Cotton futures opened steady at a decline 5 to 10 points on poor cables. Long3 were inclined to take profits around the first call and the market took cn rather a soft tone. Support was offered by leading bull interests who werr nrnnrnirorl T.v th a mnw Vinnofnl acounts from Lancashire regarding the labor situation. The weather over the cotton region was- extremely un favorable, snow, rain and temperatures below freezing being reported over a wide area while the chances seemed gocd for the storm to sweep the entire belt and cause further delay to farm work. This and the buying by bulls checked the decline. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were S to 10 points down. The market became very steady around the middle of the morning on reports of an active and widespread spot demand. Some of the principal interior markets sent in telegrams sta ting that spot shorts were covering and buying everything in sight. Large sales were reported after hours yes terday. This gave the future market suden strength and caused buying for both accounts on a large scale. The decline was made up and a net ad vance of 6 to 13 points established. Longs took profits on this upturn that put the trading months to a level 2 to 8 points over yesterday s close.

General unrest, among the 25,000 textile opera tives of thiscity developed into dis turbances at the Washington and Wood Mills of the American Woolen Company today. Striking operatives became demonstrative in the spin ning rooms and a riot cal for the po lice was sent. Several of the overseers were injured in hand to hand encoun ters.

Missies of all descriptions were hurled and sev eral officers were hurt. During the dis turbance a dozen arrests were made. At noon 15,000 operatives in the city were Idle. , The outbreak is due to a reduction in wages necessitated, the mill own ers say, by a cut in the running time from 56 to 54 hours a week com pelled by the new state law. Today thousands of striking Ital ian operatives took possession of the two big plants and,- swarming through the various departments, en deavorade to induce all employes to abandon their machines.

The police were greatly outnumber ed. -It was more than an hour before the officers, by freely using their clubs, were able 'to drive out the dis orderly element from the plants. Soon after the trouble started at the wood mills practically the entire force of five thousand hands left their machines, fearing further vio lence. 'A body of 500 Washington mill strikers assembeld at the Wood mill gates, shouting and yelling. The crowd then marched to the Ayer mills, where they stormed the Ayer gates and swept inside; Many of the Ayer mill employes, through fear, abandoned their wrork, but in a short time thep lant was cleared of the demonstrators, . The outlook became so threatening that at 11 o'clock the .Wood and Ayer mills , were shut down. These plants employ 7,500 persons. When the mob was ejected . from the Ayer mills the leaders ordered a march on the , large cotton mills of the Pacific corporation,, .which em ployes 6,000 hands. ., ' At noon It was estimated that near ly 10,000 operatives were idle.
