FRENCH FRANCS HIT
 RECORD LOW LEVEL
Other Exchanges, With Excep-
 ton Of British, Lower

NEW YORK, March e.-The French franc today plunged to a new record low level, at 3.95c. At the same time, the discount on French francs was in- creased to- 10 points month below the spot price for the next three months.
 The unprecedented increase of aI- most billion francs in French note circulation to new high total of 4O,265.- 900,000 francs brought a flood of sell ing orders from foreign capitals, which precipitated the decline.
 Added to the uneasiness. over the country's problem of balancing it's bud get and handling its floating debt, the uncertainty regarding the Bank of France statement, which showed no increase inadvances, was held respon- sible for most of the speculative selling from Paris. ~
 The ultimatum of Premier Poincare that he would place the. resignation of his cabinet before President Miilerand unless his fiscal reforms were approved also tended to shatter confidence.
 While Belgian francs were sympa- thetically weak in today's market, de- mand sterling held firm and Spanish pesetas steadied after touching the low est figure in sevexal years yesterday Japanese yen continued to, fall, reach. ing new low for the year at 44.3Oc.

PRIMER TONE IN
 COTTON MARKET
Improvement Due To Better De mand For Export And Steady
 Liverpool Cables

NEW YORK, March 6.-The cotton market showed a firmer tone today on reports of a better demand for export in the south and the relatively steady showing of the Liverpool cables. May contracts sold up to 29.23c in the late trading, or S2 points net higher, and 16S points above the low level of last Monday. This price attracted furry of realizing just before the close, and may reacted to 2s.s9c, with the general market closing easy, but 62 to 64 points net higher.
 The opening was firm at an advance of Il to 34 points on the better showing of Liverpool and expectations that the Lancashire labor disputes would be set tied at todays conference in Manches- ter. There was considerable realizing by recent buyers in the forenoon. but 1t was absorbed on comparatively mod crate setbacks. Prices turned upward early in the afternoon on reports that exporters were buying in the Memphis market for shipment to both Germany and Russia.
 Buying of new crop months here for continental account was absorbed on the advance, which extended to 2s-s4c for March and 26.00c for October con- tracts, or about 60 to S2 points above yesterdays closing figures on the more active positions. There was realizing at these figures and offerings became little heavier following reports that the Manchester conference had been ad- journed until Monday. The highest prices of the day were reached in the late trading when the market appeared to be influenced by reports of optimism over reparations prospects in London and firmness in the stock. market. A authority estimates pres ent indications as pointing to an acre. age increase of 3.4 per cent. Port re- ceipts today, s,626. United States port stocks, 750,s77; exports, 5,0s4, making 1, ,405, ,335 so far this season.

LRON TRAnE REvTEw

| CLEVELAND Ohio, March 6.-(Spe- ciaD Iron Trade Review today says: With some conspicuous points of .ex- ception, the steel market is quieter Buying for forward delivery is under check and commitments are being made to, represent exact needs, so far as they may be determined. Discounting oi the future, with the attendant possi- biltties of speculation, Is at a mini mum. Since current consumption to all indications is running at a high gait the conservative spirit of buyers IS. regarded as a favorable precedent to prolongation of healthy conditions though the mills are not able to ac- cumulate the baeklogs of tonnage they would like, The market reflects more questioning of possible business effects to result from disturbed political con- ditions at Washington; and, while this has had no bearing on underlying fac tors, 1t u1antfestly is contributing to cautious sentiment.
 Pig iron production in February for the first time since October rose above the 100, ,0oo-ton-daily mark, and despite the shorter month showed a gross gain of more than, 5o,000 tons over January. The average daily production in Feb Fuary was f05,6T3 tons, and the total S,064 ,536 tons, compared with S7,273 and 8,015,4S0 tons, respectively, in January. Furnaces blowing at the end of Feb Fudry numpSreu zo1, a. gam or l4 over January. Operations. stin are climb ing.
 Although 1923 iron ore prices have not been reaffirmed by producers, it is understood unchanged quotations have been made on the inquiry for 250.- 900 tons for the Ford Motor company. Since expected sales are estimated at 6s000.o tons this year.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, March 6.-The cot ton market experienced a session today of almost continual advances and prac- tically all the news was of a stimu- lating character. After opening IS to A points above the previous close, the market continued on the upgrade all morning. and until well in the after noon, May reaching finally 29.25c and July 2S.3Sc, or 30 to S7 points net high CT. Prices eased off some in the late trading on profit taking, but the close showed gains for the day of 71 to 77 points on October.
 At the start, Liverpool was better than due and the local market, though opening higher, did not make as full response to Liverpools advance as it should. Prices promptly commenced to climb, however, and the advance was practically continuous throughout the morning and the high points were not reached until well after noon.
 The early stimulating influences, in addition to the higher cables, included map showings of more or less rain in nearly all parts of the belt. with cold weather in the northwest. reports of a good spot demand in southern markets
 nd moro cheerful need for Fall River and from the northern dry goods mar kets. Nt
 Later in the morning the advancing tendency was further helped by a re- port by a well-knoMn southern author ity with a local branch that the acre age increase would be only 3.4 per cent, and that crop preparations were fully 20 days behind. It was also reported that the southern cooperative associa- tions were holding for higher prices and large spot interests were buying contracts freely in eAe local market.
 The moderate reaction in, the after noon of about 25 points, some of which was recovered before the close, was attributed to profit taking, and to the advancement of the lockout conference until Monday next at Manchester with. out action. The market showed a very good undertone all day.

LOCO WEED MENACE.

Tucson.-Unless something is
done to exterminate the loco
weed that is growing in great
volume in the cattle districts of
St. Johns and Springerville, the
cattlemen of those sections say
they will have to give up live
stock breeding or move, accord.
ing to A. A. Nichol, assistant to
the entomologist at the univer.
sity, who has returned after in.
vestigating conditions there.
Some of the cattlemen in those
sections estimate the loss to their
calf crops at so per cent. due to
the presence of loco weed, and
their loss in adult animals at
from 6 to 30 per cent, according
to the prevalence of the weed on
the various ranches.
Mr.. Nichol made a thorough
survey of the infested districts
and said that on many hillsides
the dangerous plant fourishes
almost to the complete extermin.
alton of other vegetation.
