COTTON UNSETTLED
in new ORLEANS
Mainly Because of Uncertainty Over
European Political Outlook.

NEW ORLEANS, March 5.-The
short Saturday session brought an I'M
settled feeling to cotton, mainly be-
cause of the uncertainty over the Eu-
ropean political outlook. There were
times when the market was steady
enough as the result of considerable
short covering, but politics. always
was over it as an unfavorable in
fluence and it restricted fresh trading
and held buyers out of the market,
even while there was much talk of
cotton being on an investment basis.
On the first call. the more active
months were 1 TO points up but al
most Immediately there was a bree k
and it lasted long enough to carry
May off TO 11.1s and to put the trad
ing months II TO IS points under the
close Of yesterday. Short COVERING set
in and prices recovered, the upward
movement lasting until they We're to
points higher than the finals of
yesterday. In the late trading the
market was depressed by rumors ca
bled from Berlin that the German
cabinet was strongly against the re-
parations terms offered by the allies
and a break to about the lowest levels
ensued. The close was steady at net
declines on the day of 2 to To- points,
with May at 11.27.

mpelled to cover. The same technical
reasons applied to Mexican petroleum,
Atlantic Gulf and various other fav-
orites, most of which were under per-
sistent depression in the early days Of
the week. Moderate buying of motors
and the preferred shares of such mac
tive issues as railroad steel springs,
American Wooden and American Agri-
cultural Chemical infused additional
steadiness to the list, substantial gains
prevailing at the close. Sales amount
ed to 10000 shares.
Dealings in bonds were light. but a
trifle more varied and irregular as to
trend. Reading bonds followed the up
ward course of the stock, but most
other issues, including the Liberty
group and internationls, retained their
recent uncertain tone. Total sales
par value, $5,275,00O.
The actual condition of the clearing
house banks showed a decrease of al
most $17,S00. 900 in loans and discounts
and an increase of about s21, 10000 in
net deposits, which almost offsets the
serves contracted by about SO, $50 900,
however, reducing the excess to Slight
ly less than s4,000,O00.

cies and other mercantile authorities
