BONDS DEVELOP
 MORE STRENGTH
Improvement Due To Outlook For Tax Compromise Provid-
 ing For Reductions e..

NEW YORK, Feb. 2s.-The improved outlook for a compromise on tax 1esis- lation, providing for a substantial re- duction in the surtax rate, with pros poets that the cut in personal income taxes would apply this year, materially strengthened the bond market today. Prices generally moved higher. with ac- tivity centered largely in the specuia- tive railroad issues. Constructive news from abroad also imparted firmer trend to the foreign list.
 Profit taking, however, developed in some sections of the list, wiping out a part of the recent gains scored by Norfolk and Western convertible 6s, which declined about points, and Chi cago and Alton BIAS, which yielded a point. Bonds of the northwestern roads also were heavy. as stocks were de- pressed on unfavorable earnings re- ports. St. Paul, Northern Pacific and Great Northern issues all lost ground.
 Speculative uneasiness over Virginia Carolina company was reflected in a further weakening of the bonds, al though they rallied several points in the early trading. Switching" opera tions were in evidence among the cop per bonds, accounting for the continued heaviness of the high cost producing group and strength of low cost pro- ducers, like Magmama, whose per cent bonds gained more than 6 point.
 Total bond sales (par value), $1o,- 057 900.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 29.EI-The cot ber of favorable developments and turned reactionary under renewed sell ing pressure. In the early trading, prices worked upward to 30.41c for March and 2s.9sc for July, showing a net gain over the previous close of IS to 27 points. The market then turned easy on rather liberal realizing and fresh selling, and despite several in- cipient rallies the downward trend per sisted to the end, March dropping to 2949c, May to 39c and July to 28.10c, a recession of SS to 95 points from the high of the morning. The close was at the lowest, showing net losses of 28 to 72 points.
 The start was promising, as Liverpool came in rather better than due, and there was a general feeling that the worst had been witnessed and that there would be a growing disposition to buy at the existing levels. Under this impression, the market showed moderate net gains in the early trad ing. The better tone was helped by reports of continued buying of spots by the Japanese and a good inquiry for the actual in southwestern markets.
 Considerable selling developed later in the morning on expectation of bear ish mill taking, despite the fact that reports from the dry goods market wera rather better. bearish con- struction was placed on the rumored forecast of 1O,120, ,00O for the final gin nings by a well-known private bureau. When mill takings of 16S,000 bales for the past week were made public, the selling increased, although the actual total was somewhat larger than ex- pectations, as we'll as larger than the preceding week.
 A report from Charlotte, N. C., to the effect that a chain of mills had sold 300,000 pieces of cloths had no practical effect on the market, although it was ascertained that the same mills were seeking to buy 5000 bales of spots in the local market. The report that Fall River sales of print cloths for the week totaled S0,000 bales had no stimulating effect The market finally closed at practically the lowest levels of the day.

ANOTHER BREAK
 IN COTTON PRICE
Severe Crash Follows Advance 71 Of 20 Points At Open
 ing Of Market

NEW YORK, Feb. 2s.-A further advance of about 20 points at the open in gof the cotton market this morning was checked by realizing, and prices broke very severely during the after noon under a renewal of liquidation or more or less general selling. Stop orders were uncovered on the decline, which carried the price of May con- tracts off from 30.22c to 29.0Sc, or 114 points from the high level of the morn ing and 92 points below Thursdays closing quotation. May closed at 29.16c, with the general market closing steady at net declines of 75 to 90 points on the old crop and of 23 to 35 points on new crop positions.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of g to IT points on overnight buying orders and in response to rela- lively steady Liverpool cables. Active months sold about 15 to p points net higher during the early trading, with March advancing to 29.S3c and July to 2s.41c, while May at 30.2cc showed a recovery of 170 points frcrpthe low level of last Tuesday. These>prices seemed high enough to attract realizing by re- cent buyers for rally, and when the market turned easier under such selling there was liquidation by early buyers, who were evidently disappointed over the failure of the cables and the the reports of an increased demand for cotton goods to create more support. Offerings became heavier as prices eased without uncoyering great deal Of demand, and the selling became general. during. the afternoon, when houses with New Orleans connections were active sellers in the market here. March sol dat 2S.45c, making declines of 100 to IA points from the best on old-crop months, and October sold off to 25.S2, or fl points from the high level of the morning and 26 points net lower The close was only a few points up from the lowest on covering. Sales of print cloths in the Fall River mar ket for the week were estimated at between 10000 and 8o,o00 pieces, and it was reported that three or four of the mNls were resuming operations.

