An Effective Protest

From the Indana Da1Iy Times.
 A woman in the suburbs was consider ably annoyed to find her neighbours fowls continuously overrunning her garden and playing havoc with the geraniums.
 "Go round to the next door, Jane," she said to the maid servant. land point out to Mrs. - that her fowls bother us a good deal, and ask if she'll kindly try to keep them at home.''
 The girl returned with satisfied look on her face. T don't fancy we shall ave 'em around ere again in a 'urry, ma'am, she replied.
 'I hope you were polite. Jane,' re- marked her mistress.
 "Oh, yes, ma am" came the reply, '''Misses' respects, sez, an if your fowls ain't kep' at 'ome you won't be gettin so many eggs of a mornin', and we shall be eatin poultry.''

SHORT INTERESTS
 WERE ENCOURAGED
Stock Market Failed to Re- spond to Steel Corpora
 ton Statement

New York, January S1.--The stock market did not make favorable re- sponse today to the remarkable .fnan- cial statement of the United States Steel corporation, issued after the close of yesterdays session, and this encouraged the short interest to ex- tend recent operations.
 The moderate extra dividend de- clared by the steel directors was com mended in conservative quarters, al- though it was generally felt that the enormous earnings warranted mod crate distribution.
 Consideration of testimony brought out at the '1eak' investigation was in quarters considered one of the days deterrent factors. The opinion ex. pressed by one of the witnesses re- specting peace negotiations and their effect upon domestic conditions ex- cited considerable interest among the speculative element.
 Steel vaciilated throughout, opening With a gain which soon was forfeited making full recovery at midday and falling back again in the last hour when the entire list, ooppers except ed, was at lowest levels. Steel's final quotation of 112 represented a net loss of a point
 Bethlehem Steel issues were mus uslly active and weak, the old stock making an extreme decline of 27 points to 395. with a loss of 7A for the new shares, the rights" thereto losing 4 points.
 Other heavy stocks included General Motors, which registered gross loss of points, with IA for Atlantic and Gulf and West Indies. Popular indus trials, petroleums, marines, sugars and equipments lost 1 to 2 points.
 Rails were under moderate but per- sistent pressure. Metals, notably Utah Copper, which was 5A points higher at its best. were the only strong fea- lures, although closing prices were made on a moderate rally. Total sales amounted to 745,000 shares.
 I.ires at the new low record of 7.30 furnished the only noteworthy fea- ture of the foreign exchange market.
 Bonds were heavy on further sell ing of the international group. Total sales, par value, aggregated $4,- 24O.0o
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

lSet later took on a firm tone and held it until the close:
 Reports of an increased demand for actual cotton, higher bids and firm ness of holders came In from both eastern and western portions of the belt. while the local spot market was higher by an eighth of cent and brokers said the demand showed dis tinct improvement. A feature of the spot news was the report that cotton mills in the belt had been forced to buy cotton in northern markets be- cause of the high prices demanded by southern holders
 Tn the early trading prices fell off to 10 points under poor cables, but this was quickly recovered and at the end of the first half hour of business the active months were 1 to points above yesterdays close. From this level the market rose strongly, the highest prices being reached late in the day when the active months were 30 to S2 points up net. The close was 2S to 30 up.

SHARP ADVANCES
 IN COTTON MARKET
Bullish Spot Advices and Peace Talk Caused Rise
 in General List

New York, January 31.-Bullish spot
 advices and more optimistic talk of peace
 prospects were considered responsible for better demand and rather a sharp
 advance in the cotton market here today.
 May contracts sold up from 17S5c to 17.ssc,
 and closed at 17.esc, with the general list closing firm at a net gain of 9 to 28 points.
 The market opened steady at a decline of 4 to points in response to slightly
 disappointing cables, but very soon turned
 steadier. Weakness in the stock market was opposed to reflect expectations of some fresh move in the way of peace negotiations, and there was some Wall street buying of cotton as well as mod
 crate demand from spot house brokers bulges appeared to meet scattering liquid- ation and some local pressure, but only slight reactions occurred, and the mar ket became rather more active during the afternoon. March sold up from 17.17c to 17.4sc, and July from 17.SSc to 17S3c in the late trading, or about 21 to 29 points above last nights closing figures Last prices were within or 3 points Of the best, and represented an advance of about S2 per bale from the low level of Monday. It was reported during the day that g. small lot of cotton had been sold out of the local stock for shipment to @ southern mill, and that local houses had received inquiries regarding the cost of shipping cotton from here to North and South Carolina. These rumors were accompanied by reports of an improved spot demand in the south and there was some buying here by southern spot in terests which was supposed to be undo ing hedges against sales to fill out end- January commitments There has been some scattered selling on the advance in expectations that spot demand would subside after the turn of the month, but generally speaking offerings were | light during the entire day.

MORRIS AVENUE

Morris avenue reports show poultry sales rather slow, and it is expected that both eggs and poultry will further de- cline by the last of the week. If the predicted cold weather lasts long enough it may cause egg prices to firm up again, as hens on the farms will drop off in egg production on each cold snap. All meats were unchanged. Hams, both regular and skinned, advanced cent. Cotton took small rise, good middling going to 1Tssc.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, January S1.-Suggestions of a possible new peace move by President Wilson did good deal today to make wheat prices decline. The market closed heavy, 1%d4Ssc net lower, with May at s1.71ik to N71A. and July at $1. 4estd1 4e5s. Corn finished %Q%c down, oats off Ac to 1ssc and provisions at losses ranging from 2h to 60c.
 Right from the outset the wheat mar ket had downward slant. Traders were giving special attention to Wash ington reports that the Berlin govern ment would reply to President Wilson's peace address and that there were chances the reply would furnish the basis for fresh action by the President. Be- sides dispatches were at hand intimating that the German and Austrian diplo- matic representatives at Washington would announce willingness of the Teu- tonic powers to formulate peace terms if asked to do so by the entente allies. Knowledge that the German chancellor was about to make an important speech in the Reichstag tended also to center in- terest on the peace outlook
 Lowest prices came just before the close and after news had been received that the Swiss minister at Washington had been seeking an engagement with Presi- dent Wilson to discuss peace. Through out the session, the bulls were handi- capped further by indications of the presence of German sea rovers in the north Atlantic. About the only offset for the bears was the fear that crop damage woud result from the cold wave despite snow which over much of the winter wheat belt had preceded the frigid weather.
 Corn weakened with wheat. Bullish ef- fects of cold wave predictions failed to be felt except for a brief time at the start. Oats gave way to the depressing influ- ence of the weakness of other cereals. Railway congestion east of Chicago jn- terfered with shippers
 Highest prices on hogs since the civil war gave only temporary lift to pro- visions. The weakness of grain brought about later material decline.
