Alter tne cal a,l inc more active months in both crops stood points up, but at this level short selling in large volume commenced and prices fell off to a point below the level of yesterdays closing. This selling was based on rumors of a failure in Havre and on better weather reports from the cotton belt. The Havre failure was said to have had bullish erect on Liver pool because of the buying in of hedges, but 1t aroused bearish sentiment hefe. The weather map was clear and dry. with moderate temperatures prevailing every where in the cotton belt, just the eondi- lions desired to repant the cotton which was destroyed by the cold wave.

of the present borrowing capacity, af-
fords, at the most, hope of ability 10
construct one subway. The annual in
crease in the city's borrowing capacity
holds out little prospect of any other
similar undertaking, even il contracted
for in sections.
The moral is that the city must de-
pend upon private capital TO supply 1t
with other subways or must adopt the
system urged by Borough President
McAneny, in speech Sunday night OF
paying for such works by assessments
upon property benefited. The situation
deserves consideration in its wider
aspects and the adoption of a farseeing
policy. If the city proceeds to spend
the SS0.O00,O0O which it may possibly
be able to devote to that purpose upon
new subway, its rapid transit needs
Will be far from supplied when that
sum is gone, and it will be again in the
same situation in which it has been for
the last few years, without the advan-
tage. in bargaining with private capital
lists, of being able to reject their terms
and build itself.

FROM Inc Irloune Bureau.
Washington, Jan. 10.-The Russian Am
bassador has been confined to his room and
bed by illness for two weeks, but was able
to drive out to-day for a short time. He
has had to decline many engagements.
The recently arrived japanese Ambassa-
dor and Baroness Uchfda received the dip
lonatic corps at the embassy in X street
this afternoon, the affair being the regular
reception held by every new ambassador
after his arrival here. The embassy was
profusely decorated with roses and palms.
and Ambassador and Baroness Uchida
were assisted by the counsellor OF the en-
bassy and Nine. Matsui, Mr.. Hanihara, first
secretary; Seiichi Takahashi, third secrc-,
tary; Nobumori Osako, attache; Comma nd
er Tokutaro Hiraga, naval attache, and
Lieutenant Colonel Tanaka, military at
tache. The guests included all the diplomats
in Washington with the exception OF the Bel
gian Minister and his staff, who We're pre-
vented from attending by court mourning.
Count Ladislas Cziraky, who succeeds
Count Torok as attache of the Austrian
Embassy. will arrive in Washington in the
near future to assume his duties.
The British military attaehe and the Hon
Mrs. James. with the sister OF the latter
the Hon. Rachel -Shuttleworth, left the
capital last evening for Fort Oglethorpe,
Georgia. where they will be the guests for
ten days of Captain and Mrs. Cushman.
New-York tribune., 1910-01-11
PROGRESS IN NAVAL REFORM.

1t is encouraging to. hear that the
Naval Affairs Committee of the House
of Representatives has approved some
of the reforms in naval administration
suggested by the Swift board and
strongly advocated by Secretary Meyer.
The Tribune's Washington dispatches
report that the committee is almost con-
vinced that the Bureau of Equipment
should be abolished and that the Sec
retary's plans for managing the navy
yards should be adopted. There can be
no question as TO the desirability Of
dropping the Equipment Bureau. Its
functions overlap the functions of ether
bureaus, and naval progress has greatly
diminished the importance of the work
which it was originally intended to do.
In the days of sailing vessels that
bureau supplied the rigging and the sails,
together with the many minor imple-
ments of navigation. But now that rig
ging and sails have been discarded on
warshps, it furnishes chiefly the light
ing apparatus and the fuel. 1t buys il
Illuminating oil, but not the oil used in
the engine room; the electrical ',evices
for lighting ship, but not those for
controlling its machinery OF its present
duties only the purchase of coal is i'm
portant. and that could easily be trans
ferred to the Bureau of Supplies and
Accounts. along with the minor miscel-
laneous purchasing services which it
discharges. The Bureau Of Supplies con-
tracts for provisions, clothing, fresh
water and other stores for the ships It
Ia
CATION sundries. The duty of furnishing
electrical lighting apparatus should he
turned over to the Bureau of Steam
Engineering The photographic Office,
which is now under the Bureau of
Equipment, could be attached to the
Bureau of Navigation.
The great defect in the present Or
saniZation Of the navy is the antiquated
division Of powers and responsibilities.
The navy needs TO be built UP as
fighting force, and the true policy of
the department is TO subordinate all
other aims TO that Of military efficiency.
In the long run 1t will be best If the
men who are going to handle and fight
the ships have a freer hand and larger
voice in matters affecting the fighting
capacity of the feet and the means for
assuring its preparedness. Secretary
Meyer insists-rightly. we think-on a
greater degree of military control IN
the administration of the navy yards.
There has been a tendency to follow in
the conduct of the yards the methods
Of industrial plants, and Congress. rec
ognizing the ability of private yards 70
do work cheaper because Of system and
steady employment has been disposed
70 put the government yards entirely
under civilian control. Yet the yards
do not exist for themselves alone Their
programme-especially the repair part
OF the program me-must be PIX 0f "A
New-York tribune., 1910-01-11

general scheme Of military administra-
tlon, and the feet will be in better fight
ing condition if the work of the yards
Is co-ordinated with that Of the service
alioat, the same officers having chance
10 familiarize themselves to a large ex-
tent with both lines of duty.
1t was that argument which forced
the consolidation of the line and the
engineer corps. and as the navy has ex-
panded the same impulse is now oper-
ating to unity administration further by
breaking down the bureau system, with
its many centres of authority, each try
ing TO maintain itself al the expense cf
the others. Congress is averse to
changes in either of the military ser
vices. 1t will probably move slowly
now. but it will be moving in the right
direction if it sanctions some Of Mr..
Meyers reforms at this session. Fur
ther Improvement is certain to come
after part of his programme has been
fairly tested
