(sy The Associated Press,.


HAVANA, Mar. 8.-The worlds chess
championship match beginning here to-
morrow between Jose Capablanca, of
Cuba, and Dr. Emmanuel Lasker, who
won the title in 1894, recalls the inter-
esting fact that although the game dates
back for centuries the first credited
worlds championship was decided only
20 years ago. This was won by Pro-
fessor Anderson, of Breslau, in an inter-
national tournament of chess masters in
London.
Paul Morphy, an American prodigy,
was the next holder of the title de-
feating Anderson and other continental
experts in Europe q few years later
Upon Morphy's retirement, w. Steinitz,

EUROPEAN NEWS
AFFECTS COTTON
Market Is Restricted Rather Than Slim
uIated- In Consequence.

NEW YORK, March 8-Europears news
had very unsettling effect in the cot
ton market today but restricted rather
than stimulated business and early de
clines were followed by rallies on COW
ering. May contracts sold UP from II. sc
to 11.75 and closed at I'LL, compared
with 11.73 at the close of the previous
day. The general list closed very steady
net six points lower to points higher,
March notices estimated at 100 bales
were reported and probably accounted
for the relatively easy ruling of the
near months.
The market opened steady at decline
of to 81 points in response to the
weakness of Liverpool. which was at
tributed to unfavorable political condi-
tions and American selling. Early Of
ferings here We're pretty well absorbed
by covering however, and the market
held generally steady later in the day
with March selling up from 1920 to Ills
and July from I1.92 to 1920. The mar
ket closed within a few points of the
best.
The most general comment was that
the enforcement of allied penalties might
delay industrial recuperation in Europe
but local brokers said this was coupled
with a feeling that the measures I'M
dertaken would soon bring about a sat
isfactory adjustment. The small volume
Of business was supposed to reflect d
disposition to await developments in this
connection and most of the trading re-
ported was supposed to represent the
closing out of recent or old commit
ments.
There was no change in the news from
the goods trade at home or abroad or
in the character of advices reaching here
from the souts. The latter pointed to
a substantial decrease in acreage al
though conflicting figures were given in
estimates of the probable reduction,
ranging from about rs to so per cent.
According to local spot people it was
easy to buy spots in the south today
but comparatively little southern selling
was reported aroun dthe ring.

COTTON STEADY
in new ORLEANS
Result of Heavy Short Covering
Credited to Texas interests.

NEW ORLEANS, March S.-While
the cotton market was depressed to-
! day it took a fairly steady tone in
the late trading mainly as the result
Of heavy short covering which was
credited to Texas interests and the
close was four points down to one
point up, net on the session. The po-
litical developments in Europe were
against the market from the start
and they drove out all fresh buyers,
the market getting its support almost
altogether from the element among
the shorts which wanted its profits.
At the lowest of the day, the more
active months were 20 to 81 points
under the finals of yesterday with
May off to Ills. On the close May
stood 11.38. The weakest period of
the session was in the early hours
while the news of over night was be-
ing discounted The advance of al
lied troops into Germany was taken
rather more calmly than expected
and floor comment was that the
early depressions would not have
been as wide as they were had it not
been for the poor showing made by
the Liverpoor market.
Following the first downward
movement there was a strong recov-
cry on realizing by shorts, which
carried prices back to practically the
level of yesterdays close. A little
later there were further Says and the
market remained moderately de-
pressed until the late trading when it
came back again to new high levels
for the day to Hap for May. At this
price for May the active months were
unchanged to five points up, com
pared with yesterdays last quota
tions.

NO ENCOURAGEMENT
In STOCK MARKET
Again Largely Influenced by Professional
influences.

NEW YORK, March SIN the further
absence of helpful or constructive fac
tors at home or abroad tOday'S stock
market was again largely influenced by
professional interests whose operations
effected additional impairment of prices.
The more acute phases of the Euro
pean situation were reflected in the
foreign exchange market. Remittances
to London, Paris and most other CONT
ffefi tal, points yielded more or less sharp
ly to extensive offerings, partly of a
speculative character.
Scandinavian exchanges were especial
ly depressed for a time. but rallied sub
stantially later although it is believed
that those countries are most vitality
interested commercially in the invasion
OF Germany by the allies.
Conditions affecting home markets af-
forded little ground for encouragement.
Further wage cuts by railroads, notably
New York Central, were accompanied by
similar action on the part OF the West
ern packers. Railroads as well as in
dustrial companies continued to report
reduced earnings.
Trading centered in the usual leaders.
namely, oils, steels, shipments, chemi-
Gals, and several of the better known
rails in which extreme losses ran from
10 to points, a few unimportant spe-
cialties trailing along at similar recess
sions. In the final dealings shorts found
it advisable to cover in Atlantic Gulf,
Mexican Petroleum, Crucible Steel and
General Asphalt, many issues making UP
the greater part of the losses.
CAN money held at per cent through
out the session regardless of reports that
interior banks had added very largely to
local reserves. Equal firmness was
shown by time funds, commercial papers
and bank acceptances.
Dizziness was the striking feature OF
the bond market. dealings in that quar-
ter being unusually small. Liberty LES
