succeed Robert Lansing as Secretary

selection by President Wilson was
made at the White House today.

with the Democratic party. Colby

TWIN TUNNELS

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 25-Twin tun-
nels, each 5,700 feet long, for the use
of vehicles and pedestrians, are being
bored through the range of hills bor-
dering the southern side Of the Mono
gahela River valley here, in order that
the thousands of persons who live in
the southern part of Allegheny coun-
ty and work in Pittsburgh, may more
easily reach the city.
Work on the tunnels, which began a
few days ago, will continue for more
than two years engineers estimate,
and the cost will be $4,600,000.
1t is proposed to have the tunnels
connect with high bridge which will
span the Monogahela river and bring
the tunnel traffic to the heart OF the
business district of Pittsburgh. This
will cost $3,5OO,OO0. Each tube will
be made to accommodate two lines OF
vehicle traffic, and in addition there
will be footpaths.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER.
(From J. F. Clark & Co.,
by Abe SilYer.l

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. 25- The
reaction in sterling exchange gave q
new impulse to straddle operations
and Liverpool this morning delevoped
large advance in futures but quotes
spots 36 down, sales 5000.
Our market opened slightly higher,
in sympathy with Liverpool then re-
acted under straddle selling and then
developed stronger expression on
technical conditions, which has been
pending for several days.
With spot limits on the short side,
placed rather close, they were soon
oyertaken by the covering movement
and the execution Of these spot limits
caused a rapid jump to 35.40 after
May had reached 35 cents. July was
carried 80 points and October 70
points over yesterdays closing prices.
There was no special news to invite
the upturn. The Texas press contains
numerous sdyices Of good progress
with preparation and planting started
in the Southwest.
With the many unfayorable politi-
cal and financial news Of the past
weeks and owed the holidays did not
move the market in the expected down
ward direction it could be noted that
bears were becoming impatient and
restless. The idea that the decline
was being held up by the discount
under spots found wider consideration
as well as the stimulus Of some month
end filling up demand in spots and the
sentiment affect Of the cold spell over
the belt.
Weather map shows partly cloudy
belt, precipitation light and confined
to the Southeast and Atlantic coast.
Freezing over Northern half of the
belt except East Texas. Indications
are for partly cloudy weather becom-
ing unsettled and warmer over the
West with the possibility Of rain dis

day.
