MOST ISSUES START STEADY Pressure Develops After Initial Hour of Trade. NEW YORK. Feb. 2?.—Tbe stock market showed little change at the opening today, the leading issues selling aroundSaturday's final figures. After the start pressure developed against many stocks. Reading sold up % of a point to 73% and was then forced down to 72. Atlantic, Gulf declined 1% points to 44%. Steel common, selling ex-dlvldend 1% per cent, yielded % of a point to 82*4. Fractional improvement was made by Baldwin at Do and Crucible at 02. Studobaker advanced 1 point to 60 and then fall to 59%. International I’aper continued in demand. selling up % of a point to 57%. Southern Pacific Rights and l’acific Oil were both in brisk demand, the Rights advancing to 17% and Pacific Oil ranged from 31 % to 32%. Chandler was in supply, declining 1% points to 68%. Central Leather yielded 1 point to 38. Mexican Petroleum opened down 1.4 a roint at 157% and rallied to 157%. Invincible Oil was one of the strong features, being actively traded in and advancing % of a point to 22%. The bear element seemed to lose a good deal of their confidence after making a drive at Reading and during the ft st hour seemed to be waiting for an nr>> >-tnnltv. but stocks were in scant supe’y, Reading quickly coming back to 73. • iern Pacific Rights were traded in on a large scale, advancing from 16% to 17%, ami Pacific Oil moved up from 31% to 32%. American Locomotive moved up to 86% and Baldwin Locomotive advanced 1% points to 91%. United States Steel, after opening at 82%, advanced to 82%. St. Paul preferred moved up 1 point to 43 and there was a fair amount of business in Northern Pacific, which ranged from 83*4 to 83%. Sears-Roebuek was again taken as an object of an attack, falling 2% points to 76%, but rallied to above 77. Mexican Petroleum ranged from 157% to 159. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Feb. 28— There was renewed pressure at opeitning on a few issues Saturday, otherwise market was uneventful. Weakness that developed in Reading was unaccompanied by any explanatory information. The early selling was credited to foreign interests, but subsequently local traders participated and forced a further decline. The general volume of business was •moderate; the market looked professional, and the commission houses were less active even than on previous dull days. Some observers claim to be able to detect some accumulation of stock, but if it is so there is certainly no visible effect on values, and the only strength results from a moderate amount of short covering such as we had Saturday. We are slmpiv in the midst of a market where the public has lost interest, leaving the market to the mercy of the professional element, who usually try to operate along lines of least resistance. and conditions have favored them in depressing values. As business recovery has been slow, conditions in Europe are very unfavorable. There are, however, some elements in the situation that may result in gome good In the near future. Among these the gradual improvement in the credit situation is of utmost importance. While we see nothing very encouraging at the moment, we continue to feel that we have created a technical situation In the market, which will be mighty helpful the moment there Is least encouragement from business channels.

In the Cotton Market NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—Liverpool cables were mainly responsible for renewed heavy general liquidation at the opening of the cotton market today, under which first prices showed declines of 21 to 50 points. Liverpool and Japanese Interests wera large sellers and locals and Wall street interests, which had made purchases last week on tha theory that the Liverpool market had seen lts worst depression, liquidated their lines this morning. The south was a small seller. Shorts furnished the bulk of the demands, but this buying was insufficient to materially rally prices.

GRAIN FUTURES MAKE ADVANCES Opening Weak and Lower, Grains Later Gain Strength. CHICAGO, Feb. 2S. —Opening weak and lower, the result of reports of heavy receipts, grain prices advanced in later trading on the Board of Trade today, the result of cash demands on the decline and a reported increase In the weekly visible supply. Provisions were lower. , March wheat, opening down %e at $1.67%, advanced lc iu later trading. May wheat opened off lc at $1.56%, but gained l%c later. May corn opened at 68%e, off %c, and gained %c before the close. July corn opened off %c at 70%e aud advanced %c later. May oats, opening off %c at 44%e, gaiued %c before the close. July oats off %e, opened at 45%c, but gained %c subsequently. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Feb. 28Wheat —Friday's cables told of purchases or round lots of Argentine wheat by Germany at 15 to 20 cents ldss than United States varieties. In the face of this Gi-imany Saturday bought one cargo United States wheat Saturday. Whatever the reason for this demand, the simple taking of more of our small surplus Is distinctly worthy of consideration. The flour trade, both domestic and export, appears to be reviving. Southwestern mills claim a better demand than in four months. Chicago millers were more active in market and were taking some wheat from elevator accumulations. Economic conditions are still iu evidence to the extent that there is no breadth to the investment demand and ail operators wno are friendly are acting with caution. As a matter of fact, this makes a healthy market as th*re is no overconfident and needless demand. The statistical position shows so little available wheat that the market will be sensitive to any unfavorable conditions iu the present out look. It would stem that, the greater possibilities lie on the buying side of the uiarßet. Corn and Oats —The movement of corn from the country being so much larger than the demand from distributors or exporters, the market is not showing a good tone. Practically all advices from the Interior are to the effect that farmers have stopped selling, but this Is ignored in the face of the present heavy movement. There is not likely to be any particular strength In either corn or oats under the conditions now existing. Provisions —The strong hog market has been offset by the dullness In products aud the dragging tendency In corn. It Is believed that the movement of hogs from the country will decrease and that market will maintain Its present strong undertone. It Is also felt that the provision list will be In sympathy.

