seems too bad that the authorities
will persist in disturbing us from
our peaceful pursuits. We have
been in Jail four times already and
if they keep it up it will soon be like
home to us. Guess we must be too
autocratic and they want to get us
out of the way in order that Amer
lea might be "made safe for Democ-
racy." We know, dear reader, that
you are sick and tired of hearing
that term, but it is the only string
the jing oes have on their fiddle and
we want to help them fiddle it so
that it will wear out.

HOUSING STILL A PROBLEM

Members OF the District Council OF
Defense, which is directing temporarily
the task of housing the hundreds be-
ing brought here to do war work Tor
the government, denied today that resi-
dents of the District are taking ad-
vantage Of the need for quarters to
charge exorbitant prices for rooms.
While II was admitted that certain
persons are profteering by subletting
apartments at soaring prices, William
II. Baldwin. chairman of the District
council, said he has received only
few complaints of unreasonable prices
asked for rooms.
Members of the council said nothing
definite had been done as far as they
knew to carry out the suggestion That
the Secf etary OF War take over large
buildings for housing purposes. Just
he has taken over big structures to
provide working quarters.

Work of the Local Division.

The local division of the women's
committee of the Council Of National
Defense, headed by Mrs. Archibald
Hopkins, is providing for about 100
young women in the five boarding
houses which it has opened in the past
two weeks. Mrs. Hopkins committee
expects to open many more houses in
the coming months.
An official of the Civil Service Com
mission said today that newspapers
throughout the country were hamper
ing the commission in it's task of re-
cruiting the hundreds of clerks needed
in Washington by printing exaggerat-
ed stories of exorbitant prices being
charged for rooms here.
result of this was shown by a
letter received today by the District
Council of Defense from a women's
Organization in Cleveland, Ohio, which
stated that the club would endeavor
to recruit 100 stenographers to work
for the government in Washington if
the council would guarantee proper
living quarters. for them here.
Mr.. Baldwin is endeavoring to carry
out the request.

May Not Be Necessary.

Every effort Will be made, Mr.. Bald-

resorting to such course. There are
however and offers of rooms from
private families are not being received
by the council at its Office in room 602.

pected.
The lack of offers prompted Mr.. Bald
win to renew his appeal today that
every housekeeper should consider 1t her
duty to rent any vacant rooms in her
home during the war.
1t was estimated today that during
the past six months the Y. Af. c. A.
alone found quarters for 10000 men
and the Y. w. {. A. performed similar
service for about 5000 women. These
organizations are cooperating with the
District Council of Defense pending
efforts to secure from the Council of

NEW ZEALAND

Indications are that crops in South
Island will fall 20 to 25 per cent short
Of normal, and even more than that on
the Canterbury Plains around Christ
church, where the precipitation during
September-December (the growing sea-
son here) amounted 10 less than 3
inches. The acreage sown TO wheat and
oats was much below that of last year,
hence the yield cannot be expected to
exceed 20 TO IS per cent of the 1876
harvest, which amounted to 7,070,814
bushels Of wheat and 7,As9,749 bushels
Of oats. Pasturage, too, is scsnty, and
on the whole the outlook in South ISL
and is not promising.
North Island has had almost too
much rain, but crops promise at least a
normal yield. Further, pasturage is
abundant, thus insuring large butter
and cheese output for this section.
which is the best dairy country in Aus
tralasia. This will also mean that sheep
and cattle from North Island will be in
splendid condition for export.

INDIA

The first official forecast Of the area
sown TO wheat for the 1857 season,
based on reports received from prov
inces and native states comprising $50
per cent of the total wheat acreage In
India, places the area under this grain
at SO, s24 900 acres, as against 2S,585,OOO
acres a year ago, an increase OF ga per
cent "The Indian Government Trade
. Journal" points out, however, that, as
. these figures represent the area sown
. only up to the beginning Of December,
they do not include all the tracts that
4. will ultimately be put under wheat,
since sowings continue after that date.
The present condition Of the crop is

COTTON DEMAND
FALTERS ON RISE
Selling to Realize Profits
Causes Market to Be
come Unsettled

Cotton became unsettled after fur
Their moderate gains on the early trad
ing yesterday in consequence OF sell
ing to realize profits made possible by
the advance of the day before. Losses
of1to 7 points were recorded on the
final transactions.
Relatively firm cables, reports OF an
improved demand for some lines OF
cotton goods, further complaints of de-
layed new crop preparations and bullish
overnight spot advices were the factors
Sghich tended TO elevate prices at the
outset. Liverpool was one Of the chief
buyers during the first hour. After
the close abroad this demand was with
drawn and the market turned easier in
the absence of fresh buying from the
outset.
Somewhat misleading reports as TO
the action Of the American Line with
reference 70 the cargo of the st. Louis
led to a furry of liquidation late III
the morning, which sent active months
10 TO IL points net lower. The cor
rected version Of this affair soon stead
led the market, however, and closing
prices showed rallies of 10 or 10 points
from the lowest on covering by early
sellers.
Reports from London that the sub
ject of restricted imports would be
taken up in Parliament on Thursday
may possibly have prompted some OF
the early selling. There was no GER
tainty, however, that could be men.
toned in this announcement and mail
advices recently received from Liver
pool have said that Manchester still
needed considerable cotton out OF tins
crop. The recent ruling of the Liver
pool market has suggested more or
less nervousness about securing sup
plies, owing to an apprehension that
the British government might use bot
toms for other purposes. Next FRIDAY
will be the first March notice day with
considerable uncertainty felt as to the
extent of tenders, and local brokers
were inclined TO consider the bulk OF
yesteray's business as evening-up Tor
over the holiday and the notices eX-
pected toward the end of the week.
Exports for the day were 1886 bales,
making 3,974,155 so far this season.
Southern spot markets were generally
unchanged.
