COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. May 21.-The cotton market
opened firm and 2@5 points higher on brisk
covering and some bull support. Nevertheless
there was still response to strong Liverpool
cables and exceedingly small receipts at all
points. After moments hesitation the whole
market developed decided strength and worked
rapidly higher until July reached sos. Wall
Street sold at the start, but later became
large buyer of the summer months. Spot cot
ton houses and export interests bid for large
blocks of May and June contracts. but We're un-
able to get more than few struggling lots.
The South and Europe too, bought in the local
ring. Proft.taking later sent prices of 4G5
points. but early in the afternoon the market
again exhibited bulish tendencies and advanced
point by point on nervous demand from thor
oughly alarmed shorts. Peace news from Lon
dom report that Southern spot markets were
stronger on heavy demand from all quarters,
with better access from dry goods and spot
cotton goods centers. created feeling of conf
dence In bull circles. but greatly disturbed the
BEARS who had counted upon the fine weather
to check any SPECULATIVE buying. In the last
hour the whole list advanced rapidlv. with July
UP to o O3 and August S.7S3. Trading was very
active with Wall Street hears presumably large
buyers. Jump OF q points In New Orleans
to o SO for July. followed reports that exporters
and spinners were buying contracts as hedge
against needed supplies of actual cotton. The
local market closed steady and net 6@IS points
higher. Total sales were estimated at 300, coo
bales. with the new crons attracting more at
tention than Mt any previous day this year.

POWER BY CANAL

The GOVERNOR HAS A SCHEME
Report of the Torrens Land Trans
fer Commission-Other Matters In
Nebraska of More or Less lmpor'
lance.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. Ex-Governor
Savage gave out a prepared interview,
in which he his intention
of presenting to the next legislature
the matter of issuing state bonds for
the construction of a water power can
al and irrigation works. He recites
the manifold advantages that would
flow from the existence Of a great
manufacturing center in Nebraska,
and the necessity of cheap power to
the existence of such a center. The
Platte river, according to the COVER
nor, has power to drive the wheels of
thousands of factories, and this is
daily going to waste. By the con.
struction of a canal from some point
near Fremont, the power al be deliv-
cred at a point neal the Missouri riv-
er, probably Omaha-although the
governor does not say so-and imme-
diately institutions for the turning OF
Nebraska's raw materials into finished
products will spring into existence. No
particular sections of the state are des'
ignated as the prospective beneficiar-
les of the irrigation project, but the
water that now flows into the Mis-
souri, through the Platte and other
streams is to be utilized to the end
that the waste places shall blossom
and the ground that is now useless
shall become productive, hat acres
now arid shall yield bountiful returns
for the toll of the husbandman and
the land shall TEEN with plenty
throughout the length and breadth
thereof.

TIE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations from South Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA


C~attle-There was not a heavy run of
cattle. so that the market was fairly act
i've and prices steady to strong on all de-
sirable grades of killers. Buyers were out
early, and IL was not long before the ulk
of the offerings had been disposed OF.
There were quite a few beef steers in
cluded in the receipts, but the better
grades sold freely at steady to strong
prices. The COW market took on consid-
cradle life, and anything at all good sold
at steady TO strong prices. Buyers all
seemed to be anxious for the choicer
grades, and as offerings were limited
there was considerable competition.
Stockers and feeders were in rather light
receipt. 80 that steers of good weight and
quality sold readily at firm prices. There
was no improvement. however. In the de-
mand for the common and lightweight
stockers, and prices were uneven. the
same as they have been all along. Sellers
are obliged to take whatever they can
get, as it is hard to even get a bid on
common stOckers. The demand from the
country is almost entirely for the good
to choice heavyweight cattle, and for that
reason spectators are very slow about
buying the common grades.
AAOSS ~ vas Il Suppl9 VI
hogs. but the market opened fully &c
higher and active. Packers all seemed to
be anxious for the hogs, and as a result
1t was not long before the bulk of the
offerings had changed hands. The good
weight hogs sold largely from $6.25 to
1913, and as high as $G.45 was paid. The
medium weights sold from $50 to $500,
and the lighter loads went from Sc. 10
down. Along toward the last end Of the
market the feeling was not so good, and
on the extreme close the advance was
practically ali lost and the last few loads
sold slowly. The hogs that were left
until the last. however, were mostly
hghtweights and of common quality.

DEFICIENCY BILL IN SENATE.
House Amendments to Measure Disa
greed Upon.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-When the
senate convened yesterday it dis.
agreed to the amendments of the house
on the urgency deficiency bill, agreed
to the conference asked and appointed
Senators Hale, Allison and Teller as
conferees on the part of the senate.
At the conclusion of routine bust,
ness Mr.. Patterson of Colorado made
a personal explanation Of what he had
said concerning government affairs
toward the treason and sedition laws
enacted by the Philippine commission.
Governor Taft, he said, had made a
statement before the Philippine com
mission, in which he said that Mr.. Pat
terson, inadvertently, no doubt, had
conveyed a wrong impression to the
senate and to the country as to his at
titude toward those laws.
Mr.. Patterson's statement, Cover.
0 Taft said, had put him in the
attitude of criticising his colleagues on
the committee. The particular stat.
ute was enacted while he was i'll, but
by anything he may have said he did
not intend to convey the impression
that he was opposed to laws enacted.
The responsibility for their enact,
ment was as much his as of his col,
leagues.

The letter states that two large es-
