Tn executive officials of Western lines
have taken the Western grain rate war in
hand with a view to applying rigorous
measures to restore harmony and normal
tariff. At a preliminary meeting held on
Saturday, presided over by Paul Morton,
second vice president of the Santa Fe, a
committee was appointed with full power
to act. This committee, of which A. c..
Baird, traffic director for the Gould lines,
is director, is to take steps to end the war.
President Stickney, of the Chicago Great
Western, is to be asked TO attend the. con-
ference. There is hope, however, of induce
ing Mr.. Stickney to abandon his efforts to
establish a grain market at Omaha, but it
is hoped that the effort will result i'm in
ducing the interests which are apparently
fighting this project to view the matter in a
different light. Having built a line to Oma-
ha, the Great Western naturally desires to
participate in the tonnage from the Mis-
souri, river territory and the roads having
through lines from points west naturally
do not like the prospect of dividing the
traffic originating beyond Omaha and des-
tined TO points east.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The cotton market
opened quiet at a decline of to y points on
liquidation and room-selling in the absence of
bull support. Cables were a little below expec-
~tations, and receipts for the day were rather
heavier. and there was further expectation of
trouble.
These factors seemed to restrict outside buy
ing orders, and later the heavy estimate for
Houston excited a bearish influence, so that prices
continued to work downward until shortly after
" el-directed bear drive brought about heavy
liquidation, while sentiment was further unset
tied by runCrs of disagreement among New Or
leans bull leaders.
The report of the Census Bureau also had a
bearish effect on sentiment. showing that the
average weight OF the bales was about 20 lbs in
excess of last years. Trading was not more
there seemed little or no demand except for
shorts taking profits, and the market closed at
the bottom. a net decline of 40 to 1O9 points, with
the tone weak.
Al the lowest July sold at 12.ssc. closing at
T.. 92c bid, this being the lowest point reached
since the downwaTd movement began, about two
weeks ago. and which has carried the July OBJ
ton down from 1.55c 10 to-day'S price, q loss OF
about AGO points.
1t is reported that a strong bear clique has
been formed under the leadership Of a prominent
Wali-street operator who has not been active
since about this time last year. and the opcra-
tions of this party were believed t. be. in some
was present. but appeared to be taking no active
part in the market. with rumOr circulating that
he was selling quietly throughout the entire SEES
sion.
