COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The cotton
market showed the effect Of conflict
ing influences during today's early
trading. The weather map showed
yesterdays rains in eastern belt Sec
tions. but clearing conditions were re-
ported this morning and the prospects
for more favorable weather combined
with the coal strike and continuation
Of labor troubles in New England
promoted realizing for over the week
end. The opening was points higher
to 2 points lower, with active months
selling net unchanged to 3 points
lower right after the call, but. If any
thing. week end reviews OF the cot
ton goods trade were a little more
encouraging and the market showed
q steady undertone around 1928 for
July and 1881 for October.
= NEW ORLEANS, April 1.-The coal
strike had little effect against cot
ton values today. and many brokers'
declared that is had been discounted.
During the first call the near months
traded q point higher than the close
of yesterday, but after the call the
list sank to level 3 to points under
yesterdays Anal prices More favor
able weather over the belt caused
selling in a small way. May sold up

Announces $4,000, 900, With Pol

NEW YORK, April 1.-Stockholders
of the National City Bank have been
Informed that the directors have
created a -million-dollar reserve
for contingencies, by direct charge to
undivided profits in that amount. A
policy of maintaining the fund at not
less than s5.ooo.0eo was approved by
the board.
. The step was taken, Charles e.
Mitchell, the president, said In a let
ter. to provide for such shrinkage as
may occur in doubtful accounts and
to take up possible losses that may be
revealed. Referring to the readjust-
ment ST business attendant on the
war and the losses suffered by COM
mercial banking houses. Mr.. Mitchell
said the banks had been substantial,
ascribable and in proportion to the
volume and extent of its operations.

STOCK MARKET MOVES
UPWARD DURING week

NEW YORK, April Subject to
occasional setbacks, the stock market
this week moved irregularly and less
actively to higher levels Many lead
ers OF the railway, industrial and mis-
celfsneous groups recorded highest
prices Of the year.
This was equally true OF the bond
market. In which secondary or specu-
lative rails were most extensively
traded in with liberty issues. Many
OF the latter registered gains of two
and three points over minimum quo
tations of recent months.
Improvement in Industrial condi-
ttons, as Indicated by the marked In
crease In the output Of iron and steel,
better railroad returns, net as well as
gross. and enlarged buying of general
merchandise for spring requirements
were the main propelling factors.
The overwhelming strike Of the
coal miners. labor disturbances In the
New England textile trade and the
course Of tax legislation at Washing
ton evidently were not regarded as
serious detriments by the speculative
element.
Settlements at the end Of the years
first quarter were effected without
strain to the money market. Call
loans held at relatively low rates,
and two Of the important interior re>
serve centers reduced their redis-
counts ;. 4 -,..--..
