Iowa OWNERS of second hand motor
cars to find out Immediately whether
their engine numbers are the ones

or others substituted later by enter
prising auto thieves.
There is a strong chance OF much

caution.
For H. NJ. Havner. attorney general.
announced today he Is going out after
the Iowa auto thief, armed with the
authority Of the law passed by the
last general assembly which states
bluntly and without qualification that
any man who owns motor car upon
which the engine number is defaced is
guilty of-a felony.
Calls Meeting Of Shsriffs.
1t Is certain that there are in Iowa
numerous purchasers Of second hand
cars who do not dream that they own
loot. The machine perhaps was stol-
en-, the numbers changed to defy
Identification. and sold to second
hand auto shop.
Mr.. Havner viii call a statewide
meeting Of sheriffs, to he held early in
August, at which he will inaugurate
his campaign. His announced inten-
ton Is to go after the auto thief with
the same vigor he has DISPLAYED in
hunting down bootleggers and cleaning
up cities morals generally.
Three States TO Cooperate.
Peace officials Of South Dakota and
Nebraska are expected to cooperate
in the campaign, which will be aimed
principally at the organized gang Of
thieves now said to be operating in
western Iowa, with Council Bluffs and
Sioux City as headquarters.
Last Saturday" said the attorney
general. six machines were stolen in
Iowa a very efficient auto thief gang
was broken up In that territory last
year and ten men were arrested. A
new gang has grown up again which
seems to be as efficient as the old.
Il attended a meeting Of Nebraska
sheriffs at Lincoln recently, which
passed resolutions asking the governor
to urge the passage at special ses-
sion Of the Nebraska legislature of
law exactly duplicating Iowa's new
auto thief law. When we get statutes
In surrounding states similar to the
one in force here, the auto thief will
find it very difficult to escape"

Over McReynOlds & Julian's Wire

New Orleans February 1S-The ab- sorbing power of market appears better in the future department, attributed to trade buying, resulting in scarcity of con- tracts. occasionally, which at times seems to be significant. The results of the recent revisions in low grades in the interior are reflected in the disappear- ance of much of the big discounts in futures compared with spot values, and it is probable that differences will mar row further As yet however, there has been no marked improvement in the spot demand in the south, which the market is in need of so much, but this development, long past due. may come to the surface nexpectedly.
 Locally spots are reported to be ruling firm, if anything higher to buy and advices from Dallas, Tex, today are to the effect that brisk demand for spots is developing there. Indications are that the cotton states acreage reduction con- vention in session here will advocate the holding of old crop cotton for higher prices, and for cut in this years acreage of one-third, exacting written pledges. Those if any not living up to their agree ment are to be classed as "slackers" and so looked upon.
 To offset this organization proposals were made for subsidiary states, parish county, ward and local organizations whose business it will be to see to it that the pledges are carried out. An item of interest to the trade is the request of Chairman Hurley for an additional 500,- 900 tons of American ships to be released from any to commercial purposes, with the object of relieving the congestion of freight at the ports. Another important bit of news is that private advices tend to confirm recent rumors that the French government is to permit imports of cot ton 100 bales monthly Nav to Sen tember. Compared with last seasons exports from all ports to Europe today --s-e 12.Oo0, against 5000 Since Friday. 74.- coo, against 8. 900. Thus far this season, 2,SS4,OO0, compared with 2,S47,OOO

HOG PRICE RUMORS MADE bEAR|SH PIT Staple Went Off 3-4 to 2 3-Sc While Oats Were In
 Sympathy

Chicago February 1S.-Reports that
 minimum average prices on hogs would
 probably not be continued after March
 l had a decided bearish effect today on corn. The market closed unsettled, s4
 to 27s net lower with May sl.2ess to $1. 2O7s
 and July s1.174 to s1.171s Oats finished
 unchanged to Ac down and provisions varying from 60c decline to soc advance. Throughout the day the interest of corn
 trade focused on current gossip that it was the intention to let the hog market take care of itself when the agreement as to the February minimum price ex- pired. The general impression was glut in the hog market supply had been for
 the most part disposed of. A majority of grain dealers, however. appeared to believe that for at least the time being the price of hogs would fall sharply once the minimum was removed and that ce- reals would follow. Conflicting later re- ports as to the outlook for continuance of the hog price minimum led to rallies but not of lasting sort
 Oats were steadied by the lightness of receipts.
 Provisions, like corn, gave way as a result of the talk about stoppage of agreed minimum hog prices.

