LARGEST COTTON
 CROP ON RECORD

The Department of Aericul- ture estimates the 1914 cotton crop at 15, 1869, 900 bales. This is the largest production in the history of the cotton industry. The 1911 crop held the record to the present year, with a produc- ton of 15, 690, 701 bales. It is esti- mated that there is at least two million bales Tn the field, much of it deserted by discouraged farm CTS and which will probably never be gathered.
 The 1914 crop also ranks among the largest in production per acre averaging POS pounds per acre and reaches the low water mark in price. The price officially estl- mated for the 1914 crop is 6 cents per pound agalnst an average price of 12 cents per pound in 1913 and a production of 182 pounds per acre.

FOREST NOTES

Only one modern sawmill is operated in the territory of Ha- vail.
 In district 4 of the forest ser vice, with headquarters at Ogden, Utah, lightning caused 36 per cent of this years fires and camp CTS 27 per cent.
 AS showing the possibilities for tree growth in regions where ir- rigation has to be depended upon. it is pointed out that Boise, Idaho has as many as 94 different kinds of ornamental and shade trees.
 A small railroad operating an oil-burning locomotive in the Ta- hoe national forest. California, had breakdown during the past summer and burned wood instead of oil for one day. On this day fifteen fires started along the right of way. During the pre- cedlng year, only one fire occurr- ed near the railroad and it was not thought that the engine was responsible for that one.

Receipts here to-day are 10000 head, and killing grades are selling about steady, with a shade of weakness, stockers and feeders strong and active. No highly finished killing steers are here. the best bringing $8.75 to- day, but strictly prime steers might sell around $1O.25, and best heavy COWS bring SIPS. Quarantine prices have not been fully tested recently, some fair meal fed steers weighing 1926 lbs. selling at $7 to-day, and other lighter steers at S6. 40 and $6.7 70. Stockers and feeders meet a good demand, and are apt to get further advances in the next few weeks. Iowa bought some cattle this week. practically the first in six weeks, but Illinois and other quarantlned states have not bought any since the first of No vember. As the quarantlnes are raised the demand will increase. Kansas has laid in a larger num- Der of cattle thls fall than in any recent year. While some of these cattle are ready to move to mar ket wherever prices are attrac- tive. there will not be any over supply at any time this winter. Feeders are selling at SIPS to $8. stockers $6.75 to S8. a few cattle on either side of these Quo- tations. Lambs have advanced half a dollar in the last week, in- a gain of 15 to 25 cents today, and sheep are 25 higher than a week ago. Receipts are moderate, 4200 here today, and will continue light.

Jack Zeller has given up hopes of
staging Eastern association baseball in
Pittsfeld this season. All three were
with the Elect1ics last season, and al
though Zeller has already declared he
had released Bridges and would not
take back Hilly, who belonged to the
Philadelphia Nationals, Pittsfield fans,
nevertheless, think they are the straws
showing which way the wind is blow
ing. Maroney didn't last the season
out with the Electrics, so he could
hardly be counted upon as a regular.
The going of Bridges means the
passing of one of the Eastern associa-
ton characters. He was a great ia
vorite with the fans because of his
peppery disposition, and as he had
played with many teams in the circuit,
including Norwich, Northampton, Mer-
lden and Pittsfeld. He has been with
the Electrics for two seasons and Sc

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
BETHLEHEM STEEL FEATURE.
With Maximum Rise of 20 112 Points
and Net Gain of II IA

New York, April STANDARDIZATION in
the common shares of the Bethlehem
Steel company, long a feature of the
stock market, reached its climax to-
day in a succession of violent move
ments which carried the shares UP to
1T from it's opening price of SO ga.
The early rise was orderly but sure,
the new high price Of Sc "a being
recorded before midday and par soon
after.
In the early afternoon it rose to 10s,
where proft-taking sent the price
back to par and from which figure
1t slowly renewed its progress up to
105. In the final half hour the stock
became furiously active, rising in lots
of 100 to 200 shares and with jumps
denly it declined to 105. recovered to
10 and closed at los. Its maximum
rise was 20 IL points and it's net
gain II IL. Transactions in Bethle-
hem Steel aggregated $4,000 shares
or about IL per cent. of the whole.
Reasons for the phenomenal move
ment were lacking in official Quarters,
but traders were of the opinion that
it was made possible by the opposf-
ton Of short interest. which has
persistently fought the advance, and
which gathered further courage on the
failure of the directors to put the
stock on a dividend basis. Bethlehem
Steel preferred also was active and
strong for a time. but lost most of
its gain.
Standard shares, which had shown
irregularity for the greater part of
the session. became unsettled while
the movement in Bethlehem Steel was
under way and closed with general
net losses. these. however, being most
ly nominal. General Motors was
strongest of the automobile stocks,

led the fertilizer group with an ad-
vance Of six points.

ing.
the managership with active playing
are illustrated by two men-Charley
Doom and Joe Tinker. Doom, when
he was made manager Of the Phillies,
was regarded as one Of the very best
backstops in the big leagues. He
tend to both jobs. and the experts be-
gan to say that "a good catcher had
been turned into mediocre mana
ger" It matters not what sort OF
boss Charley was; the fact remains
that in the final games of the 1914
season, when he knew that he was rid
of the worries of directing the team
Doom went behind the bat, and, in
the words of Pat Moran and others
who saw it. mo better exhibition of
catching ever has been seem" Judg-
ing from the reports from the Cincin-
natl camp, Charley Is proving that he
still is first class maskmen when he
does not have to combine that LABOR,
with the plotting of the machine.
Joe Tinker, several years ago. was
rated as one of the best all-round
shortstops the game had known. But
he went to Cincinnati to boss the Reds
and lost his cunning. Last season, as
manager of the Chicago Feds, he took
post and since has admitted that
man cannot do two things and do them
both we'll.
On the other hand, is it not strange
that the first choice in many circles
for the American League pennant in
1915 should be the Boston Red Sox,
directed by Bill Carrigan, a playing
manager? And in the National Lea
que, St. Louis with Second Baseman
Miller Higgins at the helm, and Chi
cago, led by Roger Bresnahan catcher,
are by no means relegated to the rear
end of the procession by the experts.
In fact, Cincinnati, with Shotstop
Charley Herzog in charge, is expected
to raise some fuss.
But the fact still remains that In
recent years the bench manager has
been most successful, and soon the
playing boss will be thing Of the past,
unless we are greatly mistaken.
