COTTON FUTURES
JOIN IN UPTURN
Advance 81 . Bale as Other
Staples Improve, but Later
Display Some Hesitancy.

Dy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-An advance
Of almost 81 q bale was cotton's re-
sponse this week to the general rise in
commodity prices but the market
showed an inclination to pause in
recent trading.
The administrations attitude toward
price levels and q more favorable view
Of the European political situation were
outstanding factors on the advance
which carried May contracts up from
6.9S . week ago to 9.33. Increased
profit-taking appeared at this level
and May yesterday closed at 9.16.
More active foreign and commission
house buying and trade price fixing
helped to extend the rally. Offerings
on the advance appeared to come prin-
cipally from recent buyers who were
inclined to realize profits rs prices
approached levels at which it was be-
lieved southern selling would become
freer.
The main question confronting the
trade was whether. with average cotton
prices In the south above 9A cents
q pound, growers would wish to regain
possession Of cotton in the 1897 loan
and sell It,
Despite the moderate activity in the
cotton goods markets, spot cotton In
terests reported mills were not show
ing much interest in spot cotton.

RUSSIAN ORDERS
AID WHEAT PRICES
Huge Wadivostok Demand
Regarded as Result of
Troop Movement.
ny JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Prees Market Editor.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Vladtvostok
b Just at present the star source Of
ut-of-the-ordinary incentives toward
higher prices on wheat.
Purchase orders for breath-taking
big quantities Of wheat to be shipped
to that far-away port Of Eastern
Siberia have captured the attention
Of the world grain trade and have
emphasized belief that large concen-
trations Of Russian troops in territory
near to Japan furnish the key
reason.
It is not unusual for Russia to buy
cargo or two Of wheat on either side
Of the Pacific Ocean to 60 to Vladi-
vostok, but to have purchasing achieve
sudden wholesale magnitude Is
credited with possible major signifl-
canoe. An immediate result Is to
lessen pressure to sell Australian
wheat In Europe and thus to afford
to the United States better chances
Of an adequate trans-Atlantic export
outlet for domestic surplus wheat.
Compared to one week back the
Chicago wheat market this morning,
Influenced to q considerable degree
by Vladivostok developments, was IA
to 1A cents a bushel higher, with
corn unchanged to s cent lower.
oats A-h up, rye H-1h advanced
and provisions showing z to 60 cents
gain.
Clearances Of United States export
wheat the past week totaled the
largest Of the season. Domestic mill
production of -four has also increased
to . satisfactory aggregate. As . re-
suit domestic visible stocks of wheat
continue to decrease quite rapidly.
Narrowneas OF changes In corn
values are ascribed to the ctrcum-
stance that corn export business has
not been as large as looked for. Rye
and oats take their cue mostly from
wheat.
Provisions owe their gains largely
to upturns Of hog values and Of cot
tonseed oil.

TOBACCO CONTROL
BACKED STRONGLY
Flue-Cured Crop Program Held
Vital Protection at Meeting
of Warehousemen.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
. RALEIGH, N. c., Feb 26-Com.
pulsory crop control for due-cured
. tobacco this year was unanimously ap-
proved here yesterday by tobacco ware
housemen of the Carohnas and Vir-
ginia..,
In resolution urging tobacco grow
ers to vote for control in the March IL
referendum, the warehousemen said
excessive tobacco production OF 1887
and world conditions necessitated
drastic reduction of production for
1885,"
The delegates also formed the Bright
Belt warehouse Association and named
Charles B. Bryant of Danville, Va,
their first president. c. P. Paulett also
Of Danville, was elected secretary
treasurer.
An Executive Committee composed
Of presidents of the various tobacco
belt associations will direct the new
organization.
In their resolution the warehouse
men saw compulsory control as "the
only means available to prevent . re-
cession of price below the cost Of pro-
duction for the 1888 crop"
They termed the new farm law fair,
Just and workable, with ample pro-
visions to take care Of <the small
grower. the large grower. the new
grower and the old grower"

CHICAGO, Feb. 26-General up
turns featured the weeks trade on all
species of live stock, but there was
nothing spectacular in the advance.
Moderate supplies for the period and
broader and higher fresh-meat mar
kets made for better action on fed
steers and yearlings. Hogs benefited
from a fairly broad shipping demand,
as well as noticeable support on kill
er account, while fed lambs gained
price ground largely by way of
abridged supplies.
Weighty steers advanced 25-40
cents at Chicago and practically all
other grades and classes were pulled
upward by markets that were more
active and dependable than last week.
Beef steers rather than yearlings pre-
dominated in the crop, some finishers
having asserted their intention of
holding light cattle for further con-
ditioning. As q net result of the
: weeks price movement. cattle prices
are substantially higher than at the
low time around 30 days ago.
:; The extreme top on fed steers at
Chicago stood at 1850, with best long
yearlings, 9.75; light yearlings, 9.25.
: 1t was largely 700-8.50 steer market
Tor the week, with very little having
beef merit under the TOO line.
Hog Values Improve.
Medium-weight and heavy butchers
made more upturn at Chicago than
other hogs. final prices standing 90
40 cents above last weeks close, with
the peak up is cents at 9.25, highest
since last November More unfinished
q. hight hogs appeared this week and
prices eased mildly on those below
good and choice grades. Strictly choice
. lights sold dependably, however, as
did all offerings with weight. At Chi
cago good and choice 160-23O- pound
offerings cashed Thursday at 9.00-
= o.20.
Fat Lambs Advance.
Fat-lamb prices responded to the
influence Of reduced marketings and
improved fresh-lamb markets, the up
turns ranging upward to as much as
65-75 cents, but usually $3.50 cents,
for the period. The weeks top of
. $50 at Chicago was paid at the close,
when most good and choice lambs
brought S25-8.40.
