales. . Today's reaction is natural course TOT the market under existing conditions hand while the technical position or the ma rket has not been materially changed conditions are favorable to purchases

SALES OF THE FLEECY
 STAPLE LESS ACTIVE
New Cotton Futures Act Makes Reduction in the Number of Grades
 Deliverable
By Associated Press

New York, March 1.-The cotton mar ket was less active today with prices lower under realizing after the sharp ad vance of the past few days. New style May contracts sold off to 22.75c and closed at % soc, with the general market clos ing barely steady at decline of 9 to sS points on the new contracts, while old style months were 4S points higher on March, but generally 10 to 25 points lower.
 The old style March deliveries were rel atively firm during the entire day on scattered covering and opened at an ad- vance of 53 points. Other old style de- liveries opened 20 points higher to 10 points lower, while new style months were 15 points higher to 10 points lower. Cables were relatively steady and the weather map was unfavorable. leading to more numerous complaints of delayed farm work. This inspired considerable Wall street buying of the new style de- liveries and there was also some buying said to be based on expectations that the en bargo on shipments to Germany would be lifted within the next few weeks. Realizing was active however. and while no fresh bearish factor was discussed prices soon turned easier. New style July sold off to 21.9Sc and October to @.7Sc during the early afternoon, or about 30 to 42 points net lower, while old style months sold 22 to 45 points under last nights closing. Later fluctuations were irregular. but the close was within few po.I ts of the lowest A revised interpre- te tion of the new cotton futures law was received from the bureau of markets, making another reduction in the number of grades deliverable According to this revised ruling the lowest grades tender able on the new contract are low mid ding white, strict middling yellow tinged an6 good middiing yellow stained. This was regarded as further strengthening ths contract. but was not considered an i'm mediate market factor.

TENDENCY IS STILL
 UPWARD IN STOCKS
United States Steel Rose Two Points in Final Hour, With Other Stocks
 Higher
By Associated Press

New York, March 11.-Trading on the stock exchanges today lacked the sus-
 rained activity and enthusiasm of yes
 terday's record session, but the ten
 dency was unmistakably upward after
 an irregular opening with many suostan-
 tial gains at the close.
 Such uncertainty as prevailed at the
 outset was due chiefly to heaViness or
 shippings and several industrial spe-
 cialties and the restricted movement or
 United States Steel and rails, which en-
 couraged renewed selling for the snort
 account.
 Both rails and shippings became decid : edly strong later, the former advanclns briskly on Washington advices, whlch
 pointed to a satisfactory outcome or tle conference between the director geenral and the executives of the transportatlop companies.
 Disappointment was expressed at the postponement of the meeting between steel manufacturers and the department of commerce, but the cut in the henhe- colt Copper dividend had little eI1ect' , metals figuring unimportantly in the days operations.
 Dealings were broadest and most ac- tive in the final hour, United states Steei rising almost points to 9S, ana alill- lated industrials, equipments, olis, to- baccos ana diStllilnS issues ""N S'i'7 to 10 points.
