Cotton
The cotton market was higher yes?
terday. March contracts showed the
greatest strength, selling up to 32.63,
or 43 point:- net higher and within 3
points of tlie season's high .record.
May advanced to 31.85, or IS points
net higher, and closed at 31.S4, with
the general list closing steady at a net
advance of 12 to 43 pc ints.
The market had an irregular opening.
first prices being unchanged to 19
points net lower, with March relatively
easy under liquidation, but the offer?
ings of that delivery were soon ab?
sorbed and the general list turned
steady. The census report on supply
and distribution was regarded as favor
ing high prices, and the advance was |
also encouraged by renewed drouth
complaints from the Southwest. Buy?
ing of May ?.?."as accompanied by re?
ports that spinners were calling cot
ion, and later the trade was credited
with covering hedges in March. The
advance extended some 15 to 18 points
above Thursday'.? closing prices in the
; case of May and later deliveries, with
the close showing slight reactions
: under realizing on July and the new
crop positions.
The census figures showed a falling
off in domestic mill consumption both
for February and the first seven
months of the season, as compared
with last year. In view of the situa- :
tion as to fuel during January and
; February, however, it was figured that
the mill output per actual working day
iiad been very heavy, and the showing
consequently was taken as promising
a very large output, for the balance of
the season. The figures on exports
also attracted bullish comment as they
ran considerably over the totals shown
by the regular daily reports of the
Cotton Exchange, reflecting the delay
in reporting clearances for publication
under prevailing conditions.
The official report on rainfall in
Texas for the month o'Z February
showed a deficiency of nearly an inch
compared with normal. According to
private reports ploughing has been
nearly completed over the state, but
the last rains of any consequence were
at the beginning of the month, and
complaints of drouth were beginning
to come in again during yesterday's
trading. Exports for the day were
11,617 bales. Southern spot markets
as officially reported were unchanged
to 12 points higher, generally un?
changed.

Copper is being held in some of the
cepper producing districts, according
lo reports from the West, because of
the lack of transportation facilities.
Unless the situation is relieved, it may
affect the production of refined metal
in the forthcoming months.

metals, compared with those prevailing

Wheat.? Private advices on the out?
look for the new winter wheat crop
continue very promising. Practically
all authorities arc unanimous in their
opinions that the crop has passed
through the winter with less than th ?
usual amour; of winter killing, w ?
recent rains in portions of the South?
western belt have been highly bene?
ficial t'.i the crop in that locality. With
the price fixed by the government, crop
advices have no bearing in values but
they serve io create a more optimistic
feeling in connection with prospects
for future supplies and have apparently
exerted a more or less bear! h influence
on other grains. The movement of
wheat at primary points continues iight:
and the absence of offers of flour to
the domestic trade ig another illustra?
tion that the food administration is re?
quiring a large percentage of the Amer?
ican out put for ? 4 porl.
Corn. After weeks of dullness v I
very narrow prie?' changes, the corn
market has deve oped renewed life and
prices for the May position in Chi?
cago yesterday moved within a rant-e
i ' a cent a bushel. The undertoi of
: ? market wa - distinctly oar i er, with ;.
ccntinuation of the bearish sentiment
which prevailed on Thursday. Corn
merchants were more or less puzzled
over whether or not there has been
an actual change in the situation at
large. Some believe that the large re?
ceipts for the past six weoks ?-.ave filled
up many of the holes which were ap
parcnt earlier in the season and that
supplies are steadily overtaking the de?
mand. Others, however. <\in?r to the
theory that there is little probability
of much accumulation as the domestic
demand will be much larger than usual
on account of the increased use of corn
r.?? a substitute for flour and that the
needs abroad are very great. The cash
demand has fallen off materially, ar.d
during the past week cash prices in
the West have, in some cases, declined
30 to 10 cen?- per bushel. Efforts are
being made in Chicago to bring about
a broader trade and it was announced
on Friday that plans have been drawn
up which will be submitted to the food
administration.

