BUSINESS BRISK
ON MORR|SAVENUE
No Changes Noted in Prices.
Supply Equal to the
Demand

Following an upturn in the Liverpool
market and bullish cotton reports. all
large exchanges boosted cotton prices,
despite the uncertain OF the outcome of
the election. Local spot cotton, feeling
the effects of bullish trade mounted to
10 cents on Morris avenue yesterday.
This is the highest market yet reached
here by local spot, and dealers and
brokers yesterday were again optimistic
regarding 2O-cent cotton. Strict low mid
ding is now being quoted at IS cents.
Morris avenue dealers did not suffer
materially by the fevered excitement fol-
lowing the election and the uncertainty
Of the outcome AS a whole, business was
reported better during the middle of the
day than it has been for several days.
No changes were evidenced, while supply
in all lines are adequate to the demand,
except red snapper, in the sea food line.

SENATE NOT SURE WHAT 1T DID
-PRESIDENT SATISFIED

Washington, March 4.-The senate
was still trying hard today to find out
what it really did yesterday in tlbling
Gore resolution. So was the house,
the white house, state department,
newspaper correspondents, and, pre-
sumabIy, whole American nation.
Everybody at the capitol was
doubtful, befuddled and also argu-
mentative. The white house was sat
isfied that the president had been
supported" How far the senate's sup
port was actually recorded was still
an issue which promised wOrdy wars
for many weeks.
Administration supporters today
denounced Cores parliamentary
move in forcing his substitute resO-
luton to the fore and ditching his
original warning resolution as Chi
canery." They insisted it did not af-
feet the real result Of an administra-
ton victory.
Discussion Of armed merchantmen
submarine issue broke again on SEN
ate floor as result of statement read
into record by Senator Lodge, deny
ing that British government ever is
sued warning during the Japanese
Russian war to its citizens to keep off
armed merchantmen.

! HOUSE PoSTPoNES VOTE TO
BACK PRESIDENT

BHSN 7 NEOIDEN
Washington, March a. FOIlowing
today's conference of house leaders,
Democratic Leader Kitchin said it
was practically certain that the house
vote on Rep. McLemOre's resolution
would be postponed until Monday,
and possibly Tuesday. He also said
it was probable the resolution would
be redrafted to have the house vote
directly on the merits of warning
Americans off armed merchantmen.
1t was certain that wide difference
of opinion in the rules committee
the body which must pave the way
for consideration of the McLemOre
resolution by reporting a special rule
for it's dispOsitiOn-was mainly re-
spOnsibIe for the delay.
