Many telegrams from spot points in the interior told of a good in- quiry for actual cotton, but reported 'n most cases that sample tables were covered up and that nothing was fol sole.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, February 20.-Cotton futures opened steady at a decline of 6 to points on rains in the western half of the cotton belt over Sunday
 Telegrams from many points in Texas told of heavy rainfall. in some points amounting to as much as six inches The favorable effect of this on the soil was intensified by the freezing weather that followed which crop experts claimed would result in conserving the moisture in the ground.

CONSERVATVEO ON STOCK.EXCHANGE Wall Street Full of Nervous Approximations FEAR EXTRA SESSION International Harvester Was Central Figure of Morning Trading While Waiting for the
 Dividend ~
 
FEAR EXTRA SESSION

New York, February 2o-Increasing reluctance to enter upon fresh speculaT tive ventures at the present uncertain period was indicated by the small volume of trading today on the stock exchange. Decisions of the supreme court in the im- portant antitrust cases and of the inter- <. state commerce commission matter in the increase of freight rates. long looked upon as belonging to the more or less distant future are now among the possi- bilities of any week. News from Wash ington of increased liitlihood of an extra eession of Congress added to Wall streets nervous apprehension.
 St. Paul, Reading and Consolidated Gas broke point at the outset and most of the other issues receded but before the close buying was begun in a modest way. Prices Improved slowly until United States Steel, Union Pacific, Lehigh Valley and Missouri Pacific had gained point, Reading 3 points and the list as whole had reached or slightly bettered Satur- days last figures.
 Toward the close of the day heavy buy. ing of the. Gould stocks and bonds led to the building up of other stocks to the highest level of the session. wabash preferred sold K above Saturdays clos ing, the per cent bonds gained 3A and the Denver and Rio Grande refunding 5s and Missouri Pacific 4s advanced sub stantially Union Pacific. Reading Miss ouri Pacific and LeTIigh Valley, rose a point or more and the closing was firm within a fraction of the best level of the day.
 International Harvester was the central figure of the morning trading. It rose more than points while the market was awaiting word of the directors action on the dividend, report having had it that the dividend rate would be increased from to per cent. When 1t became known that the dividend declared was at the rate of per cent yearly, the stock dropped precipitately. losing more than the amount of its earlier gain. United States Rubber was active and strong despite the advance in the price of crude rubber.
 Flotation of new securities including $S,000, 900 4 per cent bonds of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and ss,O00,OoO per cent bonds of the Consolidation Coal company was announced today.
 In spite of the huge aggregate of se- curities issued since the first of the year, money is increasingly easy at this center. Loans were placed today for six months on all industrial securities at 311s per cent. This Is the lowest quotation for this par ticular class of accommodation in many months and gives reasonable assurance of 0 continuation of easy conditions for an indefinite period.
 The bond market which was irregular was relatively more active than the stock market. Total sales par value, A,S1S, GOO. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

New Jersey Republicans TO
Stand for Stokes.

Atlantic City, N. j., Jan. 9.-An hopes
Of Republican support for former Sen
ator James Smith In his fght for the
United States senatorship from New
Jersey were quashed here when mem
tsTs o. the New Jersey state assembly
voted to support unanimously the can
didate selected by the Republican eau
Gus to be held at Trenton tomorrow
morning. Although no opsn encourage
ment was given to supporters of for
mer Governor Stokes. who was named
by popular vote at the recent primaries
as the Republican nominee for the
United States senate, 1t In believed that
party managers have decided to sup
port Stokes rather than openly shatter
the party platform Of last year, which
declared in favor of the popular pri-
mary.
Fifteen out of the eighteen members
of the Republican minority Of the com
ing assembly were present at tie con.
ference.
Utmost secrecy vas observed by the
members of the lower house during

following statement was made by As
semblyman Thomas r. MeCran Of Pat
erson, slated rs floor leader for the
Republican minority during the coming
session.
Republican members OF the assembly for
the coming term will stand together and
support the man of their party selected al
the party caucus to be held Tuesday. ANY
talk of Republican support for q Demo
cratic leader OF any faction for the Unit
ed States senatorsbip Is all bosh. The Re
publican party has succeeded through or
ganization in former years, and I am en-
powered to say that this strength will not
be thrown away when the party 10 forced
into the minority: The Republican nomi-
nee for the United States senate, whoever
he may be, win receivs the full vote OF this
Republican members OF the assembly and,
] believe. will also get the votes OF tia
Republican senators.