Oat?.?The oats market was under
increased pressure and prices were
weak, closing with net losses of '2c to

lor some time. The trade was giving
more consideration to the probability
of increased -locks and the possibility
of delivery on contract. Embargoes
1 again?I ahipnicnta to the East are u
factor in tho West as, while very large
contracts have been made to Eastern

Many Women
Enroll Here to
Help Farmers
Raliy of Land Army Brings
Forth Many Volunteer
Laborers
Farmerettes Praised
Recruits Must Work Eight
Hours a Day and Wear
Overalls
Farmer litarles Haines, of Old Cro?
t?n Lake Road, Westchester County,
rose up in the dignity of his "best
black" and his gold, watch chain yes?
terday afternoon at Wanamaker's Audi?
torium and made a speech?a femi?
nistic speech that brought cheers from
women gathered there in the interests
of women farmers for New York's
farms for 1918.
"I want to give my recommend," said
Farmer Haines, "for these farmerettes
you've heard so much about. Well, let
me te'.l you, women on a farm have
boys beat a mile from Sunday. They
air.'t lazy, like men, and they don't eat
so much, and they liven upa place if
you happen to be a bachelor like me.
So, as I said before, here's my recom?
mend. They worked on my farm last
summer and. we!!, as I said before,
here's my recommend."
The meeting yesterday was a recruit
ing raliy called by the "Woman's Land
Army of America, a recently created
organization that is endeavoring to
supply women farm laborers to meet
the shortage.
Mrs. II. 0. Havemoyer and Miss Helen
Stevens, a farmerette herself, made ad?
dresses, but it was Farmer Haines, who
rose from the audience to give hi?
"recommend," that brought a rush of
business to the "recruiting officers" at
the end of the meeting. The committee
said yesterday that 35,000 women are
needed for New York State's farms;
they did not get the full quota yester?
day, but Fa. mer Haines was responsi?
ble for a good start.
"Poison ivy, nasty little green worms
and making'your own beds," were the
only object.ons to farmeretting that
.Mrs. Havemeyer could think of to put
be fore the audience. Aside from those
disadvantages, she said that the sur?
roundings for the units of girl farmer?
which the Woman's Land Army of
America will superintend will be ideal.
The recruits must be over eigh?
teen and cannot enlist for less than a
month's service. They will be subject?
ed to the strictest discipline, Mrs.
Havemeyer said, will dress in overalls
and work eight hours a day. The "re?
cruiting office" for the Lan?} Army is at
'J Hast 8th Street.
Packers Accused of
Plot to Beat Tax
Heney Seeks Evidence Also to
Show Attempt to Defeat
Federal Inquiry
CHICAGO, March 15.?Alleged ef?
forts of Morris & Co. to evade certain
tax assessments at Oklahoma City, al?
leged attempts to defeat the Borland
resolution for investigating the pack?
ing industry, and the retaining of for?
mer Senator Joseph Bailey to oppose
the suit of the State of Texas to oust
the packers, were among the matters
taken un at the Federal Trade Commis?
sion inquiry into ihe packing industry
to-day.
With M. W. Borders, counsel for
Morris & Co. and Wilson & Co.. on
the stand, Francis J. Heney, counsel
for the investigators, read letters which
showed the first named firm was anx
ious to be on friendly terms with who?
soever was elected assessor at Okla?
homa City, where they had erected a
plant. They were threatened with an
assessment of $1,000,000, or $500,000
more than the year before, anil gave
much consideration to forming a vil?
lage with their own village government
on the outskirts of Oklahoma City.
A letter of November 4, 1916, from
Mr. Borders to H. R. Hutchings, of the
Oklahoma National Stockyards Com?
pany, remarked of the two candidates
for assessor:
"I do not believe that Carrico will
v.-ant anything but support, but OfTut*.
will need all that he can get. In any
event I want the friendship of both
of these men .so that, vye will be with
the winner and I want you men on the
ground to be sure thai tins is brought
about."
Mr, Heney sought to show that for?
mer Senator Bailey was retained for a
fee of $5,000, prorated among' the pack?
ers on a basis of their business in
Ti xas, because of his influence with the
Attorney Genera! of Texas. Mr. Heney
tried to get. the witness to admit knowl?
edge of efforts to defeat th?? Borland
resolution. The witness replied in the
negative when ?>ir. Heney asked:
"D ) you remember of Morris & Co.
paying out $1,000 in an attempt to get
Congressman Taggart, of Kansas, to
vote against the resolution?"