Conflicting Movement In Stand ard Oils Imparts Irregular
 Aspect To Market

NEW YORK, Feb. 2s.-conflfctins movements in the leading Standard Oii issues gave an irregular aspect to to- days curb market, although the gen eral price trend was higher.
 Borne and scrimser, on small turn over, advanced 14 points, closing, at 2o4. Profit taking accounted for point loss in Chesebrough Manufacture ing, which jumped 5 points to 4oo, Standard Oil of Kentucky and Solar Refining lost points. but there was quite an accumulation of Vacuum oil, which sent the stock up ? points before reacting at the close.

TRADING SLOWS
 LATE IN SESSION
Southern Railway Touches New
 High, While N. & w. Ad- vances Sharply

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-After an early show of strength and activity in practically all sections of the list, prices turned reactionary in today's stock market, and there was a perceptible les sening in the volume of trading in the afternoon.
 SsOvernight buying orders gave the market an upward slant at the outset and influenced numerous professional bears to cover, but the activity sub- sided toward noon, and considerable short selling appeared, particularly in the northwestern railroad issues. Re. newal of reports of a favorable nature regarding Norfolk and Western, pushed fhat stock up sharply, but it reacted on profit taking and closed well below the previous days final price. Southern Railway advanced to a new high record price at 50M and strength was dis played by Chesapeake and Ohio, New York Central and other di- idend pay ing roads.
 Northern Pacific. Great Northern "Soo." Chicago and Northwestern and the St. Paul issues continued under pressure due to their poor January earning statements. The relatively poor showing of fourth quarter earn ings of Studebaker depressed that stock nearly two points and Westinghouse Electric fell about points on uncon- firIned reports that some new financ- ing was contemplated. The directors of the latter company meet next Wednes- day.
 Traders continued to sell the Virginia Carolina Chemical issues, the preferred slumping more than points.
 Some of the specialties, such as mer- chandising shares, met with favor and ended the day with fair gains. A few of the independent steels also moved forward on the day, coppers and su- Ears, generally, continued irregularly downward.
 Foreign exchange rates were irreg- ular, with relatively narrow range. Demand sterling recorded a slight gain at $4.30h, but French francs reacted after yesterdays smart advance, losing points at 4.1915c. Belgian francs climbed to 3.65hc, and most other con- ttnental exchanges were steady. The Spanish peseta, moving counter to the general trend, fell 8 points to 12.57c for a new low for the year. Japanese ex- change also moved lower, closing at 4475c. Call money opened at Az per cent and was advanced around noon to per cent, reflecting the usual month end requirements. Time money coritin- ued quiet. with quotations unchanged at A and per cent.

Wool markets held fairly firm in deal CTS hands, but mills were disinclined to pay askingvprices. Linens were quiet. Jobbers did little more buying, es- pecially in some of the cotton goods

BRADsTREET's REVIEW


 NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-Bradstreet' s tomorrow will say:
 Something like a backwater appear snce is presented this week. Dis tributive trade in primary lines this week Is rather quieter, while jobbing trade Is a shade larger than last week at some cities. Industry ranges from fair to good, while collections, on the other hand, vary from fair to slow. Neither trade nor industry appears equal to a year ago at this time, when the near-boom of the late winter and early spring of 1923 was gathering force. Reasons for this are variously stated; but political. seasonal, and. to a certain extent, speculative conditions are all mentioned as operative. The week has seen some irregularity in financial markets, this partially reflect ing disturbed political sentiment. un- certain reports as to possible tax legis- lation and sharp downward movements in several staples, notably cotton and copper.
