New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans, March S.-Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance of to

coal strike had been settled. Gables
were slightly better than due and the
weather map was the worst yet posted
this week, indicating wet and cold
weather in the cotton region generally.
After the call, the trading months were

receipts Of cablegrams from Liverpool
stating that there was nothing official to

terday's close
Around the middle Of the morning
cable messages were received from one
of the best posted cotton men IN Eng
land advancing the opinion that the coal
strike would be settled within four days
The bear element d;d not agree with
this but 1t had some effect on values
and caused short selling to slacken. The
weather forecast also helped the market
as 1t called for rain, snow and freezing
weather in the cotton belt. Prices re-
covered slowly from the lowest levels OF
the morning and at noon were to

Amundsen. He has shown before that
he was a fine navigator and in earnest.
AS far as the comparative difficulties
OF the two poles is concerned, there
is no question in my mind that the at
tainment of the south pole was much
easier than the north. Europe has
looked upon the south pole as her own
field of exploration. 1t was agreed at
the international conference of 1905
that the north pole should be left to
the Americans.
THE most important thing is that
the dashes and races are over and
hereafter explorers will go out seri-
ously to discover the facts of the
earth. In time the map will be without
any unknown land"
Anthony Fiala, secretary Of the Elk
plorers' club and commander of north
pole expedition in 1903-1905, said:
"Amundsen won. 1t is likely Scott,
too. may have reached the goal. If so,
he was probably a week or two later
than Amundsen. Scott could hardly
fail in his attempt, for he was equipped
as no other party that ever penetrated
polar regions"
Prof Henry Fairfield Osborn, head
OF the American Museum of Natural
History, which has contributed to the
equipment of several American polar
expeditions, said that his study of the

RICE GROWERS HEARD
REGARDING LOWER RATES
BY Associated Press.

Washington, March S.-Rtce grow
ers of Texas and Louisiana, who seek
lower freight rates from the rice fields,
were heard today by the interstate
commerce commission.
Samuel H. Cowan. for the Mutual
Rice Trade and Development Company
of Houston, and c. c. Oden, traffic
manager for the Houston chamber of
commerce, argued that the rates on
rice south of the Ohio and west Of the
Mississippi were discriminatory in ia
vor of New Orleans and also that the
rates to Pacific coast points, which
are the same from New Orleans and
Houston, should be lower from Hous-
ton.
Representatives Of the New Orleans
board Of trade and of the Rice Grow
ers' Association declared that there
was no discrimination in favor of New
Orleans and asked for lower rates on
rough rice than on clean rice.
Beaumont Texas, representatives
claimed that the railroads had carried
out the recent interstate commerce
commission decision that Beaumont
was entitled to a three cent lower rate
to eastern and northern points than
Houston, only by raising the Houston
and other point rates In proportion, In
stead Of reducing any rates.
Representatives Of the railroads con-
cerned argued that the existing rates
were neither unjust nor discrimtna-

Confirmation OF Captain Road
Amundsen's attainment of the south
pole on December IA. 1911, received to-
day from the explorer himself at Ho-
bart, Tasmania, sets at rest the con-
ficting reports current on the subject
yesterday.
A dispatch published by the Daily
Express in London yesterday morning,
dated Wellington, New Zealand, de-
CARED that Amundsen had stated that
Stott had reached the south pole. 1t
was assumed that this declaration in
Dictated that Amundsen himself had
not succeeded in attaining the object
of his expedition, and credit was gem
orally given to the British explorer.
Nothing has hitherto been heard
from Captain Scott and Amundsen
now denies that he said or telegraphed
anything relative to his brother rival
or his expedition.
The honor for the achievement of
reaching the south pole must now be
given to the Norwegian explorer until
Captain Scott announces the result of
his expedition.
Captain Amundsen has for many
years been considered one of the most
daring and competent of arctic and
antarctic explorers. A sailor from his
youth. he started polar research at the
age of % when he participated in the
Belgioa antarctic expedition under the
command of Gerlach. He was first
officer of the vessel, and the voyage
lasted from 1897 to 1899.
On his return he made up his mind
10 continue polar research, but this
time he decided to go to the north to
discover the northwest passage. He
IHepared himself for the task by I'M
dergoing a course of two years study
in magnetism and meteorlogy Then
he sailed for the north from Christiana
on board the Gjoa with a crew OF only
eight men, on June Is, 1903. Proceed
ing TO Lancaster Sound, he sailed past
Cape Adelaide land King William
Land and Ross strait. For maay
months Amundsen drifted along and
finally on August 26 met an American
whaler to the east of Cape Bathurst.
He ultimately brought his little vessel
through the Boring strait and thus for
the first time accomplished the north
west passage. During the voyage he
determined exactly the position of the
magnetic pole. Altogether he was
three years away from Norway.
The Fran, which Captain Amundsen
selected for his latest expedition, has
been used for many years in arctic
exploration. From 1898 to 1895, during
the expedition of DIR. Fridtjof Nansen
she covered a journey of about 1000
miles in the Arctic ocean. 5000 miles
of this being accomplished while she
was frozen solid in the ice. She was
not damaged during this voyage.
Captain Amundsen left Buenos Ayres
on his presetn trip toward the close of
1910 with a small party of Norwegians
all of them experienced in arctic work
He took with him large pack of III
berian dogs and his men were all pro-
Nided with skis for traversing the
glacier ice. Captain Amundsens party
made its base and winter quarters
eighty miles nearer the south pole than
his British rival
Nothing was heard from the expedi-
ton for many months until the arrival
OF the Fran was reported two DAYS
