FLOOD OF MONEY
MARKET FEATURE
Bonds Soar AS Result OF Cheap
Rates

NEW YORK, March 22.-Wall
Streets flood of surplus money, which
carried the official rate for call loans
on the New York Stock Exchange to
IN per cent, the lowest with one un-
important exception, since the spring of
1918, oyershadowed all other develop
ments In this weeks financial markets.
Easing Of call money also extended to
time funds and commercial paper.
inability Of bankers to obtain EN-
pioyment for their excess cash In stock
market or commercial channels result
ed in flood Of money being poured
into the bond market, particularly in
high-srade short term securities This
resulted In all the Liberty bonds soar
ing to new high prices for the year,
while the treasury 41<s touched new
high for all time. Industrial and rail-
road bonds also improved.
Stock prices were decidedly reaction
airy under the weight Of professional
short selling. This was particularly
effective in the motor, rubber and steel
shares, which were liquidated as 4 re-
suit OF unfavorahle trade reports.
The further recovery OF French
francs to a new high above SIS cents
was the feature of the foreign exchange
market.

WEAKNESS SHOWN
IN,CURB SECURITIES
Feverish Uncertainty Prevails In
Many Groups

NEW YORK, March PA degree OF
feverish uncertainty prevailed In many
groups Of curb securities the past week.
A number of them were without
nearby market and sustained substan-
tiai losses, especially in the first four
most fpaptouncsd- In the, industrial
group, where liquidation was in evil
dence. pprant Motors was one of the
chief features In this respect, falling
from 241s to, 1871. Jordan Motors
dropped appoints to- 26ss and Ford
Motors of Canada yielded Q points to
469. Dubilier, one OF the strongest fea-
movement halted, and when some large
offerings appeared, dropped z points
to 25tsuridy X
There ware some exceptions, how
ever, todsthe displays of weakness,
among them being Hudson and Man
haitian common, which rose from 10h
to 12h. and the preferred stock moved
wanna and Western Coal rose over
point to 90 Public Utilities were among
the strong spot, American Light and
TractionslaadvAnc over points to
1856 and Commonwealth Power rose
points to- a..
The Petroleum stocks were alter
nately strong and weak because trad
ing was governed by conflicting in
fnences.d a The progress Of congress
Sional Investigation was an obstruc-
ton toA hvllish activities.
Standard Oil of Nebraska, after a
sharp advance, yielded from 243 to 236
Prairie OIL declined some 10 points, but
rallied, with the general list today.
A feature of the Independent group
was the weakness in Gulf States Oil
which absorbed the properties of the
old Metropolitan company, which was
succeeded by Island Oil.

COTTON Is QUIET;
Tone is STEADY.
Early Declines Followed
By Rallies, But Close Is
Slightly Lower

NEW YORK, March 22.--The cotton
market was quiet again today, but
showed fairly steady undertone
early declines being followed by raj
lies. May contracts sold off to 2s.72c,
but recovered to, 2s.s5c. closing at
2s.s0c with, the general market closing
steady at a net decline Of 2 TO II points.
The early selling was influenced by
reports of q falling Off in spot demand
at Liverpool and the failure Of week
end reviews, to show any Improvement
in the. domestic goods markets. First
prices were 6 to Is points lower and
active months sold 10 to q points net
lower during the early trading, with
October easing off to 25.60c. The mar
ltet then steadied on covering, which
became a little more active after the
publication of the official forecasts
pointing TO continued bad weather in
the south over Sunday. and October
rallied TO 25.74c. Other positions re-
covered almost all the early losses and
the close was within a few points OF
the best.
Humors Of pending curtailment In the
automobile industry may have been a
factor in the early decline, but were not
confirmed. Cotton on shipboard await
ing clearance was estimated at 1900
bales, against 1000 last year.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW. ORLEANs COTTON

y
NEW ORLEANS, March 22.-The
final session Of the week in the cotton
market was very tame affair, with
small trading and very narrow fluctua-
tions, the extreme spread on May be-
ing only II points. From the highs
May and 28.1Sc for July, prices grad
ually eased off TO 2S.S3c for May and
2S.o2c for July, or 16 to, IL points down
from the high and Is to IA down from
the previous close. October traded up
to 25.1Sc at the start and reacted to
25.10c, or II points under the previous
close, but made a new high at 25a9c
near the end, while other active months
recovered, but did not quite reach the
early high points. The close was off a
little from the highest reached on the
late rally, showing net losses for the
day of 2 to 4 points ON old crop months
and to 5 on the new. 5
Z AT the start Liverpool was q little
better than due and the weather map
was unfavorable with three areas Of
pronounced low barometer to the west
Of the belt. These influences were re-
sponsible for the slight advance after
an irregular opening, which made .the
highs for the short session on all
months but October. which made new
high in the late trading.
Soon after the opening prices eased
Oft gradually on unfavorable general
trade report advices OF increasing cur
tailment among southern mills and to
the effect that the automobile COM
panies at Detroit, which consume a
great deal Of cotton. was curtailing pro-
duction by running but four days a
week. This did not apply to the, Ford
factories. The decline did not extend
very far. however, as the market was
supported by the bad weather, a storm
warning for the Louisiana coast affect
ing small craft, and the expectation
that the report of the experts examin-
ing the government statistics due Mon
day will prove very bullish.
The market as a whole was about the
narrowest experienced this season, both
in the way of slack trading and fluc-
tuations. Final prices showed a net
| loss for the day. ~
