Cotton opened a shade easier, ow-
ing TO lower Liverpool cables than
cue. First trades showed losses Of
two 10 four points. which was not
a full response to the weakness
abroad. Later, the market eased off
some further owing to the unfavor-
able character Of the political news
from India, and May traded down
TO 1857 and October to 11.08. or
six to eve points below yester-
days close.
All the end or the first hour. the
market was steady and at the lows.
but traders held that prices were
well maintained considering the
character OF the cables.
The market ruled rather quiet all
morning and prices eased off
gradually owing TO easier stocks
and to generally character OF for

port for each year Losses are quite
uniformly heavy. Even at New York

stock market might have been expected
to cause expansion in bank settlements,
there still Is a large decline. For Feb

reduction is practically the same as in

RECENT STOCK BUYING
HAS STRONG CHARACTER
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 2s.-On the
basis OF what the brokers loan figures
show there is every indication that buy
ing of the strongest character has been
factor in the stock market over the
last few months. At any rate, it seems
clearly indicated that marginal buying
has played only a minor part in the
situation. From the low levels of De-
cember Is. last, the market, as meas
ured by the generally accepted averages,
has staged recovery of fully 26 per
cent at the recent peak of the move
ment. In other words, the open-market
value of securities listed on the Stock
Exchange has appreciated to that ex-
tent. Yet the current total of brokers
borrowings as reported by the Federal
Reserve at 81, 798, 900 900 Is actually
1917 per cent less than the aggregate on
December IT, last. Certainly the sur
face indications are that the buying has
been quite formidable In character.

ISTOCKS SELL OFF
| AT SHORT SESSION
Traders Believe Market Has
Outrun Gains in Bust
ness Field.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 28.-Weakness
in the rails and an 1rregularly lower
range of prices for the industrials went
to make up the week end stock market.
The selling came in waves and was in
terrupted by periods of recovery, but
always activity fell off on the rallies
and increased on the reactions.
There was nothing surprising about
the course of the market After, three
weeks of advancing quotations, larger
volume and growing evidences of outside
participation, the so-called corrective
movement was in order. The feeling i'll
Wall Street was that the market had
outrun such signs of business improve
ment as were visible. Except possibly
in the copper field, there had been no
substantial improvement in commodity
prices, and meanwhile railroad earnings
continue to make dismal showing.
Rails Recede.
1t was the rails which made the
poorest resistance to pressure today.
The first so roads to report for January
had 81 per cent decline in net income
and the batch of statements published
today were unfavorable without eXcep-
ton. New York Central broke points
after traders had time to asSlmllate its
earnings result. Losses OF z 10 5 points
we're recorded by Baltimore g. Ohio,
New Haven and Union Pacific. Uncer-
tainty with regard to dividend action in
the case of the Rock Island and the
St. Louis-San Francisco next week
brought selling into those stocks.
And yet the noteworthy thing about
today's session was not the extent of
the losses, but the way in which the
list-the tndustrials, at least-stood up.
The copper shares and utilities snapped
back whenever offerings lightened, the
two leaders in these groups being
Anaconda and Consolidated Gas. The
latter ranged higher on the day, per-
haps because of preparation for the new
financing, but more probably because
there was real and underlying invest
ment demand.
Volatile Issues.
A similar story was told by the vola-
tile issues of the type of Auburn and
Case. They receded easily under pro-
fessional operations for the decline, but
recovered in a disconcerting fashion.
United States Steel, General Electric,
American Can and Standard Oil of
New Jersey were all lower, but most of
the time only fractionally so. In short.
1t looked as though there were buying
orders under the market in all the
leaders.

GOLD STOCKS GAIN

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, February 28.-AI of
the central banks of Europe this week
have increased their gold holdings. This
| is unusual for the bullion account of
the Bank of England has long been
suffering for the benefit Of that of the
| Bank of France. Yesterday both insti-
| tutio11s showed gains.
| The Bank of Germany also reveals
an increase, due to the receipt during
+, the week of $4,000 900 gold from Rus
| STA, which has sent $18 1000 900 of the
! yellow metal to Berlin since the LIST
Of the year. 1t is expected that Ger

Rediscount Rate.
Contrary to rumors, the Bank of
France made no reduction in its redis-
count rate. This stands at 2 per cent,
the same as that of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York and the Bank
of Switzerland 1t is believed in inter-
national banking circles that the mini
mum level of rediscount rates all over
the world has been reached and that
the trend now is more likely to be
upward than downward. although there
are frequent rumors here that the New
its rate below the 2-per-cent level.
In view of the action taken by the
French minister of finance in reducing
the interest rate on French national
defense bonds from per cent to 21a
per cent, it is not unlikely that the
rumors of reduction in the Bank OF
France rate may have been confused
with this incident, which assists in cas-
ing the French money market and in
modifying the spread between French
and English market rates. 1t is also re-
garded here as a preliminary step in
the program for refunding portion Of
the French internal debt, which is to
take place later.
Conferences between the heads of the
central banks of issue in Europe have
been held recently and an important
meeting of the directors of the bank
for international settlements will short
~ occur in Basic when the question of
granting long-term credits to foreign
borrowers, who have been compelled to
negotiate on short-term basis, will be
| fully discussed.

The maple. sugar episode directed
by the Holmes-W Wallace Studios at the
Tableland Festival at Somerset, Pa,
was repeated by them last Friday ev-

Festival at Elkins, w. Va, before an
audience of twenty thousand people.
Little Betty Beachy, of Grantsville,
as "Queen Mapleheart," played her
part exceedingly well and with the
same graceful dignity which won her
such high praise at Somerset, the re-
naming parts in the episode being
taken by thirty children from West
Virginia, selected and intensively
trained by the studio managers on the
afternoon preceding the festival.
Miss Holmes, Miss Wallace, Betty
Beachy and Sister Mary Bevans were
