NEW YORK April I.—The cotton market
Opened steady at unchanged prices to a de-
cline of 6 points which was a very poor re-
Bponse to better cables than expected under
continued scattering liquidation and local
bear pressure. Unfavorable domestic mill ad-
vices and talk of an easier turn in southern
•pot markets late yesterday appeared to en-
courage selling but at the initial decline
there was a good demand and the market
rallied to a net advance of about 4(0 points
during the middle of the morning. Some of
the Wall street houses which recently have
be mi large sellers appeared to be covering
•nd one of the leading bull brokers who has
recently figured prominently as a seller of
July mor also a good buyer on the rally.

NEW ORLEANS April I.—Cotton futures
Opened steady and unchanged to two points
down. Cables were about as expected and
the weather map indicated rains in Texas
and more seasonable temperatures every-
where in the cotton country. This stimulated
selling on the first call but immediately af-
ter the market acted oversold and shorts who
wanted to cover over Sunday found little for
sale. Their bids caused prices to strengthen
•nd at the end of the first half hour the

SATURDAY
UP-TO-THE-MINUTE MARKET NEWS
JOBBERS ARE BUSY WITH
ADDING MACHINE AND LEDGER
First of Month in Wholesale
District Finds Quiet Trade.
Apples Very Scarce.
The first of the month usually finds
the wholesaler burled in the depths
of his ledgers and the click of the
adding machine as it reels off totals
of the long month's business is the
principal feature of the local ttade
district. Saturday is never a very busy
day as far as the wholesaler is Con-
cerned for the retailer purchases his
supplies for the week-end country
trade usually on Friday and very lit-
tle but fill-In orders ever come the
Jobbers' way. Consequently trade on
the local produce markets this morn-
ing was quiet.
The local market ends the week
with an apple scarcity and the Re-
mand for this fruit is strong. What
will perhaps be the last carload to
this market this season is due to at-
rive Monday leaving prospects for an
unusually high apple quotation full)-
assured.
Jack Gugenheim. in company with
several other well-known produce
men returned this .morning from an
automobile trip from San Antonio to
.Seguin and reports crop conditions in
this vicinity the best in ten years.
"Corn’’ said Mr. Gugenheim “is three
inches high while cotton everywhere is
up and everything shows the best
signs of prosperity. Farmers are over-
joyed and many say that they can not
remember when the crops in March
have looked so well. All are assured
of a bumper crop and from present
indications they will not be disap-
pointed"
According to a prominent jobber
this morning practically 90 per cent
of the last government contract for
rations and supplies has been can-
celled with which was the entire con-
tract for canned goods. The commis-
sar)’ authorities say that they over-
judged the amount of rations needed
and in reality it was not necessary
to let the last contract at all.
A special from Laredo the great
onion-producing district of the United
States says: "The outlook for onions
now is that there will bo an Increase
of 20 per cent in this section over
1910. The thrip is getting in its dead-
ly work but it is believed that the
rapid growth of the plants will offset
any damage. Shipments have begun
this week and will be general by
Monday."
The farmers of this section are
making preparations for a bumper
canteloupe crop and ft is estimated
that the production will equal fully
75 carloads.
Texas eggs seem to be making a
hit in New York Flatonia hat ing
shipped fourteen carloads this sea-
son for which the shipper received
more than a satisfactory price.
The first carload of new potatoes to
be shipped out of the Brownsville val-
ley this season and the first solid car-
load shipped in Texas this year was
sent from San Benito last Tuesday.
According to a Brownsville farmer
who is in the city today the potatoes
were extra fine quality and should
bring high prices. There is consider-
able acreage in the valley this spring
and the outlook is for a record yield.
The Pruitt Commission Co. re-
ceived today a car of bananas a car
of cabbage and a car of potatoes.

COUNTYBILL VETOED
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.)
AUSTIN Tex. April I.—Governor'
Colquitt this morning filed with the J
secretary of state the bill exempting i
Hunt county from the county audi-1
tor's act. He vetoed the bill on the I
ground that under the constitution I
Hnnt county cannot be exempted by |
special act from the operation of this ।
general act.
Governor Colquitt will this after-1
noon veto the bill appropriating $25-
000 for the completion of the anota-
tlon of the statutes. He finds that the!
appropriation Is for the completion of (
this work and does not provide for I
the printing of the revised and anno-
tated statutes completed thus far.
He also has marked to veto the bill
restricting the employment of persons
upon public works for more thun
eight hours a day. He believes that
the bill abrogates the right of contract
and does not believe that a man
should be forbidden to work ten hours
If he gets extra time and so Je-
slres.
