tee. the gossip which is current in Of

The showing which the secretary
made Is regarded as unfortunate. AID
although he made an emphatic denial
Of Mr. PinchOts statement that he had
given his assent to the sending of the
DolllveF letter. his confusion over
what he had told Mr. Pinchot. and his
understanding or misunderstanding Of
the situation did not in any way im-
prove the administration side Of the

Another estatement which he made
and which is not regarded as calcu-

sdgment that he knew almost nothing
OF what was going on in the forestry
service, which is under his jurisdic-

sold points up, but trading was very limited in thisf month. The sustaining features of the market were the forecast for continued dry weather in the western belt and the official figures on weight of cotton bales for the first six months of the season The average weight of bales was put at .42 pounds, against 5ls. Al during the same period last year Cable messages from Manchester said that some mills were feopening, and that others were resuming full time The eablegrams had the effect of preventing short sales.

COTTON DECLINES
 IN SMALL DECREE Some Nervousness Is Shown
 Among the Brokers. DEMAND IS IMPROVING Cables From Liverpool Report That Lancashire Mills Are on Full Time,
 But This Fails to Keep
 .s Prices Up.
DEMAND IS IMPROVING

New York, March 7.-There was not great deal of business in the cotton mar ket today but while fluctuations were irregular within comparatively narrow range, they were such as to suggest some nervousness over the position of the near nonths. The close was steady, at a net decline of 1@7 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of one point, to decline of 1 points, and, in spite of relatively steady cables, soon sold eff to a net loss of Sd5 points, with late months relatively easy under scattering liquidation, which may have been due to rumors of rain in the southwest No precipitation was shown on the carly map and with the forecast for clear weather, there was consider able demand on the early break. not only from southern bull interests, but from scattering local traders, on which prices soon rallied to a net advance of about 2Ql5 points on the old crop, and to the closing figures of last night on the later months.
 This improvement was aided by caoles from Liverpool reporting that Lancashire mills which had been closed down were opening up, and that mills which had been running on short time were resum- ing operations on full time, but during the afternoon renewed rumors of show CTS in Texas started early buyers to real izng, and May contracts sold off from +. .eSc to 14.57c, while October declined to 1247c There was a good demand for May on this break. and that position stiffened up toward the close, which was at 1462c bid while the late months re- nlained at about the low point Of the day.
 Southern spot markets officially report ed early, were unchanged to lac lower. The local market was full of ru- n7ors regarding the May situation, and some traders express the opinion that MT Patten and his friends were planning a squeeze of the active spring month, which was selling 31 points over July al the close tonight, against 27 points yes terday.

WHEAT MARKET
 E AGAIN bOLLISH Reports of Crop Damage Cause
 a Furry of Buying. CLOSE IS AT THE TOP
Corn Is Also BuIlishIy Affected and All Offerings Are Very Quickly Ab- sorbed--Oafs and Provisions
 Also Make Gains.

Chicago, March 9.-Urged on by a flood of crop damage reports, wheat prices ad- vaneed throughout the. session today, closing 1Ac to 3a4c up. Corn advanced, anxiety of shorts to cover being the nov
 ing factor. Oats gained in a less degree, while provisions went steadily higher on the strength of increased prices for live hogs, May pork closing at $25.5S.
 Strong speculative buying from the out set materially increased the bullish eff feet of reiterated tales of crop dam prices in the wheat pit to mount stead fly. May was the least responsive of the deliveries advanced from s1.111a to $1. 13ia, while July, in which there was a large investment, went up from S1.05 to s1.071zQ .072s and September travelled from $1 .01A to $1 .043s The strong tone of the market continued to govern to the close, which was at practically the high point. Final figures for the May delivery were 1Mc up at s1 .13ss.
 Corn prices were on an upgrade throughout the day session. the desire of shorts to cover being evident at all times. Quantities of the grain put out by the larger concerns from time to time were quickly absorbed May advanced from 621sc to 1A37sc; the more distant deliveries making fractionally less gains.
 Cash corn shared in the advance and gained from 1c to cents. The demand was good and offerings were comparative ly small. No. 3 yellow sold at 591sc to 59sac.
 The close for the futures was strong May finishing 7sGp1c up at 635sQGSs4c.
 Trade in the oats pit lacked the strength displayed by the other grains. strong undertone, based on fair shipping de- mand investment buying and covering trades. ran prices up from &M1c and counter balanced initial weakness. The bulls at the close had forced the dis tant options to within 1sc of yesterdays final figures and crowded May up to a finish 5sG%c higher, at 443s@45c, a shade lower than the high point of the day.
 A notable advance of 30c to 35c in live hog prices together with the scarcity or animals at the packing centers, gave strong encouragement to the bulls in the privisions pit and all the products gained materially. The advances did not come with steadiness seen in wheat, but swelled and receded responsive to the momentary success of the buyers and sellers.
 May pork advanced from s24 921s to ss25 45. and July pork reached s2b.5 while lard and ribs made pronounced gains. The buying was largely from outside in terests. The close was strong all along the line Final figures for the May prod ucts were Pork, $25 35. 4212c up; lard, s13. .Ss91S S5, 35@40c higher ribs, slS.271s, 271ac up.
