New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, March 21.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at decline of to points Cables were about as expected. Bears were encouraged to sell short by the weather map. which reflected dry weather from nearly all sections of the belt.
 Some snow and some rain were noted in Texas The precipitation was not heavy enough to cause much worry, especially as fair weather was the feature of the forecast.
 The market was dull in the opening trades. At the end of the first half hour prices were to 1 points under yesterdays close.
 The list was dull and its undertone rather easier throughout the early session. Little support was offered. Had the short side been more aggress sive the market would have crumpled. Crop reports were decidedly better and much cotton was reported planted in scores of Texas areas that were gem

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York March 2l,-(Special. )-The market was slow and narrow with lower tendency on liquidation and lack of sup port, but with some resistance at the close. A waiting attitude Is the feature, with good supply of any temporary i'm provement Manchester advices are good.
 The weather dominates the market, and the good about offsets the bad. Some short covering is to be noted But the buying Is small and readily met, trad ing is mainly local.
 There are fewer complaints of the crop prospects and advices from the southwest are specially favorable.

much harm there as 1t would stand
ing. If the stalk seems too hard and
ripe, add water. Most OF the filling
machines are provided with a con
venIence which makes 1t possible to
turn a small stream of water into the
blower. The fans thoroughly mix this
water with the fodder. A better DUAL.
fly of ensifage will be obtained II
this process is followed when the corn
10 too ripe.
In this section the most common
practice Ia to have n man with
three horses on a corr harvester cut
ting corn, two men to load the wag-
ons three or four men with teams (de-
pending on the distance from the field
TO the Bilo) to haul the corn to the
cutter. One man to run the engine
when steam Ia used for power, and
occasionally when gasoline engine is
used, one man to feed the cutter and
one man In the silo to spread and
tramp the silage. Each teamster
pitches off his own load. This makes
a crew of eight or nine men, exclusive
of the man who tends the engine,
Where there is a shortage Of teams
the following method Is generally
practiced: One man with three horses
cuts the corn; two men load the wag.
one, two men or boys haul the corn
to the cutter, one nan feeds, and n
man works In the silo. AS sOon as a
load arrives at the cutter the team
ster changes his team to an empty
wagon and goes to the field after an
other load. When a wagon is unload.
ed 1t Is run out OF the way by hand.
With this method boys who are not
strong enough to handle the green
O can be utilized to drive the
teams. This method requires a crew
Of six men and two boys exclusive Of
the engine tender.
When horses r available and help
Is scarce, one man with three horses
runs the harvester, four men with
teams haul the corn to silo, one man
feeds and n spreads the corn in
the silo. Low trucks or wagons with
racks suspended below the axles
should be used, 80 that the teamster
can put on their loads. This requires
q crew OF seven men besides the en-
gineer.
The cost OF labor varies consider.
ably. In order to compare the differ.
ent methods a uniform rate Of 15
cents an hour was made for men and
the same for a team Of two horses.
Engine hire was at S. a day, which
include the engineer. This may be
too high In the case Of gasoline en-
gines, as they do not require atten-
ton all the time. Irvine costs 10
cents a pound, coal So a ton; and
