NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 By Associated Press

New Orleans, March 1.-The ten dency in cotton today was to gradual . ly sag under offerings due to better weather over the belt and to uneasi- ness over the English labor situation. After making declines of to points around the opening the mar ket came back and traded l to ? points higher than yesterdays finals on the most active months but little later it fell off again and finally worked down to levels to 12 points under the close of yesterday. May sold down to 16.70c and closed at 16.74c. On the close prices were at net declines of to 8 points.
 The weather map noted no rain in the western and central portions of the belt and, while there was rain in the Atlantcs. the weather there was clearing. The forecast called for dry weather in all sections of the belt and was the main influence in the late trading.
 Messages by wire to brokers here from Charlotte, N. C., said that spin ners in Gaston county had decided on a drastic cut in their output and this information caused more O rless sell ing, all the more so because tele- grams from spot people In the east ern belt claimed that mills in that section were not showing any interest in the spot market.

ADVANCING TREND CONTINUES IN THE
 WALL STREET LIST
Foreign Exchanges Sustained Sharp ReversaIs, Mainly in Consequence of British
 Crisis in India
Ky Associntnd Press

NeW York, March 1.-The ad- vancing trend of prices on the stock exchange was continued this week with occasional setbacks. many pop ular shares exceeding previous high records of the year. Speculative is- sues oyershadowed investment stocks. both in activity and extent of gains. The movement derived much of it's stability. however. from the progress siye demand for dividend paying rails.
 The most constructive influence was the higher prices schedules adopted by number of independent steel manufacturers. their action be- ing confidence in the immediate fu- ture of that industry. Similar ten dencies were observed in the auto mobile and copper trades and among sfoodstuffs the better inquiry for sugar was accompanied by an up- ward revision in the raw and refined products.
 Traders ignored the manuaunfa vorable 1921 financial statements, nearly all of which revealed drastic reduction of inventories. Almost the only favorable exhibit for that period W do Nhc StdtCHitHl OI r, which reported the best year in it's history.
 Tonnage movements on leading railway systems were generally in excess of the corresponding week of the last two years. Steady accumula . ton of some of the secondary trans portation stocks. particularly Ann Arbor common and preferred and several of the cheaper coalers re- vived rumors of mergers or change of control to new and stronger in- terests.
 Lower money rates stimulated the markets speculative operations and accelerated the underwriting of new corporate offerings as well as muni cipals, notably the new city of De- troit and several Canadian issues.
 Foreign exchanges sustained sharp reversals. mainly in consequence of the British crisis in India, but the movement did not extend to far east ern remittances, those holding firm for the most part
 The demand of the United States government that it's Rhineland army expenses be met out of the German reparations payments injected a new element into the European economic situation. Bankers were of the opinion, however, that the allies would yield to the Washington gov ernment.

Aduance in Plates Feature of Steel
 Market Past Week
Ny Associated Press

New York. March 1.-The feature in the steel market this week was the advance of s1.50 in plates, bars and shapes by leading independent companies. This has given the whole market rather sfeadier appearance, while continued buying of structural materials and by the railroads gave promise of further expansion in gem eral business; otherwise. prices are steady with some disposition to anticI ipate coal strike.
 Pig iron was steady. but new busi- ness is not as active as predicted and in some localities competition is still keen.
 In the copper market there has been improvement. Export trade has shown more activity with the i'm porters more interested while there has been considerable business for the continent. Buyers for domestic con sumption have also shown consider able interest and while the business has not been heavy or general, it has been sufficient to establish the gem eral market on parity with the price views of the larger producers who are taking orders for March and April shipment at the 1S-cent level and asking advances of about an eighth for forward deliveries.
 Tin has declined about cent from the recent high, both prompt ano future straits being available at 2SAc. Large arrivals at New York and easier sterling exchange were chiefly responsibIe for the reaction.
 Lead remains in a firm position due to reduced stocks at the west and good general demand
 Zinc has ruled steadier with a mod crate advance based on more opium istic feeling because of better reports from the steel industry and reports from abroad of decreasing supplies.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE HAS DAY
 OF NERVOUSNESS
Wheat Finished on a SeesaW, Corn Went Higher, With Oats and Provisions
 Up and Down
By Asso, rased Press

