Washington, Jan. 24.-President Will
sons historic address to the world is
before the senate today. 1t seemed cer-
tain early today consideration would
be confined for the present to the ques-
tion of whether on Monday there shall
be full and unlimited debate upon the
proposals made by the presidents.
Republicans, led by Senators Cum
that the president apparently became
convinced if the war is to end equit
ably, without the sting of resentment
and "fires of hate" remaining, the lib-
erals of the world must bring it to pass;
the liberals of the world and not "di-
vine right" monarehs must bring it
about.

to charge the defendant with perjury,
but which declared instead that he

NEW YORK, March 9.-Only three
months were traded in on the call at the
opening of the cotton market, May show
ing gain of 13 points July being up II
points and October advancing 3 points. The
tone was firm.
The feature Of the early dealings was
a bid by a local operator of 1900 for
10000 bales Of October when that option
was selling at 1860 and this bid brought
out only about 800 bales at the higher
figure.
Spot houses operated on both sides of the
near months probably buying on balance.
Southern interests purchased and commits
sion houses sold. There was a moderate
demand from Liverpool for May, which was
supplied. .a ..-.... .......
After some early irregularity the market
became steady. Demand was not particu-
larly active or aggressive, but near months
shorts showed nervousness over the spot
situation, which was emphasized by con-
tinued shipments from the local stocks
May contracts sold up to 1855 during
the middle Of the morning or about 20
points net higher. Prospects for warmer
and unsettled weather in Texas, with rain
in the northwestern. part of the State, con-
sidered favorable and probably helped to
hold back the new crop months.
Early afternoon trading was limited al
most entirely to room interests in which
prices lost part of the earlier Improvement
The exports for the day aggregated s777
bales.

Chicago, March 9--There was a reaction
i'm wheat today following strength at the
opening, when bullish sentiment was ram
pant Shorts and many buyers then took con-
siderable amounts but the bulge brought
a great many fresh offerings on sale the
action of the market was a distinct disap-
pointment and much long stuff was aban-
doned
The trade placed a bullsh construction
on the Government report on farm reserve,
and this was responsible for some OF the
buying at the start. The supplementary
statement showing only about sO'oOo'ooo
bushels in mills and country elevators was
viewed as especially bulish, and, with nor
NAL consumption, it was figured that there
was little left for export aside from what
in transit
1t was reported that exporters were
again trying to resell. but confirmation was
lacking. and this, with predictions OF un-
settled weather, had bearish effect. The
best prices were made at the opening
