house at the first day's session.
This was done in joint session, the cer-
tificate of the state election board in
i regard to the vote being read and the
result officially declared by Speaker
W. A. Durant of the house.
The only official expression in either
house to indicate the general proposed
work of the Third legislature was from
the new speaker, Mr. Durant, who. in
his speech after coming to the chair,
said that this legislature would havL
more to do with revising and correct-
ing the work of past legislatures than
in originating new matters.
Speaker Durant also referred to ih»
redistricting of the state, which is
probably the biggest matler that
legislature will have to deal with

New York.
New York, N. Y.—After showing con-
tinued steadiness and a further de-
cline In today's early trading, the cot-
ton .market rallied and the close was
firm at a net advance of 8 to 11 points.
The opening was steady at unchang-
ed prices to a decline of 3 points.
Prices weakened after the call and
sold off to a net loss of 8 to 10 points
on the active months on bearish pres-
sure, scattering liquidation, while just
below 15c on May stop-loss orders
were uncoverecd.
Liquidation appeared to reflect ap-
prehensively that a large ginning re-

pressure was undoubtedly encouraged
by the appearance of long cotton com
ing on the market in the absence of
bull support. But, after the expecta-
tion ot the early selling orders there
seemed to be less cotton for sale, sug-
gesting that he scattering long inter-
ests had been pretty well liquidated
while demand improved around 14.95c
for May.
At first this seemed to came most
largely from covering by recent sel-
lers, but as the market worked higher,
reports ot a further reduction in esti-
mates of the East Indian crop and
private reports from the south, claim-
ing a continued good export demand,
seemed to inspire a renewal of bull
support and the market reached the
highest level of the day in the last
few minutes, closing practically at the
top.
