STATEMENT WILL CAUSE MUCH
DISCUSSION DURING THE RE
MAINDER OF THE SESSION.
Washington, February chairman
Cannon, of the appropriations commit
tee of the House, in the course of d
general debate on the sundry civil bill
to-day, sounded a note of warning
against the eXtravagant appropriations
and practically served notice that
neither the ship subsidy bill nor the
Nicaraguan canal bills could be passed
al this session. Although he specihcal-
ly diselaimed speaking for any one buc
himself, the statements he made, COM
ing from the chairman of the appro-
priations committee, caused great in
terest. Mr.. Cannon made a general
statement of the revenues and expendi-
lures for the fiscal year. including Sec
rotary Cages estimate of the deficiency
in the revenues from $112,000,000 20
$159 100000, exclusive of the $4,000
600 to be paid TO Spain under the pro-
visions of the treaty of Paris. Mr..
Grosvenor of Ohio, Mr.. Hepburn OF
Iowa, and Mr.. w A Smith of Michigan,
although they did not enter into any
lengthy discussion, took issue with Mr..
Cannon, but he maintained that our
revenues might be sufficient TO meet
our expenditures for the next two years
if no new lines of expenditure were en-
tered upon. But he indicated that it
would be a close margin and that new
expenditures might mean bond issue.
Mr.. Cannon's speech was in every way
notable one, and will doubtless fur
nish the text for a good deal of discus
sion during the remainder Of the ses-
sion.
The general debate on the sundry
civil bill was not concluded to-day.
Before it was taken up quite number
of minor bills were passed by unana-
nous consent. The bill appropriatina
$125,0OO for a public guiding at AL
toona, Pa, YVES passed.
Throughout its open session to-day
the Senate had under consideration the
legislatye( executive and judicial APP
preparation bill. A lively debate was
precipitated over the debate for the
support of the Office of supervising
architect of the treasury, and that Of
fetal was criticised for the delay in the
construction Of public buildings
throughout the United States
A speech made by Mr.. Allen (Neb),
in which he commented unfavorably
upon the methods of the appropriations
committee, induced a rejoinder from
Mr.. Chandler On H, which resulted
in sharp tilt between the two Sena-
tors. Fifty-one pages Of the pending
bill we're disposed Of before the Senate
went into executive session for the re-
mainder Of the day.

Local Stocks and Bonds
Cotton Letter

By Leaser Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agent.
 Birmingham, January 4.-Liverpool closed one-half down for futures, with spot sales Of 12,OOO bales at unchanged prices. The opening here was at slight concessions from last nights closing, but upon estimated 1e- cetpts of only 50000 bales vs. 79, ,296 last year. The local crowd again bought and some scalpers covered their shorts, which re- suited in considerable activity and an ad- vance of from ? to 4 points. After the second call the market again became nar- row, which was accompanied by some real izing and the market receded to about last nights prices with most options closing at that parity. Commission houses are still advising purchases all slight declines and it is thought that when the stock mar ket becomes quiet there will be more &C., tivity In this commodity.

Paine. Murphy x Co. s Grain Letter

By Private Wire to Paine. Murphy & Co.
 Birming gham, January 4.-Cables were one penny off, and the opening was heavy with small business done. The local crowd were inclined to scalp the short side on the first hours business, which was chiefly con- fined to this class of trading. After the noon hour predictions of a cold wave in all the middle western states caused covering by early sellers, and also brought in buy ing orders from the northwest, and this caused an advance of a cent bushel which was held throughout the rest of the session, with indications of further ad- vonces tomorrow. The corn market ruled heavy continued profit taking, which was started yesterday morning. Cables were weak and buyers scarce on the open ing, but later systematic covering upon the strength of wheat caused fractional ad- vance, but the closing was barely steady. Provisions, Mhile dull, showed considerable strength, and the closing was at about the best for the day.

in Wall sstrse-.


 New York, January 4.-Stocks were reac- tionary in the forenoon, but forged strongly upwards in the afternoon led by high priced specialties, including Brooklyn Transit. Su- gar and Tobacco. The opening was irreg- ular with a tendency both here and in Lon don to take profits and prices reacted mod erately after the initial trading. Profess sionals sought diligently to report stop loss orders. Many shares eased off consider ably, but a number of stocks showed marked resistance, notably Brooklyn Tran sit, Pullman, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chi cago and St. Louis and Great Northern pre- ferred. St. Paul maintained a point ad- vance on it's remarkable statement for the fourth week in December, showing in- crease of nearly $252,OOO in gross earnings. A better tone developed in the afternoon and continued until the close. Brooklyn Transit made a total gain of points on its showing of an increase of $664,657 in its gross earnings for the year. There were insistent rumors of a pending deal which insiders would not discuss, but there were intimations that the control of surface and elevated lines in Brooklyn night come into the hands of the company. Pittsburg, Gin cinnati, Chicago and St. Louis advanced points on confident buying, which it was conjectured, was due to desire of the parent company (Pennsylvania) to form closer union with it's western lines. While there were large gains in many cases and the closing was strong, the advance ill standards was generally moderate. The rise in wheat stimulated interest in many of the western railroad shares. The advance of points in American Tobacco was unac- companied by any new developments in the property. There were large purchases by interests identified with the company and the movement was thought to be man. ipulation against the short interest, which has recently been created by the forma- tion of rival concessions. The Reading stocks were pressed for sale in the early hours and declined sharply. These shares failed to respond to the subsequent general show of strength
 The bond market lapsed into dullness to- day, but there is abatement of the re- cent pronounced strength. Total sales S3- 9oo,OOO United States 2s registered declined II and the 3s and the new As registered 1s in the bid price. New As coupon advanced A

New York, January f.-English cables hardly met expectations, spot quotations at Liverpool being scarely supported, whlle the future market there was finally half point lower. The substantial feature or the cable news was the continued safes to spinners, today's aggregate being 12OOO bales. Under this influence the opening call here started off at a decline Of a point or two, but the feeling became firmer as the call progressed, with the finish show ing an advance of points on the remote positions. Subsequently the market work ed within narrow fluctuations and showed a lack of outside interest Wall street buying, which for some time past has been a supporting factor was not fea- ture today. Immediately following the call the market sagged and at one time showed a loss of points reports of less favorable conditions in southern spot markets of inn belt and receipts meet expectations con- tributing to the easier feeling. Later, shorts became little nervous and steadied the market materially on buying, followed by indications of light receipts and con tinued cheering accounts from the cotton goods markets and New England spinning districts. The market closed quiet and steady points higher to 2 points lower.
