MANN AND FITZGERALD

Washington April S.-A sharp passage of words between Representative Mann Of Indiana, who was occupying the speak CTS chair, and Mir. Fitzgerald of New York, caused intense interest in the House today.

 "The gentleman will have to be respect ful,'' admonished MT. Mann.
 T am respectful" persisted the New Yorker.

Shorts Fear a Squeeze

New York, April s.-May cotton sold at 14S9 cents in the closing minutes of the cotton exchange session today, or s4.50 a bale above the low level of the week. The day was notable no. so much for the volume of trading as tor the tlmidity of the speculative shorts, who were finding it difficult to cover and clearly feared a squeeze Their attitude was a sharp contrast to that of a few years ago when 1t was confidently asserted that the bull campaign had collapsed with heavy losses to James A. Patten of Chicago and his southern associates
 After the close it was rumored that the bull leaders were ready to accept all deliveries on near-month contracts. The arrival os 10,900 bales from Hsver- pool, the first of the shipments which it is expected will reach 50,00o bales, failed to reassure the shorts and the situation in May continued to over shadow all the rumors of the market Failure of southern yarn spinners to agree on any organized curtailment hullish accounts of Manchester trade and strong weekend statistics were the chief factors in today's advance.

 Week Are Recovered
BULLS IN THE MARKET
James A, Patten and the Other Leaders Are Watching the Market and Will Jump in and Boost Prices at
 the Right Time

New York, April S.-It has been an &C., tive. irregular and unsettled market but in the end prices have shown some net loss for the week in the new crop months May set the pace for a sharp rally in the present crop months in the latter part of the week, when spot interests and Pat ten brokers became large buyers of that option. For time earlier in the week the feeling was noticeably depressed Texas rains have initiated against bull speculation, and so have reports of ship ments from Liverpool to New York, and also fire m the south with view to fight ing the May deal, though II >>estated that tho shipments from the English market to New York would involve a loss of f cents a pound or $20 a bale. Disturbing rumors have been current, too, that the leading Chicago cotton operator had sold out. He fiatly denied this, however, and also the stories that he had sustained severe losses.
 James A. Patten has announced him. self as still d bull, and asserts that his opponents are simply following the lead of well-known spot interests in New York and Philadelphia. He contends that there will not be cotton enough to go around.

SCOTT FUTURES BILL
 REPORTED TO HOUSE

Washington, April s.-The Scott bill to prohibit future transactions in cotton, recently acted upon favorably by the House committee on agriculture, was re- ported to the House today. The commit tee says the purpose of the measure is ito restrict as far as possible those trans- actions on cotton exchanges of the coun- try which are recognized as betting only with the fluctuations in the price of cot ton and which do not involve the actual transfer of the commodity.
 "There Is a very widespread sentiment in which the committee concur" says the report that those transactions are de- moralizing morally and economically they are hurtful to those engaged in the actual production distribution and consumption of cotton and for those reasons detri- mental to the public welfare"

25,Ooo bales. Bulls have at times bid for big blocks of 10000 bales or more at a time. After a decline recently of about l cent and heavy liquidation bulls think the technical situation Is very much bet ter than it has been for some time past. Manchester's trade is improving, and yarns in this country are reported some what more active. The Texas rains are pronounced by bulls to be insufficient. They argue that what they consider an average of about two inches of rain is not enough to put a good season into the reported six feet of dry earth in the Lone Star state.
 The Waldorf Astoria element has been buying on declines At times large spot interests have bought October. Bremen has reported a much better demand. Part to need rain. Wall street and the south have at times been buyers
 Notwithstanding rumors that a compro- mise had been reached with May shorts the leading bulls seem to be sticking to the deal in that month, and they pre- dict a scramble for cotton before the end of the season. Speculation aside from trading of a few large interests and their following is small. A
 The business in actuals cotton in this country is reported to be light. Amer ican spinners still buy from hand to mouth. Powerful interests which trade in the actual cotton heavily from yea. to year are arrayed against an ad- vance in prices at this time Dry goods reports as a rule are pessimistic.
 Curtailment is persisted in in most sections of the manufacturing industry in this country. Bears maintain that there will be more than enough cot ton for the worlds needs when allow snce is made for curtailment of pro- duction of cotton goods.
 Many members of the trade are hold ing aloof awaiting further develop ments, declining to take the risk .oi, the one hand of selling short and pos- sibly being squeezed or on the other of buying and getting holdings of leading bulls. A large acreage is ex- pected and also revival of trade later in the year. The present situation puzzles some of the shrewdest and most experienced brokers.

TAFT THINKS RUMORS
 ARE VERY FUNNY

Washington. April S--To President Taft, apparently, there Is a humorous side to the newspaper reports of resignatons in his cabinet
