COTTON MARKETS
More Optimistic Feeling Re-
garding Exchange Stimu-
IateS Some Strength.

SATURDAY AlleINoOus Etb- g.
With some reports overnight that
prospects were better for the situation
to improve came moderate strength in
the cotton market during the short ses-
sion. IT was said that British authort-
ties are looking with favor on the sug-
gestiOn that the indemnity terms to
Germany be liRhtened. which would
perhaps, If such be done, result in
earlier resumption OF activity in that
country. Another factor mentioned as
inducing better feeling was the report
from Washington that the debts of Eu-
rope TO this country. amounting t.
something like $4,000, 900, 900, would be
funded and provision made for post
poning interest payments for three
years.
Opening prices were practically with
out change. but good support came from
the trade and sellers We're cautious.
There was a fairly good weather map,
but slight Improvement in the exchange
rates offset 1t, and the monetary news
was the dominant influence. With
more or less nervousness the trend was
upward until the close, finals being
firm and % to S6 points up in New
York. In New orleans the finish was
steady and 80 to SO points to the good.
Liverpool on Monday should come un
changed to make proper response.
In the spot department business con-
tinued light and quotations were prac-
tically without change. New Orleans
sold 260 and Memphis 900 bales.

GRAIN MARKETS
Larger Receipts Indicated in
Corn and Market Reflects
1t by Weakening.

CHICAGO, Feb. Prospects of en-
larged receipts had bearish influence
today on corn and so too did asser-
lions that the federal reserve board
was opposed to speculation on margins.
Opening prices, which ranged from nc
decline to 1sc advance, with May $1,000
to $1.312s and July $1.27A to s1,27A,
were followed by a moderate general
setback.
Estimates that arrivals Of corn here
Monday would total 500 to 600 cars
brought about depression in the latG
dealings. Prices closed heavy, &c tc
3kc net lower, with May $1.29 to
$1.29h and July $125B to 1925
Oats weakened with corn. After open
ing NC to 5sc up, including May at
TIC to 77ke the market underwent a
decided sag.
Sharp upturns in the hog market
gave strength to provisions.
A general decline took place later
influenced by the weakness Of grain.

DECIDED SETBACK
 OCCURS IN CORN
 ON BEARISH RUMORS
Oats Make Good Loss, While prOvi' sions Were Unchanged to Twelve Cents Lower Than Mon
 days Close
By Associated Press

Chicago, March 2s.--Corn underwent a decided setback in price today chiefly owing to talk of federal investigation of reports that the market had been cornered by spectators. Tie close was heavy 1%@S%c net lower, with May s1.55% and July s1.5OB to $1.50A Oats lost % @1%c. In provisions the outcome was unchanged to 12c lower.
 Although the likelihood of an artifi- cial squeeze was generally rdiiculed by torn traders, the talk of an investi- gation had an immediate wet blanket effect on bullish sentiment. Many longs displayed anxiety>to unload and there was much selling on the part of commission houses. Numerous rallies ensued, but the only important demand came from shorts who were taking profits
 Increased weakness in the last half of the session was due to evidence that eastern dealers were cancelling recent shipping purchases. Gossip in such cases the sellers could not make delivery failed to act as an offset.
 Oats gave way in sympathy with corn. It was said also that eastern roads were not furnishing the liberal supply of cars which had lately been promised.
 Provisions ruled weak notwithstand- ing an advance in quotations on hogs. The downturns in provisions were ascribed almost wholly to the depres- sion of grains.

 New Orleans, March 23.-Wide advances were scored in the morning session in cot ton today, but later the market softened somewhat. and all months went to small net declines, October leading the way on the down trend. Closing prices were ir- regular. 19 points up to 15 points d6wn compared with the final prices of yester- day.
 The early strength was mainly in sym pathy with the strong rise made by the March in the New York market March here displayed very little activity at any time, and at its best stood only 35 points up at 39.70c. It acted well liquidated. Shorts in May and July were nervous over threatened bullish activity in the old crop and covered from the opening. For while the strength of sterling ex- change was 8 buying feature, but grad ually realizing increased from the long side and short selling reached important proportions in the new crop months At the highest of the day the trading months were 26 to 55 points over yesterdays close. From this they reached to levels 5 to 27 points below. Toward the close somewhat steadier tone was assumed.