Eleven New Credit
Unions Organized
Superintendent Skinner Re?
ports Growth Among N. Y.
Savings and Loan
Organizations
ALBANY, March 16.?The savings
and loan associations of New York
State had total resources of $S6,000,U00
at the close of business on December
31 last, according to the annual report
of State Superintend nt of Hanks
George I. Skinner. Although the. in?
voluntary liquidation of the associa?
tion and the voluntary liquidation of
several others took pla;e during the
year, while only one new one actually
began business durintr the year, the re?
sources increased more than $(?,100,000
during 1017.
"A credit union," says Superintend?
ent Skinner, ''is the latest form of coop?
erative financial institution authorized
by the law s of this state. Tin.' statute
relating to credit unions is Ija-sed par?
tially upon the forms of cooperative
finance existing in other countr.es and
states and partially upon the experi?
ence of the savings and loan assaocia
t ions of this state. Credit unions were
intended to enable wage earners gen
erally, by pooling their resources and
their credit, to obtain small loans at
reasonable rates and to assist farmers
by the same means in procuring funds
?"or productive purposes upon their
personal cr?ait.
"Although the formation ot" war sav?
ings societies and the salo of war ?sav?
ing certificates and war saving stamps
will, in my judgment, affect to a con?
siderable extent, the business of these
small institutions and will possibly
prevent for the time their rapid ex?
pansion, eleven credit unions were or?
ganized during the jre.ar 1917. Al?
though the law%au_horizing the organi?
zation of credit unions has only been
in existence a short time, thirty-nine
credit unions are now engaged in busi
ness ir. this state and they have ac?
cumulate?! total resources of 8465,367."

Marine Insurance
Making Brokers Rich
Inquiry Reveals How Shippers
Are Forced to Pay Ex?
orbitant Rates
Highly speculative conditions exist?
ing ::i the marino insurance market.
affording get-rich-quick possibilities,
were disclosed yesterday at th" hear?
ing conducted by Jesse S. Phillips. Su?
perintendent of Insurance, at 16."
Broadway.
Since the war there has been a rp
markable increase in the amount of
marine insurance written in New York.
most of it previously having been
issued in London. But the demands of
shippers for tne limited amount of in?
surance the marine companies are wil?
ling to issue has sent rates soaring.
and incidentally furnished a lucrative
business for insurance brokers.
? ? mony yesterday revealed that
insurance issued by marine insurance
companies at a rate of 16 per c?.'nt was
reissued by brokers for as much as 30
per cent, the 14 per cent difference,
for which they assumed no risk, being
pure velvet.
H. J. Drake, counsel for the In
surance Department, who came from
Albany to attend the hearing, said the
testimony would furnish basis for
remedial legislation.
A bill pendit;-* at Albany designed
to bring mar.tie insurance within the
Jurisdiction of the Sta'e Insurance De?
partment will have to be supplemented,
in his opinion, wit: further legislation
to furnish remedies for exist tig condi
t i o n s.
None o? the evidence introduced in
dicates any criminal offence, beca ese
the brokers ?-ave been abic to keep
within the law and yet clear more
money than the insurance companion
charge for premiums. It was brought
out that brokers usually buy up all
available provisional insurance, so
that shippers, to get any insurance at
all, are forced to pay exorbitant rates
