Parliament Votes Not to
Discuss Irish Politics

London October 19.-Parliament
Wednesday after set debate In the
House of Commons decided by a majority
of 1877 that it was undesirable at present
to discuss Irish controversial domestic
politics.
The Irish question was brought up by
John Redmond, the nationalist leader,
who introduced motion to the effect
that 1.-The system of government at pres
ent maintained in ireland is inconsistent
with the principle for which the allies
are fighting in Europe, and is, or has
been, mainly responsible for the recent
unhappy events and for the present state
of feeling in that country
An amendment to this motion, intro
duced by John D. Rawlinson, represent
ing Cambridge university, declared that
lit is not desirable at the present time
to discuss controversial matters of do
mestic politics" This amendment was
adopted by a vote of 1903 to 106, thus
eliminating the Redmond motion.
The debate reached high level, notably
the speech of Mr.. Redmond, attacking
the government administration Of Ire
land, especially with regard to questions
of recruiting and the treatment of rebel
prisoners and that of David Lloyd
George, Secretary for War, who made
a conciliatory speech which did much to
remove the adverse impression created in
the nationalist ranks by the speeches of
Premier Asquith and the chief secretary
of ireland, Henry Edward Duke.

Judge benson Reaches No
Decision Yet as to His
Candidacy for Governor

Montgomery, October 1s-(Special.)
Judge N. D. benson of Opelika, who
has been mentioned often as candi-
date for governor, stated when here today
that he has not reached a decision as
to whether he will court gubernatorial
honors, but that it is a matter on which
he must reach a conclusion ultimately.
II have not given the matter sul1i-
cient consideration as yet TO arrive at
a decision" said Judge benson. How
ever, many of my friends are urging
me to make the race, and I must. out
of consideration to them. come to some
conclusion ultimately. The matter now
is in statu quo as regards myself ana
/ certainly can reach no definite de-
cision until after the election, at any
rate"
Judge benson was formerly mem-
Der of the supreme court and was a
delegate from Alabama to the
democratic national convention last
summer. In his race for delegate he
was supported both by prohibitionists
and local optionists owing to the ract
that, although he believes in the prin-
ciples of prohibition. he is an ardent
exponent of states rights and does not
think that the liquor problem should
be solved by federal prohibition
amendment.
However" he said in discussing this
question here, II am in favor of strict
federal regulation to prevent the ship
ment of liquor from wet into dry
state"
Judge benson was in Montgomery
on account of the illness of his son-in-
law, Charles ID. Tallman.

COTTON MARKET
IS VERY NERVOUS
Reactionary Sentiment Fol-
lows Record Breaking Adj
vance and Prices Decline

New York, October l9.-The cotton
today. Reactionary sentiment which had
developed after the record breaking ad-
vance of yesterday morning was modi-
fed to some extent by unfavorable
weather conditions, but every bulge
seemed to meet increased offerings and
after selling at 1S.57c during the morn
ing, January broke to 1920, closing at
IS 26c The general list closed steady at
net decline of "a to 20 points.
The market opened steady at a decline
of 2 to 81 points under overnight selling
orders, and in response to relatively easy
cables. There seemed to be a very good
demand around 1890 for January or
about 4S points under the high record of
yesterday morning and prices steadied up
during the forenoon. Fresh buying
through commission houses was factor,
sellers for profits were replacing their
cotton, and there may also have been
some trade buying of near months. De-
cember rallied from 1880 to 1859, and
March from 1880 to 1850, with active
months selling to 6 points net higher.
Apprehensions that killing temperatures
would follow the heavy rains reported in
the belt as a result of the gulf disturb
ance which passed into the interior yes
terday, undoubtedly encouraged this ad-
vance, and there was also buying on an
idea that the south had sold a sufficient
proportion of it's crop to hold the remain
der for higher prices. Offerings in
creased above the 1S1a-cent level for
January however, and the market was
unsettled in the late trading. Selling for
a reaction seemed to gain confidence
owing to the failure of demand to
broaden more rapidly on the forenoon
rally, while there appeared to be appre-
tensions of renewed submarine activity,
and some southwestern selling here was
accompanied by rumors that the demand
from domestic spinners had fallen off
The late break carried December off to
1880, and March to 1S32c or 20 to 81
points net lower. Closing prices were
or points up from the lowest on COW
ering 1t was rumored that private re-
turns indicated a ginning of 772O0o0 bales

NEW HIGH LEVELS
FOR WHEAT PRICES
Canadian Crop Reports In
dictate Extensive Damage
and Prices Rise

Chicago, october 19.--New high price
levels were reached today in the wheat
market here and prices finished strong
at a net advance of % q &c for ac-
tive months, with December at s16S%
q 169 and May at $1.6S5s @1.6S7s, but
unchanged to one-half cent lower for
July. Crop reports from Canada were
the darkest yet received and advices
from Argentine told of continued dam
age from drouth. Corn scored a gain
of &c net and oats of Is q &C to lie
In provisions the outcome ranged from
the same as yesterdays close to a rise
of 67kc.
Bulls in wheat gave special atten-
ton today to reports that not only
was half or more of the Canadian crop
covered with snow but also that the
grain in question was rains soaked and
frozen, According to one authority the
railway trains from the Canadian
wheat growing districts were crowded
with outside laborers leaving the
country. In addition, the Canadian gov
eminent was said to be calling away
soldiers who had been loaned to farm
ers' to help out with threshing which
the weather conditions had now rem
dered next to impossible. With such
reports current lower cable quotations
failed to cause more than a brief show
of weakness in the market here AS
sisted by liberal purchase on Eu-
ropean account and by urgent specu-
lative domestic demand prices contin-
ued to ascend until the last hour of
the session.
Realizing of profits led to something
of a setback for wheat prices during
the late dealings. Every decline, how
ever. ran into good buying and all
the offerings were absorbed.
Dollar a bushel corn was nearly APP
preached today, No. yellow selling
here at 961ac, the highest since 1892.
The exhaustion of stocks in Chicago
together with rough weather in the
corn belt tended to lift prices and so,
too, did the bulge In wheat. Oats rose
with corn and wheat. There were ex-
port orders here for oats but lack of
shipping facilities prevented execu-
ton.
Provisions went up to the highest
point yet this season. 1t was said that
purchases for Belgium had been larger
than the trade had been led to ex-
pect