Chicago March 11.-Light trading, quick changes in prices and general nervousness marked today's short session of the Chicago Board of Trade. Most of the transactions were by local traders. Wheat fin ished ,kc lower to Mc higher; corn, # to 24c higher; oats unchanged to Ac higher and provisions from I21a to 17c lower.
 Wheat opened weak on depressing cables but took on new life when corn showed independent strength and later bulged sharply when local shorts, who had sold freely on the opening decline, were driven to cover With this movement ended there was nothing to interest the market and prices sagged feebly.
 Within the last 15 minutes wheat touched the low point of the day but scored recovery of full cent be- fore the close.
 The government report showing mill and elevator stocks of 73,000, 900 bushels was 5000 900 less than last year, but was, nevertheless, con strued as bearish as farm reserves of 204, ,00D,0o0 bushels indicated that there was still plenty of wheat for export.
 Local buying gave early strength to the corn market but was not ex- tensive enough to hold it up through out the session. Outside trade was light and tho market towards the last swung into the path blazed by the wheat pit.
 Oats were dull. The bulk of the operations were trades in the May and July spread
 There was some eastern buying of provisions, but on the whole that portion of the market was dull. There was enough scattered selling to make for lower prices.

F. J. LINELL & CO.'S LETTER

New Orleans. March 1I.=(Special) ] Notwithstanding unfavorable labor developments. domestic and foreign. and uneasiness concerning the situa- tion in India. the market was sustain ed the past week by unfavorable weather in the cotton region, ex- cessive rains, having occurred Tn the Mississippi valley and South Allan tic states, tarrential in localities of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, while insufficient rain fell in west Texas.
 As result. crop preparation re- ports are generally unsatisfactory, the rain delaying farm work in the central and eastern portions of the belt, while blowing is backward in West Texas for the want of moisture. and as it was only recently that early planted cotton in southwest Texas was damaged or killed by the freeze, all hope of the crop making an early start has ben abandoned
 Therefore, the last half of March is approaching with preparations. in- stead of being we'll advanced to en- able the crop to work ahead of the weevil especially in the central and eastern portions of the belt and in west Texas.
 If the last half of March proves generally wet, a normal. much less an early start is unlikely. making a late start more probable. In that event preparations would be handi- capped by the possibility of further rains during the month of April which is noted for showers.
 A wet April would be followed by the beautiful month of May, and al though called beautiful. the average precipitation for May is the heaviest of any month in the year.
 If planting is delayed by wet weather during the next six weeks,

Georgia Fighting
 For Watermelon Rates
By Associated Press

Washington, March 11.-Present freight rates Twill check if they do not destroy the watermelon business of Georgia" former Senator HoKe Smith of that state declared today at the interstate commerce commis- sons inquiry into general transpor tation levels.
 "If the freight rates on water melons," asserted Senator Smith, "are lowered to figure which will leave a profit for the growers, it is prob able that this business will increase and be profitable to the growers"
 Senator Smith asserted that when railroads have normally the lightest volume of traffic and re- quire no special equipment. Conse- quently from the economic point of view, he added, the railroads should decrease the charges.
 Watermelons, manufactured iron and steel, cast iron pipe and building materials Senator Smith declared are given identical rates under freight classifications and this of it. self he considered unfair. Unless re- ductions are granted by summer, he said in concluding, railroads can not look further to any considerable freight from Georgia out of melons."

