[ ] ( . ( 4 WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—At noon tomor- row the first session of the Sixty-first con- gress will be convened. Vice President kerman will preside In the senate and Speaker Cannon will wield the gavel In the house, The beginning of the session is regarded as always with Interest, but there have been few sessions In recent years for which there has been so little planning among members. Ordinarily Speaker Cannon and Serator Aldrich, who speaks for the ma- Jority of the senate, have a program at the beginhing of a session, but this year they | have none; or, if they have one, they are | not talking about it. They are waliting| upon the president. By common consent appagently, all are holding back until the | presidential recommendations can be re-| celved, as they will be on Tuesday, in his first annual message. That his suggestions will be acted upon Is too much to say. But there is a disposition to accommodate him as far n be done, and there is a deter- mination to hear his {ntimations before entering upon any effort at legisiation along the lines upon which he has inti- | mated & desire to be heard. Pluns of “Insurgents.’” Even the “Insurgents’ generaily express| a Wwillingness to wait upon the White House before attempting to formulate a plan of | action. Thi# is true both In the senate and the house. ‘ITey manifest much interest in the forihcoming message, but say that unt it I8 received they will be unable to form | any plans, They prociaim no fight against | the president, but some at least of them are | avowedly irreconcliable in their attitude to- wards the speaker and Senator Aldrich, whom they hold responsible, the one for the house rules and the other for-the tariff law. Unquestionably they will be heard | from In some way before the session grows ¢ old, and it not hoped by the friends of the new tariff that they will escape criti- clsm) They are prepared for this and will MomPE (0 gt 1t when it comes. There is practically no prospect of amendig the | rules of the house during this session and | the Indications are strong that there will be ho general effort in that direction. There doubtless will be some talk, however. rrobable Ralirond Legislation. | The principal futerest In the outlook cen- | ters in the possibility of raliroad legisla- tion, and’ all hands are walting with keen expectancy to sec what recommendations, if any, Mr, Taft may make on that subject, Representailve Mann has bills prepared | on all these points and will present them | as soon a8 the message Is reciived.

Congressmen | generally express no apprehension as to | the outcome. The attitude of Canada to- wards the provisions of the tariff law rel- @tive to print paper and wood pulp is giving some concern. There will be early | efforts to rcmedy this siiuation, but there is no certainty of the outcome, While the corporation tax provision of | the tariff bill was under consid -ration during the extra session, Senator Aldrich expressed the opinion that it might not be of long life, but ho probably will take no steps to abrogate it until the full ef-| fect of the tariff as a rvevenue producer | oan be ascertained. i Sugar Trust Resolutlon. | Representative Campbell will introduce a resolution Monday for an investigation of | tHé sugar trust. The opinion As quite general that after | thelr long “wait at the church” New Mex- 100 and Arlzona will aitain to statehood before the close of the session. Tha presi- dent has promised that they shall come in separately and while many members stll regard the two territories as unpr-pared for the responsibilities of statehood t. probabllities are that they will yleld and allow the passage of a bill enabling their admission. There also will be strenuous éfforts to get through a postal savings bil} and & merchant marine bill, but both will be opposed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Various factors | served to disturb special sentiment In the | stock market last week. The vulnerability |of the market to these factors was largely ;n\\lhx to the restraint on speculative opera- tions exercised by the money position Ever since the Bank of England began to assert its opposition to the expensive em- ployments of credits in speculation by fore- ing up the London money market there have been evidences of a scaling down of commitments in the New York stock mar- | ket and a restriction on the concentrated |operations in that market by which prices | had been advanced and held. | The political crisis in Engiand which cul- |minated In the rejection of the budzet last | week by the House of Lords constrains the | Bank of Englana to maintain its extraordi- nary proportion of reserves and continues London's control of New York gold sup- plies. Gold went to South America last week on London order in an undiminished stream, and combined with the special re- quirement of the December settiement and some large syndicates' transactions, this made the call loan market subject to some fluerries. The maximum rate for the year was touched agaln and the calling of loans by the banks restricted the supplics av able \or operations in the stock market. Anti-Trust Agitation. “The dropping tendency of prices thus in- augurated gave welght to the misgivings which arose over the anti-trust agitation and the prospects that it would grow and intensity. Reports from Washington of the Ltone exercised in the president's message on that topic had much influence in send- \& prices downwards as did lated the modi- fied report in the vigorous recovers.

