WILSON AND UNDERWOOD TALK
PlfESIDENT-EL AND HOUSE
LEADER DISCUSS TARIFF.
Governor Says No Conclusions Have
Been Reached in Meeting With
Committee Chairman.

trenton y. j., Dec. 31.-President-
elect Wilson finished his political ac-
tivities for the year 1912 by complet-
ing today the series Of conferences he
planned soon after election with lead
ers of the Democratic party.
The president-elect had a long talk
with Oscar Underwood, Democrat
ic leader Of the house, discussing prin-
cipally plans for tariff revision, but
nothing definite came from either
man after the conference to indicate
what particular schedules would be
taken up or other details of what rlay
be expected in the coming extra ses-
sion.
Gov. Wilson said he merely had
asked and obtained from Mr.. Under
wood what he sought from w. ].
Bryan and Speaker Champ Clark,
with whom he previously had con-
ferred-his views and opinion about
the personnel of the administration
and executive policies.
Mr.. Underwood and l." said Gov.
Wilson, went through the process of
consultation that l adopted with the
other men who have been to see me-
[ asked his advice as to men and
measures. We spent most Of the time
outlining and discussing the pros and
cons of the programme for the extra
session. We did not come to any con-
clusions; we just canvassed matters"
| he remarked.
Gov Wilson was asked if a date
was decided upon for the extra ses-
sion.
I'VE took that up only casually"
| was the reply. Mr.. Underwood
| thought, as we all think, that the
earlier it is called the better"
The governor declared, however,
| that while he soon might decide on
just what dale the extra session should
convene, he would not make the an
nouncement until after he had been
| inaugurated.
Mr.. Wilson added that in his con-
| ference he had talked over the ad-
visibility of a large or small pro-
! gramme for the extra session and that
Mr.. Underwood had expressed his
| ideas on the subject
| No conclusions were reached"
said the governor with q smile inti-
mating that there was no particular
necessity for an early decision Of this
| question.
When Mr.. Underwood left the gov
ernor's office he declined TO mention
specific things he had talked about
I'D prefer to leave that to the
governor" he said Il had a very
satisfactory talk and a very pleasant
one. II was largely about what will
come up at the extra session and not
so much about the cabinet
| Mr.. Underwood was asked whether
there would be any factional troubles
in the house and whether in view Of
| Mr.. Bryan's opposition to him early
last year, any discussion was ex-
| pected.
There won't be any trouble" he
said. You remember the wooden

COTTON MARKET FORECAST.
ONE HOLIDAY TO BRENKE THE
TRADING.
Although End OF Ginning Period Is
Tuesday, Report by Census Bureau
VIII Not be Issued UntII January o.

New Orleans. Dec. 29.-The cotton
market promises To be quiet again
this week There will be only one
holiday New Years day. but tn,
will break the tradias up considera ole
and probably very few operations OF
any size will be undertaken.
The most interesting item in con-
nection with this coming week is tho
fact that Tuesday ends tho presen.
ginning period, although tho repor;
on II by the census bureau will not
be 'ss,ied until January Q. This re-
port Is considered important by both
sid's, and II Is certain that private
bureau estimates OF the amour. of
cotton ginned during the period will
be eagerly received and they may in
fiuence prices one way or another,
although the private bureau estl-
mates last period were considerably
out OF line with the actual figures. AT
the moment bears seem TO think the
report will favor them.
Signs OF further falling off in the
export movement will be looked :,r
this week.
Etclining ocean freight rates have
been accepted as proof that the for
eiFu dmand Is not as good as IL was
and In some quarters 1t is claimed
that January shipments will not be
large.
The principal point In this relation
AZ To the effect such developments
will have on spot demand. Any
Weakening In the spot situation will,
have a quick and depressing influence
on the future market
Great interest is being taken in
new crop preparations and all parts
OF the belt will be watched this week
In order that the amount of new crop
work may be sized up. Bears think
the acreage this season will break
all records and are securing informa-
ton from ali sections OF the South
Co back up their claim. A great
amount ot winter plowing has already
been done and increased activity alons
this line may have a bearish infiu-
ence on the new crop months.
