COTTON TURNS
IRREGULAR

NEW YORK, March IL TN.S0.
Easing slightly after the initial
call as selling came into the Sc
curity markets, cotton prices
turned irregular but held in an
extremely narrow range with quo
tationS little changed from the
previous close.
The distant months continued
to display a slightly better tone
than the nears, rejecting the
failure of the old crop months to
decline yesterday. Better Liver
pool cables and foreign buying
tended to steady the market.
The continent, Liverpool, the
trade and commission houses
were taking cotton against liqui-
dation from the South and the
Far East.
Contributing to the easier tone
in the near months was the fear
Of q Government pool resumption
OF selling. Such liquidation was
not in evidence in yesterdays
session but was fairly heavy the
day before. The March contract
is at it's high for the current
movement and well over figures
at which the pool has sold re-
Gently. Crop weather indications
continue unfavorable.
Towards noon May was quoted
at 1895 off 1, July 1858 off 2,
october 1923 up /. and Decem-
ber 1929 up point.

STEADIES
AND TRADING
TAPERS
By EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, March 13 ONS).
Curb stocks steadied after the ini-
tial wave Of tail end liquidation
growing out of yesterdays decline.
Although the list continued lower
on the day for the most part the
market displayed a steadier tone.
Trading became somewhat less &C.
tive.
The oils, resisting the liquida-
ton, developed a strong tone and
worked generally higher to feature
the market. Gulf spurted more
than points and in the low priced
shares Venezuela Petroleum
climbed u to az and Red Bank
Oh u to 7, although the latter
issued an unfavorable earnings re-
port. Minor gains were established
in Creole, Louisiana Land and
others.
Losses ranging to almost 2 points
were sustained in the metals, with
Bunker Hill Sullivan one of the
hardest hit. Gold shares lost
ground, with Lake Shore off more
than a point and such lower priced
issues as Yukon Gold and Wright
Hargreaves sustaining fairly severe
losses in proportion to their value.
Sunshine was another soft spot
and initial gains in Hudson Bay
Mining were erased.

EUROPE CRISIS
RULES MART

NEW YORK, March 13 I.N.S),
With the European crisis definitely
displacing domestic trade happen
ings as the prime market factor
at the moment, it is useless to
hazard any guess as to the imme
diate outlook for stocks.
However, the violent shake-out
yesterday has placed the bull fac
tion in a none-tohappy position
While the break was not quite
as severe as last Mondays tumble,
it nevertheless carried many pivo.
tai issues below important support
levels.
Another bearish omen was seen
in the appearance of fairly exten-
sive liquidation from the Cont
nent. Should this signify def.
mite change in policy on the part
Of the European speculator it
would remove a vital source OF
support which more than once
has come to the aid of the bull
faction.
Indications Of the closeness
with which traders scanned the
Continental front was evidenced
by strength in grains, which raj
lied sharply on war scare" buy.
ing. Many astute observers be-
lieve that it may prove a profit
able policy for spectators to
switch from equities to commodi-
ties while the present tension con-
tinueS.
Returning to the market, how.
ever, reports from commission
houses, generally, indicate that
the public as yet has shown no
disposition to get frightened out
Of their holdings.
Inasmuch as the general list in
recent weeks has always shown
readiness to snap back when
apparently in the most dire straits
many Of the smaller traders
looked upon yesterdays decline
as merely affording another buy
ing opportunity.
This, therefore, places an un-
usual burden upon bullish forces
today. For if the market does
not shake off it's present reac-
tionary mood in a hurry, there is
always the danger that the public
appetite for equities may dis
appear completely.
Little wonder that constructive
interests are n1arshalling every
available bit Of ammunition for
what may develop into a "life
and death" struggle for market
mastery.

MARKET QUIET
AFTER INITIAL
DECLINE

NEW YORK, March 13 IN.S).
The stock market turned ex-
tremely quiet today after a moder.
ate recovery from an initial break
running to more than 3 points.
Developments in the tense Euro
pean situation dominated trading.
For a time rallying tendencies
IN some steels and oils, notably
U. s. Steel and Standard Oil Of
New Jersey, pointed the general
list higher, but at noon leading
issues were only slightly above
their early low marks.
The rail section was depressed
by . 38,295 car decrease in load
tngs for the week ended March Z,
reported by the association of
American railroads. Union Pacific
sll1mped nearly two points, while
New York Central and Atchison
were well below their previous
closings.
Chemicals were hard hit, as
losses running from one to more
than two points were suffered in
the four high-priced issues. This
included Air Reduction, Allied
Chemical, Dupont and Union Car
bide.
Chrysler and General Motors
limited losses to small fractions.
Petroleum issues were buoyed
BY the strength in Standard Oil
Of New Jersey, although the lat
ter's early advance of more than
q point was appreciably reduced
as the session progressed.
In coppers and farm equipments
American Smelling fell nearly two
points before meeting support in
the former section, while Deere
dropped more than a point.
Bonds continued toward lower
levels in light trading. United
States Governments and foreigns
were weak.

AUTO OUTLOOK
ENCOURAGING

FLINT, Mich, March 13.-An
encouraging outlook for the auto.
mobile industry for March and the
second quarter of 1885 was de.
scribed by Harlow H. Curtice, pres
ident of the Buick Motor Company,
and w. F. Hufstader, general sales
manager, before members Of the
Buick regional and zone organiza-
ton, assembled here to launch the
spring sales campaign Of the coun-
try. Mr.. Curtice said:
Gust before us is the peak Of
the automobile selling season Of
the entire year. From Bucks
standpoint, we start into it
stronger than ever before. At the
same time the market for the
entire automobile industry Is
greater today than it was when
new models were introduced last
fall.
Billiards and SubzerO weather
over twO-thirdS of the continent
have curtailed motor car sales
somewhat during the past two
months. A summation of general
business during that time, how
ever, shows that the normal up
curve of recovery was sustained.
More money went for coal, more
for food, more for clothing, steel,
new building construction and
homes, even though less went for
automobiles.
"FOr this important reason, I
am optimistic as to the picture
ahead. The country Is spending.
That is the main thing"
