WOOL GROWERS DISCUSS
TARIFF SCHEDULE.
GAS. EIEcTRIc AND FRACTION.

PORTLAND. Ore. Jan. 4-The tariff
question is a live topic among the dele
gates to the forty-second annual con-
Yention of the National Wool Growers
Association, which held it's opening ses-
sion here today. That the wool grower
is opposed to any change in the wool
schedule is evidenced on every hand.
Each delegate that has arrived has lost
no time in stating his position on this
subject.
State Senator Fred II. Blume, of Wy
oming, today advocated change in the
method of taxation on wool, which, If
put into effect, would place the worsted
manufacturers and carded wooden men
on a more equal footing, and at the
same time be beneficial to wool growers.
This change and its a%ceruing bene-
fits, Mr.. Blume believed, could be
brought about by assessing the tariff on
clean wool, instead of on wool In the
grease. and by placing two wool on the
same footing as wool of the first class.
Mr.. Blume charged that the growers
of wool under the present tariff ar
rangements receive only about half of
the amount of protection which they
are promised under the Law.

TIE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline of
sag points under scattering liquidation
and local bear pressure, inspired by
disappointing Liverpool cables and yes
terday's rumors that ginning for the
period would amount to a little over
400, 900 bales, although these still lack
confirmation Active positions sold off
10 a net loss of 10g11 points during the
early trading, but there was a good de-
mand On the decline partly from lead
ing bulls. The market steadied conse-
q~uently and rallied a point or two from
the lowest during the middle of the
morning.
Trading became less active during
the late forenoon. and the market con-
tinued to 1uctuate n%ervously within
a range of 4 or s points, with prices at
midday showing a net loss of about
S@s points. Offerings seemed to In
crease on slight rallies, while there
were evidences of renewed bull sup
port on the dips.
The market showed wen greater ner-
vousness during the afternoon and
prices gradually eased off to a net
loss of about 17Q19 points on the active
months under scattering liquidation
and local bear pressure.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-Favorable crop
advices from Europe today took the
buoyancy out Of the market here. In
France particularly the outlook was
reported as more hopeful. Liverpool
dispatches, moreover, told of a less
persistent demand from the continent.
Then, too, although 1t was denied that
big local holders We're unloading, there
could be no doubt that considerable
pr~oft-taking had been met with. Prices
opened q shade to 9s lower. May
started at 9s% to 1895, a loss of a six
tenth to A@%. n steadied around
9S1a.
Lightness Of primary receipts helped
prevent any material further decline.
The close, however, was easy, with May
at 1914, a net loss of %@M.
Confirmation of Argentine rains made
corr easy. There was also a big in
crease reported in local contract stocks.
May opened unchanged to a shade off
at 4SMG49 to 40, and sold at 4SB.
Absence of demand for cash corn had
a somewhat depressing effect. The
close was steady, with May B@A cent
net lower, al 4SH as.
The oats market, unlike other grain,
was steady. Scarcely any business,
however, developed. May started the
same as last night, at 34A, and kept
within a shade Of that price.
Selling by a leading Milwaukee pack
er weakened provisions. First trans
actions were unchanged to 5 cents
down. with May deliveries at 1870 to
1875 for pork, 1915 for lard. and $50
for tibs. Further declines followed.
