LONDON, March 11.?Empire cotton
growing; on a commercial basis almost
immediately is foreshadowed from a
meeting: held yesterday in the House
of Commons, which was attended by
pome of the Lancashire, members of
the House and other persons financially
interested in the cotton trade, accord?
ing to "The Manchester Guardian."
A suggestion was approved, says the
newspaper, that the Lancashire cap?
italists provide 15,000.000 pounds ster?
ling for commercial dovolopment, to
be invested in cotton growing in some
selected colony or colonies, subject to
reasonable facilities by road and rail
to be provided by the colonies where
cotton is grown.
The meeting was adjourned for a
week In order that Inquiry might be
mad? into the practicability of Lan
Ms-lr? pro-iding the 914,000400.
Market Shows
Resistance to
Heavy Pressure
Short Sales and Profit
Taking Easily Absorbed;
Oil and Motor Shares
Are Strong and Active
Although the upward movement of
security prices were somewhat less vig?
orous yesterday, the stock market as a
whole was strong. Excellent resistance
to the considerable pressure which de?
veloped as a result of profit taking and
short selling was displayed at all
times. Brokers saw in the strong under?
tone evidence of a good technlcaleposi
tion, especially as prices had been ad?
vancing rather steadily since Monday
afternoon and a sharp reaction, there
forer* would have been natural.
Interest centered largely on the oil
and motor shares. The former were
stimulated bv the announcement that
the Standard Oil Company of New
York had increased the price of gaso?
line 2 cents a ?allon. This was ac?
cepted as another indication that oil
producing and refining companies are
in a favorable position owing to the
enormous demand for their products.
The statistical evidence tends to show
that in spite of the tremendous boom
which has been witnessed in the oil
business, including the development
of a number of important fields, the
demand for petroleum and its products
is in excess of-the current output, so
that trade interests are freely predict?
ing even higher prices. There is talk
of $10 a barrel for Pennslyvania crude.
These things tend to stimulate specu?
lation in oil shares, perhaps to a
greater extent than is warranted, since
at present prices the stocks of many
companies may have discounted a good
deal in the way of increased earnings.
There was nothing in the news to
account for the strength of the motor
issues. Probably it was based more
on technical conditions than anything
else. A substantial short interest in
the motors has been built up during
the recent advance?an advance which
amounts to over 100 points in General
Motors?and the continued. Btrength of
the market is inducing some of the
bears to cover rather than face the
possibility of further losses.
Copper shares generally held most of
the-gains made in preceding sessions.
The coppers are influenced a good deal
more vthan most stocks by the trend in
'the foreign exchange market, because
so much of their product is sold
abroad. The pound sterling yesterday
sold at $3.83, or 61 cents above its re?
cent low, and other foreign moneys
gained proportionately. Later, a sharp
reaction wiped out the ?rains reported
earlier in the day, but this was not
especially disturbing in view .of the
extent and rapidity of the recent ad?
vance.
There is an inclination in some quar?
ters to ascribe the recovery in foreign
exchange rates to improvement in the
trade outlook. This view may possibly
prove to be the correct one, although
that is doubtful. It should be remem?
bered that more than one element en?
ters into the exchange rates.
The export trade itself has held up
very well, as the January figures show
but it is to bo expected that the Feb?
ruary statistics will exhibit a declin?
ing tendency, which will continue for
some time, until eventually the bal?
ance is restored to something like a
normal basis.
Money yesterday renewed at 7 per
cent, . which rate was maintained
throughout the session. There was no
; change in the time money situation, the
I supply continuing so scant that high
bids failed to develop any considerable
offerings.
? ? -?-?
Money and Credit
Call money rates were unchanged
yesterday from the preceding day, all
loans being arranged at 7 per cent.
Bankers stated that much of the ap?
parent ease of the past week has been
I due to the deposit of funds in New
? York for payment of taxes next Mon
I day. In view of the proximity of these
j payments there was more of a feeling
i yesterday that rates may work higher
i until after they have been concluded.
? In some banking quarters the opinion
I was held that the government would
not redeposit a large part of the tax
I moneys in the New York banks.
The ruling rate for money yester?
day, compared with a year ago, follows:

Board Member Expelled
Stock Exchange Acts Against
B. B. aMrcuse
Bruno Benjamin Marcuee, a member
of tfre firm of Marcuse & Co., of Chi?
cago, was yesterday expelled from
membership in the New York Stock
Exchange. Announcement of this action
was made from the rostrum on the
floor of the exchange before the open?
ing of trading yesterday. Aside from
charging that Mr. Marcuse had made a
false statement to Stock Exchange au?
thorities, representatives of the ex?
change would not discuss the case, ex?
plaining that it was "an internal matter
of housecleaning," which did not di?
rectly concern the public.
_ Although Mr. Marcuse was in the
city Wednesday nitrht and appeared be?
fore the board of governors, of the
Stock Exchange, ail effort3 to find him
j yesterday to get his version were unsuc
' cessful. Mr. Marcuse joined the ex?
change on December 17, 1914, and since
his firm is in Chicago, did not per?
sonally trade on the floor, but the firm
did its business through other floor
members. Under the rules of the ex?
change. Mr. Marcuse may retain his
seat without.the privilege of member?
ship or sell it at the ?current market
price.
