Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans. January 2S.-Announce- ment was definitely made today that ocean freight rates had been reduced materially, naming a rate of $1.25 a hun dred to Liverpool with corresponding re- auctions to other trans-A Atlantic points in Spain, Portugal and Mediterranean points, also to Rotterdam, Antwerp and Italian ports.
 Higher cables and aggressive buying by large New York bull house mostly of May option caused cent advance in the New York market with values in New Orleans advancing the limit of $10 d bale from last nights final figures Offer ings were light and the pressure of liqui- dation so apparent the last couple of weeks was absent.
 Spot people reported that the south ab- solutely refused to meet the decline and were not offering any cotton. On the whole there is more leaning to the view that cotton has been sufficiently reduced to level to meet adjustment require< ments and belief spreading that the market has reached the turning stage for constructive activity,
 New York reported spots POD points up with middling at 2795c Dallas, Texas, advanced spot pr res from 25. 25c to 27 15c demands broadening /
 Atlanta reported advance in spots of 200 noints and other spot markets were firm.
 In the grains market today an influ- ence was the passage by the Senate of the s1G0, ,0O0, ,000 appropriation for food re- lief of distressed European countries. Feeders were bidding ? cents higher for cash corn than was paid yesterday The market closed at an advance of 21zq31ac c higher than the previous close. Provisions were strong with distant options showing advances ofGfrom asQ1sc per pound.
 United States Steel committee on divi- dend late today declared l per cent dividend on the common stock. Rails md industrials were steady at prices about yesterdays levels; Mercantile Ma rine preferred showing an advance of points.

CHANGE IN RATES SHOOTS UP COTTON General List Closed Strong at a Net Advance of 130 to 200 Points Over
 Monday
By Associated Press

 New York January 2S.-The easier ocean freight situation and expectations of an almost immediate increase in the exI ort movement appeared to overshadow continued reports of unsettled industrial ] conditions in the cotton market today. The general list closed strong at net ! advance of 1ao to POO points,
 While it was understood that the sharp cut announced yesterday in ocean freight | rates by the British and Washington au- thorities did not apply to raw cotton, | it was evidently the impression among l local traders that cut In cotton rates must soon follow. The market opened l firm at an advance of IS to B points in l consequence, the advance finding ad- ditional encoura cement in the firmness o1 Liverpool and the appearance of heavy l Liverpool buying orders around the local ring After the close abroad, the Liver pool buying tapered off and there were reactions of 20 to 20 points during the middle of the day followed by general buying on reports that the American shippingN board would reduce rates to s125 per hundred on cotton from South Atlantic ports.
 Near month shorts seemed to be par | ticularly nervous and prices shot up rap idly in the late trading with the move- ment in March contracts only checked l by the operation of the maximum fluctua- | ton ruling, while May sold at 22.S2c ana July at 22 15c closing within a few points of the best. Private cables attributed l the strength of Liverpool to the open | ing of the market there to orders rom neutral countries and the Liverpool buy ing here was supposed to be for undo l ing straddles on the expectation of mar rower differences.

ALL EYES ON STEEL DIRECTORS ACTION Market Guessing on What the Last Quarter >Divi-
 dend for 1918
 Would Be
RH AsSnsInfeh r,rr.

New York, January 2S-Trading in
 stocks today was largely influenced by
 United States Steel, whose directors
 were to meet after the markets close
 to approve the financial statement for
 the last quarter of 1918, and act on the
 common dividends.
 During the first half of the session
 United States Steel rose and fell within circumscribed limits, but moderate buying of that stock, as well as kin dred issues and rails, imparted a strong tone later, although steel for feited the best part of it's large frac- tional gain at the end.
 In keeping with general expecta- tions, the extra dividend on Steel was reduced from 3 to l per cent thus placing the stock nominally on a g per cent basis The quarterly statement, disclosing a surplus of barely s3.00o,- 900, is of itself sufficient explanation for the cut in the dividend. Other features of the stock ma<is ct embraced the belated inquiry for rails. notably St. Paul preferred, which held most of it's per cent rise, other grangers and the coalers advancing an average of point.
 Oils followed their usual cratic course, moderate improvement prevail ing at the close and independent steels also hardened. with affiliated equip ments. motors and Hide and Leath preferred.
 Shippings iabored under the handi- cap of additional reductions in ocean freight rates and tobacSos and sugars indicated pool selling.
 All classes of bonds ca sed slightly, including Liberty issues and interna- tionals. Sales, par value, aggregated | s9,775,0oo Old United States bonds were uncahnged on call. Final prices on Liberty Bonds today were: 31As, 99.14; first convertible is, 93.40; second As. 93.14: first convertible 4As, 95.50; second convertible 4Hs 9,.5S; third 4As, 05.44 fourth A s, 94.46.

Roger Bresnahan Blocks
 Adoption of Schedule
By Associated Press

Chicago, January 2S.-Refusal of Roger Bresnahan, owner of the Toledo club, to accept the date allotted him prevented adoption of the schedule for the coming season at a meeting of the American as- sociation club owners today. After an all-d day session the meeting was ad- journed tonight until tomorrow.
 The tentative schedule presented Tor adoption gave the Toledo club 2S success sive games at home at the start of the season and this was opposed by Bres- nahan John Savage, secretary of the Kansas City club. and A. F. Timme, owner of the Milwaukee team, will at tempt to make changes in the programme tomorrow so that it will be acceptable to Bresnahan.
 The proposed schedule called for 154 games with the western clubs opening the season in the eastern cities of the circuit.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York, January 2S.-Liverpool was better than due this morning, and our market was steady at the opening. with decidedly less selling in evidence rom the south. Private cables report ed a better tone from Manchester at the lower price, despite the lahor diff faculties at present existing in Great Britain. The market here improved steadily through the day. May crossing 22c in the late afternoon. It is gener- ally expected that the freight rates for cotton will be reduced following the reduction in other commodities an- nounced yesterday: in fact. there is rumor, as yet unconfirmed, that rates will be made of $1.25 from Atlantic ports with a differential of 25c flor the gulf ports. We expect that the recov
 cry may easily go further. and it Is to be hoped that advantage will be taken of the advance in the market to move some of the cotton held in the south. We expect a decided improvement in the export demand. but in view of the uncertainties surrounding business con-

Price on Hogs Remains
 Same Next Month

Washington, January 2S.-A minimum base price of sl750 a hundred pounds for hogs for the month of February, was
 unanimously agreed upon today by the hog committee meeting at the food ad-
 ministration.
 Flank S. Snyder head of the meat divi- sion of the food administration, recom-
 mended the maintenance of this price, which has been in effect since Novem- Der, and told the packers, producers and commission men present, that increased orders from the allies, neutrals and event ually enemy countries soon would turn 1 the present surplus of pork into a defi- | cit
 | The interallied food council in Paris, | he said, recommended that Germany and other enemy countries be allowed 10000 | tons of pork monthly. | Business with the allies will amount | to 225, ,OO0O GOO pounds of pork for the month ] of February, it was said, while 150,0 900 | pounds is ordered for neutrals and other
 relief. The balance will go to France
 and Italy. England is not now in the
 market for pork, and has 16 weeks sup | ply on hand.
 Orders from Switzerland are uncertain, Mr. Snyder said, as the situation there l is tangled.
