al Law Favored.
Washington. March 26.-Responsibil
ity for the railway development of the
country, for providing necessary trans
portation facilities to care for the grow
ing business and population Of the
country, now rests largely with con.
sress and not entirely with the rail
road managers. This was the state
ment of Judge Robert S. Lovett. chair
man of the executive committee of the
Union Pacific system. to the Newlands
Joint congressional committee when
that body resumed its inquiry into
the subject of railroad regulation this
week.
In making this statement of the
changed conditions Of the railroad sit
uation Judge Lovett undoubtedly had
in mind the decision of the supreme
court on the Adamson law, handed
down last week. which establishes the
right of the federal government to fix
railroad wages and to prevent strikes.
This decision Is regarded by railroad
men and lawyers as marking an epoch
in the development of transportation
in the United States.
I'VE have our share of responsible
ity," said Judge Lovett, "but it rests
primarily on congress. When the gov
ernment regulates the rates and the
financial administration of the rail
roads, the borrowing Of money and the
issuance of securities it relieves the
railroad officers of the responsibility Of
providing and developing transporta-
ton systems. except within the limits
of the revenue that can be realized from
such rates and under such restrictions.
For u country such as ours, for a
people situated as we are, to blunder
along with II series of unrelated. incon-
sistent. conflicting statutes enacted by
different states without relation to
each other, Instead of providing a CON-
plete and carefully studied and pre-
pared system Of regulation for bust
ness that is so vital to the life of the
nation, is worse than folly"
He summed up the present problems
and difficulties of the railroads as fol-
lows:
First.-The multiplicity of regula-
tions by the several states with respect
to the issue of securities. involving de-
lays and conflicting state policies gen
orally dangerous and possibly disas-
trOus.
Second.-The state regulation OF
rates in such a manner as to unduly
reduce revenues. to discriminate in ia
vor Of localities and shippers within
its own borders as against localities
and shippers in other states and to dis.
turb and disarrange the structure Of
interstate rates.
Third.-The inability of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. whoever
the commissioners may be. to perform
the vast duties devolving upon it un-
der existing laws, resulting in delay
which should never occur in CONNER
cial matters-and compelling the com
missioners to accept the conclusions OF
their employees as final In deciding
matters of great Importance to the
commercial and railroad interests of
the country.
Fourth.-The practical legality that
has been accorded conspiracies to tie
up and suspend the operation Of the
railroads Of the country by strikes and
violence and the absence Of any law
to compel the settlement Of such dis
putes by arbitration or other judicial
means, as all other issues between citt

COTTON RECOVERS
 FROM UNEAS|NESS
Following Decline in Early Week-Prices Advanced
 Later in Period

New York, January 26.-Unea siness over European freight and political conditions were chiefly responsible for a sharp de- cline in. the cotton market at the begin ming of the week. After selling off to 16. 55c for May contracts on Monday, how ever, the tone became steadier, and ral- lies followed, with May touching 17.42c during todays trading. This recovery of about 4.35 per bale from the early week decline has been attributed to covering and a moderate demand from trade sources of reactionists. Continued full clearances seemed to relieve nervousness over the ocean freight situation to some extent, while the rally was also promoted by small ginning returns and reports of continued firmness in southern spot mar kets. Trade interests with foreign con nections have been credited with buying October on considerable scale, presum- ably against forward requirements, while there has been covering of hedges in near months against sales of spots in the interior. The demand from exporters was reported to be falling off during the middle of the week, but some improve ment was said to have taken place in the demand from domestic spinners, and the trade here has been paying more atten- liOIt lO LHe SIdllSLCai pOSlIlOn. AL the present rate of distribution some author ities figure that the carry over at the end of this season will be a very mod crate one and such forecasts, combined with the failure of general weakness to develop among remaining holders, have been considered largely responsible for the advance It is rumored that the Brit ish government has been making a can- vass of Lancashire spinners in order to determine the amount of cotton that they will absolutely require for the remain der of the season. Local traders have taken this as meaning that British im- ports would be held to a minimum for the balance of the season. but also that steps would be taken to provide adequate transportation facilities for actual neces- sities. Southern advices have created an impression that about the only cotton for sale consisted of hedged supplies at a stiff basis, with most holders of unhedged cotton in the interior waiting for higher prices. Favorable rains have been re- ported in some sections of the south, but renewed complaints of dry weather were beginning to reach here from the south west toward the end of the week, and tha reports as to acreage have been con- flicting

ADVANCE IN COTTON
 BRINGS REALIZING
Fresh Peace Rumors From Teut0nic Side Have Their
 Effect on Market

