REACTIONS FOLLOW AN EARLY ADVANCE
 IN COTTON MARKET
Close Was Steady at a Net Decline of 2 to 36 Points Under Mondays Final
 Figures
By Assoeiat.d Pms,

New York, SMarch 9.-The cotton market was unsettled today an early advance being followed by reactions of 10 or 50 pcints, with the close steady at a net decline of to S6 points. May contracts sold at se.4ec early. but broke to s5 .s2c. and closed at ss.o2s. July and October were relatively firm, but late months showed the maximum losses at tbe close owing to prospects for better weather iIe the south and reported indications of in- creased acreage
 The market opened at decline of [ points to an advance of 12 points, near months being relatively easy in response 10 disappointing cables. There was buy ing of May against calling by spinners, however. while Liverpool was a moderS-e buyer oS July and October at the start and prices soon turned firmer on rene Sed covering. which carried the more active months IS to 26 points net higher. with March selling at 39 25c, while most of the later positions made new high ground for the movement, July touching 3.Ssc and October 31c. The demand tapered off at this level, and the market later re- acted under realizing and scattered sefl- ing for reaction, with active months selling about IS to g points net lower. This carried March off to sS .95c. July to y ZIG. and October to 90. 60c. but the close was several points up from the lowest on covering.
 A prominent southern authority esti- mates total ginning for the season at H. l26,OO0 bales and indicates an increase of per cent in the prospective acreage. Private cables said there had been selling in Liverpool on the larger acreage fig ures, which. combined with gradually ris- ing temperature in the south, probably encouraged local selling for reaction.

 COURT DECISION
Rails Continued Strong Yes terday and Will Probably Readjust Themselves
 and Show Assets
By Associated Press

New York, March 9-Stoeks were active and strong again during the greater cart of today's session. deriving additional stimulus from the devcison of the su- preme court, one of whicn exempted stock dividends from taxation, while the other ruled that appraisals of railroad proper ties are to be based on present physical values.
 Trading continued to be dominated by issues which led yesterdays more exten- siye operations. but also embraced nu- merous specialties and miscellaneous shares whose dividend status is Ekely te undergo marked alteration as d result Of the tax decision. Ats per cent for cali money. which later dropped to per cent. and rally in foreign exchange. notably the London remittance, were among the factors in the further advance. which was arrested in the later dealings. how ever. by heavy realizing for profits.
 Strength of railroad shares increased the belief that these properties, like many high grade industrials, probably will re- adjust their capital, with consequent dis tribution of hidden assets"
 Coming in this category were Delaware, Lackawanna and Western at an extreme advance of g points, anu isead;Eg at q gain of BE.

 Motors made a gross rise of P points to 3223 and CrucibIe rose E points to 249. Motors forfeited exactly half it's gan at the close and CrucIble finished at an actual loss of fractions.
 Other motors, steels and equipments. also oils. tobaccos and rood shares, reg istered gains of to 6 points in the course of the day. but of these varied is sues, only oils and tobaccos were strong al the. close.

New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, March s.-During the greater part of the session in cotton to- day the market was soft and prices were affected by more or less liquidation frog the long side, especially after the noon hour, when the lowest levels of the day were reached. After a lower opening and losses of to Is points the market re- covered and developed it's only hard spot of the day. rising 12 points over yester- days close on the most active months. Following this the sagging tendency again persisted, and late in the session the ac- tive months were A to 4s points under yesterdays final prices. The close was at net losses for the day of 15 to 5 points.
 March closed at 8. e5c. the lowest of the day.
 Poor cables and somewhat higher temper atures in the belt caused the lower open ing, while the reaction Was due to private bureau report of 11,120,000 bales as the total ginning for this last season, accompanied by a forecast of per cent as the increase in the acreage for the new. The effect of these figures was lost in the forecast of fair and warmer weather for the greater portion of the cotton region.
