 Futures opened steady at decline of to points on somewhat lower cables than expected but immediately follow ing the opening there was a recovery to the level of last nights closing. On this slight advance short selling became ag- gressive and prices immediately gave way. The selling was based on minus correction of 1e,000 bales in the mill talk ings for the week. making them 25O GOO bales instead of 266,000, and the state ment by leading authority that pick ing was still in progress in Texas This statement was incorrect in the proper sense inasmuch as the only picking go- ing on anywhere in the belt is of the scraps of lint left in the fields but 1t had It's effect upon the market, resulting in a decline of 20 to 21 points on the more active positions. Toward the end of the season shorts took profits and caused something of a reaction the market clos ing steady at a net decline of 13 to 1S points.

Fishermen Catch 5000 Shud.

Norfolk. Va. March 3l.-Ripples
which covered acres Of water at Buck
Roe Beach on the Chesapeake to-day
first surprised patient fishermen there
and then astonished them as the dis
turbance reached their seincs and
made them taut until ii seemed that
they would be torn away.
a shad or two pushed above the
surface told the fishermen that the
force below was great school of the
fish which they had been long hoping
would come their way.
With all their might they tuggt 1
and finally got their nets out Of the
water. Still the water was ripping.
The nets were returned and another
like haul was made. This was repeat
ed the third time with undiminishcd
success, and still the water ripplcd
apparently as much as ever, but the
fish had then gone too far away for
another haul.
Fifteen thousand &had had been
taken and the fishermen had had the
best day Of their lives. Nothing like
the number OF shad at Buck Roe has
ever been seen before in the Chcsa-
Dcakp.
