 New Orleans Jan 29.-Indifference in Liverpool where futures showed one to two decline instead of two advance as due and smaller spot sales there caused again hesita- ton on our side which has been theS char acteristic feature of trading during the past few weeks. Liquidation by long sea pers was responsible for a lower opening of our Houston estimate for tomorrow was posted confidence returned and prices recovered Texas receipts are getting cratic; very large one day. much smaller anether This shows that there is no more that the uninterrupt- ed flow resulting from piled up reserves and that anticipation of more moderate move ment Is closer to realization. The Calves ton forecast for tomorrow is likely to be heavy owing to heavy arrivals today at Savannah reports a reduction in stock fig ures of 4+,2l2 bales as the result of actual con orr of sfoeK sS the hut hn VIII naye to on the statements of previous weeks, 1t will but htle change the spinner's takings for spell of weather is indicated for the West ern half of the belt.
 The spot market is quiet and steady and fair demand; no special features
 Dullness caused further loss of a few points in the afternoon. Spots are uteady fair demand at firm prices Feeling on the bulls have advantage inasmuch as bears generally recognize that 1t is getting too the working of two crops simultaneously, this and the next, which task is too great to undertake.
 Our Liverpool friends write under date of January 16th, heavy receipts and hedge sell ing against spots have been surf cient to outweigh the influence of the great trade demand which continues to break all re- cords We still think that spinners are get ting cotton much too cheap, as in Lancashire they are making anywhere from IS to loo per cent. Should the movement fan off our market would recover quickly.

R. !. AUTO CLUB
ADOPTS DRAFT
Of AUTO LAW

At its meeting last evening the board
OF governors of the Rhode Island Auto
mobile club submitted TO the club COM
mittee on laws a proposed law for the
better governing of motorists.
The sooner such a law is passed the
better 1t viii be. as public sentiment
against speeding seems TO affect some
people very little.
Yesterday witnessed another arrest for
speeding. this time in Pawtucket Thomas
r. o,Brien of this city was arrested there
at about 4;30 p. m, by Capt. Nananda
with Detective Henry and Patrolman
Gregory.
a special session of the Tenth district
court at Pawtucket was held just before
O'Clock last evening for his arraign-
ment He pleaded guilty to the charge
ana was fined $50 and costs. He also re-
ceived severe reprimand from the
court for his neglect of the rights OF 9TH
crs.
Judge Tuck cautioned him against fur
ther violations Of the speed ordinance.
telling him that the matter would not be
treated so lightly should he again find
himself before that court.
The proposed law which the board OF
governors OF the Rhode Island Automo-
bile club passed on To the committee on
laws for its consideration is essentially
that drawn up under the direction cf
the American Automobile association
This act is characterized by much
more severe penalties than those of the
present state law Although several
changes were made I'm this law, the boa rd
made no change regarding the penalties
In it,
I'm other portions OF the bill several
changes We're made and all these were in
cluded in the bill which was submitted 10
the committee on laws.
The committee is to compare the pro-
posed law with the present state law,
and is TO make such recommenda tons for
further changes as ii sees tit.
The committee consists of DIR. Julian A.
Chase j. Jerome Hahn and Frank w.
Ttllinghast They are to report at an
other meeting OF the board TO be held
as soon as the committee has had time to
consider fully the law and carry out the
wishes of the governors i'm regard to
changes IN IL.
When the penal act is evolved it will
represent the sentiment of the Rhode ISL
and Automobile club on motoring.
lt Is believed that the act when COM
pleted Will be passed by the legislature,
as many members OF that body have ex-
pressed themselves In favor of a better
law and promised 10 support one.
The resolution of the board of COVER
nors submitting the act considered by IL
/ 70 the laws and ordinances committee Of
tho club was as follows
1t is voted that the printed draft OF
an automobile law, with such changes as
