COVERING OF NEAR
 MONTHS LED ID A
 SHARP ADVANCE
May Went to a Record for the Season, Selling at 37.05c, With the Close
 Heavy
By Associated Press

New York, March 12-A renewal of cov- ering by near month shorts led to very sharp advance in the cotton market during today's later trading. March con- tracts sold up to 4,OO0, or even with the best price touched by December, and the highest price ever paid for futures contract in the local market May also made new high record for the season, selling at 2 .05c. and the close was steady. within 2 or points of the best, showing a net advance of 90 to 60 points.
 The market was comparatively quiet during the earlier trading. and showed rather an uncertain or unsettled tone. An advance in Liverpool was practically ig- nored, owing to the decline in sterling. and after opening 15 points higher to 5 points lower, prices here soon sold some 10 to 20 points below last nights closing figures. Immediate weather conditions in the south were unfavorable, but pros poets for gradually clearing conditions promoted realizing for over the week end, and there was scattered selling for a reaction owing to the easier technical light, however, and the market turned frmer during the afternoon on renewed covering by near month shorts, accom- panied by reports of better spot demand in one or two of the southern markets.
 The continued large exports and re- ports of better prospects for action on the peace treaty were also factors on the advance, and early sellers turned for cover in the late trading.

.FLURRY IN CALL MONEY FACTOR
 ON WALL STREET Opened at z Per Cent and Upset Plans of Many Traders During Days
 Turnover
By Associated Press

New York, March 12.-Internatioral credits and an unexpected furry in call money were the dominant factors of to- days very irregular stock market in which the early trading was enlivened by further operations of bull pools.
 Foreign exchange manifested reac- ticnary trend from the outset, the Brit ish, rate adding 6 cents to yesterdays late reversal on specific denials of reports ithat the gold movement from London to this country was already in progress.
 Call money opened at per cent, there by raising the hopes of those who were apprehensive that current heavy tax pay ments would create stringent conditions over the weekend. >These hopes were dashed later when the rate rose stad- fly to IS per cent, that question prevailing at the heavy close
 Bulk of today's dealings centered again in motors and their subsidiaries, aaso oils, equipments and rails Exertme ad- vances of 2 to 10 points in these issues were finally reduced or altogether diasi- pated heavy selling attending the move ments of money.
 Conspicuous features of the early ad vance and subsequent decline were Gan eraI Motors, in which a W-point gain was followed by a l51z-point reaction, involv- ing a net loss of 11z points, and Cruicfcle Steel which forfeited substantial gain and more besides.
 Among other industrials and specialties the swing from high to low ranged from ? to 6 points, losses of to 5 points pre- vailihg at the end, when the transporta- tions also yielded.
 In the bond market irregularity Mt ured@ the trading in foreign issues, the Liberty group showing comparative steadiness.
 Changes among domestic rails and fn- dustrials were nominal on smaller offer iags. Total sales, par value, aggreg3ed s11, ,750000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call

Chicago.

Oats finished a shads to %c down and provisions varied from 45c decline to Pc advance.
 Many sellers of corn took the posf- ton that the market was due for a setback. inasmuch as prices were said to have gone above the feeding value of the cereal Besides the temporary decline in sterling attracted attention, and so too. did an advance in ocaam. rates for foodstuffs to Great Britain On the other hand. wet weather pre- vailed country roads were said to have broken up and there was no generzft improvement in sight regarding the supply of railroad cars. As a conse- cuence. pit offerings were readily Ab- sorbed on the declines and during~fhA last part of the day the selling pxaz3 sure slackened Rallies which a1sex,ezE did not develop sufficient force, hnmp- ever, to overcome losses entirely.