But little rain or snow has fallen during the first part of the month and the temperature has generally been high for I this season of the year. According to reports from various parts of the State, much plowing has been done and some maple sugar camps have been opened, although there has hardly been enough thawing and freezing to make conditions most favorable. Butchering has practically been completed. Because of low prices and the bad condition of the roads, but little corn is goI lng to th emarkets at the present time. Considerable corn would be fed, but there seems to be a shortage of stock hogs. Wheat plants are greening up nicely, but do not seem to be stoolTng satisfactorily, although soil conditions are generally very good, with the extremely high temperature Tor the season of the Iyear. The Hessian fly Is a serious menace In many counties. There has been but little damage done by the freezing and thawing. lt is in about the same condition as wheat. Young clover appears to have suffered no damage during the winter and is beginning to green up. Pastures are j looking exceptionally good. A hard freeze at this time of the year would seriously Injure fruit trees, whose buds are reported as swelling In some communities. According to reports, trees are otherwise developing. All live stock stems to be in good condition with the exception of a few scattered eases of hog cholera. Prices continue low and feeders are generally discouraged. Farm labor seems to be plentiful, but wnge demands are higher than the farmers are willing to pay. CHICAGO PRODUCE. CHICAGO, Feb. S2.—Butter—Creamery, extras, 51c; firsts, 51c; seconds, 30@38c.

HOUSTON PUTS DISCLOSURE UP TO SECY. COLBY (Continued From Page One.) the same to the Secretary of State as to his opinion that It be Incompatible with public Interest to make public.” Secretary Houston’s letter to Secretary Colby follows: ‘‘My Dear Mr. Secretary—The Judiciary Committee of the Senate has under consideration Bill S. 4890, which was Introduced by Senator Reed, and provides that there shall be revoked and rescinded the authority granted by section 2 of the Liberty bond acts authorizing loans to foreign governments. The bill further directs the Secretary of' the Treasury to cancel all credits and commitments made pursuant to said acts upon which money has not actually been paid to foreign governments, and directs bim not to make any new commitments, credits or advances under and by virtue of said acts. At the hearings, which by unanimous vote, as I understand, of the committee are being held in open session, Senator Reed has asked the Treasury for correspondence concerning the establishment of credits and the making of advances to certain foreign governments and the incurring by the Treasury of commitments in connection therewith. “So far as the Treasury is concerned for its ozvn sake there is no reason why its entire files should not be made public. The correspondence concerning foreign loans, however, involves the affairs of foreign governments aud has to do with our relations with them. In these circumstances it appears proper that the Department of State should have a l * opportunity of advising the Judiciary Committee of the Senate whether there is any part of the correspondence for which Senator Reed has asked which it is incompatible for the public Interest to make public. I have therefore prepared copies of files of such as I understand Senator Reed desires concerning loans to France, Greece, Italy and Liberia n*hand them to you herewith with the request that you examine and transmit to the Judiciary Committee of the' Senate so much of the correspondence therein contained as in your opinion it is not incompatible with the public Interest to make public. “At the hearing on the 21st mst. there was handled to the committees a file of copies of correspondence relating to loans to the Czecbo-Slovak Republic. I am suggesting to the chairman of the committee that before this is made public it be submitted to you for your consideration as to whether there is any part which it Is Incompatible with the public interest to make public. "I enclose a copy of my letter of today to Senator Nelson, chairman of the committee.” MAYOR JEWETT RECALLS OWN CAR PROMISES (Continued From rage One.) give their nickels to the street railway company. The board of works promised to Investigate this phase of the activity of Jitney busmen. THIRTY CARS RUN DURING KUSH HOURS. In the rush hours there are thirty cars in operation on the East Washington and only twelve on the West Washington line. This throws the two so far out of balance in the number of people handled that any plan for through service could include only part of the East Washington cars and possibly only part of the West Washington cars. Dr. Jameson drew from Mayor Jewett an admission that pressure from the merchants in West and East Washington, who would like to see passengers ride through the congested district into their sections, has stimulated the demand for the through service. The traction officials contended that very few of the people would ride clear through even though the service were established. In discussing the other proposed crosstown lines the mayor declared that he thought the East and West Michigan lines ought to be connected by widening narrow parts of Michigan street to conform to the widest parts in the center of the city, and building tracks therein to connect the points where the tracts now turn south out of Michigan street to run to the business district. The lnterurbans coining into the city over Massachusetts avenue could be routed across Michigan street to Illinois street or Senate aienue and then to the Terminal station, so as to avoid tlie congested district in Ohio street now followed, the mayor suid, recalling a suggestion that has often been made heretofore. ESTIMATES 16.00(1 FEET OF NEW TRACK. Mr. Todd estimated that It would be necessary to build approximately 16.000 feet of new track, at a cost of about $200,0(0, to establish the Michigan street cross-town line. Thu traction officials assert that the company is in worse condition today than it was a year ago, so they do not see how they can expend this amount. The board modifle dand confirmed resolutions for the resurfacing of New York street, from Alabama street to East street; of Ft. Wayne avenue, from Alabama street to Tenth street; of Meridian street, from the first alley north of Merrill street to McCarty street, and of East street, from Washington street to Ohio street. Bids were received as follows: For Permanent Improvement of Boulevard Place from Fortieth to Forty-Sec-ond Streets—Mansfield Engineering Company, asphalt. $6.63 a lineal foot and American Construction Company. $6.55. For Permanent Improvement of Boulevard Place from Crown Hill Drive to Fortieth Street —Mansfield Engineering Company, asphalt, $7.30 a lineal foot and American Construction Company, $7.52. Resolutions for the yacutlon of the first alley south of Georgia street from East to Cook streets and of the first alley west of Harding street from avenue to a point 170 feet north were confirmed.

Lewis, chairman of the public service commission, stated he “doesn’t oven know what it is,” and it “was before his time.” The railroad commission no longer la existent, *and in view of the present rate tangle, it is hardly likely the Vandalia case will have Important application.
