The surprising thing is the enormous
increase in earnings per mile Of the
Omaha" road in Iowa, and the fact
that it's earnings iii Iowa so far over
top its earnings on the entire system.
The Wabash converted profit into a
loss and the Great Northern merely
increased its losses per mile. but both
made lots of money per mile on the
system. Just why the Iowa Central
made such a fine increase in earnings
and the Illinois Central fell off so enor-
mously is not apparent The increase
in the Great Western Is accounted for
by coming out Of the hands of receivers
and becoming habilitated.

COTTON DECLINES ON
 GENERAL SELLING New Low Points for the Move
 ment Are Scored CLOSE BARELY STEADY Early Advlces Do Not Indicate That the Southwestern Drouth Is Broken, Which Is a Point in Fa-
 of Bulls
CLOSE BARELY STEADY

New York, February S.-After a some what irregular early session the cotton market weakened In the late trading with most of the active months selling into low ground for the movement and at the close barely steady at a net decline of to IA points.
 The opening was steady at an advance of points to a decline of points, some what steadier cables than looked for be- ing offset by reports of rains In the south west. Immediately following the call the old crop positions sold off to a net loss of to points and the new crop to a loss of about 3 points under liquidation by yesterdays buyers and bear pressure, but the early advices did not indicate that the Texas rains had been heavy. or general enough to help the drouth situa- tion to any material extent and this de- cline was followed by a rally on trade buying, covering and reports that the de- mand from mills had increased on the decline of yesterday. Speculative demand did not broaden, however. and after the market had sold up to 1450c for July or 1 to 6 points higher, prices weakened
 
 the late trading there was active selling for both accounts on reports of further rains in the southwest and reports that while the mills had been buyers on the decline of yesterday morning, they were refusing to follow the advance May con tracts sold off to 14.25c and July to IA BOG during the last hour or 16 to IS points net lower and the close was only little up from the bottom on covering.
 Southern spot markets officially report ed were generally unchanged to 1sc lower. The small estimate for tomorrow's re- ceipts at Galveston probably encouraged the rally during the morning, but bears evidently construed the figures as fore shadowing falling off In the export movement, although clearances continued heavy today and so far for the season are about 142O0OO bales ahead of last year
 Receipts at the ports today 31,259, against 374S7 last week and 9417 last year. For the week 10000 bales. against 1S2,59S last week and 90,S3O last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans 5432, against 159 last year and at Houston 6765, against 2493 last year.

pool stating that Manchester was re- fusing to follow the advance in the fu- ture market Selling was almost entirely from shorts, and after the call 1t was heavy enough to put the list to 10 points under yesterdays close On the decline fresh long buying began, and this caused shorts to scramble for profits with the results that the end of the first half hour of business prices were within 1 to points of yesterdays close.
 The market had a good tone from the early trading on. There was little selling power and the professional element ap- peared to have oversod and to be anxious to take in profits. Reports from Texas during the morning indicated that the rains there were too light to permanently alter the situation, and moreover that they did not occur in the counties suffer- ing the most from drouth. At the highest of the morning the trading months were unchanged to points Np, compared with yesterdays close At moon the market was ? to points under yesterdays final quotations.
 In the afternoon session the market weakened under renewed short selling based on expectation of more rain in Texas and the trading months were put 13 to IS points under yesterdays close.
 Cotton futures closed steady at a net decline of IA to 16 points.

VERY LOW POINT IS
 REACHED BY WHEAT.
After Fluctuations in Price the
 Close Is Irregular
CASH DEMAND IS POOR
Corn Is Bearishly Affected By Reports From Russia md the Close Is LOwer-Oats and Provisions
 Are Also Lower

