New York, Dec. Z3---The report OF
the special committee which investi
gated Dr. Frederick A. Cooks claim or
having reached the summit of Mount
Mckinley will be delivered to the
Board OF Governors of the Explorers
Club tomorrow. While the investiga
tors will not dlvulge the text OF the
report, they do not deny that 1t dis
credits Dr. Cooks claims. and such a
verdict has been generally anticipated.
Although Walter Lonsdale. Cooks
secretary. delivered only the carbon
copies OF the explorers report at Co
perlhag gen, 1t is reported here now that
Mrs. Cook went abroad with the orig
inals and was to have delivered them
to Lonsdale in London. but that she
and Lonsdale missed each other and

w. s. Schieyss demand that Command
ar Peary submit his Polar data to the
eonsistory OF the University of Copen-
hagen for verification, following that
body's reputation Of DR.. Cook has
raised storm among the membership
or the National Geographic Society,
which gave Peary a clean bill of
health
The leading members claim that the
scientists of the United States woul1
be demeaning themselves IL they
acknowledged that stheir findings need
verification. There seems to be no
Copenhagen board the data filed by
Peary. but there Is q well defined OPP
position against turning 1t over to the
Danish scientists for official action.
The argument advanced by Admiral
Schley that such examination would
remove all question of doubt from the
claim OF Peary, Is looked upon as
rather gratuitious. The records OF
Peary have been found unimpeachable
by American scientists and therefore
the question is not whether Peary is
right, but whether the scientists are
wrong.
Nothing can be gained by submit
ting Commander Peary's data to the
University of Copenhagen said Pro-
fessor Gannett, who was chairman OF
the committee that passed on Peary's
proofs, land don't see any reason
why he should. The committee which
passed upon his records Is fully quail
fled TO arrive at an unbiased con-
elusion, Notwithstanding that almost
every member Is acquainted with
Commander Peary,s / need not say
that the Investigations were carried
on along scientific lines. without .re-
gard to the, personality or the stand
ing OF either claimant
Absurd, says Ciaester.
Rear Admiral Chester. who attacked
Cooks data some time ago, denounced
the proposition of Admiral Schley as
absurd He declared he did mol
believe that the University Of Copen-
hagen would consider making a re-
quest for proofs and that the whole
matter was a mares nest He also
drew attention to the fact that the
Royal Geographical Society of Eng
land and the Geographical Society OF
Berlin had already acknowledged
Peary as the .discoverer of the pole
and that the latter Society had planned
to honor him in Berlin next year. He
also looked upon the verdict of the
Due D'Abruzzi, himself an explorer of
no small fame, that Peary placed foot
on the apex of the world, as additional
proof why the demand of Admiral
Schley might well be ignored.
A cablegram dated Copenhagen to
J. Howard Gore, one of the members
of the special committee named TO
look into the Cook data. unofficially
announced that the Danish scientist
had sent their report on Cooks data
to the National Geographical Society.
The report and the field note book of
DR.. Cook will be reviewed by the COM
mittee early next month.

STARTLING SHORTAGE
EXISTS IN POTATOES
To Meet Demand Coast Must Depend
Upon East - Prices Will
Advance

Advices from the north are that there is
today an actual shortage of 900 sacks Of po-
tatoes and that 2S00 cars of 25O sacks each will
have to be secured outside Of California and
Oregon.
Potatoes on hand at Stockton amount to
95 600 sacks, and there are S5 900 sacks I'M
shipped on river banks. At San Francisco
there are 65 900 sacks, at Watsonville q, 900
sacks Salinas valley and Lompoc 5000 sacks
Oakland $1,000 sacks, and at Los Angeles
25 900 sacks. The total stock at shipping CEN
ters in California is $50, 600 sacks, and the es-
timated supply from Oregon is 10000 sacks.
The total stock hand in California is
closely estimated at 100000 sacks
AS the requirements of the market are
1,200 600 sacks, the shortage due to floods is
700. 900 sacks.
1t is not expected that there will be an
actual potato famine, but it is obvious that the
shortage must be met by shipments from the
east and that prices will reach higher mark.
At present 2G214c a pound is the lowest range
at which eastern potatoes can be sold, and
with advances in the east due to natural con-
ditions and the heavy drain on the supply, it
follows that prices the coast will move up
accordingly.

eggs declined 1c a dozen, bringing the quota

CHICAGO. Feb. 24-In one particular the
wheat market today was peculiar The leading
bull interest practically turned its back on
into the July wheat operations This fact was
well known, something of the same sort
was observable yesterday. For weeks past the
bears in the local market have been selling July
wheat when they dared to sell anything.
There was big sleeping short interest in the
new crop month, and it walked up today when
the price started UP sharply Shorts took quite
a hand in the buying for that month. There
was good profit in the upward indemnities,
and there was lot of buying traceable to
that fact. There was much bull news, but not
especially of the kind to influence the new
crop months any more than the May. Liver
pool, Paris, Antwerp and Berlin were all
strong and higher. Brookhal cabled that
agents are reporting probability of an early
let up in Australian and Argentine shipments
cold wave is predicted tonight for portion
of the winter wheat belt but this was given
little attention. Prefer to natural set
back even in the July before advising buying
orders.
Chicago again demonstrated its capacity for
taking care of a great quantity of corn without
becoming at all worried over it. Receipts this
morning were 1895 cars Most of this corn was
hedged when the country sold 1t during the
soft weather of last week. Receiving houses
don't expect the big movement to continue.
The sample market steady for the day.
Cold weather predicted will have a tendency
to increase corn supply at all centers.
Receipts today were 4S3 cars and the estimate
for tomorrow is 179. On any oversoId spot be-
Heve the oats will do to buy.
Several local interests took the selling side
of provisions during the morning. but prices
made fair advance because brokers supposed
to be acting for the packers were buyers at the
time. Renewed selling of a local character
the last hour caused prices to lose early ad-
vance

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, Feb. PA check came to-
day to the disorderly liquidation that was
demoralizing the stock market. The per-
ception that the course Of yesterday. If con-
tinued would lead to that result, prompted
some measure Of equal support The large
short interests were prompted to reduce
their short lines with the signs of greater
stability in the market. This demand was
a potent influence IN the recovery of prices.
The buying demand however, was Ian
guild. After periods Of dullness caused by
the mutual indiherences of buyers and sell
ers, the traders tested the market by ad-
vancing bids. The undertone OF the mar
ket was therefore firm. although lacking
aggressive strength. London apparently
was as confused over the outlook as our
own market and a sharp relapse there from
a former advance, coming just before the
New York market opened, had much TO do
with the feverIsh fluctuations of the after
noon market. There was better feeling
over the steel trade outlook and a growth
of confidence that the price concessions on
steel products were a preliminary to re-
vival in the trade. The proportions of the
market readjuEtment obtained clearer form
and were corrected from the extravagant
assumptions of yesteday that an immediate
relapse to the acute conditions of 1907 was
in prospect. The conviction finds very gem
era1 expression that fundamental condi-
tions are sound and are shaped toward bet
terment.
The money market was unaffected by the
large operations Of the day. The call for
the return Of s3o.ooO,Ooo Of government de-
posits TO the treasury matured and the New
York banks turned over many millions of
this amount yesterday and today on ac-
Of interior correspondents. Over a million
dollars in gold was engaged for shipment
for Argentina. Last prices were dearer
than yesterday to the extent of 8 a share
for Reading, for United States Steel and
some of the minor steel industrials and
from to a share for the most prominent
railroad stocks
The bond market was irregular. Total
sales par value, $3.50, o00
