Liverpool cables and reports of fav.
orable weather in the South were re-
fiected in an opening decline of 2 to
day.
July sold off to 1916 and December to
1875, but covering and trade buying Of
near ponths held the market fairly
steady during the first hour. The early
selling seemed to be based chiefly on
belief that the rains ur showers late
last week had relieved drought condi-
tions in the Eastern belt and the fore
cast for generally fair weather with
normal temperatures during the pre-
sent week, evidently made a favorable
impression on sentiment
Private cables attributed the decline
in Liverpool to hedge selling and liqui'
dation.
The failure of the better weather
sive or general selling seemed to pro-
mote some covering later in the MORN
ing. Prices steadied in consequence,
but business remained quiet. July
ruled around 1918 and December at
1886 at midday, or about 2 to 6 points
net lower.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 25.-The
Federal Congress has developed a
first-class problem Of its own, quite
apart from the dispute over the
governments religious regulations,
which are agitating the country.
It now appears unlikely that
the Senate will be able to complete
it's own organization in time to
begin work on September l, the
date set by the constitution as
that on which Congress must con.
vene. Failure to commence work
on that date will mean the auto
matte dissolution OF the upper
chamber and the calling of spe-
cial election.
The obstructive tactics Of the
minority revolutionary bloc, which
controls more than one-third of
the Senate membership, thus far
has made it impossible for the
leaders to obtain the necessary
two-thirds quorum required by
the Constitution, the minority
leaders today announced their in
tention to refrain from attendance
when the Senate convenes in order
to compel the calling Of q new
election.
The Chamber OF Deputies, the
Constitution provides, can function
alone on matters pertaining ia
the budget, but only on such mat.
ters. But here, too, the minority
coalition on deputies are threaten
ing to set up in business for
themselves, alleging that improper
methods of organization have been
resorted to by the majority socialist
alliance parties.
