WEAKENING OF BUYING POWER CAUSES STAMPEDE

Provisions gained 20 to 30 cents.
 It was evident from the outset that new incentives were needed to brins about any decided progress for bulls in the wheat market Gossip was current that an embargo against importation of agricultural products into the United States had been decided on by Presi- dent Harding, but no confirmation ap- peared to be forthcoming, and moderate upIurn which had taken place in values failed to last Then renewal of misgiv- ings concerning the industrial outlook at tracted notice. and so, too, did lack of any urgent export demand It was at vator interest weakened the morale of the bulls and left the market bare of buy ing orders except from shorts who hap pened to be in a position to collect profits. Corn and oats were firmer early with wheat. but quickly went lower when wheat started downgrade. Some export business in lard had a stimulating effect on the provision market. Besides fresh
 pork loins were selling at the highest
 prices of the year.

IMPROVING TONE IN
 BRITISH CIRCLES
 SENDS UP COTTON
General Staple List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Two to Ten
 Points
By Associated Press

New York, March 17.-Reiterated re- ports of an improving tone in British trade circles led to further advance in the cotton market during today's early trading. After selling up to IF csc for May, or about 20 to 25 points net higher, however, the market eased oa under realizing and scattered south ern selling. May reacted to 11.Soc and closed at 11.s1c. with the general list closing steady at net decline of to 10 points
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 12 to 15 points owing to the firm Liverpool cables which were ac7 companied by reports of investment buying and talk of an improved de- mand for goods in Lancashire. Early offerings were readily absorbed and prices soon worked up to 12.5Sc for July and 13c for October on Wall street buying and covering. There was a lit. tie more southern selling here than re- gently, however. probably reflectins the increased business reported in the spot markets of the south late yes- terday, and the afternoon reactions were probably influenced to some ex- tent by weakness in the grain market. Reports of easier money rates were an encoura ging feature and local brokers report some broadening of interest in the market based on the comparatively low level of prices. But the buying was not general at any time during the day and the disposition to take profits on recent purchases was in- creased by reports os disappointing demand for goods ana of probable southern mill curtailment July eased off to f2.25c and October to 12.74c, or about to points net lower, with the market closing at approximately the lowest price of the day. Accord ing to one of the cables received from Liverpool the market there has been fovorably influenced by the Russian trade agreement and a better demand from Manchester with some spinners getting under contract. Exports for the day were 24,S32, making 3,5SS, POS 90 far this season. Port receipts, 12,- 595; United States port stocks, 1885, G6S.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, March 17.-While the cotton market made a rather pro- nounced show of strength in the early part of the session today; it fell off in the afternoon, displayed weakness in the late trading and finally closed at the lowest of the day at net losses of 9 to II points. It was a fairly active day in the contract department and the market was two sided. Some of the late weakness unquestionably was caused by the letting go of long cot ton taking during the month.
 The strength of Liverpool caused a
 good opening here and the advance was widened by reports from private sources that Manchester was doing much better. A more cheerful feeling
 regarding trade conditions in general in this country, the better tone of the stock market and reports of much easier money, together with accounts of better spot demand in some of the Texas spot markets and. messages
 from Houston to the effect that prep arations for planting the new crop were backward, put the market to it's highest levels where 1t stood 20 to
 2S points higher than the finals of yesterday. with May up to 11.71.
 The reaction from the advance started with the report that several southern mills had closed down and heaviest selling of the season was stimulated by private messages from Liverpool contending that recent re ' ports of improvement in Manchester
 had been greatly exaggerated. May fell off to 11.3S, which was the closin 2
 quotation on that month.

EXTREME DECLINES
 RECORDED AMONG '. MARKET LEADERS
Money Market Repeated the Easiest Trend of the PreW- ous Day and Was a Light
 Trading Feature
By Associated Press

New York, March 1.-The stock market was under occasional selling pressure to- day, many leaders recording extreme de- clines of 1 to points, while several of the speculative issues suffered to great CT degree.
 Much loss was recovered later on the spot accorded favorites in the oils, equip ments and food divisions. Features ef the rebound embraced General Asphalt, Mexican Petroleum, General Electric, Sxudebaker, Chandler and American Sugar. Atlantic Gulf issues were again the most disturbing elements, both the common and preferred shares establish ing new low records in connection with rumors which dealt mainly with the company's attempts at financial rehaoil- itation.
 New Haven was another weak feature, selling at a new minimum for the current movement for the accompaniment of re- ports which bore on the question of re- ceivership. Among the more representa- tive rails heaviness was shown by Read ing and Pennsylvania.
 In general the days movement indi- cated that the recent rally rested largely on technical considerations, such as might logically result from an overextended short position. Sales amounted to S250oo shares.
 Eliminating the money market, which repeated the easier trend of the previous day, developments of the session offered little inventive for resumption of the constructive effort. For example, price advances by independent steel producers were offset by another very suostantiai increase in the number of idle freight cars.
 Mixed conditions ruled in the broader and more active bond market Liberty issues were firm, but some of the do- mestic rails and foreign war Rotations were disposed to react Total sales, par value s11 350 900.
