COTTON OPENED AND CLOSED AT ADVANCE
Sentiment Nervous and Un- settled-Private Wires
 From South Bullish

New York, February 21.-The COL ton market was still less active to- day and while an opening advance was followed by rather a sharp reaction the market frmed up again with the close very steady at net advance or D to 10 points. Sentiment appeared 10 pc nervous and unsettled owing to uncer- tainty over the British labor situation and the disturbing influence of the ire at Houston, which, according to nui- letin destroyed between 50,o00 and 6o,- 0oo bales of cotton in addition to much other property
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 2 to points and during the first few minutes sold to 14 points net higher owing to better cables than expected by yesterdays late sellers, re- ports of bad weather in the south ana rumors concerning the Houston Ire There seemed to be good deal or cotton for sale on the advance Of about 36 to 45 points from the recent low levels and the market during the mio- dle of the morning eased off from the best with grading very quiet. New or leans. however. suddenly developed weakness and sent selling orders here and the market shortly after midday became rather moro active with prices breaking sharply under liquidation by early buyers who were evidently disap- pointed that the destruction of cotton by fire both in Houston and Bombay had not inspired more covering or hedges or more aggressive bull sup port. At net loss of about points on old crop months there was re- newal of support from trade interests but the market later developed a de . cidedly frmer tone on covering for over the holiday. Closing prices were with in 3 or 1 points of the best. Cable ad- vices indicated that about 30,000 bales of cotton were destroyed in the Bom- bay fire and 1t Is naturally supposed that both the cotton burned abroad and that destroyed at Houston will be taken out of the worlds visible supply statement as soon as exact figures are obtainable. Private wires from the south were generally bu1lish. complain ing of increasingly backward crop prep aration and reporting firm interior holders.

CORN LED IN ALL PRINCIPAL STAPLES Storm Clogged Railway Facilities Chiefly
 Responsible

Chicago, February 2.--Corn today led an advance in all the principal staples on the board of trade. storm clogged railway facilities were chiefly responsible. Latest trading left corn with gain of ssc to 9s@Ac wheat up Ac to ssc, oats varying from the same as yesterday to 4c higher and hog products at Dc to ,15e increase in cost.
 Snow whirling necessarily in full view of every speculator on the floor. with the tickers telling of 100000 bushels of corn on track here, held back the traders aud offered explanation of the sentiment in favor of a strong upward turn in the price of corn.
 The big charts on the bulletin boards in addition showed that the storm extend ed for hundreds of miles throughout the producing belt, retarding switching by railroads. and with below zero weather in Nebraska and in the northwest. This was interpreted to mean a necessity for unusual feeding to farm animals. and im- piled also a check to country marketing.
 Commission houses found themselves burdened with orders apparently to buy and it was with difficulty that shorts could cover. From start to finish no im- portant reaction occurred and the close was steady at the top figures of the ses- sion.
 During the session May ranged from 6714c to CSC, with last sales ssG34c net higher at 677sQ6sc. Besides being influ- enced by the corn bulge wheat received strength from northwest current advices that rural receipts at last were begin ming to dwindle. The help from the snow blanket to the winter crop further south was regarded as having been taken into accountability yesterday. but 1t acted somewhat as bearish element, narrow ing the results of sympathy at the firm ness displayed in coarse grain.
 There was pronounced weakness at Paris, due to increasing supplies through out France. Corn gave the market a steady tone at the wind up. Between the opening and the final gong May fuc- tuated down, closing hc net higher at s1as1ls.
 Sellers were scarce in the oats crowd. Prices followed corn. Upper and lower levels reached by May were 52ssM5215c and 52@511sc. with the close Ac up at 52Ssc
 Packers bought provisions deeming con ditions especially as to the grain appar- enty suspicious for a lift all round. Pork was up 10c to 15c in the end but other articles did not go over 1oc in their ad- vance.

BEETLES ATTACK
 VALUABLE TREES

Auburn, February Especial ing the danger to Alabama's timber from the deadly pine beetle, bulletin has been issued by Dr. w. D. Hinds, entomologist to the Auburn experiment station, and state entomologist
 Tt is a well known fact that pine trees of various species are dying in increas- ing numbers in Alabama" according to the bulletin. This dying occurs usually in groups of trees and has caused much alarm among owners of timber. Obser- vation reveals the fact that the primary cause or the dying of the pines is the work Of very small beetles which attack the living trees. Further as soon as the attack of one of the destructive beetles causes weakened or dying condition of a tree, such a tree becomes at once the breeding place of many other species of bark beetles and bark and wood boring grubs which cannot attack healthy trees"
 The beetle is described by Dr. Hinds as a small, cylindrical, brownlsh to black beetle, varying in length from about one tenth to one-sixth of an inch, very small in proportion to it's deadly effect, but none the less deadly. The beetles evident " fly late in the evening, and at night '"es aic dttr acted to liSntS, and are Ire quently found in great numbers around electric lights. As usual thing. the beetles attack first the middle and upper portions of medium sized tree, often ap- bearing to select the largest and best trees first. The work occurs so far from the ground that one must depend for recogni- ton Of 1t upon some of its secondary ef- fleets upon the trees
 Fading foliage. red boring aust at base Of trees. mipI1fa WIita are signs of the presence of the beetles The location and marking of dying trees during the months of November, Decem- Der, January and February, the destruc- ton of the broods of beetle by burning the bark and in various utilization of the timber are, In general, the methods for control which are advised

STEEL SHOWED
 LESS RESISTANCE Stock Market Under Pres sure Greater Part of
 Yesterday

New York, February 2t.-The stock mar ket was under pressure the greater part of todays session. The business, while II uch irl excess of the previous day, was in moderate volume and much activity as was shown was largely at the ex- pense of quoted values Some of the days events. adduced as causes contributing to the decline, included the speech of Colonel Rooseeylt on the recall in Presi- dent Taft's home state the destructive fire at Houston, Tex. and the rather pes slnistic views attributed to the head of a prominent coal carrying road.
 The latter probably was the most po- tent factor and it's significance was re- fected. in the extreme heaviness of Read ing. Dealings in Reading comprised about 40 per cent of the total sales, the stock scoring a net loss of ga points. Steel showed less resistance than has been it's wont recently. but held well above it's low price of fortnight ago Selling of this stock was doubtless induced by reports issued from trade auarterss none of which offered much encouragement for the im- mediate future of the industry. Hartman stocks were sold by the professional ele- ment to the accompanyment of rumors that earnings of Union Pacific and South ern Pacific for January, soon to be pub lshed are likely to prove disappointing, while the Hill issues probably declined in sympathy with the general movement. Here and there in the group of special ties were momentary advances. with un- important declines, but the market as d whole bore the familiar preholiday as pect.
 London was again a borrower of call money in this market. paying as much as 3A per cent, national corrollary of the higher discounts at home. As a matter of fact, the loans made today really carry over until next Tuesday to meet the re- qurements of the settlement.
 That the business If the equipman. companies leaves much to be desired was shown in the annual statement of the Pressed Steel company. whose net profits in 1911 fell off almost sl,000,0Oo, with a surplus over preferred dividends of slen- der proportions, while the New York Air Brake company reported an increase in deficit for 1911 of S55,OO0, and explained the failure of the directorate to take ac- ton on the dividend.
 The bond market was relatively steady, save for weakness in Missouri Pacific. Total sales, par value, S2,l10,000.

 Quotations on hens strengthened con siderably during the days business, the increase due largely to a scarcity of stock. There was also scarcity of turkeys, but no change was affected in quotations. Eggs remain at 25 cents dozen.
