 A full ticket for territorial offices from the Fourth Division was filed by the Democrats just before the closing of the time for presenting petitions. The petitions filed and the positions for which they have an- nounced their candidacy are as fol- lows:
 FOR SENATOR
 W. T. BURNS
 FOR REPRESENTATIVES,
 R. E. (BOBBY) SHELDON
 Robert Joseph Diven
 JOHN A. MCINTOSH
 THOS. De VANE
 All of these men are we'll known throughout the district and all are oldtimers of the North and have played no small part in the develop ment and progressive opening lib of the Interior of Alaska.
 MT. Burns, who sat a; T recra- sentative of the Fourth Division in the first, second and third sessions of the territorial legislature as Dem- ocratic member, is one of the best known mining operators in this division and is one of the best post ed men on the conditions contract ing the mining industry in this section.
 Robert Joseph Diven, who came to Nenana about three years ago as pastor of the Grace Presbyterian church, has resided there since that time and is at present secretary of the Nenana Commercial club as well oS bIdSe CHuIcn pdSlOf.
 A long time in Alaska, Mir. Diven is widely known. He has been espe clally active in connection with the Nenana Commercial club in working to conserve the fishing resources of the Interior. Repeatedly he has urged the necessity for limiting cannery operations on the lower Yukon river until methods of re- plenishing the supply of fish have been put into effect He has also been actively connected with a good roads campaign and is well posted on the needs of the district as a whole.
 Bobby Sheldon, who has done as much or more to make auto traf- fife possible over the Fairbanks Chltlna trail, operating the first car between Fairbanks and Valdez and Chitina when others considered such service not merely impracti- cable but impossible, has been Ter rltorial Road Commissioner for tbis division during the past two wears. He has filled that office to the sat- lsfaction of the majority of people Tn the district. He has steadily op- posed the retention of the co-oner- atlve road act as passed by the last legislature and it was mainly thru his insistence that the new law was not put fully into effect last season and his objections that prevented the road work in the Interior of Alaska from all being put under the Alaska Road Commission.
 MT. Mcintosh has been in the distfict since 1t was first opened up. In the mining game for a number Of years, he has been the senior partner of Mcintosh & Kubon in this community for several years. He IS president of the Fairbanks commercial club and one of tho towns most progressive business men. He has been a member of the city council for several years in

 We declare for extension to Alaska of the Federal Farm Loan Act"
 It will be noted that these blanks

BAD WEATHER IN SOUTH CAUSE OF
 EXCITED ADVANCE
New Crop Positions Active and Strong, With Decem- Der Selling Up
 to 34.25c
Bv Associated Press

New York, March 5.-There was an
 excited advance in the cotton market
 today owing to unfavorable weather in
 the south and growing apprehensions
 regarding the new crop start. New
 crop positions were relatively active and strong with December selling up to 34 35o, or 123 points net higher, and closing at 34o4c The general close was steady, at net advance of s4 to 105 points.
 There had been some selling in the market here toward the end of last week in anticipation of clearing weath- CT conditions over the Easter holidays. and the reports of continued rains and low temperatures evidently caused 8 great deal of alarm. The opening was strong at an advance of 37 to 106 points l and active months sold 55 to 11S points net higher during the first few min- utes. There was realizing enough at these levels to cause moderate reac- tions, but the offerings were readily absorbed, and the best prices of the l day were reached in the late trading, when May sold at 40.4Sc and October | at 35.00c, or SS to l22 points above | Thursdays closing figures.
 Both foreign and domestic trade in- terests were among the more active ! buyers of early new crop deliveries and buying of old crop months was re- ported against spinners calling ES- cept for the weather no special feature was mentioned in connection with tic advance, but the buying was probably | stimulated to some extent by tn. strength of sterling exchange,
 1 Liverpool will reopen for business ] on Wednesday morning and was 8
 moderate buyer here during the day , Private advioes from the southwest | reported damage from low temper i atures, and the detailed reports of the
 weather bureau showed very unseason-
 able weather in that section, with heavy
 rains in eastern and central parts oi 1 the belt.
 Exports today, 2fOs5, making 5,171.- 1o3 so far this season. Port receipts 2l,365. u s. port stocks, 1,s10,606.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, April 5.--A rise of more than cent a pound on the new crop was the response of the cotton market today to the record breaking low tenn peratures in the belt and reports of continued rain, mixed with more or less snow. Weather and crop accounts of over the holidays were considered uniformly bad for the whole belt and as marking further delay to the start of an already late crop. with the possi- bility that young cotton in the earliest counties of Texas had been damaged
 The opening was higher and the ad- vance continued, with only moderate reactions from time to time is the con sequence of the profit taking opera tions of rather expended long inter est, until the trading months were 7f to 115 points over the close of last week
 The new crop months were stronger than the old throughout the session and October traded up to 34.70c. Heav- jest realizing came in the last half hour of business and closing prices were al net gains of Al to SS points.
 The strength of sterling exchange contributed to the firmness of the mar ket, but the trade had little time for anything but crop and weather news and paid no great attention to other matters.

