COTTON MILL DEVELOPMENT.
Sections in Construction During
1912.

Washington, Jan. S.-President
Finley, of the Southern Railway Com
p2ny, commenting today upon the
recorC of cotton mill construction dur
ing the calendar year 1912, said:
The Southeastern States led all
other sections of the country in cotton
mill development in 1912. There
were 81 new mills built in the United
State during the year. OF these 20
We're II the Southeastern States. Out
# $500 new spindles $4,000, or
so per cent, were in Southeastern
mills, and out Of 9,744 new looms, g.
45O, or &c per cent, were in south
eastern mills. These figures refer
only TO new mills and take no ac-
count of the large additions made
during the year TO existing plants by
which the manufacturing capacity of
the section was largely Increased. The
agt gate increase has been so great
as practically to insure the mainte-
nance OF the record made by the cot
ton-producing States in the year end
ed ..ugust 81, 1912, when the mills
of the South consumed more cotton
thau those of all other sections OF
the United States"

DISAGREE ON NOMINATIONS.
REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC
SENATOR'S STILL AT ODDS.
&. o. II. Men Refuse to Accept Com
promise by Which Certain Ap.
pOintments Shall be Confirmed.

. Washington, Jan. 1O.-Efforts b,
Democratic senate leaders to make
an agreement with the Republican
forces for joint committee TO go over
President Taft's recent appointments
and select certain nominations that
should be confirmed by the senate met
with failure today.
Attempt at a compromise was the
result of meeting of the special
committee appointed by the Demo
, cratic caucus in December TO solve q
method Of handling the hundreds of
appointments that have been sent in
by the president since December Is.
Leaders informally proposed to take
up the task Of wedding out" the
pending nominations. A number OF
Republicans were called together to
consider the proposal, and promptly
rejected it,
The outcome Of the failur- Will be
a renewal Of the fight between the
two parties next week. 1t is expected
that an executive session Of e sem
ate will be held Tuesday or N,ednes-
day. The Republican forces then will
insist that nominations be taken up in
thelr regular order and that no dis
elimination be shown against any of
the Taft nominations. A conference of
democrats will be held tomorrow to
determine what action shall be taken.
Republicans declared today there
would be no attempt to filibuster
against the Democrats or to keep the
senate in continuous executive ses-
sion; but an attempt would be made
at once to force an issue with the
Democrats as to the method of pro-
cedure upon the various appointments.
ITO submit the question of nomi-
nations to committee would require
the holding Of Republican caucus"
said Senator Smoot tonight THAT was
not practicable and we concluded for
that and other reasons that the pre-
ferable plan was to allow the nomina-
tions to come before the entire sem
ate in the usual way We shall insist
that the calendar be taken up in the
order in which the nominations ap-
pear"
The refusal of the Republicans to
make any compromise upon the Taft
appointments will have the effect Of
hating the plan that the Democratic
leaders had agreed to support for the
confirmation Of army. navy and diplo-
matte nominations.

COTTON PRICES DECLINE.
MORE OR LESS GENERAL LIOUI.
DATION DURING WEEK.
What Buying Has Been Observed At
tributed To Calling by Spinners.
Some Nervousness.

New York, Jan. 10.-Cotton has de-
clined during the past week under
more or less general liquidation, with
active spring deliveries selling about
$3.50 per bale under the high records
OF last month. There has been a good
deal of trade buying on a scale down.
part of which, at least lis believed to
have reflected calling" by spinners,
but no general demand has developed
and while values at the close Of busi-
ness today showed moderate rallies,
sentiment appeared OF a decidedly
bearish average. Southern advices
have indicated very little disposition
on the lpart of spot holders to meet
the break in futures, but the recent
advance In January is now said 10
have attracted shipments of from 25,-
600 to $4,000 bales from the South
for contract delivery, and the reports
for continued slack spot demand,
cciaS.ned with the nearer approach
OF tho planting season, have encour-
aged increased confidence in predic-
tions Of ultimate selling pressure from
primary sources, which are still sup
posed to be holding 100000 or over.
The decision Of the supreme court in
the cotton pool case of 1910 seemed
to add TO the nervousness Of the scat
tering long interest, while the census
figures showing 12,919,000 bales gin
ned, TO January 1, proved slightly in
excess of general expectations. Liv-
erpool has been relatively steady and.
according to advices lis more impress
ed by the activity of the goods trade
with small Southern spot offerings and
the rapidly decreasing movement
than by the predictions Of greatly in
creased acreage or of possible weak
ness among remaining old crop hold
ers.

PEOPLE CATCH ON SLOWLY.
Number Of Mistakes Made Daily by
People Who Send off Parcels.

The people are gradually, although
slowly, catching on to the regulations
governing the parcels post law which
is now in effect. Daily, however, mis-
takes are made by those sending off
packages, mistakes due in large part
to the fact that the senders have not
inquired for information at the post
office or read any of the printed ar
ticles relating to the operation of the
parcels post.
The chief mistake made is the
sending of packages by parcels post
without the name of the sender in
scribed on it. This requirement must
be complied with, or the person to
whom the package is sent will not
receive it, as it is held and later sent
to the dead letter office Stamps
other than parcels post stamps are
put on packages which cf course
have to he turned back 70 the sender
for the regulation stamps.
1t has been noticed at the local
postoftice that not a great many of
the parcels sent off are insured, the
senders evidently being willing to
trust to the mails without any extra
precautions
