CLOSE IS FIRM
Ilf I. UOTTOI
Very Steady End With Net Ad
vance of 1 to 10 Points Sat
urday. Early Irregularity.
New York.—The cotton market show
ed continued firmness during today's
trading. There was naturally more or
less realizing foV over the week-end, but
after some early irregularity, prices
firmed up and the close was very steady
at a net advance of one to ten points.
Liverpool was slightly disappointing
and first prices here were generally a
point or two under yesterday's closing
figures. Offerings however, were read
ily taken around the opening level owing
to a continued demand from foreign and
local shorts In the summer months.
Houses with Wall street and Western
connections were again buyers of new
crop 'deliveries but the near positions
led the advance, selling about seven to
ten points above Friday's finals. New
irop positions worked two or three
points net higher and the list closed
within a point or two of the best.
May contracts sold at 12.08 or r. 5
points above the lower level of last May.
Generally clear weather was reported
in the South this morning but conditions
recently have been unsettled and the
possibility of a late start with the new
crop, combined with continued reports
of unsatisfactory seed In some sections
of the belt are considered responsible
for investment buying of the new cja.p
months. The stronger ruling of "Id
crop deliveries is also supposed to have
encouraged a more bullish view of early
new crop positions around the prevail
ing discounts. Decal spot people point
tut that while there is still time to
h-ing cotton from the Eastern belt for
delivery on March contracts, very ittle
cotton hns been received here from that
source so far this season.

WEEK ]N COTTON
New York.—The cotton market has
had a sharp advance during the past
wpek. with May contracts selling bark
to the 12-cent level and some ',O points
nbove the low records of Monday.
Reports of a better spot demand and
apprehensions of a later start than ex
pected with the new crop owing to un
settled weather conditions during the
past month have probably accounted for
some of the buying, but the ad\.. a t- has
been most generally attributed to a
scare of old crop shorts growing out of
the failure of the March premium to at
tract shipments of cotton here from the
South,
It has been a matter of gossip in the
local market for some time past that a
very large number of May and July con
tracts had been sold here against pur
chases in Liverpool. In the expectation
that an accumulation of low grades In
the local stock wxmld cause still wider
differences. So far however, there have
been comparatively few shipments of
cotton here for March delivery and
from these shipments there have been
heavv rejections, particularly of cotton
from the Southwest. The situation In
this respect is supposed to have led to
some modification in the views of strad
dlers and at the end of the week. May
contracts here were selling 120 points
under Mny-June In the English market
as compared wtth HO points last Mon
day A private report was published
early In the week indicating an Inten
tion on the part of Southern planters to
Increase the acreage tinder cotton nearly
three per < ent but the figures attract
ed comparatively little attention. Re
ports from Alexandria forecast an In
creased area under Egyptian cotton this
season, and the continued full movement
of the East Indian crop has been ac
companied by increased estimates of
the yield. Sp nners takings of Ameri
can cn'ton have remaned full, howewver.
whle predictions that the large percent
age of poor cotton In this year's grotwh
would leave an Inadequate supply of the
more sp nnahle and tenderablo grades,
have '.«een one of the features on the
weeks advance.

Prices Saturday Went to New
High Levels For Week. Net
Gain For Day.
New Orleans.—The cotton market was
governed to a great extent today by
favorable spot market developments.
The spot demand was go<*d, although
quiet.
Nervousness was displayed by shorts
and a disposition to cover over the week
end was increased by the general belief
in a bullish census bureau report on
consumption Tuesday. Prices went to
new high levels for the week, standing
3 to 7 points oveY Friday’s last figures
at their highest, and closed at a net
gain for the day of sixpoints to a net
loss of one point.
Continued low temperatures were re
garded as being highly unfavorable.

WEEK IN FINANCE
New York.—lrregular movements In
the securities market this week gave a
fair reflection of the uncertain state of
speculative sentiment. Opinion as to
the outlook was confused and operations
in the stock market were limited chiefly
to the day-to-day dealings of profes
sional trailers. The Mexican situation,
the freight rates question, the proposed
anti-trust legislation at Washington and
conflicting reports as to the business
outlook all served to restrict specula
tion operations pending settlement of
these problems.
The week's trade news gave little In
dication of what was to be expected in
the way of a general business revival,
such as was predicted confidently at the
beginning of the year. February statis
tical returns from the steel and copper
Industries were unexpectedly good. Re
ports from the steel trade for the first
half of March, however, Indicated that
new business was not lnrge. Railroad
earnings continued to fall off.
The money market was little changed,
although time loans showed a firmer
tendency.

WEEKINTRADE
New York.—Bradstreet's today says:
“Trade still Is on the quiet side. For
this the winter's varying weather condi
tions, conservatism, born of recent
years’ hand to-mouth buying, the late
Krister season, and uncertainty as to fu
ture business legislation, all are held
varyingly responsible. The predominant
feeiing Is that the opening of spring will
act as a stimulus to trad" and industry*.
“Weather conditions or the effects of
recent meterological events still hulk
large In the undeniably slow opening up
of business.
“There is a percetible gain in a va
riety of lines of industry, which is tak
ing up some surplus of labor. It is like
wise becoming evident that some of the
talk of unemployment outside of sea
sonal lines was exaggerated.
“For the week: Hank clearings. $3.-
241,215.000, a decrease of 1.4 per cent,
from last year; failures. 271 against 289
last year; wheat exports 3 764,208 bush

STOCKS HOSE
ON SATURDAY
Late Re action, However, Cut
Down Portion of the Advance
in Wall Street.
New York.—The rim* in stork* wan re
sumed today. Moat of tho important
Issues made fair gains. t»ut a reaction in
final dealing* cut Into the advanced.
The late reaction was influenced hy
the decision of the federal courts order
ing dissolution of the bituminous coal
combine. Chesapeake and Ohio, winch
waa strong in the early trading, lent ltd
advance and gradually the other coal
era. Including the anthracite group, gave
way. The industrials were little af
fected.
It wae the opinion of trader* that the
outstanding short Interest was unusualh
large, and it wad assumed that cnvoHng
wan the principal factor in forcing up
quotations yesterday and today.
The hank statement made a better
showing than on any recent week.
Dullness in the securities market and
the lessened volume of new financing
were reflected in a contraction in loans
and the cash gain of nearly $7,000,0ut
was twice the amount predicted.
Trading In bonds was quiet with
smaller variations among speculative is
sued, which have been weak recently.
