Til final struggle In the senate
began 1t 4 o'clock yesterday, when
under a previous agreement arbi-
trary voting began on pending
amendments.
1t was nearly 5;30 o'clock when
the vice president put the bill
upon It's passage. The vote was
"A to 81.
Its passage was attended with
surprises In the final moments of
the voting, when Senator La Fol-
lette, republican. cast his vote
with the democrats. and was
joined q few moments later by
Senator Poindexter. progressive.
The democrats had counted
throughout the long tariff fight
upon losing the votes of Senators
RansdelI and Thornton of Louisi-
ana, democrats, who voted
against the bill because It would
| put sugar on the free list.
Until the names OF Senators La
| Toilette and Poindexter actually
were called, however, no one
knew definitely the stand they
would take, and their votes were
greeted with enthusiastic APP
plause.
| Senator Simmons. chairman OF
the finance committee who had
piloted the bill through the
finance committee. the edemo-
cratic caucus and the Ssenate,
predicted that its PASSAGE would
bring immediate stimulus to
the business of the country.
As 1t passed the senate, the
tariff bill represents an average
reduction of more than 4 per
cent from the rates Of the origi-
nal bill that passed the house
and almost % per cent from the
rates of existing laws.

In fact, Tacoma firemen have
done such heroic and unspectacu-
lar work time after time, going
calmly into the smoking inferno
of a factory, barn, apartment
house or wareroom, falling at the
front, and returning to the fight
as soon as they could stand erect.

that q city boys greatest hero is

COTTON RALLIES,

No Strike in Lancashire Causes
Good Buyers-Bears Sell on
Promise of Warmer Weather.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE announce
ment by several private cables that no
strike in Lancashire, England. was like
". coupled with much better cables
from Liverpool than due. resulted in the
cotton market opening steady to-day
with first prices at a net advance Of
9 to IS points from the closing quota
tons of Friday.
The thing which injected greater
strength in the English market was the
news of lower temperatures and heavy
rains in the western belt.
The early weather map, however, fall
ed to confirm these reports, showing
fair weather in Texas, Oklahoma and
the eastern States. The map showed no
frost, but cooler weather in cattle Sec
ton of North Texas. The cold wave
was not strong enough for any damage
in the cotton belt, and it is reported
warmer weather will again appear Sum-
day night.
The buying continued rather general
on and after the call by the same inter-
ests as it did Friday. They thought 1t
was bad policy to sell after such a
lieving it would make their position
stronger. Later private wires indicated
some unsettled weather conditions in the
belt This helped them in advancing
prices a few points from the opening.
The ring, however. seemed inclined to
liquidate There was renewed selling
by those who bought heavily on the
belief that bad weather conditions would
develop overnight
As the bears view ii a raise of about
SIS bale is not offset by a decline of
$3.50 bale. They say that six weeks
of continuous buying can not be liqui-
dated in few days. At any rate, they
assert that there is still some long lines
yet to come out
During the last half hour the market
was under pressure. Some of the SELL
ing was attributed to longs who did
not care to carry any great amount of
contracts over the holidays. The list
quickly declined to last nights close,

GRAIN NOTES

The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
1T is the belief of the wheat bulls
that the maximum of the spring wheat
receipts has been reached and that
prices also have been at the lowest
level for some time. A point made
by the bulls yesterday was the advance
OF &c to 1c in cash premiums.
Oats bulls are looking for a better
cash trade as reports from the South
west indicate an Improvement There
was some switching in corn by a num-
Der of bears to the bull side and heavy
closing of spreads in corn and oats by
several big traders who had profits.
Bears were rather skeptical about fol-
lowing the advance, but at the same
time said they were not disposed to sell
snort, except on sharp bulges, due to
weather uncertainties
Bartlett. Frazier Co. says: Wheat
The weather in the Northwest is gener-
any clear with some snow reports in
parts of Canada. We look to see prices
work gradually higher.
'Corn-Short sellers are rather less
aggressive and new buying is much
more in evidence. There is no pressure
Whatever in the way of hedging sales
ana the market seems to have absorbed
the sales of weak longs very readily.
"Oats-As in corn, the undertone Is
better with decidedly less pressure from
both longs and shorts.
Provisions-There is still a fair
amount Of investment buying of the
late months"
