PLAN LIKELY TO FAIL

The Southern proposal to issue SJO.-
10000 In emergency currency for relief
Of cotton growers in the Southern states
will come up for a vote in the House
today. This question was agitated with
great vehemence Just before adjournment
In October. and promises to be fought
with considerable bitterness throughout
the current session Present indications
are that the cotton currency will fail
tomorrow. At least that is the belief Of
Representative Glass. Of Virginia, chair
man OF the Committee on Banking and
Currency and other spokesmen OF the
administration.
The cotton currency plan Is embodied
in an amendment offered by Represen-
tative Henry. Of Texas. to q bill re-
ported at the last session Increasing the
amount Of emergency circulation that
may be issued by banks on commercial
paper. The bin and amendment are to
be considered under a rule which pro-
vides that the measure shall be recon-
mitted TO the Banking and Currency
committee. and reported with the Henry
proposal for an issue Of $50. .0oo. 900 OF
cotton currency. II the motion to recon-
NIT Is defeated. Il will be the end Of cot
ton currency for the present
On the other hand, IL II carries. the
bill will be reported, and another vote
will be had without delay on the bill
and amendment A defeat for cotton
currency does not mean that this prop
osition Is dead. In the event OF a fall
ure today, Representative Henry an
nounced. Southern members will resort
TO every legitimate expedlent through
out the session TO induce Congress to
issue cotton currency.
Glass to Oppose P1ah.
Administration oficiais are banking
on a statement to be made by Chair
man Glass today to defeat the cotton
currency amendment Mr.. Glass will
announce that the Federal Reserve
Board has withdrawn its support from
the commercial paper bill, to which
the Henry proposal now Is attached
under the rule. Chairman Glass will
have conference today with Federal
board members. He wants to ascer-
tain the present wishes OF the board
relative to the pending bill permitting
member banks to transfer practically
all of their reserves to regional banks.

Rainy weather in Argentina causing
delay to shipments destined for Eu-
rope. gave wheat bulls an advantage
that was made more emphatic by a
fresh reduction in the estimates of the
Argentine exportable surplus, Accord
ing to the latest figures the surplus
will be nearly 5o.0o0.oo0 bushels short
of last year. Foreign buying here was
the result. At the same time fear of
harder weather in the United States

Ing strength of the market
Temperatures 22 below zero in the
northwest caused uneasiness on the
part of the wheat shorts regarding the
outlook for the winter crop. The ten
sion was heightened by the fact that
damage from unusual cold in western
Europe had led to material advances
at Paris and to a still higher jump in
Antwerp.
Assertions came from Boston that
exporters there were bidding for corn.
A substantial bulge in the market here
onsued. Several big houses with large
following switched from the bear side.
IL was noticeable that cash interests
lifted the January price sharply as a
help in shipping sales.
Oats had Independent strength owing
to advices that the yield in Argentina
would be only about half what the
trade had been led to expect.
Speculative buying in which stock
yard dealers took the lead put the pro-
vision market up. Selling was not suf-
ficient to prevent demand from becom-
ing fairly urgent.

STEADY TONEA
CLOSE IN COTTON
Moderate Buying Later Put
Contract Market to
Highest Levels

New Orleans, January 22-While
cline all day the tone was steady and
resistance to bear pressure was shown
more than once. Buying was not large
at any time. Moderate buying late in
the session. after the announcement of
an advance of 3-16c a pound In local
spot quotations, put the contract mar
ket to the highest levels of the day
and caused a very steady tone on the
close.
Favorable spot reports were the chief
support of the future market through
out the session. Bulls made no effort
to follow up their advantage, which
attitude appeared to be due to the fear
that tomorrow's census bureau report
on ginning would be rather full.
The opening was steady at a loss
of to points on poor cables. so far
as Liverpool contracts were concerned.
The large spot sales in the Liverpool
market offset. to some extent, the de-
cline in futures. The lowering of the
Bank of England rate to per cent was
considered a bullish feature of i'm
portance but 1t did not stimulate buy
ing. At noon prices were to 6
points down and in the afternoon fol-
lowing the posting of spot quotations
they were 2 to 8 down. The close was
at a net loss of 4 to points.
