New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, March 4.-Seliing started on the opening of the cotton market to- day and was still being felt in the lats trading.
 The opening was at the decline ana lowest prices were made toward the close, when the trading months were 70 to 9l points under the last prices of yes terday. Final prices were at net losses of 70 to 9t points The collapse of the March position in New York, unfavorable German political events and better wealth CT over the belt were responsible for the selling wave. There was much liquida- tion of long contracts, but a good part of the offerings were for short account.
 In the early trading there was a fall of 27 to 50 points. The forecast of scat tered showers in the eastern belt where rain Is not wanted checked the down. ward movement temporarily, but little later there was fresh pressure and 'the market slid off to net declines of 45 to 60 points A weekly review of weather and crop conditions was regarded as un- favorable because of it's mention of back wardness in the eastern belt, and it caused small reactions
 Further steadiness was gained, for a while. from the rise in foreign exchange. but in the afternoon reports of rains in northern Texas, where they would be beneficial, resulted in renewed selling, which put the market to the lowest levels of the day.

SHORTS UNEASY IN THE GRAIN PIT
 CAUSE OF RISE
Oats Follow Corn, White Provisions Took Setback of 20 to 55 Cents
 Under Tuesdays Close
By Associated Press

Chicago, March 24.-Uneasiness on the part of shorts led to upturns in the price of corn today notwithstand- ng further extensive publicity given to misdoings ascribed to speculators. The market closed nervous $ cent to 1Acents net higher with May $1.56% Q 1.5e%. and July $1.52@151A. Oats gained b @% cent Provisions showed a setback of 20 to 55 cents.
 At first the corn market was da- pressed by continuance of selling due largely to focusing of traders atten- tion on rumors of wrongful methods of car control and on other supposed sinister reasons for scarcity of grain at big terminals. The new declines today, however. were of brief duration. Gossip became current that farmers were not disposed to sell at the break, besides, receipts were not large and 1t was said country roads throughout many sections were in bad shape from rain and unreasonable warm weather Anxiety about the condition of winter wheat tended also to lift the corn mar ket, although timely moisture was re- ceiyed in parts of Kansas and Okla- homa.
 Oats paralleled the action of corn. Delays to seeding counted somewhat in favor of the bulls.
 Free selling ascribed to packers had a weakening influence on provisions. The effect of upturns in grain was counterbalanced by lower hog values

BOTTOM DROPS OUT | OF WALL STREET IN LAST HALF SESSION
Leaders React All the Way From 5 to Over 40
 Points From the, i Morning
By Associated Pres.

New York, March z4.-@The stock rSar- ket toppled over like an inverted pyra- mid in the last half of today's session, after an early period in which several TO- cent favorites ascended to highest quota tions in their history.

MARCH CONTRACTS ]. BREAK WITH MORE
 THAN RECENT RISE
Month Showed Slump of 2S0 Points, With the Later Months Credited With
 Big Drops
By AssocIatsd Pres.

New York, March 24-The price of March contracts in the cotton market here today broke even more rapidly than it had recently advanced, although there were only few scattering sales. and only one notice was reported in circuia- ton. After selling at 4l. 40c at the start, March declined to 40 25c on the second sale, and later broke to 39.SOc or 300 points net lower and sSS points below yester- days high record. The weakness of March had an unsettling effect in later, months, and there was heavy general liquidation. May selling off to 37,70c or 8 full cent below last nights closing fig ures The final tone was steady, but March showed net loss of 2S0 points, while later months were IT to 110 points lower. Local traders took the action of the early market as indicating that rfie unprotected short interest in March had completed covering on the advance of the previous day and selling for reac- ton was reported, as well as realizing or liquidation of long accounts.
 The market opened steady at q de- cline of 255 points on March, with other months IT points lower to 8 points higher. Liverpool cables were lower than due, and there was also seiffng on the favor able weather map, which became more active and general as prices worked low CT without encountering any important support. Stop loss orders were uncov- cred on the afternoon break to S5.Wc for July and 31 75c for october, when ac- tive months showed net losses of 77 to 100 points.
 Nervousness was probably increased by the easier ruling of the stock market, and while the last sale of. March showed a rally of 20 points later deliveries closed at practically the low point of the day. Brokers found nothing in the spot news to account for the decline, which was most generally attributed to the collapse of March and a weak technical position in the later months.

 If 'they"--in this case meaning the bankers, could have heard the epithets hurled at them today by disgruntled spectators when the market was weakest, their ears would have fairly tingled. Com mission house habitues were loud in their denunciation of what they called rank manipulation" of call money rate. Apparently the feel ing of such traders was that prices of stocks ought to go on rising without limit. The saner view taken of the general market was that a reaction was overdue and that the squeeze in money rates precipitated it. As matater of fact, many observers have felt all along that traders in stocks should Nognize that in view of the strained condition of credits, sharp price swings in stocks. down as well as, up, must be expected.
 An officer of one of the largest commercial banks in the country predicts continued firmness in money rates until well into June. He bases his prediction upon the increased demands upon the credit supply in connection with the crop planting season wo at hand. The farmer needs money to put his crops Into the ground just as he needs money later to harvest those crops. This demand usually lets up around June. The banker be- lieves that barring unexpected de- velopments, a perlod of cosnpara- tive ease in money should be ex- perienced from June on until the fall demands haofn fO he felt

New York. March 24-Light rains in Texas. which would be a benefit to the top soil, with reports of good progress being made in the Atlantic states, brought further liquidation during the day. The market was xery feversh with the gen eral underton8 heavy. Further spreads of the Sparta side movement in Germany. which tends to make an already unstable situation worse, wns also another con tributing factor in the decline.

I. W. Iax & Co.'s Letter

New York. March a.-The elimination of the March short hedge interest was plainly in evidence whom that position declined nearly 300 points from the pre- vious close, and this also brought about heavy liquidation of May and July. The weakness of new crop deliveries was due to the better weather outlook and the feeling that it Is not too late for a good start, providing the labor can be se- cured. The south was a persistent seller at times. The downward reaction may extend further for the present as the ad- vance has been rapid during the past two weeks.--J. w. Jay X Go.
