COTTON MARKET MOVES
into NEW HIGH GROUND

New York. April dealings in cot
ton were more attractive and general
today than at any time in weeks, and
the market again moved into new high
ground for the new style contracts.
Influenced by further favorable cabled
reports from Paris as to early pros
poets for peace. One feature of the
trading was further switching from
old crop to distant positions. which
resulted In sharp narrowing of the
differences between these months.
Southern selling supplied a good
part OF the demand today. The ap-
pearance of these offerings was taken
to mean that southern merchants and
bankers who have money loaned on
cotton, in some cases at least, are
seeking to reduce these loans.
The close was steady at a net adj
vance of three to sixty-four points on
new contracts and an advance OF
twenty-five TO ninety points on old
contracts. Near months sold off
rather sharply near the close, under
liquidation by spot firms which re-
bought the new crops.
Receipts at the ports for the day
were 1887 bales; expprts. 2s.2fo
bales.
Spot at New Orleans was steady,
with middling twenty-five points
higher at 26,25 cents. The sales were
2.472 bales. Spot here was quiet at
a decline OF twenty points art 1905,

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, April 1.-THE trade in
corn was inclined to await new devel-
opments today before entering deep
speculative water again. Following a
nervous market, closing prices We're
at advances OF Is to 3-S cents for
May and July and SIS to / cent for
September. The trade switched over
to the September future and gave
nearer months little attention. with
the exception of liquidating holdings.
May and July corn presented d weak
appearance because OF lack of trade,
while September was strong and &C
tive
|wsEhorts and the bears both put up
. Axht, calling Attantion of the trade
e freer selling BY holders in the int
rior and willingness OF Argentine
holders to meet the views OF buyers
A Buenos Aires cable said bankers
There believe corn will be disposed of
even though lower prices prevail.
Eastern markets reported dispo
sition to resell corn at attractive
prices Some traders took the stand
that unless something unforeseen de-
velops within the next few days, prices
will show further declines.

Distillers' Association Says PrOhlbl. tiOn Amendment Not Legally Ratified.-TO Invoke
 Referendum.

New York, Jan 29-The action to- day of Frank L Polk, acting secre- tarv of state, formally proclaimlng ratification of the prohibition amend ment to the federal constitution is not binding, says g. statement issued to- night by an Executive Committee rep resenting the Distillers' Association of America.
 Of the AZ states whose legislatures have acted on the amendment, the Constitutions of 22, the distillers say, contain a. referendum provision which provides that no action of the legis- lature becomes effective until 90 days after adjournment If during these 90 days, five or six per cent of the voters petition for a referendum, the action of the legislature must be sub mitted to the people.
 Of these p states, the committee says, the legislatures of IA are still in session "and the 90 days in which to petition for a referendum have not begun to run.' The committee an- nounced that immediate steps will be taken to have a referendum invoked in these IA states and probably in others"
 Action in these IA states is not final until the people have had opportunity to act, the distillers say. Considering only those states and deducting them from the AZ whose legislatures have acted, the committee said, showed that the "drys" have captured only 28 states, or eight less than the three fourths required.
 The IA states are: Arkansas, Cali fornia, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Mich igan, issiouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Utah, Oregon and Washington. "The people in these IA states, under their constitutional ref erendum rights, are part of the law making body Until the people have voted upon the proposition there has been and can be no legislative action. /
 ''This referendum is now funda- mental right of the people. It is in tended that the people shall avail themselves of this fundamental right and that they shall vote upon the question whether inherent state pow CTS and privileges and individual lib- erty shall be destroyed

TO AGAIN SUBMIT
 NEW CONSTITUTION
As An Amendment Is RecOmmen. datiOn of Joint Committee of Legislature-Plan Be.
 lieved Feasible.

