NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
By Associated Press


 New Orleans, March 22-In the early trading and again in the late trading today cotton made consider able show of steadlness but in be- tween it was depressed under selling based on more favorable returns from the interior. regarding the crop about to be planted. After advances of to s points around the opening there was a fall to levels 16 to IT points under the close of yesterday. lowest prices ebeing reached in the early afternoon. The close was at net losses of l to points. May rose to 16.72c. fell off to 16.47c and closed at 16.61c.
 The reason for the early gains was the better Liverpool than due while the selling that followed was first due to the dry weather over the belt. the outlook for more dry weather to come and, finally. the weekly re- turns from the government concern ing conditions in the belt. The lat ter were more favorable than ex- pected. noting fairly good progress with crop preparations over i'm portant areas, reporting replantinr and planting going ahead in South Texas and some cotton planted in Georgia.
 The trade did not like the import or private messages from New Eng land, showing that mill labor trou- bles were extending into Massachl- setts, but the effect of these mes sages was offset in the late trading by cablegrams from Liverpool ra. porting a large business being done by Manchester with India. They caused rather sharp recovery and a steady close.

BEAR|SH FEELING TOOK HOLD OF THE
 COTTON MARKET
Selling Movement Was In. creased by Reports From the Dry Goods Market of
 Dull Business
By Associated Press

New York. March 22.-Bearish sem timent among the traders in the cot ton market received an impetus to- day from the continued clear weather over the belt anc the weekly govern ment weather ana crop report which was construed as favorable in it's ref erence to two-thfrds of the belt and unfavorably only in the east where farm work has been delayed by re- cent rains.
 Inasmuch as there was no indica- tion shown on the weather map of prospective rains for another day or two, at least 1t was believed that the soil would rapidly dry out and en- able farmers GO get into the fields. While the market opened steady witA March points lower under notices, and other months to points higher, 1t soon yielded to the weight of sell ing pressure induced by the weather news and declined a dozen points or so nder the previous night. This was later Increased to a decline of 12 to 20 points, May reaching 17.77c and July 17.27c at the lowest of the day, which occurred in the afternoon.
 The selling movement was increased by reports from the dry goods mar ket to the effect that business was yer. dull and that cloth prices at Fall River were beginning to slip in spite of heavy curtailment. It was the belief in dry goods sections that the mills there will shortly join in the eastern wage cuts if present dull ness continues. There were 33 notices issued today on top of 5S3 March notices which have thus far been issued and stopped. In addition. ar- rivals of cotton at New York for the day were 3.o12 bales, including 2,612 bales consigned
 The resulting pressure on March contracts force taem off to 17.S0c or 29 points under the previous night and at one time they sold even with May. General rallies late in the ses- sion followed private cables that Manchester was active and doing a large business and the market closed steady with prices Is points lower to fiJe points net higher. late deliveries displaying the most firmness.

HIGH MONEY RATES CAUSES IRREGULAR
 WALL STREET LIST
CoalerS Declined One to Two Points and Other Rails Were Similarly Depressed on
 Rate Rumor
By AssocIated Press

New York, March 22--The threat ened strike of tho coal miners and more pronounced hardening of money rates combined to bring about further irregularity and occasional heaviness of stock market values today.
 Coalers declined l to 2 points and other rails were similarly depressed on reports that a concerted movement is under way to force q reduction of freight rates by the interstate com merce commission.
 These adverse developments were balanced in part by encouraging re- views in the iron and steel industry, as suggested by an advance of prices by one of the chief subsidiaries of the United States Steel corporation.
 Eliminating several of the dormant or obscure specialties, in which gains or losses ranged from 3 to 3 points, movements in the popular industries and miscellaneous groups were un- usually contracted.
 Pullman, Bethlehem and Marlin Rockwell were among the issues to close at moderate gains. Eastman Kodak on sales of a few odd lots rose 30 points to TAO. Loses of large frac- tions to almost 3 points were sus- tained by Mexican and Pan-American
 
 debaker, American Sugar and Cuba Cand
 Announcement of the cut in the Nef'thern Pacific division from to f5 per cent basis was made soon after the close of the market. The action of the directors occasioned surprise in most quarters, although the roads earnings scarcely justified continuing of the higher rate. Call money opened and renewed at per cent. but the in- quiry from brokerage houses forced the rate to , per cent at midday and 5 F per cent in final hour. Reduced offerings were attributed to the draw ing down of local reserves by in- terior banks.
 Dealings in foreign exchanges ex- banded considerably and for the most part to the advantage of European centers. Sterling rose 1 1sc over yes terday's low and allied remittances were to 10 points higher. Scandi- navian. Swiss and Spanish bills also strengthened but the German mark continued to weaken despite the like 1ihood of a moratorium to that coun- trs o. tna reparationS commission
