NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-The cotton mar
ket developed unexpected weakness at
the opening this morning and broke
sharply under what appeared to be
chiefly liquidation by tired holders and
disappointed bulls.
This selling was Influenced 70 a great
extent BY the disquieting rumors com

fresh 0utburst of liquidation and weak

Great Talk TESTS
Says Our Trade Relations
With the Philippines Are
Blind and Backward"

Chicago, April 4.-Secretary Taft
spent his second busy day in Chicago
with another round of receptions,
luncheons and speeches, winding up
with a banquet of the Commercitl club
of Chicago at the Congress hotel to-
night. In all his talks Secretary Taft
carefully avoided political issues, al
though in the evening address he
touched lightly upon few questions
of public import.
The Philippine tariff was one of the
subjects to receive attention. He de-
scribed the present policy of the Unit
ed States in regard to trade relations
with the islands as blind and back
wardd," and hoped for a revision OF
the import schedules 'in the near fu-
ture." He also put in plea for ade-
quate housing and salaries for the dip
lomatic and consular representatives
abroad, and toward the close OF his
speech, which was mainly devoted to
the possibilities of trade with China,
urged that a subsidy be established
for the purpose of creating steam
ship line on the western coast OF the
United States and the far east.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Taft had at
tended luncheons by the Press and the
Irish Fellowship clubs; had held
public reception at the Hamilton club,
and had addressed meeting OF potrl-
otto societies, at which he Endorsed
plans of the Daughters OF the Ameri-
can Revolution for promoting patriot
ism in the younger generation.

sentiment in accordance with which
popular judgment was nodded and put
into effect.
"That sentiment, born, as say, of
large experience and considerable
judgment of popular leaders who COM
posed the republican organization and
who habitually assembled here, and
from here dispensed throughout the
state plans with a common purpose
and harmonious understanding, has
made and unmade presidents and gov
ernors, has determined party plat
forms. and policies both in the state
and nation, and has exercised can
trolling influence upon affairs for a
period of time within which the repub-
hcan party achieved it's greatest sue

their largest measure of prosperity.
That is the glory which will be asso-
ciated with this for many years to
