 WAS VERY NARROW
Southern Spot Holders Bull ish, With No Fear Shown
 About Holdings

New York, February H.-The cotton market was quiet today with fluctuations correspondingiy narrow and irregular. The report of the census bureau on sup ply and distribution for January made a bullish impression on sentiment, and there were bullish southern spot advices, but these features served to restrict selling rather than to promote much fresh buying for long account. and sentiment around the ring was evidently divided. After selling at 29 40c May contracts ral- lied to 20 .6ec and closed at 9. 4Sc with the general list closing steady, net points lower to 6 points higher.
 Opening at. an advance of to points the market ieased off shortly after the call on the opinion of some of the local map readers that there were prospects for light rains in the southwest. March eased off to a29.95c and July to 2s 66c, or about to points net lower, but the official western belt forecast was for fair and colder weather. This was dis appointment to early sellers. and the mar ket stiffened up during the middle of the morning, with buyers encouraged by reports that electricity driven mills in the Carolinas would be permitted to work overtime in order to catch up on government orders. There may also have been little buying on the revival of peace talk. on which March sold up to 3c. .OSc and July to 29.12c, or to IS points net higher.

GOVERNMENT MAY BUILD COKE OVENS Will Require About 400 Tons at the New Muscle
 Shoals Plant
pv HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, February 14.-(Special) While much that is published in news papers from the pens of correspond Tuscumbia is somewhat exaggerated for instance. that item to the effect that actual work had begun on the construction of the Muscle Shoals dam lit Is true that indications point to a continuation of the era of fine &C., quisition which has for sometime been the portion of that section of Ala bama.
 It is known that the government is now considering the construction of batteries of coke ovens in the environ of Muscle Shoals. It Is believed that the government has about concluded to undertake this project. It would cause little surprise were the an- nouncement to be made in the near future.
 For its own use in connection with it's various enterprises in north Ala bama, the government will require about 400 tons of coke daily. In addi- tion to the coke, the by-products are essential. The government cannot ob- tain necessary coke and by-products without taking them from some other institution which may be, itself, in ac- tual need. The solution of the problem is obviously the construction by the government of it's own batteries-es- pecially, as by this means, necessaries can be acquired cheaper than other wise.
 The government. it is reliably re- ported, has adopted the above solution, and is preparing to put it into effect.

New nrleans Cotton

New Orleans, February l4.-Price changes in cotton were narrow here today. the market making only small responses to the features the session developed The bulls claimed the bear side was handicapped by the short interest which has resulted from re- cent selling and buying of consequence was prevented by small consumption ir this country and expectations of bearish weekend statistics
 Around the opening the market was 2 to 10 points up from which there was a fall to a decline of points on the easiest months. New buying entered the market and lifted values 12 to 16 points over the closing level of yesterday. Later in the session there was another sag which carried March, the weakest month, to a net loss of II points. october at it's low est was still 4 points over the close of yesterday. Last prices were 1 points off to 6 points up, net.
 The census figures showing con- sumption during January in this country of 4,000 bales of cotton against 601, 1881 the same month last year. were generally called very bear isl. but their effect appeared to have been discounted by recent declines. British shipping losses last week of 13 vessels of over 1900 tons, were also prospects of continued dry weather in Texas were the chief encouragment to tIyers in the early part of the day,

THINGS TILTED
 UPWARD IN GRAIN
Everybody Wanted Corn and Oats and It Was Hard
 to Check Advance

Chicago, February 14-Readinesa with which offerings were absorbed gave an upward tilt today to the corn market. Prices closed steady. March, s1.27h and May, s1.257s to s1.26. with the final range as whole. lsc off to | O sc up, compared with 24 hours before. Oats gained K 917sc net. Tn provisions, the outcome varied from 5c decline to a rise of 17c.
 It took selling orders on a large scale to check advances in corn. Among the chief reasons assigned for this condition was the fact that re- ceipts although liberal. were not near ly so large as on the preceding day. The supply of choice grades. espe- cially. did not equal the demand. Be- sides. a further Improvement was noted in traffic conditions east of Chicago, with freight being accepted freely on all roads but two. Through out the session. the view seemed to prevail that under present conditions, tho accumulation of any large stock here or at other leading centers, could not be regarded as likely.
 Highest prices of the session were made in oats. Buyng on the part of big houses with export connections, kept prices on the upgrade from the outset.

 PLAY WITH RAILS
Gains of 1 to 4 Points Were Made in a Score or More
 Railroads

New York, February 14.-Railroad shares lifted today's dull market out of its early rut, the first half of the session refiecting considerable price irregularity, notably in industrials equipments and specialties.
 The movement in rails was stimu- lated by the relatively favorable De- cember statements of the Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific roads, both showing net gains and the re- -estab- lishment of Union Pacific to it's former 10 per cent dividend rate. General news Of the day was seem ingly without effect, suspension of fu-. ture heatless Mondays having been discounted. The governments proposals s to control all coastwise shipping ana acquire terminal facilities at Atlantie ports were equally without influence as market factors.
 Extreme gains in almost score or transportation issues extended from l to 4 points, St. Paul common and pre- ferred and other grangers as well as coalers sharing honors with Pacifics. Canadian Pacific was the only lag gard though recording much of it's loss at the end.
 Other features of pronounced strength included Atlantic Gulf, Su- matra Tobacco and General Electric, but these were neutralized by the heaviness of the motor division, oils, Industrial Alcohol and Peoples Gas.
 United States Steel yielded point under pressure of the forenoon, but closed at fractional advance with allied equipments.

A renewal of peace talk helped to steady the early afternoon market, although Boston advices said that the heatless days might be con tinued in the New England states. Ac- tive months were worked about to 19 points net higher with July selling at 29.12, but the bulk of the bulges met enough scattered selling to cause slight irregularity.

It looks to me like everybody has cen tered on eggs. It's the only table staple that has dropped in price recently. A farmer who lives few miles out re- marked to me yesterday:
 "All winter we have been feeding high priced hen feed trying to get few eggs. With the break of spring the hens are doing better, but all the powers that be have set to work to lower prices to point where the farmer cannot get profit out of his hens. Experts figure that it costs Si.5o a year to feed and care for a hen at present feed rates. tryman clear living profit when prices are forced under Soc?
 The average hen will lay 15o eggs a year, or about F dozen. At 50 cents a dozen this means about s6 per hen (al- lowing, of course, thar everything runs smoothly. If cold storage eggs were held at Goo until all were consumed, why can't we small poultrymen get & reas- enable year round price? No wonder all the big poultry farms are located in the north, east and west, where an average of 50c & dozen for strictly fresh eggs is guaranteed the year through.
 Right now the government Is preach ing more poultry Whats the use rais- ing stuff at a loss? If we can't get 50c a dozen for eggs there's no use keeping poultry"
 And I want to say that this farmer knows the game well. My wife and my self have raised about 12,000 chickens the last eight years and if fresh eggs, at the present prices of feed, are not worth Soc dozen. then the poultryman had better sell his hens at S5c pound (the retail price) and quit.
 Some new vegetables have appeared, including few turnips and cabbage. Fish are still scarce.
 All feedstuff remains unchanged and rather hard to get, according to dealers. Corrected quotations are as follows:

New York, February 1.-The market here today was very strong. Mems wear markets were active. Large government orders for cotton goods were announced, one being for 100000 yards of surgical bandage cloths offered to Fall River mills at Il cents a pound. This price is 20 cents a pound under the market price for similar goods. Several million yards of drills, dealrns. and wide sheetings have been purchased.
