March Shorts Cover,
Option Held Steady
Cotton Sentiment Remains Bearish
and Rallies Bring Free Offer
ines-Spot Men Sell.

NEW YORK, Feb. buying Of
March by commission and wire houses
was the chief feature of the cotton mar
ket at the opening to-day However,
first prices were 3 to points lower
than Fridays close, but this was bet
ter than had been expected in the face
OF the Liverpool cables, which were
weak. Shorts took advantage of the
low levels and covered, This, however
failed TO stimulate prices to any extent,
and the best the market could do was to
hold steady for a brief breathing spell
Then the list responded to general sell
ing, led by some brokers closely identi-
fed with spot interests, On the break
May touched Ills and July 1885. but
March displayed rather firm under
tone, declining only points from the
opening
The buying of March was conservative
and confined principally to covering of
short lines by professional traders.
At the close the market was steady,
with prices at a net decline of to )
points from the final quotations of Fri
day
Estimated cotton receipts:

Senator Kenyon.


He stated that railroads are circu-
lating literature in New England
against Government ownership, and
inquired what the sturdy New Eng
land character" would think of this
campaign, in view of the revelations
regarding New Haven arrangements.
This sturdy New England charac-
ter will wonder" said Senator Ken
yon, why Congress sits around with
bills before 1t that would correct these
things and allow them to sleep the
sleep in committees which knows no
awakening"
Debate Is Heated.
The temper displayed in the debate
indicated that Speyer e. Co. may have
some difficulty in retaining the navy
fiscal connection. Senator Norris. be-
fore offering his amendment said that
there was many millions of money
which vanished into thin air and
which had not been accounted for in
the New Haven operations. Senator
Newlands dismissed the question Of
the investigation possibly granting
immunity to offenders by stating he
had conferred with Attorney General
McReynolds who had declared that
offenses in connection with the New
Haven finances come under State laws
and must be passed Dy state oIlclais.
THE intertia of local officials has
somtimes compelled the Federal
Government to enlarge its powers,
said Senator Newlands, but l feel
sure that the local authorities will
take care of the criminal proseca-
tons"

and Immediately confirmed. Previ-
Gus to this Speyer & Co, which is

Gated in New York City, had been

Lodge and Senator Kenyon
CiteS Frisco Bonds.
Senator Henyon called attention to
circular letter Issued by Speyer &,
Co. explaining their connection with
the Rotation of Frisco securities.
Senator Kenyon said the letter lex
planned but did not excuse" A hot
attack upon those responsible for
placing Frisco securities abroad, es-
pecially in France, when the road was
on the verge of bankruptcy, was made
by Senator Lodge
The result Of that was to give A
worse blow TO merican securities than
we nave ever received before" said
Mr. Lodge 1T should be known
what methods were employed in
placing this loan, which Injured the
good name of the United States and
American securities abroad"
senator Lodges remarks had spe-
clal reference to the sale Of $4,000 900
OF Frisco bonds by Speyer & Co. in
Faris within three months of the re-
celVership Of the Frisco Railroad.

TO CACHE SUGAR
BEET GROWERS

On account of the large crop OF
sugar beets this season, many beets
will have to be stored in sheds and
piles for months before they are work
ed up in the factory, and in order
for these beets to keep, they must be
stored away In n proper manner.
They must be properly topped, or
when they get warm in the pile they
commence to grow and this takes the
sugar out of the beets; they should
be free from frost, leaves and dirt
to keep good. Some farmers deliver
them in proper way, they plow out
as many as they can top in the same
day, clean off a placefor their piles
so there are no rocks, clods or leaves
and then when they load their beots
they shake the dirt of as they load
them into the wagons, topping them
well and II more are dug than they
can haul, they cover them up with
leaves; then they can haul them
when they get ready. So far these
farmers are living up to their cen
tract.
Others will pillow out a lot OF beets
poorly top them, throw them In p!ies
on leaves clods and rocks, and leave
them uncovered to freeze. Then they
load them into their wagons Loets
frozen. with clods, leaves or rocks
never shaking any dirt off as they
load them and try to get as much
trash as possible. These men as a
rule are the ones who talk the most
against the sugar company
In the beet contract signed by the
farmers, Is the 70 lowing:
The farmer agrees to cultivate
harvest and deliver his beets in, q
husband like manner, to the satlstac'
ton of the Sugar Company and the
Field Superintendent, to protect the
beets from frost and sun during har
yesting and delivery
In another place 1t reads:
"Beets that are improperly topped
diseased, frozen or damaged etc. vii
not be received, The Sugar Com
| pany reserves the right to reject any
wagon loads containing an; undesir
able beets as herein before descrio
ed" ~ .-. y. III.
Farmers who do not top their beet
properly will lose 26 or SO cents pc
