NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK. March 8—(A*)—Cot
ton futures closed 15 to 25 cents a
bale higher today on buying attri
buted to trade expectation that
legislation calling for higher farm
prices would be passed by con
gress.
Aggressive price-fixing, commis
sion house buying and demand from
Southern interests easily absorbed
early liquidation following the an
nounced 10 per cent increase in
cotton acreage plantings.

Leading Stocks Recede
Into Losing Territory
NEW YORK, March 8._(#)_
Leading stocks generally backed
into losing territory today but as
sorted low-priced specialties kept
the market pot boiling with frac
tional advances to new highs for
a year or longer.
Trends were ragged from the
start and. aside from big blocks
of “penny” issues, dealings slow
ed appreciably after the opening.
Turnover, however, exceeded the
million-share mark for the tenth
consecutive full session. Declines
running to a point or so were in
the majority at the close.
Cashing of further profits on
the 10-months’ rise impeded prog
ress in most cases. Notwithstand
ing persistence of good war news,
inflation psychology and invest
ment demand, bullish forces, on
the whole, inclined to stand aside
pending mpre assurance a sizeable
correction was not in the offing.
Buying of stocks selling under $10
a share was again attributed to
expanding public participation.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks was off .1 of a point at
46.4, which was only $1 under the
peak since early November, 1940.
Transfers totalled 1,245,750 shares
compared with 1.208,870 last Fri
day.
Stocks touching best levels for
1942-43 included Studebaker,* Su
perior Oil, Hayes Mfg., Celanese
(which apparently reflected a
pleasing earnings statement),
Thermoid, Sperry and Curtiss
Wright.
Aircrafts got a play in the fore
noon but most failed to follow
through and Boeing, Douglas.
Glenn Martin and United finished
behind minus signs.
In the declining area were U S
Steel, Bethlehem, Chrysler, Amer
ican Telephone, Western Union
Santa Fe, N. Y. Central, Southern
Pacific, Anaconda, American Can,
General Electric, U. S. Rubber.
Philip Morris and Standard Oil
(N.J.)
Among gainers in a slim curb
were American Gas, Gulf Oil,
Lake Shore and Sherwin Williams.
In arrears were electric Bond &
Share, Creole Petroleum, Humble
Oil and Phoenix Securities. The
aggregate here was 315,685 shares
versus 290,695 in the previous full
session.

LOCAL MAN GIVEN
SEA SERVICE BAR
Joseph Russ Is Awarded
Merchant Marine Em
blem For Activity
Joseph Russ, of Wilmington, one
of the 800 Ensigns recently grad
uated from the U. S. Maritime
Service Officers school at Fort
Trumbull, New London, Conn, was
the recipient of one of the new
U. S. Merchant Marine service
bars awarded to 129 of the grad
uates. *
The honor bar, authorized by
Captain Frank Rusk of the War
Shipping Administration and sim
ilar to those worn by members of
the armed forces, was designed
to gain recognition for men of
the U. S. Merchant Marine who
have been torpedoed, bombed,
shelled or have otherwise faced
enemy action in war zones.
That the men graduated at New
London have had sea experience
is well illustrated by the fact that
over 90 of the War Service bars
presented had one or more silver
stars denoting that the wearer has
been through enemy action in
which his ship was sunk. A star
is added for each engagement.
It is estimated that more than
10,000 U. S. Merchant seamen are
now entitled to wear the new rib
bon, which is authorized when
written request is made, to the
War Shipping Administration and
the applicant’s credentials are
checked.
The Officers school at Fort
Trumbull, New London, Conn, is
part of the War Shipping admin
istration’s training system which
enables mferchant seamen , with 14
months’ experience at sea to study
for an officer’s license. To encour
age men from the ranks to become
both deck and engineer officers,
a four month course is offered at
New London and Alameda, Cali
fornia. Eligible men are enrolled
with the rank of Chief Petty Officer j
at $126 a month and are graduated I
as Ensigns in the U. S. Maritime
service.
Commander Harry H. Dreaney
of the War Shipping administration
addressed the graduates at a ban
quet at the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York city, held under the joint
auspices of the New London school
and the American Merchant Ma
rine Institute. Prizes for excellence
in Merchant Marine subjects to
honor graduates were awarded at
that time.

Behind repeated appeals to the public —
urging use of long distance only when
it's really necessary — lies just one mo
tive—to do everything possible to assure
our military and production authorities
the swift, dependable telephone service
they need to direct and supply America's
combat forces.
Long distance lines are carrying an in
creasing volume of these vital war calls.
The volume of non-essential civilian mes
sages is also heavy.
Normally, we would
install enough new
equipment to fill all
demands for service,
but we can't today because the needed
materials are going to war.
Voluntary reduction of long distance
usage will help tremendously to keep
crowded lines clear for quicker handling
of vital war calls.
That's why you are being asked to
make only essential long distance calls,
and to speak briefly when you do have
to make a call.
Long distance lines to these cities are especially crowded with war calls. Make
only really urgent calls to these points or to places in these general localities.
