The New York speculative market

in the cotton market today with SEN

tuations irregular. The close was

The opening was barely steady at a
decline of l to points and shortly
after the call the market sold about

and some support from bullish sources
The demand did not broaden on the
advance, however, and as soon as
shorts had supplied their requirements
the market again weakened with the
close some 10 or II points off from the
top. Official weather reports indicated
no further precipitation of consequence
in Texas, but conditions were not con-

house members will assemble half an
hour earlier to plan for executing
their part Of the agreement. 1t Is ex-
pected that they will have a report
from the house leaders as to the pos
sibility Of passing rule comforting
lower rates on leather than those
named in the house bill.
Senator Aldrich has informed SEN
|ators from northwestern states that
he will not consent to the abolition
Of the duty on hides unless there is a
material cut in the rates on boots,
shoes and other leather goods Sena-
tors from cattle-raising states insist
that the only way consumers can get
any benefit from the removal Of the
protection on hides will be by corre-
spending reductions in the duties on
boots and shoes and harness.
If, for any reason, anything should
occur to upset the plan to give the
conferees jurisdiction to adopt rates
lower than those named by either
house the conference committee Is
holding what is regarded as trump
card in reserve. This provides for
the preparation Of conference re-
port putting hides on the free list
and reducing the rates on shoes and
other leather manufactures. ,,
The report, 1t is said, then would
be presented to President Taft and 1t
would devolve upon him to secure its
support. In the event of failure,
the conference woud submit a report
placing a small duty on hides and the
house rates on leather.
Few Of the conferees believe that 1t
will be necessary to resort to such
tactics, however, for all Of them rea-
lize that the criticisms usually heap
ed upon members who oppose the ad-
ministration view make men hesitate
to combat the presidents will. On
that account, 1t Is believed, the com
promise giving cheap rates on shoes
and other manufactures Of leather In
return for free hides will be adopted.
