PLAN
NOT BACKED UP
BY DEMOCRATS
Administration Leaders Are
Doubtful Regarding Sup
port of Compromise.

Washington. Aug. 21.-Democratic
senate leaders apparently divided over
tho expediency of the compromise
proposal for peace treaty reservations
separate from the ratification. decided
today not to press for action the reso-
luton Of Senator Pittman, democrat
Of Nevada embodying the compromise
plan. The impression was given that
the measure possibly would be per-
mitted to lie over indefinitely.
The decision was taken after Sena-
tor Pittman had made it clear that in
introducing the resolution he acted on
his own initiative and after Senator
Hitchcock. the administration leader,
had indicated thatit was not to be re-
garded as inspired by the administra-
ton.
Ready to Vote,
Meantime the republican leaders
said they were ready for a vote, de-
claring the republican group which
tavors reservations but wants them
incorporated in the ratification itself
would line up against the resolution.
Leaders on both sides in the treaty
night in the senate were In doubt to:
day as when a vote would be had
on the resolution Of Senator Pittman.
While the group of republican res
ervationists, led by Senator McNary
Va oiO6OA AlOlCdlCu llcy WOulO SLanO
together for reservations in the final
ratification resolution, some of them
were not sure that in the meantime
they would not favor the Pittman plan
as step in the right direction.
VIII Press Action.
In formal statement Senator Pitt
man said he had not abandoned his
purpose to press his resolution and
would attempt to get action as soon
as possible.
my resolution went over under the
rules said Senator Pittman, Sub
ject to being called up by me at any
time. l did not call it up today be-
cause number of senators requested
an opportunity to examine the reso.
luton. I intend to attempt to OBJ.

Last Week on the New Orleans Ex.
chanqe.-The highest prices OF last
week in the cotton market according
to a New Orleans dispatch Sunday
were made on the opening session
while the lowest prices were made
during the closing session. Sentiment
was seriously affected by the contract
legislation put before congress SO
much liquidation of long cotton took
place and fresh buying was greatly
restricted in sympathy of the ouillsh
views held by many traders, particu-
larly in regard to the new crop. Al
the lowest the trading months showed
net losses of SS to $50 points and the
net change for the week was a loss OF
So to 126 points.
October showed more strength than
the old crop months and this was due
to the extremely unfayorable weather
conditions prevailing in the belt. Dur,
ing the week the market was HOODED
with messages from nearly every state
in the cotton region complaining tha'
work in the fields was impossible be
cause Of the boggy condition OF the
soil. It was generally thought tha'
the new crop would get a very late
start. The continued agitation TO de-
crease acreage was announcer ouiilsn
factor. ANY and all bullish factors
were offset by the failure to lift EN-.
barge restrictions and the renewed
attempts at contract legislation. Al
the highest levels prices were to Il
points over the close Of the preced.
ing week. From this the market fel
1O1 to 167 points. For a while the Ia
bor situation in England and especiall!
the situation of the coal mines was
a bearish influence of Importance anc
much selling resulted from it.
This week the market will be forced
to devote most of its attention to the
cotton legislation before congress.
