New Orleans. La, Feb. 17.-Cotton
futures opened steady at an advance
2 to 5 points. The market closed
steady at a net advance OF 3 to 8
points. There was no pressure on the
Irarket In the early trading and shorts
were inclined to even up over the
weekend. Indications were for I'M
settled weather for the cotton belt
over Sunday. This gave the market
added steadiness. The market was
quiet but had a very steady tone
throughout the entire session as shorts
took profits on rather a large scale
even when prices were advancing.
Many cable messages from England
spoke discouragingly Of the labor sit
uation and stated that a great coal
strike seemed inevitable unless the
government INTERVIEWED.

trace OF the heaViness which char
acterized yesterdays trading. Prices
were higher during most Of the half
days session, but changes were as
unimportant as on other days re-
Gently. There was not enough bust
ness today to preserve an appear
ance OF life. Less than 10000 shares
were dealt in, as compared with
nearly 100000 shares last Saturday.

methods. that the 1912 assessments had
been made to work a hardship on the
small home owner. Charles c. Rogers.
collector of taxes, and Alonzo Tweedale.
auditor for the District of Columbia. to-
day came to the defense OF Assessor
William p. Richards with signed state
ment explaining how the estimate of the
assessed valuation for 1912 was deter
mined.
Mr.. Browne. i'm an address before the
Piney Branch Citizens Association. call
ed attention to the fact that Assessor
Richards in his report for 1910 had pre-
dicted an increase in the assessed vaiua-
ton of $3O,OOOOOO, due to enhancement
of ground values. but that, when the
next assessment roll was made up this
amount dwindled to $1S,OOOOOO. The re-
mainder. or $12.OOO.0OO. had been applied
to small homes according to MIR. Browne.
Collector Rogers and Auditor Iweedale.
in their statement, call attention to the
fact that they assisted the assessor in
making the estimate referred to.
We hereby declare their statement
reads. that the estimate on realty taxes
submitted by the assessor was understood
by all to have no substantial basis on any
known and fixed value but that 1T was
merely based on the Judgment of the as
SCISSOR of the probable increase taken sec
ton by section over the District
When the final amount was known In
October, 1911, both the auditor and the
collector noted that a close approximation
had been made two years previous of the
tax revenues on real estate.
In addition to the statement issued by
Messrs. Rogers and Tweedale, Mr..
Richards today answered the eharge
made by Mr.. Browne at last nights
meeting that 4 certain lot near the Con-
necticut Avenue bridge had been sold by
Samuel T.. kalbfus. member of the board
of assistant assessors. for $1.4" per
square foot. and that the lot is assessed
at only 10 cents n foot when the assess
ment should be 90 cents foot.
According to Mr. Richards, the books
of his office show that the lot is assessed
at 81 per square foot.
