New York. —Old crop shorts renewed covering in cotton today and May con tracts sold lip to 12.25 or 11 points above last night's closing figures. Realizing checked the advance and caused slight reactions with the close barely steady at a net advance of 3 to 9 points. Orcnei! steady at an advance of four to' ntrP points on higher Liverpool ca ble reporis of more active trade In Manchester and bullish Southern spot advices rumors that spinners might take up cotton out of the local stock may have stimulated demand for near posi tions. There was some scattering liquidation of March which lost two to tbrgb joints, In its recent premium, while the new ciop was relatively quiet and failed fully (o follow the old crop advance al though there were continued reports of unsettled weather. Private cables at tributed firmness In Liverpool to spin ners calling and covering by near month shorts. Reports from Kail Ri\w indi cated increased sales of prim cloths, the business being estimated at 370.0U0 pieces for tlie week against 75,000 last year. II was estimated that mills were operating within 70,000 pierces of their capacity which is the best showing so fer this season. High. Low. Close.

December and January 6.l3Vfc January and February 6.13Vf» WEEK IN*COTTON New York. —The cotton market has been more or loss unsettled during the pant week. The old crop covering movement which began early In the month sent May contracts up to 12.31 on Monday, or practically 14 per bale above the low record established on March 9th. At this level, however, the demand became less urgent and prices since have reacted several points under realising or the opinions of reactionists. March contracts have maintained a premium of about 80 points over May. but at that difference leading spot bouse brokers have supplied the de mand, nnd since the May buying move ment tapered off the premium on that position over July has narrowed from about 3ft to 17 points at the close of business tonight. According to local gossip the straddle short Interest In May contracts now has been materially reduced, and while It is supposed that the comt.lned straddle nnd hedge Interest In May and July Is still a large one, some traders now are predicting that future demand from that source avlli he less active, and more likelv to show Itself on declines than to follow the market up on advances. In the hope of an easier spot situation with the advance of the planting season. Not much news has reached here from Southern snot markets during the week, but there have been sales of retentions from the local stock, and private wires hive reported a good demand, particu larly for low grades while local opera tors who watch the trading closely cta'm to have seen no Indication of sales here against supplies remaining in the Interior. Recent cshles h-om Idvernool report an Imm-oved bus ness In Manchester nnd whde there has been more ta'k of short time In domestic mill circles the more seasonable weather of the past two or three da vs i« *-.|d to have stimu lated ilg demand for goods.

New Orleans. —Continued rains over tlie South and no prospects of chanp-3 for Sunday, reports of a large Knglisd mill business ami an increased inquiry for Liverpool spots, today gave cotton a firm undertone on the week-end ses sion, and it rinsed unchanged t«* a net advance of seven points In the face of considerable profit-taking on the traders who went long on depressions of Ihe earlier part of the week. Opening at the advance, the market soon went five to ten points over yes terday’s close. Tills was the high of tlie day except on March, which while not active, twice went 15 points over yesterday’s last quotation. While much of the buying was for the account of shorts who wanted to cover over Sun day, commission houses did some busi ness on the long side for outsiders. High. Low. Close.

However, Caused Late Rally Saturday in Wall Street. New York. Decline In Stocks which had proceeded steadily though slowly, Klnce the first ot the week, bringing no Increase of buying ns uuotnllons re ceded, encouraged heavier speculative selling today. Long traders disheart ened by constant Injection of new bear ish factors and by lack of outside sup port, wore In no mood to resist raiding efforts. For a time selling was carried on with a fair degree of activity. Shorts aimed chiefly at the steel groups. Unit ed States Steel gave way easily and In dependents sagged with it. larsses In general lumevry were not severe. Week end covering caused a late raltv. Railroad statements submitted today were unfavorable, Canadian Pacific re ported a decrease of more than 21,000,- 000 in February net earnings. Frie s operating income wan reduced from 1970,000 in February. 1913 to 8216.000 last month. New York Central report ed a policy of retrenchment as rigid as Pennsylvania's. Time money rates were easier today on recent Inflow of money and slack de mand. That was interpreted ns an In dication of unsatisfactory business con ditions. The week's bank statement, however, failed to allow the expected further.gain in cash. Bonds easy. Total sales 3*00,000. U. S. bonds unchanged on call on the week. NEW YORK STOCK LIST Closing Rltl.
