(AmerIcan News Service)

Washington, Feb. 5.-President Taft
has informed the senate and house
leaders that he will not consent to
any wnitewash of the tariff in the
proposed congressional Investigations
into the increased cost of living. In
line with his purpose to have a scien-
tific investigation made of the entire
tariff question. he wants no suppress
sion of facts in regard to the opera
ton of the Payne bill. If the latter
is in any way responsible for the in
creased cost of living the president
wants to know it. He believes the
people are entitled to such informa-
ton and he is wise enough to see that
it will do more harm than good to
attempt any whitewash, or to conceal
any facts from the people.
1t is expected now that by Monday
the preliminaries for the proposed in
vestigation of the increased cost of
living, by the senate will have been
completed.

the senate promptly.

New York, February 25.-The cotton
market was nervous and irregular today.
but after losing an early advance rallied
in the late trading with the near months
relatively firm and the close generally
steady, net 4 points lower to 10 points
higher
The opening was steady at a decline
of points to an advance of points.
March being~.relatively easy and August
relatively firm The appearance Of prom
inent spot house brokers around the ring
as buyers of March confirmed yesterday
reports that March deliveries would be
promptly stopped, and while it was es-
timated that notices representing about
10000 bales or more We're issued, the
market advanced right after the opening
with March selling at 14.22c and May
at 1886 or 4 to 3 points net higher, and
in the case of May So points above the
low level of Wednesday.
It was soon found, however, that the
notices were being allowed to circulate
through the street. there was some scat
tering commission house liquidation of
March, and at the early advance offer
ings from Liverpool and southern sources
became quite heavy The market, con-
sequently, reacted with May selling off
to a. lie and the active old crop months
generally to a net loss of about 10 to
Is points during the late forenoon. But
the notices seemed to have been stopped
by midday and in the afternoon the mar
ket became decidedly firmer on rumors
that large interests had taken a consid-
cradle block of cotton rendered and had
engaged freight room for the shipment
Of 25,0O0 bales from New York to Liver
pool.
The prospective reduction in the local
stock seemed to encourage bullish oper-
atfons in the near months and both
March and May contracts sold at the
highest point late in the day with March
touching IA. CSC and May 14.3Sc. The close
was only a little off from the best on
these positions under realizing, while
later months, following the advance in
the near positions slowly, were about
points higher to points lower
Southern spot markets officially report
ed early were generally unchanged and
beyond the March developments there
was little or no feature in the days
news.

tire Session and the Close Is Slight

Chicago, February 25-Urgent demand
for July wheat caused sharp advance
late In the session, prices moving up from
INC to 2ssc after dragging heavily. Corn
was weak most of the day although it
responded slightly to the late strength
in wheat Oats kept within narrow limits
showing neither the weakness of corn nor
the strength of wheat, while provisions
ruled higher all day under a good demand
and finished from 715c to 171ac up, pork
leading the van.
Sluggish demand for cash wheat, in
creased arrivals and weak cables were the
ket on a down grade most of the session.
In the last hour q strong speculative de-
mand for the distant months. finding its
basis Ia renewed drop damage reports, ran
away with the market and forced prices
up from 1850 TO 2sc above the low point,
July and September deliveries carrying
the banner. Onb concern was credited
with buying between 100000 and 100000
bushels of July gain. which drove shorts
to cover. July forged from 81 .05 to 81 .075s
and September frpm 81 00s4 to 81 0Sss. May
mounted from s143ls to $.14s4. The close
was strong at mar the high point, with
May at S1.14ssqL .14s4, &c higher than
final figures of yesterday, and July at

May closed at 65JQ66c, a shade lower than
final figures of Yesterday.
Trado in the bats pit was practically
featureless all day. Prices kept within
narrow limits, nbt exceeding 1ac in fiuct-
nations. A fair chipping demand kept the
market from sagging. May closed at AIS
di7l4c, shade higher than yesterdays
final figures.
Provisions were strong all day on the
impetus given tH continued light receipts
OF live hogs at the packing centers. Lard
and ribs were bought freely by packers
and there was considerable profit-tal1ing
by longs. Pork ran up to $23.97 for the
MAY delivery and closed 121141719c higher

New Orleans, February 25.-Cotton fu-
lures opened quiet at a decline of to
points on uncertainty over March notices
in the New York market. Cables were
about as due. Immediately after the call
kilograms from New York stating notices
for 10000 bales had been issued. but were
beirg promptly stopped gave the market
a better tone, and prices advanced until
at the end of the first half hour of trad
ing the more active months were to s
points over yesterdays closing. The
weather map was dry in the west and
this helped the market by preventing
short sales on the rise. Private messages
from Texas complained loudly of the lack
Of moisture, which, with planting time
only TWO weeks off in some districts, is be-
ginning to be a serious thing.
Chicago operators wired that one of the
largest wholesale dry goods houses in that
city had announced an advance of Aq9sc
per yard in American prints, effective
March S, and this was taken as an indica-
ton that large Chicago traders were
again on the bull side.
On the rise in the early hours bears be-
came aggressive, and during the rest of
the morning they sold short heavily. Many
rumoIs were spread about, the chief one
being that fully 5000 notices had been
issued in the New York market, and that
they had been allowed to circulate back
and the announcement of a net plus cor
rection in the Bremen stock of 2S,005 bales,
caused prices OF the old crop positions
to decline 11@26 points from the top. The
new crops were less active and October
lost only 9 points from the highest. At
noon the market was quiet and steady, 10
points up from the lowest of the morning.
In tho afternoon session the market was
dull and dragging. Once or twice prices
strengthened on profit-talSing by shorts,
and at one time the more active months
were q point or two above yesterdays
closing. but during the larger part of the
session they were few points below.
English cables told of better business
in Manchester, and New York wired many
messages to the effect that a large portion
of its stock would soon be taken up on
March contracts and shipped to foreign
ports, but against these bullish features
was the constant readiness of bears to sell
the ring all the cotton it wanted to buy.
The closing was steady at net decline
Of : to points.