Trading in Cotton Futures Makes Fictitious Prices WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—Both the pro- ducers of cotton and the dealers in that commodity are the victims of the system of trading in vogue on the changes of the country This is the burden of paris 4 and § o the report of Commissioncr of Corpora. tions Herbert Knox Smith on the conduct of such exchanges. The practice of deal- Ing in futures, as it is carried on at pres- ent, s condemned, althought the report colton ex- does not condemn the existencs of the ex- | change. “The brief discussion of gezeral spscu- lation in this report” says Mr. Smith, “recognizes the possibilities for good In- herent in & great centrsl market like a cotton exchange, and the need that this £00d be developed and evils eliminated by regulations in line with economic law. The report s especially condemnatory of the dealings in, futures, branding this form of speculation as pure gambling and highly injurious to I'W' trade. In quotations for “‘future” deliveries of coi- ton, the market is so uncertain and so many elements of chance enter Into the | transaction that all bids are made at.a| much lower figure than those offered for | cotton actually In existence. | The offect of these fictitious quotations, | the report polnts out, tends to mislead the | cotlon planter as to the true value of, his | rop, honestly grown. In additon, it leads | brokers to “play’ both. sides of the mas- ket to protect themselves against loss in |such trades, with the result that the pro- |ducer Is forced to pay In the end, while | the' tarmer loses likewise. | The report, while recoginizing that the |exchanges in New Orleans and New ork | are necessary, does not minee words in | riticising the New York exchange. After| |declaring that the New Orleans methods |of conducting the trausactions In cotton | followed natural iines, the report diaws |attention to the faet that it has been proved that the abnormal depressions in the future price In New York “were al- most wholly due to improper artificial conditions now maintained by the New York Cotton exchange.

American Soclety of Astronomy, at Hotel The National Corn exposition opens this morning at & o'clock, after many busy weeks of preparation. Twenty-five states and the federal government are represented in the exhibits of the big show. The Audi- torium and large temporary structures erected ndfoining are filled with the dis- plave of King Corn and other products of the “lelde. Education is the central idea of the ex- position. It Is a place to see and learn. But little space I occupled for the ex- Ploltation of private Interests and tho few exhibits that might be so classified have their educational and Instructive value. Sunday night found the workers in the r'(w..\'l‘finn still busily hammering away and installing decorations and exhibits. The chaos of the last week will be resolved into order by this morning when the visitors see the show for the first tima. Bad weather bas caused a trifle of delay in the completion of the outside decor tions at the entrance to the axposition, but it will shortly be complete in its respland- ercy of yellow corn on a field of 1lch massy green. Within the attractive decorations formed the clever arrangement of produets of gracefil ‘estoons and panels of gaily colored bunt- irg. The auditorium above, formed by the construction of a temporary floor at the level of the balcony, 1s hung with many colored flags, a token of the International the exposition is fast suming. EEverett duckingham, weneral managr of the Unlon Stock Yards company of South Omaha, one of the boosters of the Corn show, strode about the Auditorium on a tour of investigation and survey. “Fine. Very good, Indeed,” was his decision when he paused at the end of the main floor to take a general view of tMe display. “In a day or two fmore all the finishing touches will be comploted and this will be the best ever.” Lighting is Notable Feature. The lighting of the exposition has been skilfully handled. A complete lllumination and thorough distribution of the radlance of thousands of incapdescents has been accomplished without making any “glare spots.” A particularly artful bit of work s In | the decoration of the pillars which support the temporary floor ahove. Casing of plate glass lined with grain lald in carefully arranged stratas of contrasting colors con- ceal the true character of the supports and add to the beauty of the show. The entries of the show Inelude enough corn to reach for three miles if strotched out, and In samples of one peck each there is more than 1000 bushels of threshed grain. Of cornstalks and sheaves of grain there is ample to stock a very presentable field. Among the exhibits there will be shown miniature fields of growing grains, with daily demonstrations of their eare. In the Nebraska exhibit there is a tiny | wheat field, with the tender sprouts shoot- Ing up brayely under the electric light.
