Respond Rapidly
CLOSE is MARKED BY RALLY
ASSOCIATED Pressl


NEW YORK, April 5.-The cotton
market was more sensationally active
and excited today than at any time
since the elimination of the first bull
movement of the season and the big
break of last January.
Selling was general and at the now
level of the day prices showed loss
of from $515 to $5.S5 per bale on the
active months as compared with the
high level of last week.
1t was the general opinion while the
break was in progress that 1t reflected
the abandonment of the bull cam
paign in May contracts, during which
there has been such unusual develop
ment as practically simultaneous ship
ments of cotton from New York to
Liverpool and from Liverpool to New
York.
These shipments, it is claimed, arose
through the efforts of the bull party
to reduce the local stock while those
short Of May have been bringing cot
ton here to protect themselves against
a threatened corner.
Whether the bulls were actually IL
ouidating their position, houses cred
tied with carrying their business were
heavy sellers at times during the day.
But May remained relatively STEADY
on the decline and after the close
there were those who declared that the
bull leaders were standing by then
main position and that the selling
movement had been precipitated by
false rumors that overtures for a pri
vate settlement had been declined by
the leading shorts.
In the last few minutes or tradlns
there was a big demand that tool
thousands Of bales out Of the marke
and caused sharp closing rally.
The general news received but littl'
attention after the big break started
but 1t seems that bullish confidence
has been gradually undermined by the
more favorable weather for the new
crop and by a slack trade demand.

River Schedules
CASE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Decision of Supreme Court viii
Determine Body'S Right to
Change Tariffs
CASE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
ASSOCIATED Pressl


WASHINGTON, April 5.-Arguments
were begun before the supreme court
of the United states today in the fam
Gus Missouri river rate case, involving
the rate making power of the interstate
commerce commission.
On behalf Of the commission Wade
II. Ellis, special assistant to the attor-
ney general, defended the order reduc-
ing the rate between the Mississippi
river and the Missouri river as applied
to shipments from seaboard points to
Missouri river cities. This order was
set aside by the United States circuit
court for the northern district of ILL
nois as being beyond the power of the
commission, inasmuch as it discrimln-
ated against shippers east of the Miss
issippi but not in seaboard territory.
Mr.. Ellis contended the court could
not set aside rates made by the COM
mission when just and reasonable in
themselves.
In this case, he claimed, the railroads
were not complaining about rate be-
ing unjust, but were merely concerned
because the rate was alleged to dis
criminate against shippers in central
Freight association territory. He urged
those shippers should have taken their
complaint to the commission.
John H. Atwood of Kansas City, in
behalf of the Missouri river merchants,
argued that the railroads could remedy
any discrimination against central ter
ritorv shippers by reducing the inter-
river rate for all shippers, regardless of
the point of oigin.
Colin c. II. Fyffe addressed the court
on behalf of the shippers in the Cen
Z tori
ing that the orders affecting seaboard
territory worked an unjust discrimina-
ton against them.
Counsel for the commercial organiza-
tions of several eastern cities today
filed a brief in support of the order.
