STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-Trading has been somewhat more active. The mar . ket in the main has been firm, but showing some concessions in the last hour of trading. Westinghouse has had quite a sharp reaction on the statement that new stock was to be issued. This is not necessarily bear argument, as the company is doing well. The news from Washington is Islightly better. The voting in the House on tax revision resulted in the defeat of the democratic proposals. This may clear the way to better re- suits tis said that the President may issue a statement more clearly defining his position on the subject. There is nothing of importance in the oil inves- <tigation, excepting that the Senate has passed a resolution demanding the in come tax returns of those involved. Some inquiry as to the S. P. case has led to little selling of Pacific oil on theory that there might be an attempt made to open thel title to It's lands. This seems far fetched.gs The general attitude of the market is satisfactory but cautious. Sales, SS7 S7,SO0.-Post & Flagg to Shannon & Co.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 29.-Bearish sentiment was again in the ascendency and the trade inclined to that side sold heavy in the face of much bullish and constructive news. As a result of this selling, values lost about 50 points on showing made by Liverpool, reports of better goods and spot demand encour- aged buying at the start, and prices worked % points for the old crops in the first hour. The bulge, however. met so much selling that it discouraged buyers, and a good many who bought before yesterdays upturn then began to realize. Small takings for the week, 5000, seemed to stimulate selling, though as a matter of fact the talcings turned out to be larger than expected and larger than last week. Reports were also put in circulation, claiming the dry goods situation in Worth Street has shown little if any improvement. Wires were received in the afternoon from Charlotte, N. C.; saying one chain of mills in that section had just closed sale of 300,000 pieces of goods. Other southern points also reported improved mill demand and inquiry from mills, both north and south, for spots has in creased considerably. Several large print, cloth mills in New England also announced intention to resume opera tions Monday. Carolina mills were also in this market for large quantities of cotton. The average trader, however, paid more attention to reports that Palm Beach was selling again and fol- lowed them regardless of constructive developments. Forecast of good wealth CT in next day or two probably encour- aged some of the selling, but the long distance forecast indicates return of bad weather before blowing can be resumed in the southwest. Sentiment as a whole still leans strongly to the selling side, and large element is inclined to sell on the bulges. We believe, however, that the selling is being overdone and that some of those doing it will l.realize this fact before they cover.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn G Virgin. ,.In..-.-

WOOL MARKET

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 29.-The Com mercial Bulletin will say tomorrow:
 "The market has been quiet on the surface during the past week, but there has been some business for mill ac- counts, involving one or two sizeabIe lots at fully recent prices. In the west, contracting has spread out into several new states, mainly at 40 to 42 cents for both medium and fine clips.
 Openings of women's wear this week by the American Woolen company indi- cate the intention of the company to secure volume production if possible. Prices are about on last years levels and worsted goods are a bit lower.

At The Lyric

Homecoming Week closes at the Lyric tonight, and with it closes the bill of five acts of extra special big time Keith, vaudeville, which has been delighting patrons since Thursday aft ernoon.
 The headliner on this special celebra- tion bill is Patricola, one of the great est single acts in vaudeville. Miss Patricola sings songs in her own in imitable way and also plays the violin in style her own.
 The added attraction is "Mr and Mrs. Anyone" put on by Joe. Wilton, Lew Ross and Company. Their offering is described by critics as hilarious farce.
 The special feature is another laugh producer. w. D. Pollard is the pro- ducer. He calls his collection of jug gling and words Uncommon Non sense." Critics add that it is diverting and pleasing nonsense.
 Rounding out the bill are Jean Blair and Jim Pennington in Furious Fool ishness," and the Mitchells, who present an aerial act, Fun in the Air"

COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-After improv- ing on the opening, our market sold off on liquidation of long cotton, which had been bought on the recent break. In spite of the fact that the market was easier today, there is a decidedly better feeling, as the print cloth mar ket in Fall River showed an increased amount of sales. There was more do- ing in yarns, and number of eastern and southern mills are starting up again. It can be scarcely expected that the market would turn around and ad- vance permanently after such radical decline as has taken place, as there is a considerable amount of cotton which was carried over the recent break that would make it's appearance on any im- provement. We believe, however, that the largest long lines have been liquidated and that any improvement in the spot demand will bring a further sharp recovery.

COFFEE FUTURES

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-The market for coffee futures opened at a decline of Il to 25 points under realizing or liquidation, which was attributed part ly to reports of plus correction in the Rio stock, raising the figures from 0,0o0 bags, reported yesterday, to about 267 900 bags. This addition to the sup plies in sight was hardly sufficient to bring in fresh selling, however, and the market rallied later in the day on re- ports of continued steadiness in the spot and cost and freight markets. May advanced from 13.s5c to 13.92c and September from 13.20c to 13.35c, with the market closing net unchanged to 10 points lower. Sales were estimated at about ? 900 bags.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2s.-4Cotton was lower, despite bullish, mill, dry goods and spot news. The weather week -end statistics were bearish. Prices sold off more than $4 per bale of near positions from the early highs. Octo- about 30 points.
 Liverpool was very good, but sales were small. Texas points wired spot demand was excellent, and New York said there was a much better feeling in the dry goods market.
 Four large Fall River mills were re- ported, scheduled to reopen Monday. The weeks sales at Fall River were es- timated at S0,000 pieces, a small im- provement.
 In the afternoon a North Carolina mill was reported to have sold 100000 pieces of cloths, and the same mill was reported from several good sources to be in the local market for 5000 bales of spot cotton at only a few points under the market.
 But the market continued to fall away. The south was said to be a heavy seller and the Palm Beach was blamed for the decline.
 Spinners were taken as bearish, as expected-16S,00 900 bales against 315, 900 bales last year. Takings for the sea- son are now 1,040,000 less than for the same period last year. The total Amer ican visible is now 2,643,729 against 2,554 ,983,
 The weather was fair, except too cold in the west, but the forecast was for continued fair weather and warmer.
