AVERAGE FREIGHT CAR
LOAD AT HIGH RECORD

Reports received from the railroads
OF the United States and compiled by the
Bureau of Railway Economics show that
for the second successive month carriers
established in December a new record
In the average load carried by a loaded
freight car. The average for the month
was 81 1-5 tons, or seven-tenths of ton
more than was attained in November,
when a new mark was reached.
That increase in the average was made
despite the fact that freight tonnage
declined during the month and indicates
that, even in the face of n falling off in
business. the efficiency OF the railroads
In the movement Of freight Is being
maintained That mark IL 1 i-5 tons
higher than the goal set by the railroad
executives last sumIper in a programme
outlined by them for the purpose OF
bringing about increased efficiency in
freight movement
Compared with the average OF Deccm-
Der. 1919. when the roads We're under
Federal control. 81 1-j tons Is an In
crease OF 3Is TONS and a gain Of 2-5
tons compared with the average OF De-
combcr, 1918.
The average movement of freight cars
IN December was 24 as miles a day. In
contrast to 26 4-5 miles In November,
due primarily TO the increase In the

COTTON PRICES ARE
LOWEST SINCE 1915
March Breaks 45 Points Net
to 1882, and May Sells
Down to 1896.

Up TO it's close yesterday the cotton
market had apparently found no bot
tom. From the outset it could be seen
that buying power was wofully lack
ing and that bears were hammering
the market on every opportunity. Yes
terday's selling carried most options 10
the lowest level since the season of
1915-1916. when options dropped TO less
than 10 cents. March broke the IL cent
lovel to 11.S2, net decline Of As points.
and May sold as low as 1896. Al points
down. losses ranging from 80 to AZ
points. The market closed around its
lowest prices. off 81 to 40 points, with
local spot off 35 points, at 1920. Late
pressure was mostly Southern hedge
selling, but there were also heavy offer
ings from Liverpool and liquidation by
local interests. Stop loss orders accel-
Grated the down turn.
After opening easy with 10 to 22
points net loss, pressure increased, and
before the end Of the first hour the mar
ket was off 20 to so points net Near
month liquidation was again active,
with about fifteen March notices in cir
culation. Bears stressed the slackening

the week amounting to only 5000

said that wholesale dry goods distribu-
ton In February was less than that of
February, 1920. Manchester advices
continued gloomy, private cables report
ing lack of confidence in the British
financial situation and predicting that
cotton would be selling at Cd,
After midday the list developed o
somewhat steadier undertone and local
and outside shorts took profits. Buying,
however, was not sufficient to carry the
market across it's preceding final prices,
and the bulge attracted renewed selling
by professionals. New Orleans adyices
said that spinners' takings for the week
were bearish. Liverpool cables were
lower than due and the Egyptian mar
ket was weak. Sentiment generally was
bearish, and. although many agreed that
the markets technical position was
stronger. following the heavy liquida-
ton, few would purchase cotton.
