NEW YORK COTTON
New Orleans Cotton
 Rv Asaociafad RraSR

New Orleans, March 19.-During 0 good part of the session in cotton to- day, the trading revolved around the question of how large the final gin- ming figures of the season would be in the report due by the census bureau the first thing Monday morning. In the early trading there was much talk of unfavorably large figures, and under it the market fell 6 to 9 points below the level of yesterdays close, May dropping off to lille. In the latter trading the view appeared to prevail that bearish report had been dis counted and the market reacted to higher levels, finally reaching advances over yesterdays close of to IF points, with May up to 11.32c. Closing prices were at net gains on the day of to 10 points. with May at 11.2Sc.
 Week end short covering helped the market recover from it's lowest prices, much of the buying toward the end ap- peared to be for the account of specu- lators, who were taking to the long side. One reason for this sort of buy ing was the report from an important section of west Texas that the acre age under grain had been increased so largely that it seemed certain the acre age under cotton would be decreased 40 per cent.

AND. LACK OF SUPPORT.
 CAUSE SHARP BREAK
All Grains Take a Dip In Days Trading In Chicago Grain
 Pit, With Provisions
 Averaging Lower
By Associated Press

Chicago. March 19.-Liquidation was on today, with support lacking, and was re- sponsible for sharp break in wheat at the finish. which caused other grains to descend At the close wheat was down 2hc to 319c. with March $l.52 to $1.52h and May S42 to s1.42t4 Corn was off 1ac to 1c. Oats were down %c to $,c, while lard was higher and pork and ribs lower.
 Buying against bids was the main fac tor in checking the decline in wheat which started it's downward trend early in the session. Crop reports were gen orally excellent
 There were traces of moisture in Okla homa and Missouri, and barometric lines indicated that the whole southwestern wheat belt would get wetting down over Sunday the forecast being for un- settled conditions. The market was gen erally very bearish, the bears covering early and encountering little difficulty in obtaining wheat. After the shorts had completed their covering, the market col- lapsed and finished near the low point
 Corn was quiet. The feature was the buying of July on resting orders cred tied to a leading elevator interest.
 There was a good trade in oats Frees however, averaged slightly lower because of the decline in other grains
 Strength in hogs was responsible for firmer provisions market early, out prices eased off on selling largely by or ders of commission houses.

New York, March 1s.-(Special)-- During the entire week our market has practically been at standstill wit ! only a very slight advance. We are now passing through the deepest part of the readjustment period and can look forward to a slow Lut gradual improvement The Anglo Russian al liance is step in the right direction and all these agreements foster trade and commerce.
 Farmers are now anticipating the new crop and unfortunately are in such poor shape financially a positive curtailment will have to take place throughout the entire cotton belt. The market has had to suffer severely with bearish news, and any encouraging news or slight demand will cause slightly better prices. The trade gen. erally expect an improvement. but a very Slow one.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

SHORT SESS|ONIN
 THE STOCK MARKET .
 WAS FEATURELESS
With Exception of the Liberty Issues, the Bond List Was Disposed to Show
 SteadineSS
By Associated Press

New York, March 19-Aside from the customary weekend settlement of short contracts in oils steels, motor and se- lected specialties at fairly substantial advances, today's short session of the stock market was dull and featurelesa
 A few shares under recent depression notably Atlantic Gulf, moved contrary to the general list. probably because of conditions peculiar to those issues. This applied in more moderate measure to New Haven and Pennsylvania But rails all most as whole were in the background.
 The clearing house weekly report showed the relatively small increase ot about $SS, ,OO0,0 600 in actual loans and dis counts, much larger expansion having been expected in view of heavy federal tax payments.
 Reserves of members at the federal re- serve bank decreased by almost $S5, ,OOo.000. effacing the greater part of last week s gain, and contraction of slightly over 8, ,0O0,000 in cash holdings reduced the excess reserve to s, ,440,000
 A more hopeful note was sounded in tHe udS . 5SASia al hS"S' duIAOAiIotA'S trade reviews reporting a gain in the wholesale dry goods business over the corresponding period last year, Mercan- tile goods were better than collections and further shrinkage of failures is in- dicated.
 Liberty issues were again disposed to recede, but the bond list otherwise was steady on a very narrow turnover.
 Total sales, par value, S4,65,0OO.
 Dealers reported more than the usual activity in foreign exchange rates, and rates on Paris were unchanged, but the London quotation hardened, with another appreciable gain for the Italian lire, also Austrian cronin.
