COTTON HEDGE
SELLING. IS
SCANTY

NEW YORK, March 2 d.NS).
Slight gains in cotton futures
were augmented today in later
trading with the improvement
resulting more from a lack Of
any important selling rather than
any aggressive buying demand.
There was moderate price-fixing
by the continental trade. Liver
pool bought distant months.
Commission houses and Wall
Street also bought. On the sell
ing side, co-operatives sold May
and July. Professionals sold at
the opening but later made cover
ing purchases. Hedge selling was
light and scattered.
Bullish information on fertilizer
sales in the cotton belt States
was contained in the New York
Cotton Exchange service reports,
these showing that In seven
States sales for the first three
months Of the season, or to Feb
ruary 20, were 295,0O0 tons,
against $4,000 a year ago, 963, 900
two years ago, and 100000 in
1929.
At noon cotton futures showed
gains ranging from five to seven
points, with March up 2 at 6.91,
May up 6 at 7.03, July up at
7.20, october up at TAO, and
December up Z at 7.59.

OUTPUT GAINS

NEW YORK, March 2 u.N.SO.
Pig Iron production scored its
first gain in February since April,
1891, operations being almost 6
per cent higher than January,
figured on the daily rate. Last
months daily output was S3,251
gross tons against 1880 in Jan
uary, the Iron Age market sum-
mary will say tomorrow.
There was a net gain Of four
blast furnaces during the month,
seven having gone in while three
were blown out. On March l, IS
furnaces were active, against 81
on February /.
Steel ingot production probably
made a smaller gain. Operations
being estimated at 26 per cent,
the same as for last week.
The Iron Age finished steel
composite price remains at 2.037
cents a pound. Pig iron and steel
scrap are also unchanged at $14.48
and 1928 a gross ton, respectively.

LOANS TOBREED
CONFIDENCE

With about $50, 100000 already
actually loaned out by the Recon
struction Finance Corporation and
with regulations for the opera
tionS of the Glass-Steagall bill
nearly completed, officials expect
a strong injection Of confidence
in the American banking Situa-
ton this week.
The mere fact that these two
agencies are operating to meet
any emergency is expected to give
the banks such confidence that
they will not find it necessary to
exercise the abnormal care of the
past 18 months.
In the opinion Of many experts
this situation probably will tend
to some business expansion, as
corporations, builders and others
take advantage of low commodity
prices and easy availability of
labor to make permanent improve
mentS which have been neglected
since the depression

three-QuarterS of her private
$200, 10000 credit to this country

South Texas Cotton
Fields Are White
With Blooms

. SAN ANTONIO, March 2.
Volunteer cotton fields in the
Lower Rio, Grande Valley and
other localities of South Texas
already are white with bloom.
BollS are forming, and in an
other month or six weeks much
of this cotton will be ready for
picking, according to growers.
Unusually mild winter is the
reason for the cotton growth
from last seasons stubble.
What the cotton yield from
the volunteer plants will amount
to is difficult to estimate, but
it promises to be sufficiently
large to warrant saving all Of it.

HARRINGTON

Shortly after 2 o'clock last Friday
the Harrington firemen were called
upon to combat one of the hottest
and most serious blazes they have
had in about two years. The fire.
men responded to the blaze and
found the canning house of S. p.
Reece and Company a mass of
flames. The cannery has not been
in operation for several years and
since canning operations were sus-
pended, the building had been used
to manufacture type of cement
block. The cannery was also used
as a warehouse for the storage of
farm implements, several pieces of
these were destroyed before it could
be gotten out of the building. Not
ing the seriousness of the blaze,
both engines of the company were
quickly dispatched to the scene. The
fire was some distance from the
nearest fire plug and the company
was forced to place in service every
bit of hose they own. Then their
troubles began, some of the hose
was very old and under pressure
$50 feet bursted This caused some
little delay in removing the bad sec
tions from the line. Later on En-
gine No. l, develOped-a leaking radia-
tor and was forced out Of service. 1t
was sent to the shop and was ready
for duty again before night. The
firemen worked under the direction
of Chiefs Cain, Tee and Denney. Dur
ing the height of he blaze the home
of Edward DerricksOn in the path of
the flames caught fire but was eX-
tinguished without damage. Some
little damage was done to the rail
road telephone lines nearby, but |
their repairmen had them in serv-
ice again in a short time. A num- !
ber of railroad officials were on |
hand in the interest of the railroad |
property which adioined the burning
