NEGRO CONFESSES
 MILLIONAIRE
 RELEASED ON BOND
Harry s. Francis Black, Por. ter Says, Knew Nothing of 55 Cases of Liquor In
 His Private Car

Miami, Fla, March 20.-Harry St. Fran cis Black, New York multi-millionaire. rearrested last night in West Palm Beach under the state liquor laws on orders from Gov. Carey Hardee, was re- leased today when Edward C. Rornfh. president of the First National bank of Miami, and Theodore G.. Houser trus- tee of the same bank, appeared and gave their personal bond of S1000 for Black and $l,O00 for the negro porter em- ployed on Blacks private Pullman car.
 Black who was taken into custody early last Thursday morning after local and federal authorities had raided his private car and seized 55 cases of liquor stored in it. was released Friday by United States Commissioner John H. Graham. J. R. Mandley, the negro DOT ter, testified at the hearing that he had placed the liquor aboard without Black S knowledge. Although Black was still un- der $500 bond to appear in Cocoanut Grove police court tomorrow, he left Miami immediately after his hearing here.
 Yesterday Governor Hardee telegrapfied Sheriff Allen of Dade county. asking in- formation as to the disposition of the case. and in a later message informed the sheriff that Blacks release by fed eral authorities did not exonorate him under the state laws. The sheriff at once swore out warrants for Black and Mandley and wired the West Palm Beach authorities to hold the millionaire. Black supplied a cash bond of 5000 for him self and the porter. This bond will be returned to him today. being automat- ically cancelled by that of the Miami bankers. Black and his car returned, to Miami this morning.

COTTON DISPLAYS STRONGER HEAL HI THROUGHOUT WEEK
Hopeful Business Conditions and Less Political Confusion In Europe Assigned Cause.
 Reduce Acreage
By Associated Press

New Orleans, March 20.-Fluctuations In cotton last week were unusually narrow, the extreme range of prices being 65 to 80 points.
 May sold down to 1o.92 on the open ing session. and traded as high as 11.71c around the middle of the week On ethe close, May stood at 1t.2Sc 8 pound. The list on the close showed net gains of 13 to IS points. In the spot department, middling gained 2t points in the net results, closing at II cents, against fl cents this week last year.
 While fluctuations were narrow, the market had steady undertone at al times, and, in a mild way, was in clined to do better mainly as the re- suit of better feeling all around re- garding general commercial and finan, litical matters abroad Mill reports were mixed, and for while much was made of talk of further curtailment of output at both northern and south ern textile centers. At the same time this market received encouraging ac- counts of orders being booked for fall delivery of goods upon which lower prices recently were named
 In the spot market, somewhat less pressure to sell was noted, but the market did not display any real activi- ty or strength at any time. In quiet way, investment buying appeared to be increasing. February figures from the mills, as compiled by the census bu- reau, were called very favorable, as they counted consumption in this coun- try at 395,563 bales not including lint. CTS. against 366,270 during January With this increase in consumption and the fact that stocks in mill ware 1,335,435 bales, as against 1,273,o67 bales at the end of January, the con- tention arose among traders on the long side that mills were quietly buy ing more spot cotton than generally thought.
 New crop news indicated that no great effort was being made in any. section of the belt to hasten the work of planting or preparing to plant. Ac- cording to private messages, plantins made good progress in some portions of southern Texas, but Texas was the only state to report planting under way ditiiOnBn IL was thought that some planting might possibly have been done in out of the way sections of southern Louisiana and southern Georgia.
 ACREAGE REDUCED
 Advices from the interior were unan> imous in claiming very great de> creases in acreage. which led to pre-, dictions that when planting was fin- ished 1t would be found that the area had been reduced from 35 to 40 pea cent.
 This week will, be short. because of the observance of the usual Easter holidays. The market will close Thursday evening for the week. On the opening the main concern will be the final report of the season on gin- ming by the census bureau. It win compare with 11,325.532 bales as the total ginning year ago, and 11,s0s,- 4S0 two years ago.
 General expectations seem to be for report of just about 13,1o0O0 bales, running count