COTTON LEAPS UP AS MARCH SHORTS
 RENEWED COVERING
Staple Reaches Record Fig ures, While Close Was at . Advance of 1l0 Points
 on March
By Associated Pres,

New York, March 23.-There was re- newed covering by March shorts in the cotton market today, which sent the price up to 43 1Sc. or 14S points above the clos ing quotation of yesterday. On this ad- vance a few hundred bales were sold by spot house brokers against which ten ders are expected, and the price later eased off to 42 soc, closing at that level. Later months were influenced by the March strength during the earlier trading. but reacted quite sharply with late fluct- nations extremely irregular. The close was firm at an advance of 110 points on March, while May and later months were net 30 points higher to 30 poiRts lower. New crop positions were relatively easy owing to prospects for better weather.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 125 points on March and of to 20 points on the later months.
 There was some scattered selling on the weather outlook, but the strength of March stimulated covering by May and July shorts, and there was also trade D~s4ls sO AN tAASS'. @AioS SoAu tp lo % S9S and October to 32.92c during the middle of the morning, making net advances of about S2 to 59 points, and new high records for the season on all months ex- cept July. The easing of the March ten- sion was quickly reflected in the later positions, however, with May selling off to 34.s5c, or within points of last nights close, while October touched 32 3Oc or 62 points from the early high and 30 points net lower.
 Prices then steadied on renewed cover ing owing to the steady tone of exchange and the steadier late tone of the stock market. There was one March notice today said to be against cotton coming here from Boston for delivery, and three or four lots of May were sold, believed to be against cotton in the. local crtlfi- cated stock, which has increased by 5Sg bales since last Wednesday.

THE DAY IN WALL STREET
General Motors Keeps on the Move-Routne Matters al Meeting of International Mercantile Marine Stock
 Market Is Honeycombed With Pools

Simm Company, he pointed out, was the immediate prospect of a reduction in the price of coal in England.
 This market is so honeycombed with peels, said a market observer or long years experience, that anyone who tried to prognosti- cate price movements needs to be a mind-reader in order to know what the pools are doing. It is a rare stock indeed in the industrial list that is not being nursed along by a speculative clique whose main effort is to put prices up. Such manipulation if persisted in long enough usually results in bringing in a big public following. The pools are not so brash as they were last year when for a long period they were unhampered by lack of funds such as has existed recently.
 The recovery in Mexican pe- troleum and Pan-American Pe- troleum and transport issues from the low-touched on the setback in February has been one of the striking developments in the oil 6ACoP. III 4dCL bnc movement III j. these shares has been relatively broader than in the oils. It is cur rently reported about the street that buying of Mexican petroleum and Pan 'Pete" has been based to large extent upon expectation of an early announcement with re- gard to the Mexican petroleums active development campaign now under way in Mexico. All of the leading oil interests in Mexico are pushing work rapidly in order to make up for the time lost when Carranza put the ban upon drill ing. The first big well completed since the Mexican government granted drilling permits to Ameri- can companies was brought in only, a few days ago by a small operating concern. It had an esti- mated flow of 10000 barrels. The Sinclair Company has a we'll nearing completion. The Mexican petroleum company, 1t is under stood-four or five wells nearing completion announcement of which may be made soon.

New York. March 23.-(Special) In the light of what happened in General Motors on Monday the market in both classes of common stock. the old and new. supplied in many respects the most interest ing feature of the days specula- tive activities In securities. For despite the action of the New York stock exchange in breaking what was generally considered a corner" in the old stock by mak- ing the new stock a good delivery on contracts in the old. the latter after early hesitancv started on the rampage again this time bringing up at 401 just points below the high record of the day before. Then it reacted swiftly but did not go far before fresh buying carried it back close to the high. The certificates kept right in line with the old stock. For a time yesterday there apparently existed a large short interest in the certificates for they were eagerly sought after in the loan crowd leaning flat for a time dur ing the day. At the close the de- mand Tor the new stock for loan ing purposes was not quite so heavy, the rate being 8 per cent.
 Only routine business was transacted at today's meeting of directors of the International Mercantile Marine Company, ac- cording to President P. A. s. Franklin. He denied reports that the board is considering plan for paying off the remaining back dividends on the preferred stock by issuing new security. AL though the 1919 annual report will not be made public before June, Mir. Franklin stated that net earnings would show an in- crease of approximately 84 1-3 per cent over the earnings of 1918.