Lighter Production Is Now Noticeable
 In Cotton Goods
By BRIGGS

New York March 11.-Lighter pro- duction is beginning to be noticeable in cotton mill centers, due to the hazards of a narrow profit margin in scurrent prices for cloths and yarns. The demand continues light and as orders are beginning to run out mills hesitate to pile up stocks. Prices have shown a tendency to weaken and strikes continue in the New England district During the week one of the large lines of wide sheeting was offered in limited way on memorandum not to cost more tan a basis about 10 per cent be- low the last one established, and this is expected to be followed later on by general revision.
 Bleached goods continue quiet and enc of the largest printers is curtail- iEg production a third Affth of the gingham output is curtailed by a strike in the largest mills. Some im- pFovement is noted in the call for three-yard sheetings for export. but the prices have not been inviting. 1 Competition for business is sharp, and buyers still make engagements guardedly on any of the leading fin ished staples. Wide print cloths have weakened Ac and sheetings barely held steady.
 Wash fabrics trade Is confined lal gely to specialties and novelties, many of the staples moving slowly. Credit conditions have tended to re- strict the booking of some business offered. In the yarn markets prices on some numbers have weakened while others have barely held steady in the face of a firm cotton market. Knit goods of cotton are being bought sparingly.
 Current wholesale prices are as follows: Print cloths. 2S-inch, 64x64s, 61kc; 64x6Os, 6hc; SS1s-inch 64x64s, S9sc; brown sheetings, southern standards, 11l2c; denims 2.2os, 17c; tickings. S-ounce, 25c; prints, He; staple ginghams, 16hc; dress ging- hams 2nM22lac.

SENTIMENT AGAIN BULL|SH IN THE
 STOCK TRADING
Clearing House Loans and Discounts Were Very Ma terialIy Reduced During
 the Past Week
By Associated Prese

New York. March 11.-Stock market sentiment again was decidedly bull ish during today's brief trading ses- sion, although prices moved uncer- tainly at the outset as result of pressure directed against local trac- tions.
 The plan of the Interborough Rapid Transit company to sever relations with it's leased lines, most of which are held under costly guarantees, caused sharp breaks, but these were partially recovered later. Motors and their rubber subsidiaries equip ment, independent steels and the copper group were especially strong. Rails and oils Jagged by contrast, but made marked improvement before the close.
 Clearing house loans and discounts were materially reduced during the week regardless of the active stock market the actual contraction ap- proximating s22,70o. GOO.

STEADY TON%JO
 COTTON CAUSED
 BY BAD WEATHER
General Staple List Closed Easy at a Net Decline of Four to Thirteen Points
 on the Day
By Associated Press

New York, March 11.-Reports of further rains in the eastern belt gave the cotton market a steady tone dur ing today's early trading, but prices sagged off later on the forecast for clearing weather and realizing for over the weekend May contracts declined from IS.1Sc to IS .03c, with the market closing easy at net de- cline of to g points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of to points on the weather map showing further rains in the south and overnight buying orders. There was some buying here for Liverpool account, but otherwise demands tapered off right after the call, and the market turned easier after the publication of the favor able eastern belt forecast. March contracts sold off to IS. 32c and July to BOG, with active months gem orally showing net losses of to Il points in the late trading and clos ing at the lowest.
 Probably there was some scattered selling on apprehensions that the lockout of British engineers, begin ming today, would have a depressing effect in Liverpool on Monday. The disposition to close out long con- tracts for over the weekend was also promoted by the failure of weekend reviews to show any improvement in the domestic goods market and uncertainty as to the showing of the census report on supply and distribu- tion due next week.
 It is apprehended that this will show some falling off in domestic mill consumption for February as compared with January, owing to the labor troubles. Sales of print cloths in the Fall River market for the week were estimated at 100000 pieces and the curtailment was placed at 125,0o0 Mill curtai1ment in New England was said to be increasing, and there were continued reports that southern yarn mills were talking cur tailment because of poor trade.
 Except for realizing, however, loeal brokers reported very little selling, and there were reiterated complaints regarding delayed farm work in eastern belt sections. Ru- mors were circulating that consid- erable cotton is coming here from the south for delivery in March, but March contracts held relatively steady during the entire morning.
