WILSON'S POLICY BRINGS JOY TO
ISLAND PEOPLE.
New Governor Harrison is Attain
ing to Unprecedented Popularity
Among fhe Natives.

Manuel L. Quezon, resident com
missioner from the Philippines N
congress. returned Monday from
Manila with the declaration that
since the q announcement of President
Wilson'S Philippine policy the Fill
pinios are more friendly towards the
Americans than they ever were and
that tney now look to the United
States govSrnment as we'll as to its
representatives N the Philippines as
their real @nefactors. Mr.. Quezon
went to he: Philippines with Gov
ernor Geheal Harrison.
"Gov. ;Hfrison had been in the
PHILIPPINES fully two months before
I left thessland," said Mr.. Quezon
"and duriJ that time his popularity
has increa ID and the affairs of the
country. bota political and economic
have BEEN growing better.
"The pXicy OF President Wilson as
outlined i his message delivered to
the E'iIipEo people by Gov. Harri-
son has MT with the enthusiastic ap-
proval OF the people, especially the
step giving the natives control OF
both brarches Of the Philippine leg
islature. No wholesale removal nor
any political appointment OF Ameri-
can officials has been made. The
few charges among the chiefs OF
bureaus lave been made in further
ance of the policy of the present
administration in the islands. The
'Filipiniation' of the service has
been promised to the Filipinos by
the former administration and Gov
Harrison is just redeeming that
pledge. The civil service regulations
enacted ~ the former. administration
are being strictly adhered to.
'The effect of the new policy on
business has been good One imme-
6iate benefit had been the improve
ment of the relations between Fill
pinos ard Americans SO that now
there is cooperation among them not
only in governmental affairs but in
business also. Gov. Harrison has
already gained the love of the Fill
pino people and. he is received in
every Place with enthusiasm such as
no othec human being ever enjoyed
before. Acting upon his recommen-
daticns the Philippine legislature
has introduced administrative
changes which have resulted in the
saving of several million pesos Ia

COTTON OFF UNDER
 SCATTERED SELLING
Closing Prices Steady But p Points Net Lower
 on April

New York, April 9.-Cotton seed eased off today under scattered selling sup posed to be largely. in the way of holi- day realizing 0 With prospects pointing to improved weather conditions, there appeared to be little fresh buying on the eve of the three-day adjournment Closing prices were steady but 20 points net lower on April, and from to B points below yesterdays figures on the more active months.
 There has been little business in April contracts, violent fluctuations in that po- sition are considered of small signiii- canoe.
 There was a good deal of reactionary talk around the ring at the start. Cables were shade lower thas due and local traders appeared to expect trailing liqui- dation after such a pronounced advance as the market has experienced in the last three or four weeks. First prices were 22 points lower on April and from p to points lower on later deliveries which showed a net loss of to points shortly after the call. Offerings how ever, were pretty well taken on this de- cline and recent leading buyers again semed to be supporting the market. This checked the selling movement and rallies of to points followed but the market weakened again in the afternoon, when realizing became more general and closed at the lowest point of the day.
 July contracts sold at 12.3sc in the late trading or IA points under the high level of Wednesday. Ideas as to the effect of the prevailing conditions on the coming crop semed to vary quite widely around the ring, some claiming that replantine would be necessary in the southwest, and that delayed farm work would mean an unfavorable late start with the crop. Others however. contend that there is still plenty of time for planting

BELIEVED WHEAT
 HAS ESCAPED FREEZE
Market After Decided Ad- vance Closes Weak
 Is to 1-4c Off

Chicago. April 9-Increasing belief that wheat had escaped damage from the freezing weather tended today to dis lodge bullish control of the market. Aft CT decided advance, prices closed weak. lsdi4c off to lsc up compared with last night. Other speculative articles all showed net decline-corn asc, oats la4s4c and provisions 21Sdl77sc.
 Selling pressure developed in the wheat pit as soon as the fact became evident that talk of possible damage by cold did not have any backing in the way of com plaints from the regions thought to be affected. Besides, holders evineed a dis position to liquidate rather than to chance uncertainties during the holiday tomor- row.
 Reports Of killing frosts at many places, especially in Kansas and Oklahoma, were chiefly responsible for wheat prices bug- ing until the final hour. Some tempo rary strength came also from higher prices at Liverpool and from the remark able decrease in shipments credited to Argentina. India and Australia.
 Corn tumbled late in the day, influenced largely by disproof that Argentine ship ments necessarily containeu weevil. Sam pies Of the Soutn Amerlcah grain, WHICH were shown in the pit. had no trace of in- fection Furthermore, New York con- firmed fresh offers from Argentina at still lower prices. Most of the session, however. specuators were in a bull'sh mood and inclined to urge that not enough corn to make much difference could pos sibly reach Chicago from South America before June.
 Oats weakened ahead of the other a1e ph ta n a from Canada burdened the market.

New Orleans, April s.-The price of cot tor was held below the level of yester- days close throughout the session to- day in the face of one of the most bull fish weather maps ever posted at this time of the year.

MARKET UNEVEN; HEAVY UNDERTONE Principal Movements Were Among Industrials and
 Railroads

New York, April 9-The principal movements in the stock market today were among the industries and weaker railroad shares, a number of which de- clined sharply. The market as a whole was uneven. with a heavy undcrtone. Sentiment was bearish and the inclination of professional traders to take the short side ultimately brought the list to a lower level despite occasional rallies.
 Pressure converted in steel. in which a large proportion of the days business was transacted. This stock was thrown over in lots of 1000 to 2500 shares Traders regarded steel as a particularly good short sale today on account of the gen. eral belief that the March tonnage figures tomorrow will reveal shrinkage of 30O,- 900 tons or more in unified orders Re- ports of further price cuts and possible wage reductions intensified bearish sentl- ment Shares of independent companies as well as United States Steel were lower.
 Foreign selling started the market downward. Europe sold Canadian Pacific, Steel and Kansas and Texas. Canadian Pacific sagged to 19S1@, the lowest in sew eral years. Kansas and Texas was un- loaded by Dutch holders, who feared a reduction of the dividend on preferred. For eight months earnings on this stock have been at the rate of only 2.1o per cent It was forced down more than 4 points.
 oil shares weakened in sympathy with the decline on the curb in stocks of the Standard Oil group. Both Rumely issues made new low records, the preferred los ing points.
