HARDING KEY OBOhUS;

6ursum Proposal of Half Cas ano
Half Certificates Ia Killed
BY Senate

WashIngton.-The senate moved for
ward so rapidly In Its consideration of
the soldiers bonus bill that some lead
ers regarded passage of the measure
as more than a possibility. Opponents
were understood to be disposed to let
the bin take Its course at this time.
In the belief that President Harding
would veto 1t. Should he do so. they
planned to center their fights against
It's passage over his vets
There still was, however, no official
information before the senate as to
the executives views. other than that
contained in his letter read to the
house last March Just before that body
passed the bill. The president then adj
vised that congress either find a means
of financing the legislation or postpone
Its enactment, and some friends of the
bill as well as opponents believe he is
still Of that mind.
With the committee changes cleaned
up. Senator Bursum. Republican, New
Mexico. called up his substitute, pro-
posing half cash and half certificates
Of Indebtedness for the veterans, but
this was rejected without a roll call
or n discussion. -
Senator Bursum protested, saying
there should he some debate on an
amendment which he believed would
save something like s3.O00,o0o.oOo TO

sent. action on the substitute was re-
considered.

MORE ACTIVITY IN
MARKET FOR LONG
STAPLE: PAST WEEK

NEW BEDFORD, April 27--Much
more active inquiry for cotton was
reported in the extra staple markets
of New England during the past
week but the dealing while greater
than has been expected lately did not
attain much volume and was not
nearly as much as might be indicated
by the amount of inquiry. Many of
the cotton merchants were inclined to
explain the situation by the fact that
many of the mills are receiving an
unusually large number OF inquiries
for goods and in order to quote low
enough to get the business are trying
to get the lowest possible raw mate
rial prices on which to base their
asking figures.
There has been some buying. both
of extra staples and of short cotton
and both high grades and medium
low grades have figured about equal
~ in the activity. Price figures have
changed very little from week ago
since the dealing has not yet reached
sufficient volume to clean up all the
odd lot offerings available at sub
normal levels, and the market has
therefor been made by these dis
tressed lots. In some quarters it is
said that the asking figures received
from southern shippers have shown
slightly firmer tendencies. but these
have made no impression on the local
market since the mills have been able
to buy all they wanted at this par
ticular moment from quarters which
were under considerable pressure to
sell.
Middling and strict low middling
white have been available in many
cases as much as three to five cents
under the price of strict middling. at
least so far as the staple lengths were
concerned. Middling inch and a
quarter, for example, being offered
as low as 2S cents when 81 to S3 cents
was quoted for strict middling, while
on e-sixteenths middling could
be had for "a to 25 cents and strict
low white for % and 23 cents, while
strict middling was quoted at 29 to
80 cents. 1t was possible to bu
