CONTINUED FAIR
SPOT DEMAND
Predicted February Commit
ments Will Prove Large
This Season

New York, February 2.--Some scatter
ing liquidation of March contracts served
to unsettle cotton today, and after an
early advance prices eased of. with the
close steady net point higher on SVp-
tember, but generally unchanged to 2
points lower. March held its premium
over May but part of the near month
selling seemed to come from leading trade
interests and evidently promoted liquda-
tion all along the line, though there ap-
peared to be no change in the general
character of the news. The New York re-
vision committee is scheduled to meet
after the close of business on Wednesday,
to Fix differences between grades as ap-
pied to deliveries on local contracts for
the remainder of the season, and uncer-
tainty in this respect may have been
partly responsible for Increased offerings
of the near months.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of to points and sold about 6 to
points net higher during the early trad
ing on the active old crop months Rela-
lively steady cables. bulls hovernisht
spot advices from the south and favor
able reports from the dry goods trade
probably helped this advance. Demand
failed to broaden however, and the mar
ket soon turned easier, closing within a
point of the lowest. Private cables re-
ported some continental buying of new
crop positions in Liverpool and said the
market was quiet but steady. Several pri-
vate wires were received from the south,
claiming a continued fair spot demand,
and predicting that February commit
ments will prove unusually large this
season.

LEAKE COUNTY MAY
YET HAVE RAILROAD
Engineers Surveying Route
Through Region Without
Transportation :

Jackson, Miss, February 2.-(Special.) }
Another party of engineers are reported
as engaged in surveying a route for a
railroad through Leake county, but Just
what railroad they represent Is not
stated. When last seen the surveyors
were between Union. Newton county, and
Carthage, the capital of Leake county,
and the supposition Is that the survey Is
for a continuation, or extension of the
newly constructed road between Meridian
and Union. where there is junction with
the New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago.
Leake county is the only county in Mis-
sissippi that has not railroad. and the
citizens generally must be almost per-
suaded they never are to get one.
Scores of surveys have been made
through the county during the past few
years. In fact. they have been made
of and on for the past half century. No
doubt old, gray-headed men are In Leake
today who, when barefoot boys, heard
their fathers talk about the Gulf and
Ship Island surveys through that sec
tion, and they have been hearing about
that OF some orher railroad survey ever
since. but SO far no railroad has been
built close enough to their county for
them to hear the engines whistle even
on a clear. frosty morning.
Leake IL naturally one Of the best coun-
ties in the state. Its lands are very pro-
ductive, and 1t has world of the finest
pine and hardwood timber in the state
yet untouched.

WHEAT IS F|RMER
THROUGHOUT DAY
Excited Bullish News From
Australia and Cold Wave
News Sends Grain Up

Chicago, February Gold wave pre-
dictions, coupled with absence of any
snow safeguard in Nebraska brought
wheat buyers to the front today. Large
ly in consequence the market had Il
strong finish at q q sc net advance.
Corn closed &c off to Is c up. oats the
same as Saturday night, and provisions
down~21f II q &c to 71ac.
Throughout the day wheat had a firm
tone. Besoes the chance of serious
damage to the Nebraska winter crop.
there was excited bullish news from
Australia, a sharp cut in the estimated
surplus yield. Falling off of country
elevator stocks throughout the Da-
kotas and Minnesota furnished supple
mentary strength during the last hour.
emphasizing the effect of a decrease in
the weekly total of the United States
visible supply
Prospects of a broader milling de-
mand We're reported from Minneapolis
where it was said that shipping direc-
tions for flour had been excellent
throughout January. According to one
authority, the way stocks had been
cleaned up left no doubt that the peo-
pie were still eating bread, cake ana
pie.
Profit taking by longs wiped out an
advance which corn had made as a re-
suit OF expected rough weather Tn
usual wariness was shown by specu-
lators, no matter TO which side of the
market they were inclined. The open
interest in the pit was not nearly as
large as a fortnight ago.
Action by the oats crowd seemed to
hinge altogether on corn. Trade was
light.
Despite an advance at the yards, pro-
visions eased off. Realizing by longs,
including packers was responsible.

ROCK ISLAND STOCKS
LOWEST IN HISTORY
Partial Recovery Later
Pressure Against Various
Investment Stocks

New York. February 2.-The extension
prevented today by a combination of
Pearish influences. The most disturbing
actor was renewed selling of Rick Island
Becurities which became acutely weak.
.ast weeks report that the company
would be reorganized was followed today
oy intimations that dividends might be
suspended on the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific stock. which is security for

Denial of this report lessened the vol
line of selling which for a time was of
unusually large proportions, but the
stocks reached the lowest prices in the
history of the company. The common

AZ. the collateral fours 25s to 4o15 ana
The refunding fours 2ia to 1854.
Partial recovery was effected later.
The effect on the general market of the
I1rop in these securities was heightened
by extensive selling her for European
account. London unloaded perhaps $4,000
shares principally Union Pacific, Cana
|lian Pacific and United States Steel and
|Amalgamated copper. Another unsettling
Feature was pressure against various in
|vestment stocks among which American
Canadian Pacific and New
York Central were conspicuous. Western
Union sold off in sympathy with Amer
bean telephone these shares being in
|huenced by the Postmaster Generals rec
in favor of government ac-
|quisition of the wire system.
December reports of the larger eastern
railroads were distinctly unfavorable.
New York Central showed a s3,os7, 900 de-
GREASE in net, which was largely respon-
|sible for the heaviness of the stock.
Pennsylvania operating income fell off
$703, 900. New Haven reported a deficit
for the month of $114,O00.
With nothing in the way of bullish
news 70 counteract these influences trad
Hers on the long side were unable to
bring. about a resumption of the upturn of
hast week.
The movement in general was not large,
but the undertone was heavy and before
the end of the session some of the popu-
lar stocks We're depressed one point or
more.

The buying of the early trading was
in response to the bullish attitude of

ton to reports of forward farm work

spring. Selling results which pared
down the advance. Bulls were not ag-
