TO FRAME RATE BILL.

EIISinH' Committee Will Meet In No-
 yember For That Purpose.
 NEW YORK. Sept. B. - Senator Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia, chairman of the senate committee on interstate commerce, has issued a call to the committee to meet in Washing ton on Nov. 15 to frame bill provid- ing for railroad rate supervision and regulation by the government to be in- troduced at the coming session of con- gross.
 To Senator Elkins is given the credit for having blocked legislation on the rate question in the last session of con- gross. Senator Elkins publicly an nounced that he was opposed to the presidents plans and by pursuing a systematic programme of flibustering in committee he was able to prevent action.
 Senator Elkins announced that he was convinced that action at the com ing session was inevitable and said that he would cooperate in passing a bAAl SAIsAdGAoAg slO Ahf pANsAANAA-
 T think I am justified" said Sena- tor Elkins to a reporter, fin stating that all the Republican. or majority members of the committee. have con cluded that there must be railroad leg islation this winter The president, l understand. is as emphatic as ever. in his judgment that the railroad rate and private car line problem must be dealt with decisiyely. I think there is no doubt that some sort of bill will be passed. Just what it's provisions will be is of course a matter of con- lecture.
 ''The committee will not be long in framing a bill. as I believe the individ- ual members have formed definite Opin- ions on what they desire, and all that will remain to be done Is to agree on some one plan This. think, will not require more than two weeks.

WAR IN SOUTHWEST

New York, February 14-Today's stock
market was distinctly one of speeialties
and but few stocks of the first rank
will be found in the list of those fuct-
uating as much as a point. The market
was decidedly duler than hah been the
case recently, especially among the stan
dard stocks. The minor railroads and
industrials which were active, have a
much smaller volume of capitalization
than the great standard stocks, and the
cougested interest in lis class had its
effect in bringing down the total of he
days transactions There was a marked
falling off in operations by some Of the
notable speculative operators was sup
posed to account for this. Such of the
days developments as had any impor-
lance, were without much effect ON
stocks, and the tone was hesitating and
Irregular.
Some of the special advances were due
to rumors affecting the individual prop
critics concerned, these in number of
cases poiring to intended dividend decla-
rations on stocks, which no wreceive no
disbursement. In some of the low-priced
industrials there were feverish upward
spurts from this cause. There were traces
of last weeks movement in the iron and
steel group but the movement showed
signs of elimination, and the United
States Steel stocks, especially were slug
gish and Indifferent. The weekly collec-
ton of views of traffic officials was ting
ed by the existence of obstacles to traffic
from the colder weather, although the
ono ne n r.
chandise movement continued cheerful.
Weekly gross earnings for the first week
of February showed the effect of storm
obstruction, and of the grain war, es-
pecially on southern and southwestern
systems, for which there were a number
OF decided decreases compared with last
years earnings. The continuance OF these
factors promised a similar result for the
forthcoming statements for the second
week
There was an appreciable firmer tone
In the time money market as a result of
the large decline in surplus reserve, shown
by Saturdays bank statement. But this
was largely nominal owing to the scanty
activity. The dropping tendency of the
foreign exchange, and the relaxation at
all points of the pressure lor our gold
was considered of greater Importance
The reduction in the official discount rate
of the imperial bank of Germany was
accepted as an index of relaxing money
conditions in all the foreign markets. The
rumors of peace were also an effective
influence in foreign markets, which was
reflected here by the buying of stocks
for foreign account. There was a notable
sustaining influence in the early market.
Wwhen IL had ceased. the tone for stocks
became rather easy and Reading especial
ly was under pressure of realizing. The

role of sustaining factor which was held
by the specialties and the foreign buying
early inthe day, was assumed by Union
Pacific in the late dealings. That stocks
rise to the high level OF the year was not
explained by any news development
There was some inclination to assume that
the friction between the President and the
Senate would prove an obstacle to rail-
road rate legislation, but 1t was Of no
practical effect on prices unless in the
case OF Union Pacific. The strength Of
that stock sustained the later market,
and made the closing steady.
There was a broad demand for bonds
of other than the first grades, and firm

INITIAL BULGE IN
COTTON MARKET
Liverpool and New Orleans
Were Both Higher
BULL SUPPORT HIGHER
Business Is Restricted to Considerable
Extent BY Wire Trouble In the
South-Sales Were
Small.


New York, February 1.-THE cotton
market, while quiet, ruled generally
steady to firm in response to higher mar
kets at New Orleans and Liverpool. The
opening was firm at an advance of to
u points on covering by the short sellers
of late last week, who were disappointed
over the continued cold weather in the
belt, and rendered uneasy by the relative
frmness of the English market. But
there seemed to be little oull support, and
some OF the scalpins contingent utilized
the initial bulge for short sales for a
turn.
The pressure from this source during
the early trading was sufficient to force
prices back to within about or 6 points
OF last nights close but during the later
trading earlier sellers covered on the
small estimates for tomorrows receipts,
and private reports of continued firmness
among southern spot holders. The close
was steady at net advance of to 10
points, or about to 5 points up from
the lowest. Sales were estimated at 60, 600
bales. Business was undoubtedly restrict
ed to a considerable extent by wire trou-
BILE with the south, where low tempera-
lures and snow storms were reported. 1t
is hardly believed that the movement can
be resumed on much more liberal basis,
until there have been several days of
more favorable conditions Official adj
vices from southern spot markets report
ed generally steady prices. but l to
points lower, and small sales at all
points.
Estimated receipts of cotton at the ports
today $1,000 bales, against 1900 last week,
and 1854 last year. For the week, 100,-
900 bales, against ss,442 last week. and
5000 last year.
Today's receipts at New Orleans, 1892
bales, against 5s6S last year, and at Hous-
ton, : bales, against 11,227 last year. To-
days receipts at Houston no. in.