Chicago, February S.-A lower 1e5e1 than at any time within the last three months was reached by wheat today. Big stocks and no demand weighed on the market Puying to cover short sales caused a rally, however, and the close was shade lower to shade higher compared with last nights figures. In the end corn showed loss of 14c to 14@asc, oats were off A@tsc and hog products down 5d71sc to POO.
 Except from purchasers stocking to off, set short sales, there was no support for wheat. The break in quotations came after flood of overnight stop loss ord CTS from frightened outside holders Some belated unloading on the part of focal operators cut quite a figure, too Predictions of mild weather for the winter wheat belt tended to discourage the bulls. Even the most patient owners were obliged also to admit the absence of any immediate prospect of an improve rnent in cash demand. As a matter of fact southwestern receipts continued larger than year ago, with a liberal inopOItiOH Hcdutu Stedully lOWaIQ C0i- cago. After midd;.y, though, the effect of the short covering in progress be- gan to have a decided result in the way of gradually putting the market lack to where the slump started.
 Details that there had been any rain of consequence in Texas helped make the final tone fairly steady. During the ses- sion May fiuctuated between 93ssc and 945sc and closed shade higher at 9lssc.
 Corn was bearishly affected by cables reporting that southern Russia had been offering freely to an extent which might make up for Argentine losses. May varied from 4Ss4c to 491ac and closed steady l.@asc down at 4s1s@4sAc. Cash corn was weak. No. yellow finished at 47M471ac.
 Oats made new low record for the crop year to date.
 AS in the case of wheat, longs were selling and spectators were pounding the price. High and low figures for May were 324c and si19@S1ssc. with last sales 14@9sc off at 32c fiat
 Packers and allied interests kept an ever supply of provisions in evidence all day The outcome was decline through out the entire list, pork 20c, lard 5@71sc to 1Oc and ribs 71ac.

CUBA TOMATOES AND
 EGG PLANTS ARRIVE Selling At s 50 and $4. 30 Per
 Crate, Respectively MUCH FEEDSTUFF IN Heavy stock of Commodities In Grain Market-Frequent Shipments of Fresh Eggs Keep Price Down
 To 20 Gents

A shipment of Cuba tomatoes and egg plants were received yesterday by the Morris avenue merchants, the tomatoes being quoted at 50 per crate and the egg plants at s4.50. Trade in general was quiet throughout the entire district. which Is result of the indictment weather.
 Wholesalers handling feedstuffs also re- ceived carload shipments of corn, oats and flour. There is heavy stock in this line and prices show tendency to get weaker.
 Fresh eggs are selling at 20 cents, while cold storage are being quoted at the low level of 15 cents. and there Is scarcely any demand for them even at that price. Frequent shipments keep the markets well filled up. and prices are expected to drop still lower than those which now prevail.

EMBASSIES TO BE
 OWNED OUTRIGHT

Washington, February S.-After a 10 years struggle, the House today passed a bill providing for the purchase and construction of American embassies legations and consular buildings abroad The measure was put through under a suspension of the rules by stand ing vote of Al to 39e the announce ment of the result by the speaker be- ing greeted by applause. The Senate, which. on several occasions. has adopt ed similar bills, is expected to ratify today's action of the house.
 Representative Louden of Illinois, au- thority for the bill, led the fight for it, seconded by Representative Long worth of Ohio. The opposition to the measure came from the democratic side, Representative Cullop of Indiana and Underwood of Alabama making the principal speeches. MT. Lowden said that every Secretary of State from Olney down had urged the adoption of such legislation.
 MT. Longworth said there were only two ways of broadening the scope of the American diplomatic corps, and talk ing it out of the realm of the million aire. One was to increase the salaries so as to enable a comparatively poor lildH tO i've Ol h SeStit Wllu HIS COL leagues, and the other was 10 pro- vide him with a suitable house in which to live.
 Failure to do one of these two things" Mr. Longworth said, "has de- veloped in this country an office hold ing aristocracy which is utterly repug- nant to a democratic form of govern ment--an aristocracy that depends not upon birth, but, upon the might Of money"
 MT. Longworth appealed especially to the democrats to support the bill, claiming that 1t had been indorsed by William Jennings Bryan and Samuel Gompers.
 Tt Is also strongly recommended by a rep1ibl lican of democratic tendencies using that word in it's broad sense- the President of the United States"
 Mr. Longworth continued:
 with homes provided for our am- bassadors and ministers abroad we will be in position to select for the of- fees men of learning. training and pa triotism, and not be restricted to men fitted solely by their pocketboo,<s."
 The bill limits the cost of buildings to s150,000
