CONGRESS
summarx of senate

Washington. May 3.-The policy sought to be established by the govern ment ot providing and equipping build tngs for its ambassadors in European capitals received a set back today in the Senate where the diplomatic bill was under consideration. Through a point of order, MT. CulbeFson. of Tex as oRered an amendment to the House hill approprating S400,000 for such a building at Paris was stricken out,
 Mir. Culberson based his objection mainly on the fact that the subject had not been properly considered. The amendment was placed in the bill by the committee on appropriations at the solicitations of the committee on for eiEn relations and the secretary of state and was the object of consider able discussion. A number of Sena- tors voiced the opinion that such policy had been inauRurated at thi- time as not only eomportinE with the dignity of the office of American ann bassador but as creating a fixed habi- tation for such representatives where a practically uniform standard of liv- tng might be maintained
 The bill was passed. following which euloGies on the life. character and pub lic services of the late Senator Mallory and Senator Bryan of Florida was de- ltvared and as a further mark of res pect the Senate at 4:22 D. m. adjourned until Monday.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. May 2--There was an active rebound in prices of stocks today to the highest level of the week for those that have been most conspicuous in the move ment, which were mostly in the transcon- tinentsl group. The movement was a con tinuanee of the bucyant rise in prices when ly iacking in special news to develop C.
 Advances were practically wiped out in hs ops i'na ln st psa we're r.supsS from the same sources that served to impress specu- lstiys sentiment yesterday. There was marked strensth in Chesapeake and Ohio

 There was a decline in the private dis- count rate in Paris and the London money market had the benefit Of large dividend was reported somewhat firmer and one of the factors causing this was the increas- ed demand from stock commission houses for funds which has accompanied the ise- Hest speculation in stocks.
 The sharp reaction at the last seemed to be due. in addition to the selling to take profits to some misgiying over the accura- cy of the favorable forecasts of the bank statement. The statement. however, dis closed more than the expected gain in cash and only nominal loan expansion in spite of the important operations of the week. Including the Pennsylvania bond and the Intsrborsugh note subscriptions.
 The surplus reserves of the banks are es- timated, in consequence at over s62,0e0, oee. The closing tone was weak and with most of the earlier advance sacrificed.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales par value s2,iIs.0oe. Unitde States bonds are unchang- ed on call for the week.

 Futures opened steady. four 10 eight points below the close of yesterday which was about as due on the cables. Following tiae opening thG market experienced quick recovery that carried the prices of May fu- lures up to g 37. which were the figures at which that potion stood at the close.
 While the advance was largely due to manipulation, the reports of damase done fo the young crop by the recent frost and unseasonable temperatures also served as a large bullish factor. The worst Of the reports were from central Texas and were 10 the effect that all the cro2 of young cotton had been killed there. While the reports were regarded being largely ex- aggerated, they did not lose all of their effect
 At the close. which was firm. the active months were 16 to 23 points above the close yesterday.

NO LOCAL TRADING
PRICES IN MONTGOMERY REMAIN
 NOMINAL AS ON FRIDAY.
Wfth Future Markets Usual Duiiness of Half Day is Dispelied by Heavy Decline and Garrison
 Finish.

Tn Montgom yesterday there was no trading to fix the price of spot cotton which was allowed to remain nomtnally at Friday, figures. e-Isc for middling and 9&c for strict mtddiing
 IL was in the future markets that some thing was doing, and the somsthing was watched with kesh interest byathe oottoners of Montgomery. First of all. in the morn ing. there came slump. the market open ing down. The decline continued constant ly until 1t began to look as if prices were trying to get bottom.
 Then. towards the close. there was a reaction In a Garrison finish the bulls got under the wire first. with five lengths, aa measured in points, to the good of the bears. Just why it was there was natural ly a difference of opinion It was generally regarded that heavy speculation by Wall Street interests had put the stuff up. with heavy covering by shorts held to be an eaauIIy potent factor in the final result. The bears claim that the supply will check further advance and that the weather is the oniv hope of the bulls.
