COTTON MAKES
5Oc ADVANCE
Activity Is Shown In
Market Despite
Short Day

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 23.-lF-
Despite the short Saturday session
and the fact that New York re-
manned closed. the cotton market
here was quite active today and
prices advanced practically so cents
q bale from the previous close.
Strong Liverpool cables and reports
stopping OF March notices were the
main supporting influences and
March contracts after reactinF
from 1890 TO 1920 rallied and
closed at 1927. or z points net
higher. The general market closed
steady at net advances Of Z to Q
points.
Liverpool cables were 7 TO II
points higher than due and we're
reflected in opening gains Of Q 70
10 points here. March sold al
1880, May 1919 and July 1888.
Some selling followed reports that
notices for delivery OF 5000 bales
Of March cotton had been issued
and on the subsequent drop March
traded to 1920. or 10 points under
the highs and parallel with the
previous close. May eased off only
8 points 10 1913.
"A good demand developed nc the
23-point difference in prices be-
tween the months. probably in
duced by reports of the prompt
stoppege Of the notices. May con-
tracts rallied TO a new high al
1880 or 20 points above the pre-
vious close.
The market ruled steady during
the final trading due to shorts COW
ering and final prices were within
a few points Of the best with May

Rail MERGER
ACT REPORTED
Bill VIII Facilitate
Consolidation of
Railways

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-(PD-
Legislation to facilitate widespread
railroad consolidation was reported
favorahlv to the senate today at the
end OF a week during which some
Of the country's most important
rail interests have advanced specif-
ic plans in the same field 70 the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Senator FeSs, republican, Ohio,
acting for the majority OF the SEN
ate interstate commerce COMMITTEES,
presented q consolidation bill with
an explanation OF its purpose and
the statute notifications 1t contem-
plates.
Though the text Of the measure
made no reference to the individual
consultations pending, its terms
have intimate association with the
enterprises now launched which
look 10 creation of giant rail mer-
gers, some OF them planned on a
scale looking to the fusion OF Is or
20 stable transportation systems in
one management unit.
The latest and perhaps the lar
gest Of these proposals were sub
mitted to the Interstate Commerce
Commission only three days ago,
one by the Baltimore and Ohio Sys-
tenn, which asked approval for the
acquisition of nearly 5000 miles of
additional line. The other conSol-
idaticn proposal was submitted by
the Van Sweringen interests Of
Cleveland, who asked the right TO
build out of rail properties they
now control and others they hope
to buy. a new eastern trunk line
with $4,000 miles OF track.
Though these projects affect only
the northeastern quarter of the
country. there is awaiting the COM
missions final word the provision
ally completed merger of the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern sys-
TENS, in the northwest, whose joint
control Of the Burlington System,
reaching southwark TO the Mexican
gulf, would put $4,000 miles of road
in a single merger.
The bill repeats the sanction of
former statutes even for the consol-
idation Of parallel and competing
railroads." which was once forbid
den by antitrust legislation.
In nine years little consolidation
has gone through.
The program OF l.. +. Loree. for
merging the Kansas City Southern.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. and St.
Louis Southwestern, met with flat
rejection from the commission, as
did the proposal Of the Norfolk and
Western to lease the Virginia sys-

CABBAGE IS
STILL AT Sl2
Draggy Market With
Bad Weather Is
Blamed

A draggy market, due to unfavor-
9ble weather conditions in the
north. has held cabbage at s12 per
ton the past week, with indications
Of general improvement in market
conditions early next week.
A re-survey Of cabbage tonnage,
ordered by the federal department,
is expected to disclose that due 70
weather conditions the cabbage
crop in all early producing sections
will fall short of the February l es-
innate. Many Valley shippers are
urging growers TO hold cabbage, as
serting that the tonnage outlook
does not warrant a price OF less
than $40 per ton to the grower.
Carrots also maintained a steady
price throughout the week at 80 to
IS cents per bushel hamper in the
field. The demand has been heavy,
and market reports indicate no de-
crease in demand or price.
BeetS have ranged from Is TO 20
certS per hamper in the field, with
q light demand. but a strengthen
ing of the market is predicted.
Turnips have brought growers
very profitable prices. ranging
around Is cents per dozen punches
Of four, and the demand is holding
steady with indications OF better
prices when weather conditions in
the north become more favorable.
The acreage Of turnips Is compare
lively small, ell shipments moving
out in mixed cars.
Spinach, which was dragging
prior to the cold weather Of Febru-
airy 9 and 10. which damaged the
crop In the Winter Garden section,
has held st 10 cents per hamper in
the field the past week. The Win
ter Garden Is expected to show
stronger in the deal next week, in
dicating no increase III price or de-
mand.
Saturday weather reports from
the north were more favorable than
ut any time during the week, and
was reflected in increased inquiry
for all lines of fresh vegetables.
Shippers were expressing more cp-
timism. with the prediction that
the retail trade. which Friday and
Saturday showed renewed activity,
would be reflected in better quota
tons next week.
Early bean shipments will start
next week. and the first early pota-
toes are expected to move Friday or
Saturday, with carloads moving
about March 10.
