NEW YORK COTTON Ry Asaoriotad praaa
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 Nv Aasoctated Press


 New Orleans, January 17.--After declining in the early trading and ad- vancing rather strongly around mid session the cotton market sagged in the late trading today and finally closed net unchanged to points higher, the last quotation on March being 16.62c, that month being the strongest month on the close. The decline of the early hours was con tinuation of the downward movement of yesterday, while the reaction was due as much to short covering as to anything else.
 Poor cables helped to depress prices during the first call but after de- clines of 20 to 27 points good deal of realizing by shorts was met and the market commenced to do better. The demand increased sharply fol- lowing reports from north Louisiana that the pink boil worm had been discovered at Saint Maurice.
 Highest prices of the session were reached in the early afternoon follow ing the receipts of private cable mes sages from Havre to the effect that the demand for cotton held In stock In France was increasing and predicting that French buyers would be found In the American market within the week. On top of this were telegrams from Galveston telling of the appear ance of large buying orders in the spot market there. Throughout the session the market had steady tone as the result of much more cheer ful view of foreign politics than has been entertained of late. March al it's lowest traded down to 16.29c, while at it's best 1t stood at 16.72c at which level the list showed net gains of Il to 16 points.

Tobile, January

Mobile, January 17.-(Speciai)- James H. Webb, newly elected state chairman of the democratic executive committee, stated tonight that there seemed to be one misapprehension as to the action of the executive commit tee In regard to the election of wom- en to membership In that body. That 1t was provided at the last meeting that 10 members be added to the com mittee. one from each congressional district, and that the members from each district suggest that at the next meeting of the committee the name of the ones to be selected from such district and that in accordance with the rules of the committee and the resolution adopted at the last meet ing those so suggested will be elect ed members of the present committee. It was further provided that in tho August primary five members of the next executive committee be elected from each congressional district, the one in each district receiving the largest number of votes to be des- ignated as the members from the state at large. In such primary the men and women will be on an abso- lute equality and should the women receive the highest number of votes they will, of course. be declared elect ed without regard to the number, ex- cept, of course, there will not be more than five from each congress sional district.

Wheat Averaged a Lit tle Higher esterday
 in Chicago
By Associated Press

Chicago, January 17.-Wheat aver aged a little higher in price today, helped more on.less by announcement of a good-sized decrease in the worlds available supply last week. The mar ket closed firm at A @ %c net gain. with May s1.117s to $1.12 and July s1.oo% to $1.ooh. Corn finished h @ Ac to Ac higher; oats up bc to Ac, and provisions varied from unchanged figures to rise of 15c.
 The decrease in world stocks of wheat amounted to 4.635,000 bushels and was given emphasis by word that estimates Of the Australian surplus were being reduced, official reports from two provinces indicating a yield of 15,000, 900 bushels less than was the case last year Unfavorable crop re- ports from Oklahoma and elsewhere southwest tended also to lift prices somewhat Until the last part of the session, however, the selling side of the market appeared to have the ad- vantage. as most of the wheat bought yesterday for seed purposes in Russia turned out to bo Canadian instead of United States wheat. Slowness of domestic milling demand for wheat counted also as a temporary depress- ing factor, but seemed to be lost sight of at the last when the attention of traders had been partly turned for the time being to adverse crop con ditions southwest.
 The slight advance in the value of corn and oats was. ascribed chiefly to the fact that rural offerings of corn to arrive here lacked volume, espe- cially from Illinois points.
 Provisions tended upward in price as result of a sharp advance in the hog market. Owners of lard, however, showed considerable disposition to realize profits

GENERAL FEELING
 SENT COTTON ID
 FURTHER DECLINE
General Staple List Closed Steady Net Seven Points Higher to Five Points
 Lower on the Day
By Associated Press

New York, January 17.-A renewal of moro or less general selling sent prices still lower in the cotton mar ket here this morning, but better demand developed around or just be- low the 17-cent level for May con tracts. After selling at 16,94c that delivery rallied to 17.33c and closed at 17.2Sc. with the general market closing steady. net ' points higher to 5 points lower.
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of 16 to 1g points, owing to weakness in Liverpool. reiterated reports of poor spot demand and unfavorable advices from the goods trade. There was a good deal of southern selling as well as further scattering liquidation, local and Wall street pressure and for time the market was very weak and unsettled.
 January sold off to. 17.42c and March 10 1f.25c, or 24 to 31 points net lower and about 175 to 195 points be- low the high prices touched right after the holidays. Offerings then became less active, suggesting that liquidation had been pretty thorough,
 
 technical position which promted by afternoon reports of a steadier tone in the spot markets and rumors that the pink boil weevil had been dis covered in northern Louisiana.
 There was some trade buying to fix prices both on the early decline and on the early afternoon bulge, but the bulk of the demand was at tributed to covering and rallies of some 30 or 40 points from the lowest were followed by rather irregular fluctuations in the afternoon. Jan uary sold up to 17.S1c and closed at 17.73c. while March advanced to 17.67c and closed at 17.56c. Reports from the local cotton goods market indi- cated that business was almost at standstill with buyers holding off for more settled conditions or revision of goods prices should the decline in raw materials continue.

National Lead. National Biscuit and several of tho chemical and fertilizer specialties.
 sluggishness was shown by equip ments. sugars and minor food spe- ciaities, but reactions in those groups were moderate. Selling for profit detracted from the markets best prices in tho final dealings, but the closing was strong.
 The money market encouraged op- erations for tho long account, call loans opening and holding at 4h per cent against yesterdays maximum of per cent. Time loans running from 30 to 90 days were made at the fur ther concession of A per cent.

T Thompson T eHs What
 AiIs the Shoe Market
By BRIGGS

New York, January 17.-Irregular- ity of piece rates and the uneven flow of work are the chief ailments of the shoe industry, Sanford E. Thompson, consulting engineer in Industrial man agement, today told members of the National Boot and Shoe Manufactur- CTS association.
 Colonel Thompson, who was a mem Der of the Hoover committee on elim- nation of waste In industry, said that one representative factory had met piece rate increases ranging from 12 to 260 per cent since 1914. Another factory. he said. making 1000 pairs of shoes a day had varied in It's week ly output as much as 5000 pairs.
 ''The day of snap judgment is past" he said. The only way to get at the causes of the various difficulties that are occurring day after day and week after week in the shoe industry is through detailed analysis and stand ardization of methods of operations"
 He advised a study of styles in shoes to determine the limits to which fancy styles should be carried and closer survey of market conditions.
