for the big margin necessary to put

a movement TO make the highway
commission elective instead Of APP
pointive gained momentum last week
when Senator Parr proposed the
change through a bill signed by ten
senators. a similar bill by Gerron,
author Of the highway department
investigation resolution, is pending
before a house committee. Although
Governor Moody has gone on record
more than once as unalterably OPP
posed to an elective highway com
mission, there is considerable senti-
ment among the legislators for the
principle of letting the people select

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-tP-The
cotton market opened steady at Q
decline Of 8 to IL points.
There was considerable liquida-
ton Of March. That delivery sold
off to 1870 while July declined 10
1888 and the new October contract
to 1912. At these quotations the
market apparently met more trade
buying and covering. The tone was
rather steadied, although prices re-
manned within 2 or 3 points Of the
lowest at the end Of the first half
hour.
The decline extended to 1857 for
March and 1910 for new October
coEtrEct. Reports from Liverpool
that spinners Of Egyptian cotton
would consider curtailment Of pro-
duction may have promoted some
selling, but were rot generally com
mented upon as an immediate mar
ket factor.
