Weekly Cotton Review
By A,.nniatsd Pr...


 New York, April 9-The two Actors considered responsible for the activity and strength of cotton futures here during the past week. have been the continued firmness of the spot markets in the south, and increasing nervousness over new crop prospects All positions have made new high records with trade shorts active buyers of May and July to cover hedges, while there has been broadening speculative demand for new crop positions.
 Also there was more active buying Of the early new crop positions as a hedge against manufacturing requirements. May contracts hold as high as 4l.75c to- ward the end of the week compa~sd with middling quotations of around 40 50 to 4f.50c in some of the eastern belt spot markets, and the uneasiness of shorts spread to July which advanced to S9,67 or nearly 10c per pound above the low level of February 1.
 Some advices were received here claim ing that lower grades could be bought on a tenderable basis with May in the eastern belt markets, but little or noth- ing has been heard of actual shipments in this direction. and the nervousness of shorts has been increased by the rail- road and port labor troubles which might interfere with deliveries. Quite scare over the pink boil weevil men.

ace was developed early in the week by reports that the department of agri- culture would take decided measures to prevent it's spread, and that prohibition of planting in the infested areas was considered advisable, It was soon pointed out, however, that the areas in- fested did not produce more than S5,- 600 bales in any one of the last three years and the apprehension over the coming crop was due chiefly to un- favorable weather conditions. Accord ing to the weekly report of the weather bureau it will be necessary to reFAnt considerable cotton in the southwest owing to low temperatures. while rains in the eastern and central sections of the belt have caused further delays in farm work. The effect on new crop months was reflected in the advance to 8 95 for October but at this level there was increased realizing owing to pros poets for improving weather conditions over Sunday and the unsettled railroad labor situation.

FOREST TRAILS AND ROADS TO
 GET s75,000
Foresters Will Spend Large Sum Making Trails to Tracts
 of Suitable Pulp Timber
PULP MILLS ASSURED
Bureau and Manufacturers Agree on Terms and Pa
 per Making to Start

Seventy-five thousand dollars will be spent on trails and roads within the National forests of Alaska this year, mostly in the Tongass Ma tional Forest of Southeastern Alas ka, under the direction of Superin- tendent C.. H. Flory. This has been allowed to Superintendent Flory through the Department, and com prises accumulations of the ten per cent of the receipts of the forests that are supposed to be expended on trails and roads in the forests, for their benefit, and additional funds that have been placed at the dis posal of MT. Flory.
 Most of this money will be used for building trails and roads to the tracts where the timber is suitable for making pulp and paper. It is expected by the Bureau of Fisheries that there will be an ac- tual start made on the development of a paper and pulp business in Alaska this year.
 Agree on Terms of Pulp Contracts
 The Forestry Bureau and the experts in the employ of the paper manufacturers who have been en- deavoring to come to terms regard ing the sale of timber for pulp and paper making have about agreed on a basis that will result in the es- tablishment of one or more paper concerns in Alaska" said MT. Flory, who is at the Gastineau Hotel. Tt is not thought that further legisla- tion will be required. The plan contemplates the sale of not less than two billion feet of lumber to each applicant on agreed terms and to give him twenty-five or thirty years in which to use it.
 Half Dozen Applicants
 MT. Flory says the Forestry Bu- reau has a half dozen or more ap- plications for timber and water pow CT from responsible people who are engaged in the paper manufactur- ing business, and he expects activi- ties to begin this year.
 The trail and road building in the National Forests in Alaska this year will be in charge of R. L. Cline, who will soon arrive from the South to begin the work.
 While the receipts from the Na- tional forests in Alaska last year were $125,000, it is expected that within a very short time they will reach half million or more annual ly.
