HAUGHs WILL INVESTIGATE THE
FIRE.
Department of Forestry to Plant More
Trees in the Area of Recent Destruc-
tion.

tOTeSler ttauBnS Will leave Tor fta-
wall next week to make a thorough in
Vestgation of the damages done by the
recent forest fire in Hamakua. He will
spend considerable time going over the
district and making observations, and
on his return steps will be taken to
plant new trees i'm place Of those des-
troyed.
Haughs will take maps with him, and
will be assisted by Commissioner
Forbes. who is now on the ground. He
will also consult with the planters re-
garding the needs of the case, and no
time will be lost in getting new trees
in the ground.
The hamakua fire was one of the
biggest that ever occurred in the ISL
ands. and it has left a wide space
of territory nearly bare where a luXu-
rient forest was growing when the fire
started This is regarded as a serious
loss that it will take many years to
recover from.
1t has not been decided yet what
kind of trees are to take the place Of
those burned. Haughs will make a rec
ommendation on his return. He is a
forester of lon~ experience in Hawaii
and is very familiar with the various
tees grown here" said Commissioner
Taylor. He has spent years among
the forests and knows every tree. EX-
periments are now being made with the
elm, which may be found to be a good
tree for plantir~ here"
While at Hamakua Haughs will make
maps of the burned district, and the
department of Agriculture and Fores-
try will then be in possession of all
the facts regarding the loss caused by
the big fire. The sugar planters and
others are all reported to be anxious
to have the district replanted, as it is
their settled conclusion here that the
destruction of forests tends to cause
lessening of water supply. by affecting
the rainfall and the seepage in the
soil.

ISpeeiai to The Advertiser.
 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. I7.-Advices from Liverpool were disappointing. but our mar ket nevertheless only opened 4 to 6 lower. declined points the large receipts and clear weather throughout the belt. With tenn peratures rising combined with the official prediction that fair and pleasant weather will continue the Southwest during the next thirty-six hours. fresh buying and cov- ering of shorts caused an improvement of 6 points later, but slightly easier feeling pre- vailed near the close. making the net loss 4 to 5 points the day. Spots were decidedly easier and even though concessions were made to effect transactions no eagerness was shown by exporters to buy freely Receipts on the increase and holders anxious to dispose of their accumulations. The weather is favorable for the growing crop and picking. still the un- satisfactory textile trade conditions existing in Europe restricts the volume of business. Sentiment is bullish and values therefore re- spond more to favorable influences. but the hedging of spots supply the contracts daily taken by purchasers. It will be necessary to attract active speculation to the article to effect this feature. otherwise it is questionable whether present vaules be maintained by the market. However h will for the moment be governed by receipts, weather and the de- mand for spots.

MARKET FOR FUTURES DISCOURAGED LONGS DISPOSE

 Points-Good Reports from
 Spinning Centres.

NEW YORK. Oct. l7.-Cotton futures opened steady with prices l to points lower in sym pathy with weak cables and continued to ease on pretty much all the forenoon continued selling by discouraged longs active selling by local export houses ho ,ges against large spot holdings in the South end confident pres sure from ths bear side. The bulk of these offerings were absorbed by commission houses who were we'll supplied with limited orders to buy on all declines. Prices were weak toward midday with January off to BOP and May to I92. Slightly warmer weather in the belt with private pr sdictions for increased :eceipts helped to undermine bull confid snce. But i'm mediately following midday rumors of an enormous spot demand South at first prices and smaller estimates for tomorrows receipts changed the whole market. Covering set in on a large scale and before D. it was ap- parent to all that the rt om had fully liquidated its long cotton and had sold for short account in the forenoon break. Commission houses be- came active supporters of the winter months and spot houses covered their short sales made in January, having sold large lines of cotton to New England mills. From SOP January rapidly stiffeLed to 8. II and other options accordingly with the close steady at a net loss of only 2 to points. Predictions from Wash ington for lower temperatures in the South west tonight and tomorrow with more bad crop accounts. added to the late une1siness among shorts. Splendid reports from .Ameri- can spinning centers were influential in the last hour.

 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. I7.-Freer exports to with feeling of confidence in lower prices and the expectation of a heavier movement to that market next week was held responsible for the easiness abroad today This apparent sense of security in the face of the strong position of that market and recent encouraging reports from Manchester followed by the statement that spinners were unable to locate the quality of cotton they desired. is quite astonishing and is somewhat likened to the sufferer who is temporarily relieved from pain and forgets his expressed determination during the experi- ence of agony to exercise extreme prudence for the balance of his life. The tone of prices here was steady throughout. fair demand was attracted from speculative sources ard the market showed a stout resistance to the declining tendency that Liverpool suggested.
 Some short selling occasioned by i'm proved weather and better crop viyews from the Eastern belt but thesc offerings were we'll absorbed.
 Closing quotations are about 4 Joints under yesterday.
 There is a moderate expansion in the move ment of cotton. while easier tone is noted in the spot department owing to a dminution in the demand. The shipments from counted interior towns, however, indicate that the res cent rise has been met by active sales, so that patience may be resorted to in effecting subsequent sales in the event of any effort to depress prices. Meanwhile the accounts Of do- nestle trade in manufactured cotton are very cheerful and 1t would not be surprising to note a better inquiry from this source while the foreign demand is in abeyance

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct i7.-There is con- tnued good demand for spot cotton, but the ttude of Liverpool and the relative heaviness of contracts at all points has proven sufficient to infuse an element of caution into the ranks of buyers and that contingent are rather in- clined to stand for slight concessions. Factors offering freely at the board level but show little inclination to cut under. Sales 1900 bales including 5000 to arrive. Quotations un- changed
 There was moderate amount of trading in the market for contracts The first call showed prices to points lower and later loss of 264 points was recorded After the noon hour a comparatively free buying movement set in under the influence of New York orders and comparatively light estimates of receipts for tomorrow at Houston and under this stimulus prices moved up with fair degree of steadi- ness until recovery of to 2 points had heen downward turn and during the last hour oi downward tur hand during the last hour of the day the market became somewhat more active with quick. if slight fluctuations in points below yesterdays figures