New York, January 26.-A further ad- vance of about s1 bale met considerable realizing in the cotton market today, and after selling at 1742c, May contracts re- acted to 17.21c. That position closed at 1731c with the general list closing steady at net advance of ? to 10 points,
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 12 to IS points on a renewal of yesterdays buying movement The de- mand was encouraged by relatively steady cables and bullish overnight spot ad- vices There also appeared to be rather a more optimistic view of peace pros poets based on somewhat indefinite ru- mors that a fresh movement in that direc- tior was contemplated by the Teutonic allies and during the middle Of the morn ing the market sold about 15 to 21 points net higher. This advance carried March up to 1724c and July to 1739c. The de- mand from shorts then became less ac- tive, while scattered realizing developed to be some pressure from local bears or reactionists There seemed to be no change in the general character of the news to explain increased offerings. but there were comparatively few buyers after the early furry had run it's course and March contracts reacted to 1701c, while July sold off to 17.1Sc. This setback to practically last nights closing fig ures on old crop months was followed by closing rallies of 10 or Ii points on renewed covering. New crop deliveries were relatively easy during the day.
 Private cables reported a very narrow market in Liverpool Bullish discussions of the statistical position were very much in evidence during the day, but old crop factors failed to stimulate any general business and many local brokers are walt ing for nearer view of the new crop start.

Dun's Review

New York, January 26.-Duns re-. view tomorrow will say:
 After a natural lull the momentum of business increases, though there is no repetition of the feverish buying recently witnessed. Both domestic and foreign requirements. notwithstanding previous heavy purchases, remain ex- tensive, but competitive bidding has largely subsided and the general sit- uation is clearly more wholesome. Doubts regarding future supplies and prices cause hesitancy in many quar- ters and some buyers who are covered we'll ahead hold off in anticipation of concessions. yet where needs are press ing the element of cost is little con- sidered and premiums continue effec- tive if special advantages on ship ments are possible. Delivery problems. hover, do not appreciably lessen, and storms and floods in some sections have added to the difficulties of pro- ducing and transporting interests. Ma terials and merchandise in many in- stances proceed slowly to points of destination and in some cases the re- tarded freight movements influence prices, which tend mainly upward.

STOCK MARKET IS
 WITHOUT INTEREST
Professional Element Ele- vate Prices in First Period
 But Sag Comes Later

New York, January 26.-Eforts of the professional element to infuse interest in today's market by elevating equipments and other issues, to points were mod erately successful until the final hour, when heaviness in motors, shipping and few of the more vulnerable specialties caused a general revefsal and an irreg- ular close.
 Features of early strength included New York Air Brake, American and Baldwin Locomotives, General Electric, Pressed Steel and American Cars, Amer ican Can, the metals, particularly zinc shares, International and American Writ ing Papers, Oils, Industrial Alcohol and several utilities, such as Montana Power, Western Union and Mackay companies.
 United States Steel made gradual rise, of a point to 1159s, all of which and more was later forfeited, and Bethlehem Steel remained unquoted until almost near the end, when 100 shares changed hands at price unchanged from the pre- vious day.
 s The all-round decline of the last hour was primarily due to concerted pressure upon motors and subsidiaries, General Motors making an extreme loss of 6
  offerings, Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies scoring a gross setback of 2ss points,
 Rails counted for less than usual, Reading being the only representative issue to manifest more than slight ac- tivity and strength. Long. Island was again reactionary, with some heaviness in minor rails like Denver and Rio Grande and Missouri, Kansas and Texas preferred Total sales of stocks amount ed to 460 GOO shares.
 For the first time this year, forecasts of the weekly money movement suggested a contraction of local bank reserves prob ably substantial amount. Consumption of a large export of gold to South Amer ica was announced and foreign exchange was again cratic, fires making some re- covery from their extreme depreclation' while marks moved contrariwise.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, January 26-Greatly enlarged estimates of the 1916 yield in Canada did good deal today to lower the price of wheat. The market closed heavy, 5saS%c net lower, with May at s1s11s@1s1as,, and July at s1511k@1.51ss. Corn lost zc to 1@11sc, and oats 5s@7sc. In provisions the outcome was the same as yesterday S finish to 77zc down.
 Bears in wheat quickly took advan- tage of word that revised official fig ures put the total Canadian crop of 1916 at 61000,O00 bushels in excess of the total which was announced last October Weakness which resulted from selling on this account was made worse by mo- tice of an embargo on east-bound ship ments over the Pennsylvania railroad west of Pittsburg. During the early trading, too, indications seemed to point to continued absence of any important revival of export business. Later how ever, the market had transient rally owing to misleading gossip that liberal sales to Europeans were in prospect. Temporary encouragement was also given the bulls by advices that half of the do- mestic winter crop belt was without snow covering and that serious damage might be the consequence of the prevailing under-zero weather.
 Assertions that the British government was selling at Winnipeg drove wheat prices sharply downward in the last hour. Traders here were disposed to connect the Winnipeg selling with the increase of the Canadian crop total. Late breaks in the market here were partly due also to lack of confirmation of fresh export said to be somewhat larger.
 Corn was depressed by the weakness of wheat. Besides rural offerings were said to be somewhat larger.
 Oats followed the downturn of other grain. Seaboard demand was slow and the government selling at Winnipeg was reported to include oats.
 Provisions averaged lower with hogs and cereals. Packers were credited with having taken to the selling side.
 Future quotations were as follows.
