l was a member of the legal affairs
committee Mr.. Macomber came to me
and certainly it will never be ques.
toned that Mr.. Macomber is cOnser-
vative sort of man-and said to me
Mr.. Reynolds. object to the passage
of that bill as it stands, for this reason
only. that | want put into that bill
teeth stronger than are there;
that / want something there that will
fasten it down more exactingly. This
abominabie business ought to be stop
ped and l want this bill to help stop
it," We have discussed that from day
to day and at last Mr.. Macomber
agreed to the proposition of the COM
mittee, as | took it at the time. that ii
was better to have part of what you
wanted rather than to hazard the
whole of what you wanted. so we
thought it wise to take the first step
in this line. and l am satisfied that
Mr. Macomber believes that it is first
step and good one. l will say this
further. and will not bother you long
er, that l understand this is practically
the New York law. that it has been
tested there and found successful in
its operation.
Mr. BLANCHARD: | know moth
ing about any individual members
standing upon this measure in the
House. I only know that we have
about us body of reporters. who l be-
lieve understand the value of the
measures as they go through the differ
ent branches. and l simply read from
this paper. which was in yesterday s
News, referring to the Morey bill:
This measure passed the House after
having been several times tabled, and
| then only on the strength of the state
ment that the Senate would kill the
bill when it reached that body"
should judge that they would under
stand the sentiment of the House as
well. perhaps, as any one individual
member and while l do not wish to
| enter into any further discussion OF
| the question. although / wish that ]
might have the time. l find after read
| ing it carefully through to ascertain
its purpose and intent. that if there is
anything of real value and worth in
| the bill. l can say that I think it falls
| far short of the mark for which it was
| intended
The question being upon yea and
| nay vote, the motion was agreed to-
| and a yea and nay vote was ordered
upon the question of the second read
| ing of the bill. The vote was as fol-
| lows:
YEAS-Fernald, Grndle. Hargraves
Hurd. King. Merrill, Plummer, Reynolds
Sharp. Stearns, Weeks, White, Witham
Young. Total, n.

Nickery. Whitehouse. Total. IA.
| ABSENT-Drummond, Dudley. Total, 2
And IA voting in the affirmative and
IA in the negative. the motion was lost
Mr.. BLANCHARD: l now move
that the bill be Indefinitely postponed
| Mr.. REYNOLDS: hope that it will
not be indefinitely postponed. | will
not ask the senator to hold it. but
will ask for a vote upon indefinite post
ponement.
And L. voting in favor of indefinite
postponement and IA against, the mo-
| ton to indefinitely postpone was lost
and the bill was laid on the table
! On motion by Mr.. Stearns of Aroos-

Our market opened at 6.34 for De- eemher. advanced to 6S7 and on general profit taking by longs eased off to 6S4, at which juneture the weekly government pu- reau was made known, and it being ot a hulllsh character, advanced prices to O.3I for December, at which level there was re- newed selling for long accounts and prices receded. The bears worked hard for a lower market today, and, armed wlt5 fake rumor to the effect that Vice Presi- dent Hobart was dead, depressed prices to Bsl for December. Following this came rumors that the Boers had invaded Natal which rumor served It's purpose. It Is just such announcements that we are afraid or, for whether they be true or not they are made good use of. It Is believed that the whole south is long of cotton and were the bears able to force the market to level that would bring out stop orders there IS mo telling where the break would stop Those who have profits would do well to realize and wait for a reaction to go Tn again on n lower basis.

COTTON MARKET
 SLIGHTLY ERRATIC
Strength Was Pronounced All
 Through Inc Day.
AN INCREASE IN BUYING
Shorts Confused by Smaller Receipts and Predictions of Frost in tho Belt-Close Steady, unehang-
 ed to 3 Points Higher

Now York, September eo-rhe cotton market today was somewhat erratlc but showed pronounced strength from opening to close. 1lulieh sentiment continued to broaden and fresh buying increased apaoe, Weak cables, foreign pressure bear oppo- sitloh, war talk and declarations that prices were nnIustlnably higher all failed to dis tnrb prices to any considerable extent or to dlsnlaee the confidence of tho bull fao- ton.
 Shorts, on tho other hand were confused by tho smaller receipts, predictions for frost In the northweat belt for tonight and a vury bulllsh weekly government report, The latter factor formed the basis for heavy Wall street, southern New England and foreign buying, on which prices ads vaneed 3 to 10 pointa, after opening un- changed to S points higher. Proht-talSng was a conspicuous feature of the days speculation, many thousand bales being put on the market al various times, though at no time causing wealtneas A bad slump In the Liverpool market at tho opening was said to have grown out of bear raid, tho oflglnators of which were Manchester and Continental eplnnefH,
 ono story which gained more or less oredenee here stated that Liverpool and New York bears had combined forces In an effort to depfesH Liverpool and thereby influence sentiment on thle alde, The small port receipts were looked upon aa signlIl- cant feature and thoroughly In line with small crop estimates, With few exceptions spot cotton in southern markets was l-lo to ii higher, with a tremendous puHlness renorfed the latter mostly for export ae- count The weekly government crop ana weather report stated hat under faVora- ble weather conditions cotton picking had made rapid progress Nearly tho whole or the crop is open and the bulk has been gathered over large portion of the cotton region.
 The marked features of thia seasons crop are premature opening, carly shlhef- ing and a very short top crop the lhttef in some sections being n complete failufe, The market closed steady not unchanged to points higher,
