NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—The cotton market
opened steady at a decline of 7011 points
and sold 8 to 13 points net lower during the
earlv trading under scattered liquidation and
bear pressure, inspired by lower cables than
expected and weakness in the stock market.
Selling seemed to be promoted also by the
circulation of notices against March contracts
estimated at about 75,000 bales, but there
was a good demand for that month around
13.73 and several houses were said to be
taking cotton up as fast as the notices
reached them. a
Prices during the middle of the morning
showed rallies of 3 or 4 points from the
lowest.
Jit was reported that while a good deal of
cotton being taken up on contract is for the
account of leading bull interests, consider
able is being taken by southern spot dealers.
The apparent demand for the local stock and
bullish southern spot advices helped the mar
ket during the forenoon and prices at one
time worked up to within 3@6 points of
last night’s finals, yet the market still seem
ed to be without any general support.

The into sight for the week was a shad?

large and southern spot markets officially
reported early were unchanged to one-six
teenth higher, but there was no revival of
general demand for futures and the market
during the early afternoon eased off to a
net decline of some 9@12 pdtnts under real

selling.

DECISION CAUSES
DECLINE IN STOCKS
Railroads Lose Heavily as Re
sult of Issue in Western
Cases, Market Excited.
Associated Presa.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24 —Refusal of the in
terstats commerce commission to grant high
er freight rates to the eastern and western
railroads was the signal for heavy setting of
securities at the opening today. Previous to
the opening there was extensive liquidation
of Americans in London, where prices .fell
from two to eight points.
The principal features of the opening were
U. S. Steel, which opened with a block of
30,000 shares at a loss of 4% points, Read
ing with 200 ghares at 152%, followed by
10,000 at 154 compared with 159%, last
night’s close, Union Pacific 5000 shares,
which sold down 4% points, large blocks of
Northern Pacific at a loss of 4%, Great
Northern preferred, which was off ?%• Le,
high Valley 5%. Missouri Pacific 5%, Wa
bash preferred 4%, Southern Pacific 4%,
Missouri. Kansas and Texas, St. Paul 4%,
Santa Fe and others declining with n range
of 2 to 8 points. The markot was active and
feverish with slight improvement after the
earlier quotations.
Commission houses were heavy sellers in
the market, the failure of customers to re
spond to margin calls compelling heavy liqui
dation. After the opening realising tho mar
ket began to reflect concerted support by
powerful interests and stocks were forced
upward despite much irregularity and fever
ishness in the process.
Fluctuations of half a point or more be
tween transactions were common. The top
point of the rally showed the list generally
up from 1 to 2 points from the low level
with Lehigh Valley, making an exceptional
rally of 3%. Speculative bonds suffered much
less proportionately than stocks. By 11
o'clock the market had quieted considerably
and showed a fair tone.
Reports of conferences among leading in
terests to arrange for all contingencies re
lieved the aggressiveness of bear operations.
Bonds were weak. Normal conditions prevail
ed in the stock market during the noon hour,
fluctuations bqing orderly and business much
restricted. Prices ruled at about the h’gh
rallying point of the forenoon.
The market closed active and firm.

