In COTTON PRICES

Later There Were Reactions
to Lower Levels.

BY the Associate ted Press.
NEW YORK, April 12.-There was
very sharp advance in the cotton
market at the opening today on q
renewal of covering by near-month
shorts. but offerings increased at the
higher prices, and after selling at

trading. May closed at 3I.14, with
the general market closing steady at
& net advance of to 10 points.
The opening was firm at an ad-
vance of 25 to 81 points on higher
Liverpool cables. reports of rains in
eastern and central sections of the
belt. the strength of foreign exchange
rates and reports that the German
governm mt had accepted the repara-
tions plan. For time the marke t
showed considerable strength and
activity. and some fresh buying of
new crops was reported on the I'M
favorable weather news. July sold
up to 1929 and October to 1886, max
ing net advances of SO to 63 points,
but the more urgent demand then
appeared TO have been supplied, and
there were reactions later when real
fzing was promoted by reports of
weakness in the stock market. July
eased off to 29.62 and October to $3.50,
with the market closing a. few points
up from the lowest on covering. Ac-
cording to estimates heard here on
the early advance, the stock of I'M
sold cotton in the warehouses here
has been reduced to about 10000 bales.

"PLUS" PRACTICE BRIEF
Federal Trade Commission Gets
Petition Supporting Present
Price-Fixing Methods.

The brief Of the United States Steel
Corporation and it's subsidiaries sup
porting the Pittsburgh plus practice
of determining the price OF steel was
presented today to the Federal Trade
Commission.
The Steel Corporation claimed in
the brief that evidence failed to sup
port the examiners recent finding
that competition between consumers,
producers and the various Steel Cor
poration subsidiaries had been les
sened by the Pittsburgh plus prac-
tice.
The claim also was made that the
commissions construction of section
2 of the Clayton act, under which
abolition of the Pittsburgh plus prac-
tice is sought, would render the act
unconstitutional. No evidence was
introduced, the corporation claimed,
to show participation by any of the
respondents in any pools, combina-
tions or price understandings.

Cattle Epidemic
Now Available

Because of the need for thorough
understanding of the methods which
have produced good results in com
batting serious outbreaks of foot and
mouth disease, the department has
just issued Department Circular 1926
which deals particularly with the
outbreak Of 1914, the most serious
one with which live stock owners
and live stock sanitary authorities
have had to contend.
This circular is valuable to those
who are interested in controlling
outbreaks since it contains careful
account of the development and the
final eradication of the disease from
20 states, the largest territory ever
covered by foot and mouth disease
in this country. 1t includes full
history of the outbreak with dis
cussion of the possible origin of the
infection and details of quarantine
inspection, appraisal, slaughter and
disinfection.
Copies of the circular may be had,
while they last, by addressing the
