GRAIN MARKET STRONGER

Chicago. Feb. ll.--Apprehension ex-
pressed regarding threatened impair

DAILY COTTON REPORT

The reporting by the census bureau
Of larger consumption of cotton by
American Mills during January than
generally expected, failed to create
any animation IN market owing to the
indifference of Liverpool, cables ruling
easier than due.
Returns TO the census bureau show.
ed that 500 900 bales OF lint cotton
were consumed in the United States
curing January against 2s5, 900 for
December this season, and 592 900
for January OF last season. since
September lst. 2,334,OOO against g.

,952 600 of which northern mills were
credited with GAG 200 VS.. $4,000 and
southern mills only GA. OOO vs. lO6-

4 noteworthy feature was the big
increase in active spindles in the
United states during January 1851
coo, more than in December 81 ,30s 900
against 29,s7SO 900 compared with 34-
100000 at the close OF January last
year.
The large increase in active spind-
les last month. and the reported fur
ther Increase thus far this month, as
is Indicated by the resuming OF more
mills, indicates that cOnsumption will
continue TO increase in the future.
The dizziness in the textile trade in
England appears to be the only draw
back to revival IN international
trade, as the industry is making
progress in America and is in fairly
good shape In other foreign countries
except perhaps In Japan as France,
Italy and other European countries
are doing well, while Germany is re-
covering rapilly, exports 10 that
country TO close OF January figuring
$4,000 bales against ia OOO to cor
respondent date last year.
Press reports tell of the ENJOYS Of
Turkey and India enroute 10 the Lon
don peace conference, scheduled for
2Sth instant, and it is likely that
peace will be restored in the Near
East II so the British trade outlook
will probably be improved materially.

LONDON, Dec. ID (By The Asso-

as John Morley was pioneer under
Gladstone in the Irish home rule fight,
reappeared in the House Of Lords TO-
day and took part in the proceedings
of that body when it met to receive
md act upon the treaty with Ireland
Lord Birkenhead. the Lord Chancel-
lor, having read the Kings speech to
the Lords, viscount Morley, leaning
heavily on the table before him, moved
the address in reply. The eighty-three-
year-old veteran said he did not envy
any Engl.shman or Irishman who
beard the Kings words without deep
feeling, especially the reference to rec
onciliation with Ireland to which his
majesty's action had greatly contrib
uted.
Declaring his political conscience
could not approve Of the government Of
Ireland during the last year. the aged
statesman pleaded for a continuance
Of the spirit (which makes to-day one
Of the most historic and precious mo-

tn ought that for the sake Of good gov
crnment the coalition should end ct
the earliest moment possible.
Impressive Ceremonial
The capacity of the House Of Lords
was tested as never before. Many
peers and peeresses who for years
have not attended such q ceremony
demanded to be present, with the re-
suit that large number OF titled folk
were among these forced to stand.
The beautiful gowns and sparkling
Jewels Of the women were set off by
the gorgeous attire of the peers,
dressed in scarlet and errnine.
There was full attendance Of am
bassadors in their showy regalfa,
against which the conventional evening
dress of George Harvey, Ambassador
from the United States, and of the
German and Austrian diplomats con-
trasted sharply.
Princess Mary was ushered in soon
before the arrival of their majesties
and she took seat close to the throne.
Then the lights, which had been low
cred, were suddenly switched on as the
King and the Queen entered and ad-
vanced to the throne.
both wore crowns, ana upon queen
Mary's neck glistened tho famous
Cullinan diamond. Princess Mary was
dressed in gray silk, with string Of
diamonds binding her hair. Eagef
eyes in the galleries looked about for
her finance, and finally discovered Wis.,
count Lascelles among the visitors.
King George read his speech slowly
and distinctly. 1t was one Of the
briefest speeches from the throne on
record.
Immediately afterward the King and
the Queen, with their retinue, left
the chamber in ceremoniel order.
