MARKET BREAKS AND
 PRICES FALL LOWER
Moderate Early Gain Is Lost and
 Close is Barely Steady at 1 to 8 Points Off.-ClOsing Prices Within Point or two of Lowest.

New York, Jan. 26.-A moderate early advance was followed by an easier turn in the cotton market here today, and after selling at 12.50, July contracts broke to 12.45 closing at 12.46. The general list closed barely steady at net decline of 1 to points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 6 points in response to better cables than due, and active months sold about 6 to 10 points net higher during the early trading. Ru- mors that some ocean freight room was being engaged for shipment to Russia and bullish overnight spot ad- vices probably helped this advance, which carried May contracts up to t2.4G and October to 12.60, or about 9 to 10 points above yesterdays low level.
 Sentiment was unsettled to some extent by break in the stock market after an opening advance and prices turned easier during the middle of the day.
 Offerings became heavier late in the afternon, owing to a break in New Or leans and the appearance here of New Orleans selling orders. March con- tracts sold off from 12.21. this high point of the morning, to 12.08, while May declined to 12.32 and October to .12.43.
 Closing prices were within a point or two of the lowest Private wires from New Orleans attributed the break there to liquidation there caused by decline of about 12 points in the spot market and the New Orleans selling here was one of the chief fac tors in the late trading.

 CONGRESS OPPOSE BILL

Little Rock, March 9.-The Arkan- sas delegation in Congress has been petitioned by the administrative coun- cil of the University of Arkansas to oppose the passage of the McKellar Military School bill.

The council, how ever, endorsed the Pomerene bill, which has been made a part of the administration program of prepared ness and incorporated into the omni- bus bill introduced by Senator Cham berlain.

Next to air, water and food there Is probably nothing more essential to mans existence in the way civiliza- tion prescribes than cotton. A bit of the irony of the gods" is found in the fact that while war has demoralized the cotton industry, yet without cot ton there could be no war. Not single modern gun could be fired, not a battleship sail nor an army be put in motion without this wonderful pro- duct of the modest cotton plant, for its fruit is the basis of all high ex- plosives and smokeless powder. A warship is floating cotton mill, from the suits of it's Jack Tars to the grim shells ready as fuel for the mighty guns that make modern warfare so terrible.

SENATE PASSES THE
 SHIELDS BILL
Measure Permitting the Devel- Opment of Water Power in Navigable Streams by Private Concerns Before Senate.

Washington, March S.-The senate tonight, after four weeks of debate, passed the Shields bill to provide for development of water power in navi- gable waters by private capital The vote was 46 to 22. Conservation champions fought hard to amend the measure. but without success.
 Several senators voted for the bill who had opposed it during the debate. One of them, Senator Walsh, said he considered it had legislation, but firmly believed it would be amended in the house. An amendment by Sen ator Chiffon requiring the secretary of war to decide contests for permits to build dams in favor of the appli- cant offering the lowest priced service to the public was defeated 30 to 21.
 Senator Reed attacked the provision of the bill for contests being decided in favor of the applicant able to guar antee the best construction, declaring that this would result in the best sites going to the interests now operating power plants. He declared the meas ure would grant corporations absolute control of the country's water power for long time.
 'I believe that back of this law IS the same crowd that was back of the Coosa river project in Alabama,' he said.
 The Shields bill had been under almost continuous debate since t he passage of the Philippine bill, Febru- ary 1.

those three times have been under
