BUYERS SUPPORT KEEPS COTTON UP Stands at Advance Through out Session at New
 Orleans

New Orleans, January 25-Cotton stood at an advance throughout the session, al- though at one time a reaction to levels below Saturdays close was threatened. At the best of the day the trading months were 16 to F points up. The close was at a net gain of points. It was generally considered that the chief support came from buyers for investment.
 Liverpool was better than due when the market opeend and first trades were at rise of to points. After the opening call the advance was lost, some little liquidation coming out while short offer ings were heavy. The downward turn brought in fresh buying orders on a standing at noon 15 to 16 points over last week. S close. The advance was well main- tained until during the last half hour of business when scalping longs took prof. under their offerings.
 A good demand for spots and the con- tinued large export movement were the main bullish influence at work. Bulls made much of the announcement that local cotton mill was preparing to op- crate night and day.

UNITED STATES MAY CONSTRUCT ANOTHER CANAL IN THE FUTURE
Secretary Bryan Explains Negotiations for Options on Route Through Nica-
 ragua and Costa Rica

Washington. January 23.--Sug gest- ing it was not unlikely the United States some day would build an inter oceanic waterway to supplement the Panama canal. Secretary Bryan tonight explained that he regarded 1t as a wise precaution for the American govern .ment to negotiate treaties with Near agua and Costa Rica, giving this .coun- try an option on a canal route across that part of Central America. He also said the state department was prepared to treat with Honduras. Salvador and Nicaragua for naval base in the Bay of Fonseca.
 Any great enterprise like the Pan anna canal" said Mir, Bryan. involves uncertainties. For long time the route across Nicaragua was regarded as the favored route. As a matter of busi- tinRencies'
 The secretary explained at great length the purpose of tho pending Nic- araguan treaty, which, in its original form, awakened a protest from Costa hlca as well as Honduras and Saliva dor. He expressed tho opinion that
 
 understanding of the purposes of the United States and thought the situ alton had been clarified by the an nounced purpose of the United States to treat liberally with Honduras and Salvador for their rights in the Bay Of Fonseca and with Costa Rica sep arately for her portion of the River San Juan. which forms a part of one of the suggested routes. AS result of these treaties the Uni ted States, by. the payment of s3,O0U.- 900 to Nicaragua and about half that amount to Costa Rica. would obtain an option of any canal route across those two countries.
 MT. Bryan explained that when Costa Rica protested that her rights were not recognized fin the Nicaraguan treaty the American government pointed out that whenever the canal was dug and there was any threatened interference with Costa Rica's right we would take unNthc matter with them, but we told them We would purchase an option at any times.
 What Costa Rica complained of" he added, was that digging this canal would affect them. If you examine the treaty with Nicaragua you will find reference Is made to the use of Costa Rican land in making the canal, and I told them that whenever we had to do anything that affected their land we would, of course, purchase the option at once It may have been that Costa Riea misunder- stood the proposition and thought it in- cluded the 'Platt amendment but we had no thought of that"
 As to the naval base in the Bay of Fonseca, the purchase of which Is pro vided for in the pending treaty with Nicaragua, Secretary Bryan said that while the bay touched the shores of Hon duras and Salvador as well as Nicara- qua, there was no joint ownership of the portion sold by Nicaragua. We have considered all the claims that Salvador has presented" he added, and while we do not concede he, right to object to what Nicaragua does we are willing to treat her the same as Nicara- qua; to buy a naval base from each of them so we would have the whole bay to choose from.

 T am not arguing against buying a ship, but against buying an internation- al quarrel with each ship. If we are to maintain neutrality, we must hold close to it. If you precipitate this coun- try into an international controversy when Europe may feel that we have taken sides. we will rend ourselves
 Senator Williams replied that he be- lieved Great Britain would be glad to see the entire German merchant ma or foolish enough to buy an informed and that Germany would, in time. be glad to see England's ships in the same position.
