WILSON DEFENDS
FARM STATISTICS

Washington, February 2S.--While the
boys in the east are leaving the farms
and seeking employment elsewhere, there
is room for optimism for farm life in some
parts of the country, said Secretary Will
son today in discussing the protest of the
National grange of West Virginia against
the figures in his annual report relative
to the values of wealth of American
farms.
The secretary said the figures, IS, 100000
800, mentioned in his report as the value
OF farm products last year, merely rep
resented the visible wealth of the farms
OF the country, including stock, cattle,
grain, ETC., and had nothing to do with
the cost of making the crops. He added
that the department had not reached the
point where it was able to give the net
profits of the American farms.
II know" he said, that some farmers
claim that the corn and grain should not
be counted in along with the stock, as
the grain is fed to the stock. But doesn't
that make the stock more valuable? %
The grange complained that the figures
we're misleading and represented the
farmer rolling in wealth, giving no data
as to the comparatively small profit he
made after the hardest sort of work.
In regard to the desertion of the farms
for the cities, the secretary said the young
people of the farms must be educated to
the possibilities of that life.
Last year he stated 1850 boys on
southern farms raised an acre of corn
each and some of them did splendid work.
This year the department is giving in
struction to the. young men in hog raising.
I'VE are trying to reach the old people
through the young ones,' he said

DECLINES
UNDER PRESSURE
Bears Get the Upper Hand in
Movement of Prices
SOME RECOVERY SHOWN
Close Is Above the Lowest But Marker
Is Weak in Spite of Bullish News
AZ Offerings Are Heavy on
the Decline
SOME RECOVERY SHOWN

New York, February 2S-The selling
movement which caused Saturdays
break was renewed in cotton today, and
there was further decline amounting to
about 81 per bale on active old crop
months The close was a little up from
the lowest as a result of covering, but
while the final tone was steady, prices
showed a loss of from - to SO points for
the day.
The opening was easy at a decline of
II to "a points on the old and of to u
points on new crop positions, under heavy
liquidation and bear pressure, notwith-
standing the relative firmness of Liver
pool during the local holidays, the con-
tinued absence of rain in the southwest,
and reports from the dry goods district
indicating that leading producers of
Mapped goods have sold their entire fall
productions.
After showing net loss of about "a to
&c points, on'active months, slight rallies
occurred as result of covering by trade
and speculative shorts, but the spot
houses, who bought March and May
seemed to be reselling in July, and after
the close of LIVERPOOL the market eased
off on freer southern offerings. At the
low points of the afternoon March con-
tracts sold at 10 Csc, May at 1880. and
July at 1850. or 81 to 40 points net lower,
and even at this level the demand seemed
limited to covering.
Southern spot markets officially report
ed were unchanged to 14c lower, but
there was no other confirmation of the
reported freer southern offerings, and the
decline was attributed to 8 continued
hand to-mouth spot demand and the near
err approach of the planting season, rather
than any particular item in the days
news Wire houses with southern and
western connections were the chief SELL
ers during the day and the character of
the business suggested an abandonment

New York, February 2S.-The stagnant
and inert stock market today was sug-
eestive of the arrival of the speculation
at a stage of waiting for the develop
ment of new forces. The room traders
labored to move prices and to turn small
fractional profits at the expense of each

tinguishable in the days TRANSACTIONS.
The sales fell to a figure lower than Tor
a year past, and there were long inter-

of the stock exchange.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. February 23.-(Special.)- Fur
Their American selling in Liverpool was
given as the reason for the decline there
in face of a better business in Man
chester. The concerted effort of the Eng
lish spnners to bring about a decline by
the short-time movement has so far
proved successful, by causing the large
American long interest to liquidate. -
this level. however, the spinners appear
again as buyers, both in this market and
quietly in Liverpool. There is a constant
demand for our stock, which is the cheap
est cotton anywhere at present basis. In
terror markets are slowly readjusting
themselves to the decline abroad. AS a
result of the break during the past week
the feeling has become very bearish, more
so than for many months, on the theory
that the action of spinners will finally
bring about free offerings from the south.
1t is reported from Fall River that the
mills there intend to close one day week.
