Total 18,000 Bales. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 24.—The cotton market opened steady today at an advance of 4 to 10 points, in re- sponse to the persistent firmness of Liverpool and the rather bullish im- pression made on sentiment by the stopping of the March notices issued here yesterday. The advance met considerable real izing and some Southern selling, and after selling at 14.18 at the start, May reacted to 14.14. October sold off from 14.58 to 14.55, but enough covering and trade buying held the market steady at net advances of 5 or 6 points at the end of the first hour. Additional March notices aggregat- ing somewhat over 10,000 bales were reported in the market A feature of the early news was the continued active spot business in Liv- erpool, where sales of 18,000 bales were reported, including 13,000 American. New Orleans Market. 3W ORLEANS, February 24 (#). rade buying kept cotton prices on advance today after they had lost 4 or 5 points on realizing. Opening prices showed gains of 5 to 8 points, which were helped by the large spot sales in_Liverpool, which was again 18,000 bales. May advanced further as the morning progressed, going to 14.1%, later months remaining at the opening highs of 14.02 for March and 14.35 for May. A good demand for spots in the Southern markets was reported. ISSUE OF WHEELING COMMON IS APPROVED I. C. C. Authority Allows Road to Convert Preferred and Prior Lien Stock Into Common Shares. D.

Out near the center of the United States, business men are cheerful about trade prospect about further gain: sions. At my request, E. W. Mentel, dustrial commissioner of the K City Chamber of Commerce, ha: a wide canvas of sentiment, and his comment represents a composite view point. “It_is the consensus of opinion. Mr. Mentel says, hat the busin outlook for 1927 is better than U\ 1926 for both Missouri and Kan: If this expectation is realized, it will have far-reaching effects on the Na- tion's business. For example, the un- precedentedly high earnings in 19 of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad were ascribable largely to the excellent crops in the section of Kansas through which its lines pass. Heavy oil loadings in the Panhandle of Texas were another main contribu- | ing cause. | Like the rest of the country, how- | ever, the Middle of America is not| brimming with overconfidence.

There is somewhat of fear, of caution, but on | the whole the outlook is promising and we believe that the majority are hopeful for a good year. | Hand-toMouth Buying. An interesting development in that part of the country is the new dis- position of ational manufacturers to adjust themselves to the current mood of handto-mouth buying. In order to make it possible for the retailer to buy sparingly out the danger of shortages tendency on the part of 1 wrers to establish branches in the Kansas City territory to distribute their ather than rect number of new tering the et The psum Co is in the midst of the erection of a large plant for the manufacture of chip board.

Building in Kansas Clty was in smaller volume in 1926 than in 1925 by a wide margin. Moreover, last month hew building permits fell off materially. Nevertheless, the Chamber of Com- merce reports that a good many proj- ects are on the boards and predicts that the volume of building for this year will at least equal that of 1926. As for current actfvity, Mr. Mentel declares: “There has been practically mno change in wage scale. Labor is well employed in Kansas City at this time. Figures recently compiled show that employment in some 30 local indus- | tries was considerably above this time a year ago. Unemployment Is slightly below normal. Factories’ Pace Normal. “Manufacturing plants in Kansas City are operating at normal capacity. | There is some expansion under way, arly in the flour milling in ¥, which made some very satis factory gains in production last year.

By this act the railroad will be able to allow the conversion of all of its preferred and prior lien stock into com- mon, at the option of the holders. No objection was made to the Wheeling & Lake Erie application. A part of the difficulty which caused the ‘recent wild fluctuation in the Wheeling & Lake Erie stock on the New York Stock Exchange was de- clared to have been due to the fact that holders of preferred and prior lien stock sold the common stock short, intending to convert their prior lien and preferred into common to make final delhery of common.
