BUSINESS DECLINES
IN COTTON, MARKET
Few Price Changes Recorded
During Past Week

NEW YORK, March 21.-There has
not been much change in the cotton
market during the past week. May con
tracts sold up to 2970c Monday as a
result Of buying promoted by firmness
in Liverpool, complaints of delayed
farm work In the south and a. feeling
that optimism over prospects for settie-
ment Of PREPARATIONS was likelyJto be
reflected by export demand. Offerings
increased at the higher prices how
ever, and there were reactions with the
market, becoming quieter and irreg-
uIar later in the week. There was a
decided falling off in the volume Of
business as IL traders recognized the
result and were inclined to wait for q
nearer view of the crop start to deter
mine the trend of end season values.
Continued reports of delayed farm
work in the south probably had ten
dency to check selling, but evidently
failed to inspire much fresh buying,
the opinion appearing to be that with
good weather from now on the delays
so far reported would not be OF great
importance. So
Optimism as to the prospects for a
larger yield, with a favorable planting
and growing season, was promoted by
the publication of additional private re-
ports indicating an intention to In
craasa acreage by something between
8 and 5 per cent. One Of these reports
also pointed to an increase of about
6 per cent in the use of fertilizer. An

NEW YORK, March 21.-The horse
men Of the presidential election year
have been attempting TO ride rough
shod over the business structure of the
country. Specifically, and as ex-
pressed by backing and filling quota
tions on the stock exchange, quite a
dent has been made in the conserva-
tive carry-over prosperity Of the latter
months Of 1923.
But it cannot be too emphatically re-
iterated that the first quarter OF the
year will not be disappointing from
a business viewpoint. Some branches
of industry have made even greater
progress than expected.
This has been true of steel, Of cop

Local traders we're inclined to ques-

NEW YORK. March 21.--It looks as
IL the down swing had about spent its
force and the market has been much
steadier today. The short interest con-
tinues very large, but the bear element
is the only one at all active in the

ternity are content to sit aside and
look on. We. however, think we have
seen certain signs of good buying to-
day. and this is the first of the sort
that we have had in long time. Prices
