WILL SUSTAIN PRESIDENT.
New York Republicans Vote to Support
the Taft Policies.

washington, Feb. 1.-Republican
mernt ers of the New York delegation
in the House at a caucus today voted
to support President Taft's policies but
refused to commit itself on the ques-
ton of the Speakership and the rules.
Party leaders sought to have the eau
Gus go on record as endorsing the pres
ent rules, but the movement failed.
Ha. the New York delegation sus-
tanned the rules, it is reported an effort
would be made to have the same ac-
ton taken all along the line in the
various state delegations.
The New Workers held their meet
ing in the rooms of the committee on
ways and means. Chairman Payne
OF the committee, the floor leader OF
the majority of the House, presided
and ne made an earnest speech. Tbs
debate was general throughout the
hours and u minutes the caucus was
in session and at its conclusion the fol-
lowing resolution adopted unanimous
ly was made public by Bennet:
"Whereas. it is the earnest desire of
the Republican delegation of the state
of New York, in the House of Rep
r2sentatives, to have prompt consid-
GRAFTON of the legislation proposed and
recommended by the President and
presented to the people in the plat
form of the Republican party adopted
at the last national convention.
Therefore, he it resolved, that we
Jointly cndeaVor to secure caucus of
the Republican personalities for the
purpose OF adopting a Legislative pre-
gram fo:r this session, based, by a ma
jorty vote OF such caucus, upon the
Republican national platform of 1908
and the recommendations of the Pres
iden..
And be it further resolved, that we
posed legislation by Republican eau
cuscs to be called from time to time
as RAPIDLY as such legislation can be
taken up
Several members protested against
any action that committed or preJu-
diced the delegation on the question
OF the rules
The upshot of the resulting discus
sion was that it was best not to pro-
woke any dssension at this time; that
the Speakership was not matter 10
be acted upon by this Congress and
that the question of the rules sfould
be left without committing the mem
bers until after the legislative program
as mapped out by the party platform
ard the Presidents recommendation
had been acted upon by the House.

THE HORSE TRAFFIC.

Boston, Feb. 1.-The horse market was
firm during the week, and the supplies,
which were heavier than for some weeks
past, were fairly well cleaned out. The
movement at the auction sales was brisk
and there was a good demand for all
classes of horses both in the local and the
outside demand. While prices were firm,
no material advance was noted, but the
improvement in the general demand was
a great help to the trade, which has
Jagged the past month, and dealers are
expecting more business from now on.
Western prices continue very high, but
the consignments received are of good
class of horses, particularly in the heavy
weight types, which are in most urgent
demand. Harness classes are limited in
supply, but the outlook is toward brisk
spring trade if enough horses of good
tsyle can be obtained.

cry and general purpose horses at $500

low that of the fresh horses. Driving and

$50 to $780, according to age and condi-
ton. Medium grades of secondhand driv-
ing horses sold at $75@125.
