BULLISH REPORT
 OFCENSUS BUREAU FEATURE OF DAY

NEW YORK. March 1.-The fea-
 ture in today's cotton market was the bullish report of the census bu- reau on domestic consumption for February. This started active buy ing in both old and new crop months and all the old crop positions made new high records for the season or S4 points net higher and III
 points above the low of late last week. The advance was checked at this figure by realizing and May sold off to 3l.19 in the later trad ing, closing at 31.23 with the gen. eral market closing barely steady net points lower to 20 points high CT. The market opened firm II to "A points higher on the census fig ures and relatively firm cables
 There was a good deal of realizing at the initial advance but it was absorbed on comparatively moderate reactions and the market firmed up again on a broadening demand which was supposed to include covering by both trade and speculative shorts
 The census figures showed 566,921 bales consumed by domestic mills in February or the heaviest for that month on record, was regarded as emphasizing the prospects for a very small carryover at the end of the season and this, combined with rather unsettled weather conditions in the south, appeared to bring in trade buying or early new crop de- 1iveries as well as old crop months. March sold up to 31.25. July to

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS March H.-A broad demand in the first half of the session in cotton today put the marekt to new high levels for the season on two months, May and July, May trading up to 3l loc a pound and July to 30 CSC, and sent other months up to within few points of pre- vious high marks. In the second half or the session great deal of realizing came on the market and caused moderate reac- tions so that from advances of Az to 62 points the market fell off until 1t closed net unchanged to 13 points higher, clos ing prices being just about the lowest. May traded as low as 30. 74c and closed at that price; October traded as low as 70. 2sc and closed point higher.
 The early demand was stlmuiateu py better cables than due, the census bureau re port of 566,924 bales consumed in tnls country during February. which was larger total than even bullish traders ex- pected, and by the unfavorable barometer lines on the weather map. Highest prices were reported following the issuance or storm warning for the Texas coast as the result of the expected movement eastward of the disturbance centered this morning over the southeastern portion of the Rocky mountains. Considerable buying was done on the forecast of unsettled to showery and rainy weather for the greater portion of the belt because 1t was feared tnat planting and preparations to plant would be still further delayed. Spot accounts were rather mixed, but locally prices were marked up 25 points to the new high rec ord price for the season of S5l pound for middling.

PRICES MOVE UPI AS DAY OPENS INI NEW YORK MART

NEW YORK, March 14.-Aided by large volume of buying orders from the west and south which had been delayed by storms earlier in the week, operators continued to bid up stocks in all sections of the list in today's market. Heavy profit-tak- Ing in some of the popular indus trial issues materially reduced or cancelled the early gains, but failed to halt operations elsewhere.
 Prices started upward from the start despite the marking up of the call money renewal rate to 5i2 per cent. Speculative belief that this nigh rate was temporary and inci- dental to the financing of income tax payments was borne out later when the rate dropped to Az per cent. At the close of the market the local federal reserve bank announced that the government would withdraw S3S. .0G0,000 from member banks in this district in anticipation of March To maturities.
 A months postponement of divi- dend action by the New York Central directors because of the absence of several members of the board sent that stock down to sra but it ral- lied later to 9SA, where 1t was off only IS on the day. Some of the other rails yielded slightly from their early high prices. but St. Paul com mon, New Orleans. Texas and Mexico, and Illinois Central closed s4 to point higher.

American issues closed slightly higher despite speculative disappotnt- ment over the failure of the d1rec- tors to make an extra dividend an nouncement and the sugars reacted slightly when the price of Cuban raws cased off to 55s C pound.
 Time money was quiet but firmer. Brokers bid 514 per cent for all ma turity. but bankers held out for 5i2 for new loans some renewals being made at the lower rate. Commercial paper continues to move in moderate volume with prime names still com manding per cent.
