New York, Feb. 1.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at decline of to 5 points on the old crop months, which were influenced by disappoint- ing cables. but 3 points higher on the new crop, which raflected support from Wall street sources from the Southwest. Recent buyers appeared inclined to take small profits how ever, and the market during the car ly trading ruled barely steady with prices working off to net loss of about 6 to points on the old crop, while October lost all but a point or two of the early advance. The con- tinued heavy receipts probably inspir- ed part of the selling. The selling was not aggressive. however, and the market during the late forenoon rul- ed steadier again on bullish southern spot advices and further drouth con- plaints with the old crop showing a net loss of only 3 or 4 points. while new crop positions were relatively firm and or points net higher.

NO DISAPPOINTMENT
 OF PENDING BILL Commission Form of Gov. ernment Measure Scores First Bloom in Senate. HARD FIGHT OVER TT Senator COvingt0n Made Impassioned
 Appeal to Colleagues to
 Postpone.
HARD FIGHT OVER TT

Little Rock, Ark. Feb, Lone of the hardest fights that has come up Ill the Senate yet was on the Holland bill for the commission form of gov ernment for cities over 15,OOO popula- ton, where they desire to adopt the same. The fight was one which brought out great floods of oratory. and came up on a motion by Senator Covington to Indefinitely postpone. It was drawn at the solicitation of it's advocates in Fort Smith, endorsed by convention of mayors and city at torneys, and by Judge U. M. Rose. Judge Jacob Trieber and others. On the motion to indefinitely postpone, Senators Holland Watson, Jacobson and Williams made speeches against and Senators Clerget, Robertson. Keel, White. Covington and Herdenson for it. Senator Henderson wanted it to go over for at least two weeks. Senator Keel declared it was matter fraught with great danger, revolu- tionary in its tendency, and direful in its probable results. He declared that it is for centralization whereas the government should be brought closer to the people. It is as differ ent as night and day from the I. and R. Senator Robertson characteriz- ed it as Rooseveltis new nationalism applied to city government, and that Roosevelt is modern. Caesar working for the government of the autocrats Senator Watson said it's opponents had misrepresented it and that it gives the people more power. When the bill almost seemed lost, and the pendulum was swinging toward the Covington motion, Senator Jacobson offered an amendment to confine it to cities of Sebastian county. that they might try it. Senator Williams of Garland said that he thought the peo- pie of Hot Springs should have the right to adopt it if they wanted to do so. Senator Friedell said he had two petitions. one for and one against it and made a motion that further con- sideration be postponed until Feb. 15.
 After a parliamentary wrangle, the Covington motion to postpone indefin- itely was finally put and Senator COvin pfOp c1Ccod tho 3oho%o l., o, ;,,,
 passioned address against the bill in all it's details. declaring that 1t is bad in every way, that it would mean q government by the few supplemented by the Republicans, negroes and cor porations. During the speeches that were made by the learned Senators, great historic knowledge was shown and the records of China, Rome Rus sia and Babylon, as we'll as Dallas and Des Moines, fully exploited. The vote was as follows, by which the mo- tion to postpone indefinitely failed Ayes-Christian, Covington Hender- son. Keel, Robertson, Rodgers of Ben- ton-!6; Nays-CarlLee, Deaton, Dill, Fletcher. Friedell, Green, sHolland, Holt, Hughes Jacobson, Johnson. Martin. Miles, Oldham, Phillips, Raney Rodgers, of Howard, Watson, Will Hams, White. Woods Toney-22 When it comes up again, the Jacobson res olution to confine it to Sebastian county will be pressed. The gen. cral opinion is that the bill will fail to pass the Senate.

TAFT CUT OUT
 ALL BUT ATLANTA Realizes That He Will Be Busy at Time of Proposed
 Southern Trip. A SPECIAL SESSION Of Congress is Believed to Be Pend ing-sDOn't Cross Bridge
 Too SOOn."
International News Special


 Washington, D. C., Feb. 1.-It was announced at the White House today that the President had cancelled all engagements of his Southern trip in March, except his visit to Atlanta.
 The reasons for this action was stated to be two fold: First, that the President knows that he will be pressed by work during the period of the proposed trip, and secondly tha. there was great pressure of an ex- tension of the itinerary.
 President Taft has not intimated in any quarter an opinion for or against an extra session of Congress. He has great faith in the Ability Of Con- gress to make garrison finish. His attitude as expressed to his friends, is the old one, that it is not necessary to cross the bridge until you come to it.
