STOCKS

NEW YORK, March 26.-The market has shown moderately better tone to- day, but the rallies have been of only short duration and the dominant bear party has seen to it that they did not get too much headway. Prices are mixed andTthe average is probably not very far from last nights close. The short interest was very largely in- creased yesterday and 1t has surely not been diminished any today, but the news that comes to hand is negative and we are waiting; for some incentive or the other. It would seem to have goneslow enough, but there is nothing at hand to improve sentiment. z Any really favorable news would make a sharp rally and probably a permanent turn for the better.

 NEW YORK, March 26.-Continued pressure against American Can pre- vented any rallies of importance in the balance of the list, although some stocks resisted selling better than oth- CTS. Stakeholder and U. s. Steel, while not particularly strong, seemed :toa be in better demand on recessionss and Studebaker even registered gain for the day. Baldwin was for sale in rallies, losing about a point.- Mack Truck. which has been one of the strongest stocks on the list, fell off about two points. Proposed .fncfease in capital stock probably had sonie ef- feet. Pullman, General Electric and other high priced issues were sought out and sold by bearish operators, al- though undoubtedly there has been considerable real liquidation going on by those who are becoming ,alarmed over the gradual slowing up in busi- ness and the fading hope of anything constructive coming from Washington. The omission of the extra dividend by American Can yesterday proved to be the greatest shock to confidence in the stock since U. s. Steel starled the upward move last fall with iis extra dividends. Favorable earnings reports are coming in, both from rasis and other groups but sentiment is gem crafty bearish. Some stocks appear to be oversoid and a technical rally is about due. Oils seems to. be the fav- orites with those who are willing to buy. Toward the close another. drive against U.. s. Steel carried prices down to the lows of the day.

 NEW ORLEANS, La, March 26.- Cotton had periods of weakness and strength today and ended a dollar to a dollar and half a bale lower. The sell ing, however, was soon checked by a very unfavorable review of preparation from the weather bureau, reassuring cables from Paris and rise in francs. The advance in French exchange was soon accepted as evidence that the resignation of Poincare was construed favorably owing to probability that 1t will lead to an early settlement of rep arations. The weekly review points out that planting has not yet begun in Georgia, though it is generally we'll underway in the southern part of that state at this time of the year. It also states that preparation Is two to three weeks behind in the. east and also backward in the west owing to wet soil. Considerable selling developed in the afternoon on cables saying the English shipbuilders had voted to lock out the employees. Sentiment is so strongly .bearish that rallies are proving hard to sustain: The selling movement has not run it's course as yet.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
