The government estimate is about
100000 bales below the predictions Of

action of the market was a natural
consequence. The report had been
awaited here with much interest and
various estimates had been made of

zELAYA's EARLY RETIREMENT
From Presidency Of Nicaragua Is Elk
pected at Washington.

Washington, Dec. 10-Evidence il
multiplying that Zelaya intends to re.
tire from the Presidency of Nicaragua
Reports to that effect are genera
throughout that country and the
American consular officers seem te
give credence to them.
The latest scrap of>news from Mica
ragua reached the state department
this morning and stated that Jose Mad
riz was being talked of as Zelaya's
successor. In the absence Of definite
information on this point it is as
sumed that this suggestion comes from
Zelayas friends and for that reason,
as well as others, his selection would
be far from satisfactory to this gov
eminent.
Madriz was chairman of the Nicara-
qua delegation of the Central Ameri-
can Peace conference held here in
1907 and was elected secretary of the
conference At present he is the rep
resentative of Nicaragua in the Cen

About a year ago, in a dispute which
arose between Salvador and Guate-
mala on one side and Nicaragua and
Honduras on the other, which was de-

qua, Madriz made an effort to disrupt
the coitrt. He is said to be q very able
man with strong ambition.

will be reported from committee be-
fore the holiday adjournment and that
the committee will accept the full de-

Washington, Dec. 10.-Promise OF ac-
tivity in legislation was indicated by
the introduction today of $50 bills and
resolutions by senators, covering a.
great variety of subjects. MANY of
these measures failed of passage dur
ing the last Congress and 80 per cent.
"t them will receive scant considera-
ton this session. Many are for pen
sions that could not be granted under
the general law
Standing out prominently was a res
olution by Senator Rayner today au-
thoriz:ng the President of the United
States to cause President Zelaya to be
apprehended as a common criminal,
charged with murder of two Americans
engaged in revolutionary activity in
Nicaragua, contrary to the code Of
war of all civilized nations, which
would have granted them trial.
The House was in session for an
hour and a half and large number of
measures were introduced there. The
most striking feature of the proceed
ings in that body was speech by Rep.
Kustermann, Wis, denying the charge
that his interest in German shipping
was so great as to cause him to an
tagonize a bill for the relief of the
American merchant marine. Mr. Kus.
tremann was in jovial humor and his
speech was generally enjoyed
Senator Lorimer's successor in the
House, Hon. VIM. J. Monkey of Illinois,

from Wall street, Chicago and South