i Little Rock, Jan. 28-To redraft the proposed constitution, which the voters of Arkansas recently rejected, 1 to eliminate it's objectionable fea- lures and then to submit it to the peo- pie as an amendment to the present constitution-this is the recommenda- tion that will be made to the legisla- 1 ture by the joint Committee on Con stitutional Amendments.
 This course of action was decided upon at a meeting of the committee yesterday. The plan was proposed by Representative Kennedy of Sebastian county. The resolution adopted by the committee provides that Senator Gro yer Owens of Pulaski county, chair man of the joint Committee on Con- stitutional Amendments, shall appoint a committee to redraft the proposed constitution.
 MT. Kennedy called attention to the ] fact that between 15 and 20 proposed l amendments have been submitted to i the legislature. The legislature can submit only two. The Arkansas Su- preme Court has ruled that only three amendments may be submitted at one election, and one proposed amendment already has been initiated by petition by the Arkansas Initiative mad Refer l endum League.
 1 Before MT. Kennedys proposition came up, the committee had selected 1 for favorable recommendation the pro. posed amendments providing for wom- an suffrage and for increasing the number of justices of the Arkansas Supreme Court MT Kennedy argued that the great number of proposed amendments submitted to the legisla- ture proves that the present consti- tuition is not satisfactory. He ex- pressed the, belief that few objec- tionable features of the defeated con- stitution by the voters, and said he be- lieveS that with these features ellm- mated the constitution would be adopted.
 The plan is feasible one, in the opinion of T. M. Mehaffy, who was president of the Constitutional Coll- vention, which drafted the constitu- tion recently rejected by the voters. "I do not believe that there would 1 be any difficulty in getting the con- stitution adopted as an amendment if some of the objectionable features were removed he said In his opin- ion the most objectionable features are those relating to the bond question and to prohibition and taxation.

TO HASTEN RETURN
Entire Expediti0nary Force May Be Home and DemObOlied in 6 Months

Washington, Jan 27-General March, chief of staff, discussing army demobolization plans today with the Senate Military Committee, said that shipping arrangements have been made by which 100000 men may be transported home mothly and that that all of the American expedition ary force can be returned home and demobolized within six months. There are still about 785 900 men in camp in the United States and all will be demobolized within month from today, except those retained for overhead" duty, General March said. Up to noon last Saturday, he said, 194,0OO men had arrived from overseas
 How many Americans, will be held abroad in the army of occupation is to be determined by President Will 1 son, General March said, but more Americans already have been desig- mated for return home than originally proposed by Marshal Foch. Ten divi- sions has been suggested as America s contribution to the army of occupa- | tiOn
 General March said that under pres ent plans retention of an American standing army of 50O,OO0 is proposed We don't ever expect to reduce below 500,O00 men-if we can hell it," he said.
 Several senators said they had re- ce'ved many complaints because di visions which had seen long service overseas apparently were to be the last sent home.
 This policy, General March said was strictly. in accord with military plans to hold experienced men in the army of occupation, adding: "It will keep men who will not unduly excite the Germans-or who will be able to run over them if necessary"

OCEAN FREIGHT ON
 COTTON IS REDUCED
Brings Higher Prices and Suggests Rate War With Great Brit ain-Big Jump on
 Markets.

Washington, Jan. 28.-Reductions of nearly 75 per cent in trars-Atlan- tic freight rates on cotton carried in American bottoms, effective immedi- ately, were announced today by the Shipping Boards Division of Opera tions. Sweeping decreases were made yesterday in rates on general freight to meet cuts made by British ship owners and some Shipping Board of ficials regarded today;s announce ments as presaging a rate war be- tween the new American merchant marine and British shipping interests. Requests for the reduction in rates on cotton were made by Southern sen ators and representatives in confer ence with Shipping Board officials
 and the announcement first came from the capital. The effect on the price of cotton on the New York and New Orleans Exchanges were electric, the price on the old contract months ad vancing $10 bale-the limit of fluc- tuatApn permitted in a single day un-

Little Rock, Jan. 31.-Falling into the elevator. shaft of the Donaghey building from the fourth floor yesterday morning, the Rev. J. T.
