SELLING E VEL. ABS0RbEu uuIn,I,uI,o
 ..DAY UPON MARKET
Reports of Raise in Redis-
 es count Rates Is Cause : of SakS
By WALTER B. BROWN Editor, New York Commercial, Spe- ciaI Dispatch to The Age-Herald

e NEW YORK, March 22,-Consider- stock market but it was we'll ab sorbed, and even the marketing up sof call money to per cent late in the day failed to have any decided influence. Some issues closed at frac tional declines. but there were about eas many showing equivalent ad-' Vances.
 The selling movement was caused by an effort on the part of short sellers to take advantage of the call ing of meeting of federal reserve bank governors for next Monday at Washington to spread the report that it was preliminary to general .ad vance in the rediscount rate. This is the usual meeting of governors that takes place every spring and fall. In the natural order of things. the re- discount rate will be discussed and the necessity, present or prospective, for such action will be canvassed. :, Neither BuIling Nor Bearish.
 The meeting can be considered neither as bearsh or bullish ex- pression. Any changes in the redis- count rate will come about when con ditions warrant them. They will be
 
 At present an increasing demand for funds for commercial purposes. Many banks are already loaned up, because they have invested large portions of their surplus in bonds and stocks at the recent prevailing low prices, which was the part of wisdom l. If further demands are made upon them. they will be obliged to redis- count and most of them are in posi- ton to do so. There is naturally considerable nervousness upon the part of the financial community, in cluding both market operators and bankers, as to imitation that might occur in company with the present industrial boom. While it must be admitted that the stage is set no se- rious/ imitation has developed as yet. Business men themselves arc in fear of it, while bankers are inclined to place a restraining hand upon it if it shows signs of getting beyond them.
 Taken altogether. the market gave an excellent account of itself and shows it's ability to withstand pres sure. Technical reactions must be expected, and the bear party will be- come bolder as time goes on, but ;there are still no signs of any real weakness.

OLD CROP MONTHS FIRM AS NEW YORK MARKET DAY ENDS

NEW YORK, March 22.-There. was further liquidation in the cotton market today, but offerings became lighter after decline to 3007c for May deliveries and there were ral- lies in the later trading on covering May sold up to 30.5Sc and closed at 30.54c, with the general market clos ing firm, net 70 points higher to 22 points lower, old crop months being relatively firm.
 The market opened points higher to points lower. There was some buying on relatively firm cables and the unsettled showing of the early weather map. but it was very quick " supplied by continuation of the selling movement which had been in progress yesterday. This was pro- noted by reiterated complaints of a slow spot demand and the market was weak during the carly trading, with March selling off to 30.13c and July to 29.21c. making net declines of 2I to 35 points on old crop months. New crop positions sold A to 20 points net lower in spite of the rather unfavorable weather news, but the volume of offerings tapered off quite materially on the decline, leading to talk of a firmer technical position. This may have promoted some buying for rally as well as
 
 months reached the best prices of the day in the late trading when March sold at 3o.5oc and July at 29.f3c or i5 to 19 points net higher.
 Last prices were crose to the best new year months, but the late de- liveries did not hold as well and closed several points below yester- days final quotations.
 There were d good many private advices from the southern spot mar kets, very few of which indicated improvement in demand, although nearly all of them said offerings were light and unhedged cotton was held for fully the soc level. Liver pool was a seller here during the day, presumably on straddle account. Exports today were 9,096 bales, mak- ing 3,950,57o so far this season. Port receipts were 9,S02 bales.

HUBBARp,S LETTER

NEW YORK. March 22.-tspeciaL)- Tomorrow March contracts so out at 12 noon. When called before the first notice day of March the general opinion was that March contract would sell at substan- tial premium over May. But the slack ening up of the spot demand left March selling at a discount The action of March d barometer of conditions, namely that there was not the demand for spots that everyone believed there would be. The mills were found to be pretty well stockd. There Is nothing in the situation now that Is changed for the better; In fact, the spot situation is conceded to be easier now than a month ago. The action of the mar ket today indicates that there exists q general desire to take profits. In view of the possible textile trouble and better weather over the belt we still look for fur. thcr liquidation, but sharp rallies Will make their appearance on every iaVorap!e Q opportunity Very neavy liquidation made its appearance around ? o'clock, but the market recovered remarkably the last hait hour, and closed above the closing prices of last night.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

BIRMINGHAM. March 22.-The Liver pool market was slightly better than due this morning, futures coming over about points better than expected. but sales were light at 5000 bales and middlingss were down 31 points. Manchester stated business standing Aill with a further reac- tionary feeling among the trade. our markets opened unchanged ot 10 under Wednesdays close and ruled very active both ways during the entire session, prov ing to be an excellent scalping affair." At two different times prices were depressed 40 points each time, to be followed by quick rally of this loss. the ftnals being IS higher on May and lower on october. spots were quoted 25 down to l5 higher, with reports that there was no improve ment in spot demand. Todays market was d nervous, cratic affair with a big volume of professional trading on both sides. The heavy selling came from ap- parently the same quarters as yesterday. New crop months were relatively easier on better weather. There was no particular news. Sentiment among the trade became somewhat confused but the opinion in gen eral is that no sustained advance is likely while demand for the actual cotton is slack. However, a long distance weather forecast indicates a bad spell, and pur- chases of october on such reactions as oc- cured today will prove profitable.-S. +. Stewart X Co.
