general desire was to sell, no matter
what price the cotton offered for sale
brought. Hundreds Of thousands of
bales of cotton were thrown into the
ring and the sellers exceeded buyers
ten to one.
The mad scene lasted until well to-
ward the close of the market, when the
ring finally had soId-out appearance.
At this stage the bull leaders again
took hand and by buying everything
offered and by strenuous bidding quick
~ sent prices up so points The mar
ket, however, had a weakening tone and
the prices again sagged toward the
close. At the close prices were from
IA to l68 points lower than yesterday.
hundreds of thousands of dollars are

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE ON TUESDAY
question Of Extra Session for Re-

est lmport-Two New Senators to
BE Sworn In-openlna More Ex-
elusive Than Heretofore.


washington Dec. 4.-The national
solons have gathered for the second
and last session of the Fifty-eighth
congress which will be convened at
noon tomorrow.
The senate and house, as prim as
the parlor Of a fine country home,
awaits the gathering of the hosts who
expect to work hard, but will probably
accomplish little in the legislative
line, aside from passing the great sup
ply bills.
All summer long, while the mem
bers Of congress. were out on the
stump, force of workmen have been
busy at the capitol, replacing old car
pets with new ones, refuTnishing the
decorations and couches and polishing
up the desks.
When the legislative bodies assem-
BILE tomorrow it will be to find the
chambers and committee rooms in the
pink of perfection.
The presidents message will not be
read tomorrow, for the opening ses-
sion will be brief.
There have been no deaths in the
lower house, since adjournment in
the spring, but the senate has lost
two of its prominent members, George
F. Hoar, of Massachusetts,, and Mat
thew Stanley Quay, of Pennsylvania.
For this reason only routine business
will be transacted and adjournment
taken until Tuesday, at which time
the message will be read.
In the senate the new members, p.
G. Knox, of Pennsylvania, and Mr..
Crane, of Massachusetts,, will be
sworn in.
Though brief in duration, the event
is one of the greatest formalities, en-
acted with unusual elaboration in the
sight of crowded galleries.
The opening this year will be more
exclusive than heretofore. Because
the reseating arrangements in the
house galleries decreased the accom-
modations the general public will not
be part of the ceremony. Admis-
sion on that side Of the capital will be
by card, only two to member having
been issued.
Aside from the regular business the
session will be one of unusual import
ance, for before it's death, on March
4, will be fought out with the presi-
dent the question of an axtra session
of congress and revision of the tariff.
The president has not receded, but
the legislators as rule are declaring
for stand-pat policy. They may de
eide to determine the question by a
caucus.
1t is understood that President
Roosevelt is not opposed to congress
assuming the responsibility with the
proviso that his attitude in favor of
revision be made known.
