Committee Refuses to Make Rec.
OmmendatiOn--Yot Promised
This Afternoon.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.-Under an
agreement that they would vote today
on the bill to prohibit gambling in cot
ton futures, the committee on inter-
state m decided by a vote Of
8 to s TO report II to tho Senate with.
out recommendation.
Three sections of the bill, as It
passed the House, were eliminated by
the Senate committee ana some of the
friends of the measu say that the
changes would make the measure non
effective.
The sections struck out are those
which would authorize agents of tele-
graph, telephone or cable companies
to administer oaths in their efforts to
ascertain whether messages offered for
transmission were In violation of the
law; declaring that books, newspapers,
pamphlets, letters or other writings
OF publications containing quotations
which might induce the making of
contracts In violation of the proposed
law should be non-mailable, and pro-
viding that the acknowledgement,
upon evidence satisfactory to himself
might return mail to the senders
when he believed 1t to be unlawful
under the proposed act.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-Heavy rains
weakened the wheat market today
In particular there was a thorough
drenching of the whole of Kansas,
where the drought WAS regarded as
effectually broken. Gables, too, were
dlsa appointing to the bulls. AT Liver
pool little or no response was made to
the strength yesterday on this side.
the chief influence in the English
market being the enlarged amount Of
shipments from the Argentine. Open
ing prices here were kmM to %@%
lower. May started at 91if TO 91ss. q
decline of h@% to %@%, and fell to
91as.
Corn eased off a little with wheat
at the outset, but afterward devel-
oped strength on account of the IN
settled weather interfering with de
llveries and sales by farmers. May
opened a shade off at 1875 and rallied
to 49M.
Although trade in oats was small.
the market became firm on buying for
a local Spectator. May started g
sixteenth to Is up at 3i5s G31A to 31&
but reacted to 91fs.
Provisions gave evidence of being
affected by a rising tendency in the
hog market. First sales were 5 higher
to 2M down, with May options at
1922 for pork, $40 for lard and $40.
also for ribs.

Noon-The, feature of the market
during the morning session was Its
resistance to continued selling, in con-
trast with the marked weakness ais
played yesterday under similar con-
ditions. Bear pressure was met with
support of q significant character, and
the shorts hastily covered, carrying
prices substantially above yesterdays
closing. Some selling was induced by
the announcement of the illness of a
leading capitalist, but when an au-
thoritative statement was issued de-
claring that II was not OF a serious
| nature the upward movement assumed
greater Roadway. Stocks in which the
family interest Is reported to be very

MEXICAN RESURRECTION
MAKES MINES SHUT DOWN.

Ell PASo. Tex, Feb. 17.-Americans
here are seriously worried over the
mining and business situation in Chi
huahua. The insurrectos have not done
any fighting sufficient to give any hope
of an insurrecto victory. and the fed
erals appear to be making only q de-
fensive campaign, hence the instruction
promises to go on for months. Mean
time mines in Mexico are shut down
for lack of transportation, because the
roads are cut and mine interests are
suffering,
The 1,400 soldiers In Juarez are APP
parently satisfied to do garrison duty
and let the surrounding country take
care Of Itself. Meantime Juares Ia still
isolated from the rest Of the Mexican
republic because of the railroads hav-
ing beer out for more than two wrecks.
