PRICE CHANGES
CAUSED BY RUMORS
Tone on Opening Steady;
Prices Unchanged to 2
Points Down

New orleans, February 25.--The princi-
pal price changes in the cotton market to-
cay We're caused by rumors regarding
legislation to control future trading by
Congress. In the morning prices were held
down by the fear that this legislation was
atcut to be advanced, but In the after
noon the market took a quick upward
spurt on the report that the bill had been
blocked. outside of this it was much of
weather market, with a favorable
weather map, so far as conditions of yes
terday We're concerned, while the fore
cast was just the reverse, as it predicted
unsettled and rainy weather for every
state in the cotton region.
on the opening the tone was steady and
prices were unchanged to 2 points down.
At the lowest in the early trading the
faost active months were points down.
After the call bulls were inclined to IN
oIease their commitments on the fore
cast of bad weather, but were restrained
By Washington news. During the morn
ing the market worked up to a net ad-
vance of about points, but this did not
hold well and at noonprlceswere only TO
3 points up. In the afternoon there was
n quick squirt to a level IA to rs points
over Yesterdays last quotations, the mar
ket closing at a net advance of IL to Is
points
During the greater part of the day the
ring was quiet and trading was confined
ia professionals News from spot CEN
ters did not help either side in the con-
tract market as prices We're generally
unchanged.

COTTON PRICES
SHOW STRENGTH
Close Firm From IL TO
p Points Net
Higher

New York, February 25--rhe cotton
market was somewhat more active today
and prices showed considerable strength
on reports of an improved spot demand
and a more optimistic view of political
conditions in Europe and Mexico The
close was firm and from 1S to % points
net higher.
The market opened steady at decline
of 2 points on March, which was in
fluenced by scattering liquidatlon but
generally l point higher in response %
steady Liverpool cables. a good demand
for March developed right after the call,
part of which seemed to originate from
undoing of old straddles between that
month and May, and this helped to
steady up the entire list. Foreign buy
ing was again a factor constituting |
large part of the early demand and scat
tered local selling. based on expectations
that this support would be withdrawn
after the close of Liverpool. held the ad-
vance in check during the early trading.
The demand did slacken after arbitrage
business had been shut out by the close
abroad, but offerings seemed to taper
off at about the same time and after
comparatively quiet middle session, the
market showed increased firmness on
covering of shorts, who seemed to be-
come more nervous as prices worked
higher. Trading in the last hour was
probably more active than at any time
previously for over a week and closing
prices were at practically the best of the
day. Private cables from Liverpool at
tributed the advance there to continen-
tai buying and better hopes OF a settle
ment in the near east. March was rela-
lively firm after the irregular opening
in contrast with its weakness of yes
terday and led the afternoon advance.

MORRIS AVENUE
TRADE is ACTIVE
Few Changes i'm Prices, But
the Volume of Trade
Excellent

cne OF the best business rushes expert
enced by the wholesale men on Morris
avenue appears to be under way. The
ccol weather of the past two days is held
mainly responsible.
There are few changes being noted in
quotations, but the volume of trade is ex-
cellent. Fresh shipments of fruits and
vegetables are coming in steadily and
1uyers have been keeping them very we'll
cleared up. Receipts in all lines are am
pie with the exception of fish, some deal
ers in the finny tribe stating yesterday
that the shortage almost amounted to a
famine and would do so in the near fu-
ture unless receipts today or early tomor-
row were large enough to relieve the sit
uation. Hens were quoted a cent lower
yesterday than the day before.

A decided better undertone prevails to-
night and although the trade here still
oppose any advance they are by no
means confident
The market has every indication of be-

centrated speculative short interests
especially Waldorf and Wall street,
where affect securities market is felt.

permanent injury to the optics has
been sustained. Too often also IS IL
the case that people neglect proper

Parents are especially often neg

thus to grow up inefficient for the
ACCOMPLISHMENT of the highest
achievements in the mission of life.
Much of the crimes against the eye

CRIMES AGAINST THE EYE

quires much hard study of an acute,
susceptible mind to master. But a
mastery OF these laws must be
made by every optician before he
can enter intelligently upon his
work. and in addition to his ac-
qnired knowledge of this abstruSe
science, he must be provided with
the necessary instruments and ap-

thalmology and optometry has
called forth and provided, before he
can do perfect work.
How important it is then that
those with imperfect vision. or hav

exercise both wisdom and discretion

minister to their affliction, lest
some crime of irreparable nature

NEW LOW PRICES
RECORDED IN STEEL
Market Rallies After Anoth-
er Bear Drive Forced
Quotations Down

New York, February 25.-After another
bear drive had forced quotations of many
stocks to new low points for the long
decline, the market rallied today.
Speculative conditions were little
changed.
The market was still uncertain and at
times decidedly unsettled
New low prices were recorded for Tn
Ion Pacific, Amalgamated Copper, United
States Steel, Erie, Atchison the Hill
stocks and a long list of less important
issues. Activity on the short side was
confined principally to the first hour
of trading Tho market showed little
life while the recovery was in progress.
Selling Of inactive stocks continued,
losses running up to five points. On the
rev factor, one of genuine interest, at
tention was focused on the railroad COM
mission. There the Southern Pacific
granted to the Central Pacific its use OF
tracks and terminal facilities the same
privilege many holding should be ex-
tended to other competing lines. In the
opinion of the heads of the Hartman
lines this ruling, il Sustained, would in
terfere seriously with the proposed disso-
luton plan and might even cause its
failure
There was some selling of Union Pa
citic when the significance of this con-
solidated action became known and the
price fell under 153 The marked effect
however. was upon Southern Pacific,
which was bought on the theory that the
company would be benefited by upsettlng
of the dissolution plan. Southern Pa
eific became the strongest of the leading
issues, rising more than one point above
last nights close. Weakness of the cop
per group rehected/a further decline in
the metal market. London quoted lower
prices, and in the domestic market sales
of refined metal for future delivery were
reported at under 10 cents. The recent
heaviness in bonds in sympathy with
stocks, was not relieved today, quota
tions making further progress down.
