FLUCTUATIONSir
STOCKS IRREGULAR
Reading, New Haven and
N. Y. Central Develop
Business
New York, March 11.—The strong tone
of the preceding session was lacking ir
the stock market today and fluctuations
were irregular. Attempts at the outset tc
extend the rise were checked by large
selling of American sugar and the east
ern railroad shares. Sugar fell to th«
lowest point since 3907. Reading, New
Haven and New York Central developed
heaviness. The whole list softened.
Pressure diminished in the latter pari
of the day and among the industrial!
there were numerous points of strength
Railroad shares, however, exhibited fur
ther weakness. Rock Island common at
4*4, the preferred at 7li and the collat
erals at 40. touched new' lowr records
Western Pacific 5s dropped 4 points tc
a low record at 59.
The improvement among the industrial!
was helped on by good reports from the
iron and steel trade. Row priced coppei
shares were bought on indications yf ai
increased demand for the metal.
Steel’s annual report showed an in
crease of $3,638,000 in gross profits. Sloss
Sheffield's yearly statement gave a gab
in net of $143,000. The weekly review*
of trade authorities, however, said tha1
current business in finished steel waf
■low.
American Sugar’s recent decline wa*
explained by the sharp decrease in earn
ings shown in the annual report. The
gross profits for 1913 were $3,303,000 undei
the preceding year.
Gossip of a possible cut in New YorV
Central's dividend rate at this time was
ended by the declaration of the regulai
dividend on which the stock ralliec
■harply after an early slump.

ing in the English market. Bonds wen

LESS ACTIVilf iN
THE COTTON MARKET
After Opening: Advance
Eases Off Under Reward
of Bear Pressure
New York, March Jl.—Cotton was less
active today, and after an opening ad
vance eased off under liquidation or n
renewal of bear pressure. Selling was
not aggressive enough to cause any
sharp break, however, and the close
was steady, net unchanged to 6 points
lower.
There were some overnight buying
orders around the ring at the start,
while the cables were relatively steady,
and the market opened at an advance
of 5 points to a decline of 1 point.
Active monls sold about 2 to 6 points
net higher shortly after the call, but
the market soon turned easier on re
alizing. Liverpool was a moderate
buyer of old crop months on the de
cline, but was an active seller of new
crop positions, which were also offered
freely by recent buyers, and eonse
quently led the decline, which carried
the general list some 1 to 8 points nei
lower. Trading became less active lie ■
low yesterday's closing figures, how
ever. and moderate rallies occurred late
In the afternoon after reports of good
southern spot demand and covering by
some of the early sellers.
Closing prices were at practically the
final figures of yesterday on old crop
months, and March maintained a pre
mium of some 57 to nil points over
May deliveries. Houses with southern
connections had comparatively few or
ders during the day, and while several
of the Wall street houses were heavy
sellers presumably for protects, others
were good buyers of new crop months
on the declines.
A private report indicating an in
crease In acreage of about 2.7 per cent
attracted some attention, but the fig
ures seemed to be without any imme
diate market influence.

IN MIDDLE WEST
Prices Divided; Firmer for
New Crop, But Weaker
for Old
Chicago, March 11.—Wheat prices
were divided today, becoming firmer
for the new crop, but weaker for the
old. Damage reports were numerous
and export milling demand zero. Heavi
ness prevailed at the close which va
ried from U (g % decline to %#% ad
vance. Corn finished 1-16 off to %
up. and oats with a gain of a shade to
%. In provisions the outcome was a
rise of 5 to 7% #10.
News of injury to fall sown wheat
came confidentially from the light soil
sections of western Kansas and Ne
braska. Some of the barm referred to
was said to be from freezing, but most
of the damage was attributed to high
winds blowing the wheat out of the
ground. Excellent authorities at
Omaha and Kansas City, however,
agreed that complaints were the least
important known in a decade at tills
time of the season.
First purchases of new crop wheat
this year were made here. The amount
bought was 30.000 bushels—part to ur
Ove in Chicago bjr July 20, the rest at
any time in July. Prices agreed on
were half under quotations for t li •>
July option and were to be for No.
2 red or No. 2 hard, which ever ship
pers might elect. The wheat is t<> pome
from Illinois.
In corn a revival of cash demand at
Buffalo. Kansas City and here gave
the market an upward slant. Signs
that receipts would be smaller tended
to increase the confidence of the hulls.
It was gossip that one conspicuous
short covered as much as 1,000,000 bush
els while prices were on the advance.
Oats reflected the strength in corn.
There was a good deal of influential
selling by commission houses, though,
whenever the bulge seemed to assume
undue proportions.
Packers buying and shorts covering
were responsible for provisions taking
the upgrade. It looked as if the manu
facturers were trying to establish a
better level on which to realize.

LATEINSESSION
Market At Highest 3 to (i
Points Over Tuesday’s
Close
New Orleans, March 11.—The cottoi
market was nervous today, moving lit
fully within narrow limits. The closi
was steady with prices 2 points down ti
1 point up, compared with the last quota
tions of yesterday. The low levels of thi
day were in the afternoon, when tin
trading months were 7 to 8 points unde
yesterday's close, but profit taking b;
scalping shorts caused a reaction lab
in the session. At the highest the mar
ket stood 3 to C points over yesterday':
finals.
One of tile main depressing influences o
the day was the report that Mancheste
mills were further cutting down tin
injurs of operation. This stimulated sell
ing in the face of bullish expectations re
guiding the February figures on Amerl
can consumption and unBatisfactor;
weather accounts.

Demand on Morris Avenue
Is Decidedly Off—Fish
Still Scarce
The uncertain weather In the early
morning hours of yesterday and the
downpour of the afternoon kept the de
mand on Morris avenue down to a
minimum all day. In the poultry and
vKK market the supplies were all that
could be desired, but the demand was
decidedly off. In the fish market the
supplies are still lacking, but this was
not appreciably felt, yesterday, owing
to the slight demand in practically all
lines.
Produce dealers expect the net re
sult of this week’s business to sho\»
up strong, unless the rain continues.
