Extreme dullness and narrow fluctuations featured the cotton market
Saturday, with business confined almost entirely to professionals. old con
tracts were stagnant throughout. There was a complete absence of news
R sdsowes L 0 create activity on either slge of the market. First
; M“s»:% % vrices on the New York exchange were unchanged to 5
" . . ‘&l noints hiher on old and 4to 10 points lower on new.
%‘k After the call Wall street supplied the bullk of buying
{{&}&‘ ‘orders, partly on the vigorous rise in securities, which
(" sesdw W carried Steel common to 100 5-8 on a wave of aggressive
»3 ==" % TWel buying. Old options rallied to a net gain of 2to 20
" § 8 points, with May reaching 24.85. Similar price changes
'w @ marked trading on the New Orleans exchange. |
? The cloging prices in New York were unchanged to
LSES ‘@? b 20 points higher, except March, which finished 35 lower.
so New contracts closed 7 higher to 8 lower.
’j:_ S Atlanta spot cotton advanced 10 points to 28 cents
gafi% a pound, or 105 points higher than a week ago. That
ko B futures are not following the rise in the actual is shown
L by the fact that new May option on the New York
B ; exchange finished the week only 2 points higher »than
last Saturday's close. This should be encouraging to
spot holders in that it demonstrates that the holding movement is begin- |
nifg to bear fruit. Dealers report increased inquiry for the staple, but
offerings continue tightly held. |
One of the most important factors sustaining the market at the moment
is prospects for another period of rainy weather, scheduled to come oni
the western half of the belt. In additiont o this, it generally is belleved
that the peace treaty will be ready for signing in the near future, which
means that export restrictions will be lifted and Central Europe will be{
permitted to enter the market for cotton, which no doubt will be upon a
hgge scale.
The growing bullish situation surrounding the market daily is convert
ing those recently active on the bears’ side to the bulls’ ranks, and the
opinion is becoming general that cotton is shaping to turn the corne rfor
ood.

CIGAR STCRES PLAN STOCK DIVIDEND.,
t The United Cigar Stores Company of America is planning to cut a
“melon.” Directors of the company have issued a eall for a special meeting
of stockholders April 11, when the latter will be asked to authorize an in
crease in the common stock from $30,000,000, now authorized, to $60,-
000,000. The company needs no money and therefore will not sell any
stock, it is said. Any deals which are in prospect will be an exchange of
stock. The company proposes a stoek dividend to shareholders also.

o 4 NEW YORK EXCHANGE TO BE CLOSED TUESDAY. |
The board of governors of the New York Stock Exchange have voted

INTEREST AND DIVIDEND PAYMENTS.
Dividend and interest disbursements this monuth are smaller than the
same period a year ago. Figurés just compiled by The Journal of Com-
Juerce shows that a total of $165,757,645 will be.paid investors in March,
This is a decrease of slightly less than $10,000,000 from March. 1918, when
$175,665,826 were paid out. Stockholders will receive 885,757,645, as com
pared with $99,165,826 last vear—a decrease of $13,4108,181,
¢ Eighty milllon dollars will be paid in interest, or an increase from
$76,500,000 tn March, 1918, The gain i 8 due to new bond and note issues,
a large portion of which has been paid out by railroads,
The decrease in disbursements is due to the general policy of con
servatism during the period of readjustment from a war to peace basis,

NEW YORK, March 22.-—Business at
the opening of the cotton market to
day was quiet and mainly professional.
There was only one transaction in old
style contracts on the call, representing
liquidation. Spot houses and Liverpool
bought, absorbing the contracts offer
ed by commission houses. At ' the
start, old style contracts were 3 points
higher and new style 4 to 10 points
lower. Subsequent buying of new
style contrggts carried the market 2
to 8 points above yesterday’'s close,
partly on the strength of the stock
market and Wall Street buying.
The market ruled dull and. inactive
during the late trading with gru:eu
holding steady around the top, although
the work in sterling exchange caused
some selling. The close was steady,
with old contracts 35 lower to 20 higher
and new 7 higher to 8§ lower,
Suot cotton was quoted, 10 points
higher at 28.50.

' Bastern yarns are reported to be held

The Times-Picayune says: “Friday's
market showed steadiness in the face of
more or less bearish developments, such
as the evidences of dissensions simong the
peace delogations at Parls, threatening to
delay the signing of the peace treaty, less
favorable week-end statisties than hoped
for nmmpondln# labor troubles in Eng-
Iluml. o lurpo ing influence was main
ly evidence of a sgmewhat better demand
for spots, both for export and for home
consumption,
“The lgquidation of old contracts seoms
to be the main obstacle to activity in new
style contracts. Until the old contracts
are out of the way, traders do not look
for any sustained speculative support of
the market. At the same time the sign
ing of & peace treaty would be & strong
bullish influence because of the uwnlnfi
up of Central Hurope to internationa
trade. It is known that the recent tnemy
countries are comrleu-ly bare of raw cot
ton as weil as of cotton goods, hence it
is only rm\rnhln to suppose that every
effort will Bo stralned to secure a suffi
clent supply of raw ecotton Lo start up the
mills which have,been so long Idie oc kept

This statement may be materially affected by any change in the rata
;nr dividends paid by Ocean Steamship Co. of Savannah, of whose tock
'Cemrul of Georgia owns $1,999.100. For instance, while dividend ln:mno
‘was only $454,640 in 1917, the same item was $871,238 in 1916, most of the
differences being attributable to fluctuating income from the steamship
subsidiary,
