SENATORS ARE
SWEATING BLOOD"

The following article from q re-
cent issue of the Washington Post,
indicates the political complications
caused by the tariff bill now under
consideration in the senate
"Unable to obtain any assistance
from their own democratic senators
thousands of planters, manufactur-
ers, and business men of the south
crn states are now swamping the
republicans ofithe senate with let
ters and kilograms pleading for
modification of the new atariff
bill.
"Most of the letters state very
frankly that appeals have been
made to the southern senators, but
the replys have been non-committal.
"The southern senators, in the
words of one of their number are
sweating blood. They realize,
it is said, that they have been plac-
ed at a disadvantage by the nom
compromise attitude of President
Wilson.
"The same thing is true of Wes-
t .rn Democratic senators. One Of
them has made the following state
ment TO O score Of his fellow mem
bers: ! will vote for the tariff bill
but it will mean my defeat when
come up for reelection.
alt is from real fear, it is said,
that the democrats have resorted to
the threat of imprisonment for man
neacturers who close their mills OF
reduce wages. They feel that the
result of the tariff bill may be 4
ground swell of resentment against
the democratic members, which
will throw many Of them out o.
their jobs.
"There are great many demo
Gratis in the senate who would lik
to vote against the tariff bill. The,
! give due weight TO the letters 0
protest, but they feel that the alter
native course is cut of by anothe
: danger - presidential ostraclsm
They recognize Mr.. Wilson as
formidable campaigner, and sa
. he would go into their states I
defeat them, and that all hope 3
patronage would be lost TO them

Meanwhile they continue to swes

Grain Notes

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Sentl-
ment IN wheat Is somewhat bearish with
the outside trade light. The bears are
talking lower prices, but conservative
people are looking at the market as a
carrying charge proposition and do not
expect much change from present levels
until the Northwestern crop is prao-
tically made. Bulls in corn are figuring
that as corn IS a weather market It
should be bought on all breaks, while
some of the bear traders believe that
1t should be sold on bulges. Sentiment
on oats is mixed"
II ia said that farmers IN Illinois and
Indiana VIII not sell corn or oats at
present levels.
Bartlett. Frazier & Co.: "Wheat-The
market seems to have little or no rally
ing power. but we do not care to follow
the decline, and think some reaction Is
overdue
"Corn-We look for a nervous market,
but believe prices viii rule firm
"Oats-The lack OF outside support,
coupled with heaviness in the ash SIT
uation resulting i'm further scattered
Liquidation and exceedingly heavy short

"PrOvisions-There was more or less
profit taking yesterday, but the declines
were moderate and the market by no
means is a weak one"

COTTON GOSSIP

NEW YORK. July 16.-The market
has ruled quiet but steady. There was
some selling Of August on and after the
opening, which was attributed to Liv-
erpool, and the buying of the summer
options seem to come from the spot in
terests here.
The rally came on buying by the
same brokers on yesterday and there
was very little cotton for sale a prom
inent Wall Street operator is said to be
among the principal buyers to-day.
The continued dry weather in Texas is
said to be the cause for buying of the
new crop.
Sentiment is somewhat more bullish
to-day and further advance is looked
for, though the bears contend that a
