A new peak in Woodley Petro-

MARCH COTTON
ATNEW HIGH
ON MOVE

NEW YORK, March % Q.N.Sl.
Cotton futures turned mixed In
later dealings as the March con-
tract steadied and worked up to
a new high for the current move
ment while other options con-
tinued to show opening losses.
Trading was only moderately
active.
The trade fixed prices in the
near months and some short cov-
ering was in evidence in March.
The continent and the ring were
also supporting the market. The
South, the Far East and commits
sion houses were liquidating the
staple.
The situation in today's market
appeared to be a repetition Of last
weeks sessions. With the Gov.
ernment pool liquidating in March
at higher prices short covering
was again forced and the option
worked higher. Shorts covering
in March were at the same time
hedging in the distant months, de-
pressing the latter group.
Apparently the pool intends to
rid itself of its entire March
holdings before the contract goes
off the board in a few days. In
the last week or two. the bulk
of such holdings have been re-
leased, and only a relatively small
portion remains.
The plans Of the soil conServa-
ton program revealed in moie
detail last Saturday, do not ap-
pear to have evoked much praise
from any source and a few Of
the farming groups involved have
protested, among other things,
the portion Of the total expendi-
ture to be allotted to their group.
This promises to be a knotty
enough problem and others must
also be met before everything be-
comes smooth sailing. In the
meanwhile, the market. as re-
flected in prices, seems to be
withholding judgment

at 11.45, up 4; May 11.04, off /;

Ten Years Since
Union Station
Was Cleaned

> Complaints made by visitors to
Washington on the condition of
the exterior of Union Station
brought the revelation today that
/. the edifice has not been cleaned
for at least ten years.
Officials of the terminal de-
ciared that, to the best of their
knowledge, the structure has been
cleared of exterior CRIME only once
since it was opened in 1907. This
cleaning occurred "about ten or
12 years ago." it was said.
Citizens and visitors, in criticiz-
ing the lack of attention being paid
to the building, have claimed that
the beauty of the depot is hidden
{ under a crust of dirt. One person
wrote:
at is a disgrace to have visi-
!, tors arriving at the Capital by
train to be greeted by a station
s.. as dirty as it is"
Officials of the terminal declared
there are no plans afoot to clean
the building, as far as they know.

Retail sales of Hudsons and

for the first IA days of March
totaled 3,677 cars and exceeded
all marks for the corresponding
period Of the past six years, { :
cording to William r. Tracey, vice
president in charge of sales. Mr..
Tracy stated:
"The tremendous latent de-
mand for cars this year exceeds
anything in my experience.
While it is true that the bad
weather in February has re-
>tarded sales to some extent, our
retail sales for that month were
better than for any previous
February since 1880. Although
spring weather is only just be-
ginning to make its appearance,
our sales are continuing to break
records of six years standing.
There is every reason to believe
that once the selling season for
1886 actually gets under way, 1t
will surpasS any in the history
of the industry"

though cotton goods markets were again
slow today, little business moving, mills
were hopeful of an increase in demand
growing out Of the flood situation. 1t Is
expected that retailers whose stocks have

to replenish, and it is also believed that
individuals will stimulate retail sales Of
cloth in the work of reconstruction.
Prices were unchanged and apparently
steady at this level, although at times
during the past week it seemed as
though any firm bid for a sizeabls
quantity of goods at lower levels would

might even result in a general decline