In Wall Street
Inactive? Strong
Many of the so-called inactive stocks
caught up with the onward march of
prices yesterday. Some extremely
large advances were r?K?s*cr*d *"!
number of these issues on <??Pa?
tively small transactions. There was
?Kelsey Wheel, for instance, wh.ch
! moved up 10 points on a trade o? ovo
shares. Columbia Graphophone pre?
ferred advanced 9 points on an ex?
change of fifty shares, American Brake
Shoe and Foundry preferred J?mP^
30 ?points on transactions i.nv^lving 900
shares, Central Railroad of New Jersey
went up 10% on 200 shares, Underwood
Typewriter 5% on 200 shares, Inter?
national Argicultural preferred 4% on
200 shares and General Chemical 10ft
on A single sale of 100 shares.
"What Do You Think of the Market?"
' The board member of a leading Wall
Street stock exchange firm: "It is my
own opinion that this market will go
considerably higher, as the general
trend appears to be upward. However,
wide fluctuations are likely to occur.
It is no time to buy unseasoned securi?
ties. I believe the steels, coppers and
rails offer the best speculative possi?
bilities."
Associated Dry Goods
Although directors of the Associated
Dry Goods Corporation did the ex
pected yesterday, when they declared j
an initial quarterly dividend of 1 per
cent on the common stock, .thereby
putting it upon an annual basis of 4 :
per cent, the stock advanced 1% points
on the announcement. The annual re?
port, Which will be issued to the stock?
holders within the next ten days, is
expected to show less than $15 a shane
earned in 1919, after deductions for
taxes and for preferred dividends. Even
then the company will have done much
better than in 1918, when only $2.04
was earned, and in 1917, when $1.54
was earned on the stock. The company
benefited in 1919 from the widespread
retail buying which held up well dur?
ing the summer months, a period when
sales have fallen off in other years.
Dry Goods, ha? outstanding $18,818,700
of 6 per cent cumulative first preferred,
$6,725.500 of 7 per cent cumulative
second preferred and $14,985,000 com?
mon. ?
Exchange Offer Expected
Formal offer is expected to be made
shortly by the Pennsylvania Railroad
to exchange new fifty-year 5 per cent
mortgage bonds of the Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis,
guaranteed by the Pennsylvania Rail?
road, for minority stock of the smaller
road, of which $19,292,956 is held by
the public. The remaining $65,567,155
of "Panhandle" stock is owned by the
Pennsylvania. It is understood that
the offer will be made on a basis of
$100 in bonds for each share of stock.
The P., C, C. & St. L. owes the Penn?
sylvania or its subsidiaries some $19,
390,000 for advances for improvements.
The Buying in Reading
Palm Beach is supposed to have been
a big factor in the market this week.
A well-known professional operator
who has been trading over a fast wire
to New York is credited with having
been one of the heaviest buyers of
Reading on its sensational rise since
Monday. The same operator was an
active buyers of rails on the move of
a fortnight ago. He is supposed to
have covered in a large short line on
the February dip.
The Call of the Ticker
Brokerage houses operating wires to
branch offices in the interior have been
handling this week a steadily increas?
ing volume of buying orders. This is
taken to mean that out-of-town traders,
who go to make up a large part of what
Wall Street is wont to call the "public"
is perking up confidence enough to get
back into the market. Somebody said
one time that "once a speculator al?
ways a speculator." The speculative
fever is difficult to combat once a kill?
ing is made. The big market of 1919,
when anybody and everybody made
money for a while, is still fresh in the
memory of most traders.
About Money
Optimism generated by the swift
ascent in stock prices this week has
not blinded the Street to possibilities
of further trouble due to credit condi?
tions. It would not surprise many
folks were the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York to mark up its official
rates of discount again. In fact, it is
understood that the directors of the
institution have the matter under con?
sideration. In connection with the
heavy payments being made through
the banks on account of Federal in?
come and excess profits taxes, due on '??
Monday next, the date of the first in?
stallment, it was pointed out yesterday
that the money market could not be
expected to benefit from any improve?
ment in the position of the banks such
as would follow from increased gov?
ernment deposits. The disposition of
the banks, it was stated by one banker,
is to do everything possible to re?
duce their indebtedness at the Reserve
institution, and any slack that might
develop will likely be taken up for
that purpose rather than in an ex?
pansion of Street loans. Looking
ahead, many leading bankers are said
to expect extremely tight money in
May or June. At a private dinner re?
cently given by a prominent banker to
a number of his friends it is under?
stood that this opinion was expressed
by several of those present in the
course of a discussion of the general
credit Situation.
Big Crucible Holdings Intact
According to a high official of the j
Crucible Steel Company of America '
none of the important holdings of com?
mon stock has been sold* It appears
in the light of this information that
che selling on the recent dip that car- :
ried Crucible to 189 represented short
selling mainly, plus weakly margined
long speculative accounts. It may be
recalled in this connection that Cru?
cible acted better than the majority
of the high-priced shares during the
fore part of the late fall in market
values, and never did move downward |
with the rapidity of General -Motors, i
Crucible was again a firm spot in the J
market yesterday, getting up to 232^
and closing at 228, up %, ?
Interesting But Untrue
It was reported in Wall Street yes- !
terday that the Krupps, of Germany, I
the steel organization which forged a !
large part of the? big guns that tried '?
to batter down the Allied line, were ?
planning to establish a selling agency
here. This was denied at the local :
agency of the Deutsche Bank.
