DISCUSS REGULATION
 OF PANAMA RAILROAD

Washington, February 1S.-Determina- ton of the question as to whether the Panama Railroad company should encour- age competition with its own steamers and thereby increase the loss now incurred in hauling freight across the isthmus at less than cost, confronts the government in dealing with the California and At lantic Steamship company, which wants to maintain vessels on the Atlantic. So Secretary of War Dickinson advises Pres ident Taft in letter made public to- day
 The secretary set forth that g 1-3 per cent is the minimum that goes to the railroad on all foreign and Central Amer ican business Reduction of the differen- tial to the Pacific co-carrier from 60 to 70 per cent would raise the question as to whether the charge of coastwise. traf- creased by the railroad from 1872 to 231a per cent. Such action, the secre- tary urges, might drive the steamship companies out of business and lay the government open to the charge of play ing into the hands of the transcontinenta railroad companies.
 He sets forth that the American-H Ha- waiian Steamship company has formerly cut rates In competition with the rail- road company and may do so again. It would be unfortunate. he holds, if a freight rate war on this business would be started. The Hawaiian company con- tends for non-diseriminative rates across the isthmus.

MASSEY EXPLAINS
 MOBILE MATTER
SaysA Birmingham Chamber of Con- merce Wants to Develop the
 Entire State

In reference to the complaint made by Mobile and Montgomery papers that those cities were omitted from a map recently issued by the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, President R. w. Massey of the Birmingham organization has written the following letter to Maj. W. w. Screws, editor of the Montgomery Adver- tiser:
 My attention has just been called to an editorial in the Advertiser. in its issue of Friday, the 17th inst, headed "A Sel- fish Policy, which editorial takes the Bir- mineham Chamber of Commerce-and myself as president thereof-to task for what what it choose to term a selfish policy
 No one can regret more than I that Mobile was left off the map that was re- gently issued by the Birmingham Cham Ter of Commerce in it's Farm Movement Publicity campaign. This commission was the fault of the draftsman and the error was inadvertent. We shall properly and in an official capacity explain this matter to the Mobile Chamber of Commerce.
 "Now with refeernce to the Adver- user cTltlciSfH Ol celtdlu pdfdSIdpHS ol my Inaugural address delivered before the members of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce in which I referred to a pro- posed water route from Birmingham to the gulf, feel that the chamber as well as myself has been done an injustice by your publication, although I am sure un- Intentionally so. In this address I point cd out the advantages that would inurc to Birmingham by deep water route. was emphasizing the advantages of this route only so far as 1t pertained to Bir- mingham because necessarily in a brief address could not point out the advan- tages that would accrue not only to Montgomery and Mobile, but to the entire state of Alabama.
 Personally. I am very much interested in Montgomery, as you know, having been years, and have only the kindest feeling for the business interests and prosperity of that city, as well as for the state. The Birmingham Chamber of Commerce will commit its best efforts not only to the welfare of the city of Birmingham, but to the entire state of Alabama, and I am sure it will be source of great pleasure to every member of the Br- mingham Chamber of Commerce, to help forward the movement of securing a water route to the gulf, knowing that such movement would benefit Alabama as a whole"

NEW CROP WAS WEAKEST FACTOR Cotton Loses 10 to B Points
 During Week RAINS IN TEXAS
The Scott Bill Pending Taken as a Very Bearish Feature and Stimulates Short
 Selling

New Orleans, February 1S.-The net result of this weeks trading in the cotton market was loss of 10 to 32 points. The new crop position was the weakest, owing to the rains in the western sections of the cotton belt where the drouth has been complained or. The low prices of the week were made on Thursday and the high prices strung along after that; the market as whole staQding at it's highest on the closing session. At the lowest the whole list was 4s points under last weeks close; the highest was to 21 the failure of the new crops to make the same recovery as the old. From the lowest to the highest there was range of 19 to 40 points.
 The Scott bill pending before Con- gress had much to do with the market this week. This bill which threatens to do away with future trading in cot ton, was taken as a very bearish fea- ture and completely overwhelmed the other and more legitimate features of the week. It had the effect of caus- ing great amount of liquidation among the longs and of stimulating short selling. Early in the week it was rumored that one trader had thrown board line of 30O00 bales of long cotton. At the close of the week the cotton trade came to the conclusion that the board has chance at the coming law and the market made a substantial recovery.
 Second in influence to the Scott bill were the rains in Texas and Oklahoma throughout the week More or less rain was reported in those states and tele grams and letters from cotton merchants and planters stated that the ground could rot be in better shape for the completion Of blowing and for planting in the earliest sections. With several points in the ex- treme southwest of the belt, planting ac- tually commenced. It was the claim of some planters and bulls that while the top soil of the drouth sections of the belt had been moistened the sub-soil still lacks moisture necessary to carry the plant through the growing session. This. however, was lost sight of in the relief that was evidence on top of the ground. Under these rains the new crop deliveries showed less strength than at any time since they have become active trading months.
 The weekly statistics were steadily tullish and a better spot demand was re- ported in some quarters, but these two features attracted very little attention.
 In the spot market prices lost lsc, mid 6irgs closing at 141ac, against 145sc last week and 145sc this week last year. Sales on the spot amounted to 1251 bales, against 14S6 last week and 31S0 this week last year; sales to arrive totaled IS10 bales, against 353S last week and 1930 this week last year.
