 NEW YORK, March I2-Cotton futures in the local market today opened steady in tone with first prices at a small advance averaging 2T3 points. In consequence of covering by shorts the market maintained firm tendency for time and prices advanced some 6d8 points The flood outlook while figured to be improved by many, was regarded still quite serious by a few and the buying as a result was help. However, 1t became apparent that shorts were the best buyers and with no in- dications that the clique disposed to SUD- port its position on the long side of the ac- count sentiment became bearish and the market declined appreciably. There was a steadier feeling on the lower levels and longs bought on the reaction theory. but their buy Ing was not of the aggressive type and as the day wore on there was more or less irregu-

NEW YORK, March I2.-There was a sight improvement in cotton in the early market when it was thnt Liverpool had not weak ened to any great extent In that market there was 6GS points decline when New York opened, but spots held their own while re- ceipts of l 900 bales at Liverpool heped to swell the stocks at that point New York hesitated somewhat because of better weather in the South. Rain fell today only at few points and was in no instance heavy, while the early forecast for fair weather in all directions. Everything now depends on the ac- ton of parties in control of actual cotton. II expected that these would let go much sooner in fact when prices were # cent lower and it is question whether they will hold on until they 1sG cent still higher The only thing against the market Is the possi- bnity of increased receipts. but then again the high rivers in the Southwest may more than offset these. Taking this into considera- tion an upward tendency set in after the opening and shorts covered pretty freely, but after advancing 6@7 points the market broke l9 points on stop orders when a recovery fol- lowed Cables were e6lo points lower Port receipts estimated at 2o.ooo, against 2,- GOO last year,

NO PLAN A DDPTED
WITHDRAWAL oEe Vessel FROM
THE NAvAL4a61LtTIA.
The Oneida is Not Likely. to Be Taken
at Once From the District - Mr..
ST.
Darling's Statement.

Assistant Secretary Darling, who has
charge Of naval militia affairs at the Navy
Department, said today that there was no
disposition or purpose to embarrass the
various militia organizations using govern
ment naval vessels by the withdrawal Of
such vessels as are absolutely needed by
the navy without giving them timely notice.
He explained that no definite plan Of action
in the matter had yet been decided upon
by the department as 20. what vessels shall
be reclaimed by the navy, nor was it set
tied when such Withdrawals shall be made.
The matter is an important one and will
have to be carefully considered before ac-
ton can be taken.
Some of the state militia have naval ves-
sells which are needed by the navy to assist
in the training of recruits, and unless other
provision can be made they will have 70 be
withdrawn. The vessels referred to are
converted gunboats, and are now used by
the militia organizations as follows: Inca,
Massachusetts; Elfrida, Connecticut; Aileen,
New York; Huntress,s New Jersey; Sheer
water, Pennsylvania; Sylvia, Maryland;
Stranger, Louisiana; Hawk, Ohio; Doro-
thea, Illinois, and Oneida, District of Co.
lumbia. 1t is recognized that several Of
these vessels, notably the Oneida, could
the expenditure of more money than the
department can spare for the purpose at
the present time, and therefore they are not
at all likely to be withdrawn from their
present stations. But there are others in
comparatively good condition. and it is
these that the department thinks Of utiliz-
ing for the regular training service. One
such vessel has been already withdrawn
the Hornet, heretofore assigned to the naval
militia of North Carolina. That vessel has
been repaired and attached to the training
service at Norfolk.
Assistant Secretary Darling says that
that is as far as the department has gone
in the matter to date, and he added that no
action was likely to be taken with respect
to the other vessels under consideration
for some time to come He said further
that as there seem ed to be some uncer-
tainty on that point 1t could be stated posi-
lively that the department had no inten-
ton Of interfering in any way with the
wooden cruisers Enterprise, Saratoga and
st. Mary's, used, respectively, by the public
marine schools of Massa chusetts Pennsyl-
Vania and New York.