NemOork Gribn1lk

New York, April Special )-Al- though no apparent progress was made today toward an agreement by which short sellers of ststz Motors may obtain the stock to deliver against their sales at what is con- sidered a fair price, reports were cur rent in Wall street that private set clement may be arranged with >Altan A. Ryan and his associates, who hold the greater part of the outstanding shares of the company. There was talk in brokerage circles that such a set tlement would he arranged as the re- suit oftthe formation of d special com mittee which would use it's influence with MT. Ryan to bring about an ad- justment which would let the shorts out of their preesnt dilemma.
 h the meantime the stock exchange. through a ruling of the committee. let it be known that it would not re- gard the failure to deliver Stutz stock pending determining by action at law of the short sellers liability as re- quiring action by the exchange. The ruling also referred to the premium on loaned stocks of the company.
 Application was made today to have At9tN4 OA -biAO GANAdh5S Lifc SbOth dend of 20,000 shares, which is payable to stockholders of record. In view of the fact that trading in the stock of the company on the floor of the ex- change has been suspended indefi- nitely, the application to list additional shares was regarded at first as an- other evidence of MT. Ryans open disregard of the ruling of the ex- change. Officials of the latter ex- plained that the stock has not been stricken from the list and that the application to list the new shares was a routine step essential to the official registering of the additional shares
 Trading in the stock simmered down in the over the counter market to few transactions, One house quoted the stock sS0 bid and 4S0 asked for cash

Latest Incidents In Franco German Situation Add to Unsettled Condition of
 Stock Market
By Associated Press


 New York. April 5-stocks were de- lcidedly unsettled in the first hour of today's trading, as a result of latest incidents in the Franco German situa- ton. but the market soon strengthened andNclosed with many substsntiai gains, especially among selected issues,
 Interest in the market itself was most eften subordinated-to the move ments of foreign exchange. Demand bills, London, continued to rise to s40434, an advance of almost cents over last week, and the highest quota tion since December of last year.
 Even the Paris rate made substan- tia1 improvement, but dealings in that quarter of the market were reported comparatively small.
 Although last weeks statements of the federal reserve and clearing houes banks were not especially favorable, the money market relaxed visibly. Call loans were freely made at per cent, and opening at [, and dealers in time funds negotiated several renewals for . short dates at quotations slightly under recent rates
 Motors made up it's cash and stock dividends, closing at SS5A, gain of 21a; Crucible retained all but small part of its 10-point rise at 270A. and Studebaker was confidently taken, gaining almost 4 points at a fraction under 110.
 Other motors, and their accessories. also steels, equipments, oils, feathers, shippings and sundry specialties ended at variable gains but rails Jagged in their usual fashion. nominal losses rul- ine at the end.
 investment issues, including interna- tionals, were mostly higher in the bond market, but Liberty issues and specu- lative rails reacted within narrow limits.
 Total sales, par value, aggregated $15,250,000. Old United States bonds advanced lsc on call

THEDAY IN WALL STREET
Private Settlement of Stutz Row Rumored- -Railroa Shares Prove Disappointing Bag and Paper
 One of Strongest of Inactive Issues

due to the books closing today on the 20 per cent stock dividend.
 Failure of the railroad shares to makeJ a greater response to their re- turn to private control is proving great disappointment to many people whoNbought them in anticipation of d broad upward movement. There was modest rise about the time the rail- road legislation was enacted, but 1t soon petered out, and the rails have done comparatively little since early in March. Certain floor traders on the exchange loaded up with long lines or low priced rails about the time the market in these issues showed signs or coming back to- life. They were able to distribute d rart of their pur- chases, but still carry a considerable amount. NOne of the biggest operators in the market who bought upwards of 75,000 shares of the rails is understood to be waiting for market on which to let go,
 One of the strongest of the mar ket's so-called inactive issues in re- cent weeks has been Union Bag and Paper common. This stock has risen from a low of S7 this year to a high of 1i4. Today 1t was traded in around 112 The buying that has been respen- sihle for it's steady advance is under stood to have come from interests close to the company, who are im- pressed with the present prospects ot the concern, In 1913 Union Bag and Paper earned a balance available for it's junior shares equivalent to approx imately SIG q share. Earnings this vear are exDecfed tO run as high as s30 8 share if business continues at it's present pace. The company bene- fits handsomely from the stock dtVi- dend of 30 per cent declared today by it's subsidiary, the St. Maurice Paper Company. That company has s5,0oo- 600 capital stock outstanding, of which Union Bag and Paper owns 75 per cent or sS,750,000, Union Bag and Paper will receive $l,125JO0o par value in new stock of it's subsidiary as Q result of the dividend just declared.
