New York March S.-The European news had very unsettling effect in the cotton market today, but restricted rather than stimulated business and early declines were followed by rallies en covering, May contracts sold up from li5oc to n.74c, and closed at 1l.nc, com pared with fi i.7sc at the close of the pre- vious day. The general list closed very steady net six points lower to seven points higher. March notices estimated al 100 bales were reported and probably accounted for the relatively easy ruling o. the near months
 The market opened steady at a decline of to s4 points in response to the weak ness of Liverpool which was attributed to unfayorable poiis.ce, conditions and American selling Early offerings here were pretty we'll absorbed by covering, however, and the market held generally steady later in the day with March sell ing up from 10 soc to 11.iSc and July from H. s2c to 1220c. The market closed with in a few points of the best. The most general comment was that the enforce nent of allied penalties might delay in- dustrial recuperation in Europe but To- cal brokers said this was coupled with
 
 would soon bring about a satisfactory adjustment. The small volume of busi- ness was supposed to reflect a disposi- tion to await developments in this con nection and most of the trading report ed was supposed to represent the closing out of recent or old commitments. 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 south. The latter pointed to sub stantial decrease in acreage, although conflicting figures were given in esti- mates of the probable reduction, rang ing from about 9 to 50 per cent Ac- cording to local spot people if was easy to buy spots in the south today but comparatively little southern selling vas reported around the ring.

ANTICIPATION OF REPORT
 WEAKENS WHEAT MARKET
 IN THE CHICAGO GRAIN PIT
By Associated Press

Chicago, March s.--Correct anticipa- tions that the government report on farm reserves would prove bearisn tended today to weaken the wheat mar ket in the late dealings. Prices closed unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to 1 S-4 lower with March 1.S6 to l66 1-4 and May 1.5s to 1.59 1-4. Corn lost 3-S to 1-265-S and oats 1-4 to 3-S@1-2c. In provisions the out come varied from 1-2c decline to DC advance.
 Wheat traders displayed unusual cautiousness until the last hour, but then as a rule veered to the assunp- ton that the amount of wheat held on farms would prove to be larger than had been generally estimated Most of the seeming pressure came from hold CTS of March contracts, who desired to substitute the May delivery. On the surprise in that the majority of guess es beforehand put the total of farm reserves much below the governments actual figures No other influence than the government report attracted any special attention except rainy weather which at the opening counted some what against the bulls. Developments regarding Germany and the allies were practically ignored.
 Corn and oats were governed by the action of wheat.
 Provisions averaged higher with hogs Announcement of changes in la bor conditions at the packing houses had no appreciabie effect on the mar ket.

New Orleans, March s.--While the cotton market was depressed today. 1t took fairly steady tone in the late trading mainly as the result of heayy short covering which was credited to Texas interests, and the close was four points down to one point up. net on the session. The political develop ments in Europe were against the market from the start and they drove out all fresh buyers, the market get ting it's support almost altogether from the element among the shorts which wanted it's profits At the low est of the day the more active months were 20 to 27 points under the finals of yesterday, with May off to 111S. On the close May stood at 1f.3S. The weakest period of the season was in the early hours while the news of overnight was being discounted. The advance of allied 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 Liverpool market. Following the first downward movement there was strong recovery, on realizing by shorts which carried prices back to practically the level of yesterdays close. A little later there were further sags and the market remained mod erately depressed till the late trading when it came back again to new high levels for the day to 11.42 for May Al the price for May the active months 5 were unchanged to five points up. compared with yesterdays last quota tions

Ferocious Rhino Becalmed

Carl F. Akeley, in the Worlds Work.
 I was going along the bank cf the rana river one day with my camera. Suddenly was set all a-quiver by the threshings and snortinss of rhino com ing through the bushes in my direction. very hastily took stock of the situation. There was nothing to climb. The bushes were thrust aside and he came full tilt into the opening where he could sec me. Everything was set for the final act. lie suddenly stopped with snort His head dropped. His eyes almost closed. He looked as if he were going to sleep The terrible beast had become absolutely iudicrous. While this was going on I felt a poke in my back. I reached be. lind and took my rifle from the Eunboy who had come up with equal celerity and bravery I drew bead on the old fei- low but could not shoot. A stupider or more iudicrous looking object I never saw. I began talking to him but it did not rorse him from his lethargy. There he stood half asleep and totally oblivious, while I, with the gun half aimed, talked to him about his ugly self.

 report of the banks in Georgia is more favorable than for some time and this restrained the south from selling. The market was quiet during most of the afternoon, prices remaining around last nights figures Any favorable news from abroad could undoubtedly cause a con- tinued better feeling and resultant ad- vance in prices.-Hubbard Broa & Co.

New York, March S.-In the further absence of helpful or constructive fac tors at home or abroad, today's stocH market was again largely influenced by professionals, whose operations affected additional impairment of prices.
 The more acute phases of the Euroo- can situa ton were reflected in the for eign exchange market. Remittances to London, Paris and most of their conti- mental points yielded more or less sharply to extensive offerings, partly of a speculative character.
 Scandinavian exchanges were espec- ,lially depressed for time, burt rallied substantially later, although it s be- 1ieved that those countries are most vit. ally interested commercially in the in- yasion of Germany by the allies.
 Conditions affectings home markets af. tforded little srpund for encouragement Further wage cuts by the railroads. mo- panied. by similar action on the part O. the western packers. Railroads as we'll as industrial companies continued to re- pert reduced earnings.
 Trading centered in the usual leaders, namely, oils, steels. shippings. chemicals s iand several of the better-known rails. Yin vASeh extreme losses ran from to {
 
 trailing along at similar recessions. In the final dealings shorts found it sdvis- able to cover in Atlantic Gulf, Mexican Petroleum, Crucible Steel and General Asphalt, many issues making up the greater part of their losses. Sales amounted to 10000 shares.
 Call money held at per cent through out the session, regardless of reports that banks had added very largely to local reserves.
