Steel Corporation Would Exclude
 Certain Euidence
Ry Associated prcs.

NdSuinSt StoH, FeDfuary Zf.-MOtlOn to exclude use of the evidence of Pittsburg base price for steel for the independent producers. introduced at the recent hearing before a federal trade commission examiner in Mill waukee was made today to the com mission by attorneys for the United States Steel corporation.
 Steel corporation counsel contended that contracts, quotations and in voices showing steel prices charged by other producers were irrele- want incompetent and immaterial as evidence against the corporation.
 w. H. Fuller, chief cousel for the commission, advised the commis ssion that it should not entertain the motion on the ground that to do so would be for the body to usurp judicial power not granted it by con- gress. He argued that it was not the province of the commission to deter mine strict points of law which were for the decision of the circuit court which would safeguard the constitu- tional rights of both parties.
 Mir. Fuller further asserted that such a practice by the commission would mean that parties objecting to pro ceedings by examiners in various parts of the country would come to Washington to appear before the commission before the conclusion of proceedings in other cities.
 c. A. Severance of St. Paul. counsel for the steel corporation, argued that the federal trade commissions pro- ceedings were similar to those of the Interstate Commerce Commission and that the rules of law should be to some extent observed. He declared the introduction of the natter complained of into the record would make 1t . volume of enormous size.
 Counsel for the corporation also moved to amend the complaint against the United States Steel cor poration to include a statement that all other steel companies use the practice of the Pittsburg base price

Some of the people credited with issuing notices were buyers of March around the ring sending the price up to S.55c or 5 points net hgiher right after the call.
 The liquidation continued, however, with differences between months showing tendency to broaden out somewhat later. Fluctuations were irregular with March closing at S.49c or 1 point net lower. The general list closed net 1 point lower to 3 higher with the late months relative firm. Sales including exchanges of 90, ,0oO bags were estimated at about 155, 900.

I Temporary Pauses Featured Cotton
 Trading Past Week
By Associated Press

New ork, February &A.-Inere was nothing more than temporary pauses in the advance of the cotton market until May contracts sold at 1S.44c on Thursday morning. This represented an advance of over s1S.eo per bale as compared with the low price touched toward the end of Jan uary. and was evidently sufficient to attract good deal Of realizing.
 Probably the disposition to take profits on long cotton for over the weekend was increased by reports that spots were being offered more freely in the south or by uncertainty as to further developments in the matter of March notices and con tracts. Reactions of 70 to 75 points, however seemed to bring in a con siderable demand and bullish views of the market found encouragement in reports of an improving demand for cotton goods in the domestic markets and more favorable reports from Manchester. Thursday was the first March notice day in the local market but only IT notices were is sued. and there were only seven more today, making total so far of twen- tyfour, representing about 2,4O0 bales.
 There are in the neighhorhood of forty thousand bales of certified cot ton held in the stock here which might possibly be rendered and uH- certainty as to the further course of March is promoted by doubt as to the disposition to be made of this cot i ton The few March notices issued here have been promptly stoppe i with March maintaining a premium , ,f Mo- httf March position is so much mat i ter of straddles and switches between months and markets that traders hardly know whether to regard the market as an index to spot market ! conditions. The improvement in the { Manchester news has been attrib-
 uted to a better demand from China and local bulls have attached signifi-
 canoe to the prompt reflection of the ! better demand for cotton goods by
 increased spot sales in the Liverpool
 market. There also has been reports ! that Liverpool was showing more l interest in the Southern spot markets
 and while reports of freer spot of-
 ferings have been confirmed by in- creased sales they have been ab- i sorbed at advancing prices.
 Reports as to acreage prospects re- main very conflicting and no change has been reported in the New Ems land labor situation which is said l to be curtailing New England mill
 production by about 10 per cent.
