Some versions of this report were that the Russians already had been isolated; this seemed to be incor- rect on the basis of early dispatch es today. However, all reports indi. cattd tnat the daring Finnish ski patrols were operating far behind the Russian lines and reports per- sisted that some of them at least had reached the region of Kanda- laksk. Russia's White Sea base on the Murmansk railroad which is the line of supply for the Russian fai north army.
 It was said that Gen. Kurt Wal. lenius, Finnish commander in chief on the Finland and far north- err fronts, had succeeded in getting achievements. Thus the Russian position on the Finland front where the Finish patrols are seek ing to cut the railroad, was made even more precarious, dispatchei said, and the Russians might have to deside whether they preferred te retreat or to make bold mass at. tack fin hope of smashing the Fin rish resistance.

 The overwhelming vote against condemnation of Russia came as q surprise. The resolution. presented by Allen dottlieb, Harvard univer- sity, said that while the AsU has no sympathy for the Russian attack on Finland and specifically cons demns 1t as Q clear act Of aggression, nevertheless 1t does not want to see our neutrality prejudiced by those acts we consider to be unlawful"
 Joseph Lash, New York city, Na- tional secretary of the union, and Molly Ward, Chicago. national chair- man, had urged that the resolution be adopted. Instead the convention approved q compromise resolution blaming German aggression and Great Britair'S policies against so- viet Russia as the causes of the European war.

Politics
 in Passing
By RAYMOND ,. FITZPATRICK

The Jackson Day dinner of Con- necticut Democrats early in Jan- uary may do much to show what the internal status of the organ ization is, whether the factions will remain much the same or whether the rumored shifts in alignment are coming to pass. It will be the first gathering of Democratic leaders in some time, and observers will be not only listening to what is said from the speakers table but watching in- tently to see what is being done b, those prominent in the various groups within the party. The smile that seems a little forced, the handshake that seems more polite than hearty, the applause that appears perfunctory - all these will be duly noted by those seeking to decide just what the situation is within the party.
 Another indication being awaited is the appointment by President Roosevelt of a federal
 judge to succeed Judge Edwin 5. Thomas. From the choice that
 is made, there will be differences drawn as to the feeling of the White House toward the several groups which constitute the leadership nucleus of the party in this state.

Estimate Of Oil Demand
For March Increased
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The Bureau Of Mines estimated
daily average supply Of 3,340,0OO
barrels of domestic crude oil would
be needed to meet market demand
in March.
This estimate was 10000 barrels
more than the estimate for Febru-
ary and slightly more than the
actual demand for March, 1898.
Improved industrial operations,
coupled with low prices, the bureau
said, has resulted in recovery in
the demand for residual fuel oil.
Because of increases in refinery
runs, the bureau added, seasonal
gasoline and fuel inventories are
still higher than necessary and in
dicate the desirability of conserva-
tive refinery operations during the
remainder of February and through
March.
Daily"average crude oil production
and runs to stills from January l
to February 4, the bureau said, were
100000 and 3,23OOOO barrels, re-
spectively. During this period total
crude oil stocks declined SIC, 900 bar
rels, while foreign stocks increased
242,000 barrels, resulting in decline
of 1,118,000 barrels in domestic
stocks.

By Brisk Demand
Wall Street Buying
And Covering by Short
Interests Seen
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FTeSS.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Aggressive
demand by trade interests for March,
May and July options lifted cotton
futures to final gains of to points
today.
High lights of the days dealings
were Wall Street buying on the ad-
vance and covering by short inter-
ests who apparently held to the be-
lief loan stocks of cotton may not
be released before old-crop deliv-
cries expired.
Much of ring activity was based
on market speculation over what
measure Washington may choose to
solve cotton problems. Traders fol-
lowed closely testimony before a
Senate Agriculture Committee to-
day on the Smith proposal for sub
sidizing farmers to sell cotton rather
than turning it over to the Gov
ernment for loan.
Offerings of the July contract by
Southern mill accounts-believed to
represent hedges against stocks of
cotton gOodS-Were readily taken in
by spot dealers and other mill, in
terestS.
The rcent tendency for old crop
deliveries to hold firm in relation
to new crop months was maintained
and May touched new high for
the present move at 818 cents.
Numerous switches into forward
options were worked but liquidation
in March was light as holders OF
long contracts appeared reluctant to
sell at present levels.
Brokers found scant encourage
ment in news of better textile turn

prices had been pared as much as

Iowa Address

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-A broad
rise in the bond market today fol-
lowed Secretary Hopkins Iowa
speech, emphasizing the administra-
tion's determination to encourage
business revival.
Rails, mentioned by the Com
merce Department head as one of
the chief industrial sectors needing
revival stimulus, led the upturn,
and some finished with gains of
more than a point.
The upsWing carried over from
the preceding session and was ac-
companied by the heaviest week
end dealings since December 81.
Utilities and industrials fell in
line with the rails. The United
States Treasury list, however. was
laggard since the administration
statements turning thumbs down on
tax increases apparently pointed
to additional heavy Government
borrowing. Some bond men ex-
pressed disappointment because the
spokesmen had skipped mention of
budget balancing
Transactions totaled $46l2,0O0,
against S3,755, 500 last Saturday.
The Associated press composite price
of 20 rail bonds was up 0.3 at 59.8,
while 10 industrials gained an av-
erage of 02 at 998, the highest this
year.
Abitibi Paper SIS jumped more
than points, but most foreign
loans held within fractional
range.
Allegheny SIS of l949 were up 3 at
II. Closing point or more higher
were Central Pacific first As at 7412,
New York Central IS at 62&., South
ern Railway As at Sc and Nickel
Plate 5l2s at 63i2. Fractionally up
were Great Northern As of 1916,
