LOCAL COTTON \
in spite of the prevailing high prices
in the cotton market yesterday there
wag no ootton brought in for the rea-
son that there is no more cotton to be
brought in, outside of a possible 100
bales. All the cotton in the yard has
been sold, and the season may be re-
garded as practically closed. MIddHng

they came to the wilderness of the past
and caused such . magnificent results
and would do more in the future if not
burdened.
Senator Willacy stated that the pas-
senger business is a loss to the rail-
roads. and should not be made mhore
so; then why do it and injure the pro-
ducer by further postponing his lower
freight rates? He said the movement
is at least ten years too soon, and to
reduce the passenger fares would be an
unfortunate blow at the Texas farmer
and producer and deny him his heeded'
freight rates. He had voted against
placing a proviso in the Santa Fe
merger forbidding it to enjoin the com-
mission’s rates because it would have
been a discrimination.
Senator Harbison said he had In-
tended making an extended speech, but
that Senator Willacy had very nearly
covered the ground. He said it was
popular with politicians to fight the,
railroads; but that to defend them yas,
entirely different. .1
At this Juncture Governor Campbell
cam in and occupied a seat in the
lobby, engaging Senator Stokes in con-
withdrawal of my injunction against

ing a decision of the issues involved
and the granting of a permanent in-

New York, May —The cotton mar-
ket was quite active again today, sales
being estimated at 860,000 bales.
Prices made a new high record for the
movement in the early session, but
eased off later with the close steady
at a decline of 4 point to an advance
of 5 points.
The opening was steady at an ad-
vance of 4 to 9 points, with covering
active and some buying for fresh ac:
count on the higher cables and reports
of too much rain in the south. Private
cables from Liverpool report that
spinners were unwilling to follow the
advance and smaller English spot
sales promoted some realising and a
little selling for a turn at the advance
but expectations of a -bullish weekly
bureau sustained prices pretty well
until midday when offering increased.
The forecast for warmer weather in
the south and a rather less bullish
weekly report than looked for were
selling motives later, but after easing
off to a net decline of about 1 to 4
points the near months were steadied
by a renewal of ball support and ru-
mors regarding a possible corner in the
July option which closed about 5
points up from the lowest.
Southern spot markets were un-
changed to 1-8 higher. Private reports
of crop damage continued very numer-
ous. but some wire expressed the
opinion that damage reports are ex-
aggerated and this helped to weaken
the new crop positions during the aft-
ernoon.
Receipts at the ports today were
12,421 bales, against 22.509 last week
and 14.504 last year.

Senator Glasscock vigorously opposed ;
the bill as unfair and^unjust and a

legacy. He favored the amendment,
because it liberalized the bill. He .
condemned the bill as imposing a tax i
on the industry of those who would

the United States supremo court held

passenger rates for the several classes.

New York, May 7.—The professional
operators in stocks had the market
much to themselves today. They found
the line of least resistance to be down-
ward and accordingly sold stocks and
offered prices down to seek a profit on
the short side of the market. The sen-
timent of the day wa3 one of depres-
sion fostered by several considera-
tions. Probably the most effective of
these was the abandonment of the re-
cent operations fur the rise in a hand-
ful f stocks, which have made up the
largest proportion of the dealings for
a considerable time past.
Crop prospects continued to be a
disturbing influence in the stock mar-
ket. The longshoremen’s strike was
regarded as an unimportant incident
in its possible effect on traffic center-
ing here. Covering by shorts caused a
recovery of part of the day’s declines:
Atchison developed some positive
strength, attributable to favorable
views of the convertible bond issues.
