COTTON FUTURES.
STAGE RECOVERY
Advance to 9.Cent Level for
First Time Since Last
September.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Cotton rail-
lied So a bale this week as buying
broadened on indications the admin
istration felt some competitive agri-
cultural prices were too low.
Final enactment of the farm bill
and issuance of acreage allotments
for 1888 contributed to the advance,
but the demand was attributed prin-
cipally to the development of bullish
sentiment in practically all of the
commodity markets based on Wash
ington developments On the advance
May sold up to 9.18 and closed yes
terday at 8.98, compared with 8.8l a
week ago.
Cotton advanced into the Scent
column for the first time since Sep
tember and at the highs the market
was approximately $500 a bale above
the low levels of October.
The 1888 cotton acreage allotments
was fixed by the Secretary of Agri-
culture at 26.384,4 AIT acres, compared
WIN 34,3o3,00 planted last year. A
referendum will be held March 12
among cotton growers who, with an
adverse vote of one-third, could re.
ject the quotas.
Active foreign and Wall Street COM
mission house buying carried prices
rapidly higher during the latter part
OF the week, but amplification of the
administration attitude on commodity
prices attracted some reselling. The
market then became quiet pending
further developments. The total VOL
ume of Southern offerings remained
comparatively light.
Spot cotton markets remained quiet.
Cotton goods experienced a squirt of
actlVe buying earlier in the week, but
the demand was not sustained.

Earnings Furnish Problem.
Several Washington insurance lead
ers will attend the midwinter meet
ing of the American Life Conven-
tion's financial section in Chicago,
February %. Among those listed are
Donald F. Roberts, Acacia Mutual
Life, who is secretary of the section;
H. A. Bartholomew, president and gen.
eral manager, Continental Life; Henry
P. Blair, president, Equitable Life,
and Gustave M. Bugniazet, president,
Union Cooperative Insurance Associa-
ton.
The vital problem of maintaining
earnings for the 65,000,000 policy
holders Of America in the face Of
continued low interest rates will be
the central theme Of discussion. In
terest rates have not improved since
the depression, and as q result the
return on SIC, 6,000, 100000 in assets
which insurance companies hold In
trust for policyholders remains low.
Insurance Firms Aid Building.
Activity in large-scale construction
projects has received a substantial i'm
petus during the last week through
participation of life insurance COM
panies and other lending institutions
in building under section 207 of the
amended Housing Act, Stewart Nc
Donald Of the Federal Housing Admin
istration said yesterday.
Construction has been started or
soon will be on 20 large-scale projects

financing the projects are the New

ance Co., with four projects listed for

Of Chicago, national president Of the

the program calling for only two short
speeches. An entertainment and
dancing will conclude the evening.
The guest list includes many prom
inent Government officials, as well
as the citys leading bankers.
This banquet is by far the most i'm
portant social event in the Institutes
activities for the year. A glance at
past dinners brings up the names OF
many men of national prominence at
the time they took part in the pro-
grams.
William Jennings Bryan, several
times presidential candidate of the
Democratic party, and Secretary Of
State under Woodrow Wilson, was the
principal speaker at an early BAN
quet Others include Uncle" Joe Can
non, Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives; John w. Weeks, United
States Senator from Massachusetts,
and later Secretary of War; Theodore
E. Burton, United States Senator
from Ohio; Joseph W. Bailey, United
States Senator from Texas; James E.
MARITIME, United States Senator from
New Jersey: Senator jeff" Davis of
Arkansas, John Burke, Treasurer of
the United States, and John Sharp
Williams controller of the currency.
Charles G.. Dawes, former Vice Pres
ident of the United States and AM
bassador to England, sent special
greetings to the chapter on its 25th
anniversary. John Temple Graves,
one of the most convincing orators of
his time, was toastmaster at the 1917
banquet.
Inventories Still Too High.
Inventories generally are still
little higher than may be desired. but
in many lines they have been reduced
to normal stocks, says Henry H. Hell
mann, executive manager of the Ma
tional Association of Credit Men, in
his monthly review. He tells the
Washington association that in con-
sumner goods lines no doubt some early
buying will take place. Although
there will be some improvement now
and then, he says real recovery will
not come until fall. Demand in con-.
sumers' lines will lead the way to the
first new business. he believes.
If the railroad industry receives
q rate increase it will contribute con-
siderably to recovery through the
placement Of reasonable amount of
equipment orders. The utility indus
try could contribute greatly to busi-
ness stimulation but for the situation
now confronting this industry. The
Government-utility conflict has stop
ped present expenditures.
Home building will get under way
this year, but the full effect of new
home construction under the new and
very liberal legislation will not be
felt until 1889. The used-car situa-
tion is beginning to clear and auto
mobile production pickup may be
realized sooner than expected, he con-
cluded.
