Stop Movie Exploiting.

PeOria.-MOtiOn picture theater own CTS will not tolerate films exploiting wrong doing or any commereializatiOn of Offenses against society. Sydney S.

"The exhibitors must take the unqualified position of refusing to show any film containing elements of indecency or objectionable matter, which exploits an individual envelOped in scandal" he said.

COTTON WAS QUIET ON NL|QU|DAT|ONAN AND
 SOME REALIZING t
General List Closed Barely Steady at a Net Decline of 16 to "A Points on
 the Day
Ky Associatnd Press

New York, March s.-Tke cotton market was quiet today with prices working lower under scattered real izing or liquidation, which was prob ably promoted by declines in grain, the unsettled tone of foreign ex- change and rather more favorable re- ports of coming crop prospects from the Southwest. May contracts sold off to 17.97c, and closed at 17.sSc, with the general market closing bare ly steady at a net decline of 16 to 24 points
 The market opened steady at decline of to , points on slightly disappointing Liverpool cables and reports of better weather in Texas Except for scattered realizing there was not much pressure against the market and after showing net losses of about 6 to IT points, prices steadied up somewhat on the fore cast for rains in the eastern belt and continued favorable Manchester trade reports These features, however, failed to inspire much buying power, while the scattering liquida ton con- tinued and the market was easier dur ing the afternoon under Wall street and western selling, accompanied by reports of weakness in grains. March broke to 1S.25c and July to 17.26c or 16 to g points net lower, while October sold off to 16.65c, or 20 points below last nights quotations Private cables from Liverpool said the market showed a good undertone owing to the improved trade demand for Lancashire cotton goods, but that buying of futures had been checked by unsettled political conditions, re- ferring to Ireland and India. The prospect for further rain in the eastern belt and consequent further delays in farm work seemed to be offset by reports that farmers in south Texas were replanting cotton caught by the recent freeze Ac- cording to these advices the cotton damaged was planted pretty early in the season. anyway. and the cold weather did some good by killing off insects. There were also reports that farmers in Texas were planning substantial increase in acreage. Re ports from the domestic market for cotton gods were considered without any important changes.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 By AssOciated Prees

New Orleans, March s.-Unfavor- able features of the session were suf- ficiently numerous in cotton today to open the trading at lower levels, keep prices depressed throughout the day and force them to their lowest in the late trading when May sold down to 16.73c and the list showed losses of 23 to 26 points. The close was 20 to 2S points net lower, with May at 16.77c. The weakest period of the session followed reports of a wide break in the wheat market.
 Much of the selling was due to poor cables. private messages from the English market painting the outlook in the engineers labor troubles and in the India situation in gloomy eolors, and to reports of little doing in the spot department and in the cloth markets of this country. Mes ,saEes from Texas points claimed that but little export or other demand was being felt, that offerings were some what freer in some localities and that the basis was easier.
 The weather map caused selling for a while because of snow and rain in the northwestern section of the belt but later was a steadying influence because of the rains it indicated in central and eastern sections of the belt, where they were not wanted. On top of this moisture were further rains during the day in the central belt, according to private messages.
 Considerable interest was aroused by the shipment out of this port of 150 bales of cotton to Manila, the first cotton shipment on record from New Orleans to the Philippines.

HEAVY SELLING IN THE GRAIN MARKET CAUSES DOWNTURN
Corn, Wheat and Oats All Dip, While the Provisions List Took a Setback on
 Days Turnover
Ry Associated Press

Chicago. March 9.-Swift down turns in the value of grain resulted from heavy selling today largely due to ending of the drought which has affected the southwest. Wheat closed unsettled at to 6hc net lower with May s1.ss to 1864 and July S1.17A to 1.175s Corn fin ished 21k @2%c to 3Ac down; oats off 1@1A to 2a4 G2%c, and pro- visions at a setback of IT to roc.
 With snow and rain in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas said to be ample to bring up all wheat yet alive and to assure excellent growth with right weather conditions hereafter, it was quickly apparent that the buy ing side of the wheat market was at d big disadvantage. Smallness of farm stocks of cereals as shown in the government report had been evil dently for the most part discounted in advance and although moderate upturns in price took place at the opening, the majority of dealers were soon seen to be pressing to sell.
 In particular the selling out of two big holdings of wheat, one for an eastern and the other for a Chicago operator tended to bring about gen eral liquidation. Acute weakness in the May delivery was a feature owing to the closing out of spreads between that month and July, and before the day was over May was down more than cents from yester- days finish and 14 cents from recent top figures.
 Corn and oats gave way in sym pa thy with wheat. For the time being the corn market appeared to have no
  tors who had previously been sellers and who were therefore iu a posi- tion to take profits.
 Lower prices on lard at Liverpool together with the break in grain values here weakened the provision market despite an advance in hog values.

HUBBAHD,S LETTER

New York. March 9.-tSpecial.)- Cables from Manchester indicate that there is more business pending there than for some time past. However our market fails to follow any inn provement on the theory that the parity between New York and Liver pool is too narrow and that the diff ferences will have to narrow before our market will feel any material benefit from the improvement abroad. Prices eased off this after noon upon selling by western and Wall street interests due to the weakness of the grain market
 There seems to be a good under lying demand but little outside busi- ness. However, any news from the south of heavy rains that will delay preparations for the new crop will cause prices to advance here.-Hub- bard Bros. x Co.
