New Orleans, February 4.-lrregutaf prices and nervous and rather narrow fluctuations accompanied the trading Ill cotton today. The market moved eaNiy either way, but the news of the session vas not strong enough to cause sus- tained price movements, so that on use clcse the list stood points up to "a
 points down, compared with the nnal quotations of last week.
 Around the opening prices were 10 1e points down as the result of the break of about Sc in sterling exchange and ta~~
 of higher money rates, both in this coon-
 try and in England. From the lnltlai decline the market recovered and went 4 to 90 points higher than last week close on the wet weather in the central ard eastern sections of the belt the tore- cast of continued wet weather east of the Mississippi river and of colder weather west of the river.
 Fresh selling came in on reports oi eoi- siderable planting being done In the hio l Grande section of Texas, and on claims of a somewhat easier spot situation Tn I the interior Around the middle or the | day the market was 12 to S4 points under | the final prices of last week. In the | afternoon the tone was steadier and par tiaI recoyeries occurred.

Sugar Market

New York, February 24-There was no change in the local raw sugar mar ket, with buyers inclined to limit their operations to nearby requirements, owing to the poor distribution of re- fined, on account of a shortage of cars. There were sales late last week of 30,000 bags of Porto Ricos in port at 9.50c, if delivered, but no transactions were reported in Cubas, which are held at SIS cents, cost and freight, equal to 10.15c for centrifugal
 Prices for refined sugar were un- changed at IS to IS cents for fine granulated with business restricted on account of the shortage of cars and business accepted only for shipment as soon as possible.
 There was little interest in sugar futures and prices were irregular with near months easy in sympathy with the unsettled feeling in raws while late positions were steady Clos ing prices were points lower to : points higher. with sales of only 1oC tons.

The bill was recently passed by both houses of Congress. About 1,1S1,000 acres of govern ment land are involved, much of 1t located in the heart of rich oil bearing territory in Wyoming. The Midwest Refining Company, con- trolled by Standard Oil interests, the principal factor in Wyoming territory, is understood to con template active development work. oil trade men say they would not be surprised to see the production of the wyoming Salt Creek field pushed up to 50,000 barrels a day in a few months once the land is released by the government. Re- ports from Wyoming indicate that the hungry oil prospectors are braving Arctic weather, camping on the edge of the territory in- volved ready to jump the moment the bill becomes law.

Real Action in Fast
Wind-Up


The feature bout at the Germantown
a. c. last night proved exceptionally
fast. Charlie Walters. of Schuylkill,
forcing frankie Farmer. of Elizabeth
town, to extend himself in a rafting
good draw. Farmer was the more ag-
gressive, and succeeded in opening
Walters right eye in the first round.
Walters staged a comeback right there
and then and rocked Farmer with n
succession of jolts to the head.
In the fifth Walters all but scored a
~knockdown, when he crossed his right
TO Farmers jaw. causing the latter to
touch the deck with his hands. Walters
also showed to advantage in the. close
work, shooting his right up under
Farmers guard.
In the semiwind up between Ray Bel
mont, of South Philadelphia, and
Tommy Gibson. of Nicetown. Referee
Adam Ryan stopped the bout in the
third session to save Gibson. who was
hopelessly outclassCd and refused to
break promptly.
In the third bout Charlie Lewis, OF
Kensington, and Johnny Gallagher, of
Olney. fought a good draw. Lewis
was the stronger boy. but Gallagher
earned a draw through his aggressive
ness. In the second bout between
Willie Manning, of Southwark. and
Johnny Brechell, Of Southwark, the
latter>was forced to stop in the second
round, owing to ar injured thumb.
Young Joe Bradley, Of Kcnsington,
gave Tommy McMore, Of Germantown,