COTTON MAKES FLOP ID THE BEAR CROWD
General List Closed Weak At a Net Decline of 90
 To IA Points
By Associated Press

New York. February 1S.--An early ad- vance was followed by a very sharp break in the cotton market today. The general list closed weak at a net de- cline of 90 to IA points.
 Trading was comparatively quiet on the early bulge. The opening was 15 points higher to points lower with near months relatively firm on the cables and buying of March by houses with Liverpool con- nections. Fluctuations were irregula right after the call, but realizing was well taken and the market sold up on aggressive support from some of the local bulls and continued covering. 4darch advanced to 24c and July to 22.5oc. mak- ing new high ground for the moment and gains of about g to % points over last nights closing. This made recov- cry of approximately cents per pound from the low level of last week, which seemed to attract good deal of profit taking.
 The appearance of supporting orders prevented anything more than moderate reactions during the middle of the day but the selling became more active and general following reports that the de- mand for a 4S-hour week was causing labor troubles in some of the southern mills. March broke to 22.70c and July 10 20.S0c in the late trading, or 100 to IA points net lower. While sentiment was unsettled by the reports of labor trou- bles in the south the break was more generally attributed to an easier techni- cal. position after the recent rapid ad- vance
 There were private cables from Barce- Iona claiming all the Spanish mills were running on short time and that shipments of cotton to Spain were already in ex- cess of requirements.

American Cotton and Grain Exchange
New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February 1S.-In the early trading in cotton today higher prices were realized but in the afternoon heavy selling developed and the close was barely steady at net loss for the session of 30 to 100 points. Much liquidation of long cotton came out as the market declined but there was also heavy short selling inspired. according to market comment, by reports of fresh labor troubles among Georgia mills. The decline in contracts came about in the face of rise of 50 points in spot quotations. which ad- vanced middling to 27.25c. March, at it's lowest, traded at 2415c.
 The early advance was due to the rains in Texas and to the forecast of rains for the western belt generally. There were also reports of better spo, demand. The improvement persisted un- til the active months were A to 31 points up Around the middle of the morning an unsettled tone developed and from then on the bear element had the advantage.
 Exports for the day were 11,7S1 bales against 9429 this day last year and it was stated that shippers had taken up all the March cotton room offered, making it certain that the export movement would continue in excess of the movement of last year but spot and export news had little influence.

SLUGGISH TRADING :. ON STOCK EXCHANGE After a Slight Gain, U. s. Steel Makes a Drop of
 One Point
By Associated Press

New York, February 1S.-Uncertainty and irregularity of prices marked the sluggish trading on the stock exchange today, the session reflecting none of the previous days public interest. activity or breadth.
 Motors and some of the minor or unim- portant specialties comprised the firm to strong issues and oils were again variably depressed on profit taking and bearish pressure. The net result represented lit tie more than the conflicting views of cliqueS and pools.
 Almost the sole hopeful feature was the relative strength of rails, buying of that group at intervals including most of the representative in the granger transconti- mental and coal divisions at 1G11s point gains
 Rails were almost the only shares to re- tain a fair proportion of their advance in the selling movement of the last hour, which virtually effaced General Motors extreme rise of points and effected mod crate unsettlement elsewhere United States Steel closed at a loss of virtually a point after having made slight gain, other steels and equipments reacted l to points, with Marine pre- ferred, and Mexican Petroleum's further reversal extended to other oils. Early gains of 1 to points in local fractions were held and popular tobaccos closed at irregular advances.
 Recent mixed conditions in the bond market continued, speculative rails show ing further heaviness, while local trac-
 ton issues responded to the strength of allied shares.
 Liberty bonds steadied, but information al war issues lacked feature. Total sales, par value, aggregated $1o,S75,O00 Old United States coupon As gained ss per cent on sale
 Final prices on Liberty bonds today were: 31zs, 9S.74: first convertible As, 92S0; second As, 92.54; first convertible 4As, 94.90; second convertible 44s, SASS; third 4As, 951S; fourth 411s, 93.S0.

Hubbard Bros, Letter

New York, February 1S.-(Special 1.-The
 same concentrated buying as recently. together with a scattered demand from Liverpool, advanced the market to new high prices shortly after the opening this morning. On the advance there was selling from the south and heavy re- alizing, so that the market first eased off and then broke sharply on rather nasty speculative liquidation. The purely speculative short interest having largely covered in the recent sharp advances, a substantial reaction was not surprising. Meantime further revision of grade diff ferences is reported from both Augusta and Savannah, thereby further enhanc- ing the value of the New York contract. We expect an improvement in the de- mand for export on further recession.