Apples, Celery and Cauliflower
Also Show Upward Ten
dency. Market Good,
The cold spell seems to have given
the market on table commodities a
decidedly upward tendency and th*
wholesaler this morning Is asking ful
ly 5 cents higher on an average for
everything In the eatable line than he
was yesterday. The butcher con
tinues to advance the price for his
meats and the housewife this morn
ing paid several cents more for her
। beafst-’ak than she did yesterday or
I has In several weeks. Lard, potatoes,
i chickens, eggs and all varieties of
I green vegetables are higher and, ac
; cording to the wholesaler, stili higher
| prices are expected before .he week
is over.
The market on celery and cauli
flower is reported very strong. Ad
vices received from California this
morning are to the effect that only a
I few cars of celery are left in stock
and there is hardly any cauliflower
to be had. The quotation this morn
ing was up 5 cents per dozen on celery
and 12 l-2c on cauliflower.
The apple market is strengthening
very materially all over the country
and jobbers report extreme difficulty
in obtaining supplies. The condition
of the stocks on the local markets at
present is far from fancy. Fancy
winesaps are costing the jobber $2.80
per box delivered in San Antonio. Ben
Davis and Missouri Pippins are also
higher than last week.
On account of the extreme cold
weather at shipping points in Colo
rado. all varieties of Irish potatoes
have advanced from three to five
cents per hundred. Owing to what
stuff is rolling and to the unusually
good demand this and last week, job
bers have ordered very liberally. The
advance at the shipping points will
hardly be felt on this market.
Eggs are firming up and the sup
ply offered this morning Is somewhat
limited. Sales are being made readily
at 15 cents per dozen by the crate.
The market on grain and foodstuffs
in San Antonio Is steady and jobbers
report a good movement of their
stocks this week. Feeding is on in
full tilt all over the country now and
although futures are somewhat on the
decline at the centers, spots are very
firm and steady.
Poultry continues on the high
horse and receipts this morning were
unusually light. Under a heavy de
mand from hotels and restaurants,
the quotation for heavy hens is up
25 cents to $6 per dozen. Fryers are
also up a few cents and the demana
for all varieties is strong.
Pork continues lower all over the
country and although the cold snaps
of the last few days have given the
market for hogs some little strength,
the firmness is regarded as only tem
porary and the market Is bearish.
Pure lard on the local market Is down
to 11 cents.
The Pruitt Commission Co. this
morning received a car of bananas, a
car of apples and a car of cane seed.
The Gugenhein-Goldsmlth Co. re
ceived a car of apples.

Union Stock Yards, Feb. 24.—Re
ceipts In the cattle division here to
day were little better than those of
yesterday, something less than 140
head making up the supply. a s on
yesterday, rail shipments were very
light and again the (local feed pens
had to supply the market. The stock
offered In all divisions, while very de
sirable in quality, lacked a great deal
In quantity and many of the early
morning's buyers had to go without
supplies. The general tone of the
trading, while it lasted, was steady
and active with cows going generally
at $3.60 and calves at the $4.50 mark.
Hogs to the extent of fifty head wer*
weighed at generally $7.
When the yards opened this morn
ing tho feeling .among the salesmen
was for a well supplied market, for
with the light runs of yesterday and
the day before skimping the trade.
It was reasoned that shippers who
study the market, and most of them
do directly after a rain, would set,
the opportunity of unloading a big
bgneh of goo£ stuff to a fiije profit,
and ship. The early trains unloaded
a car of cows and calves mixed from
Uvalde, privileged this market, al
though billed to Fort Worth. This
was a fair start and for the first few
hours of the trading things looked
rather bright for a good run. Later
trains were without supplies and the
noon count found the market at a
standstill. Everything had been sold
or contracted for and the afternoon
market was without avent.
The official statement of today's
market is as follows:
Cows —Market steady to strong;

women's dresses and other plunder.
He was put In jail and soon there
after his wife went back to Okla

WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH
LAMB AND MUTTON?
Associated Press. .
Chicago. 111.. Feb. 24—Not in the
dim and distant past, it was the wont
' of happy ragttmers to warble:
i “Of all the meat that's good to eat, |
Fr< m turkey down to ham.
The one that tickles my palate the
moa*
Is lamb, lamb, lamb.”
But the song is not popular now.
Neither Is lamb, nor the parent ißeat.
mutton. If the Prices being I«ld at
the Chicago stock yards for sheep and |
lambs are any indication.
Mutton ought to be the poor man s
moat under present conditions, but he
either docs not want it or retail prices
are not commensurate with the prices
nt the yards. ... . . |
A year ago specially fat lambs sold I
at $9 to $lO. Now at $5.50 they go <
a begging. Buvers will net pay more j
than $4.25 for fine fat sheep, which
a year ago thev were clamoring to buy
at » 8 - . _
Reason: Last year American house
wives wanted best grade lamb and
mutton; this year they don't buyers
say.
