COST OF ITS REJECTION IS GIVEN AS $6,500,000 Oefeat of the Bill by the Lords Forced Government to Borrow, Being Lett Without Rev enue. London, April 29. The budget, which has kept politics in n turmoil the past two years, received royal as sent today. David Lloyd George's finance bill, the rejection of which by the house of lords cost the nation, as Mr. As qulth announced In his final speech Wednesday night, i,5Pu.OO0 in actual money, passed the third reading in the house of commons by u majority of fin, amid enthusiastic cheers from the ministerialists. It was immediately carried to the house of lords, which was awaiting in session to receive it, and in quite un eventful fashion the lords passed the irst reading of the bill. It was the refusal of the house of lords to pass the budget in the last parliament that brought on the crisis and the recent election, In which the liberals were sustained by the vote of the country. The principnl objection of the lords to the bill was the fea ture imposing a tax of 2 0 per cent, on the unearned increment of land. The defeat of the bill left the government without revenue, and it was obliged to borrow sufficient money to carry the administration of the country by means of short term trensury notes. It was the expense attaching to this procedure to which Mr. Asnulth re ferred when he suid it had cost the nation III, 500. 000.

Large Deliveries on Contracts in New York Are Readily Taken in by the Bull Operators. TRANSACTIONS REPRESENT FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS It Is Estimated That in May 300,000 Bales, Value. $22,000,000, Will Change Hands in New York. New York, April 29. Notices were issued early today for lxu.niio bales of cotton on May contracts. The cotton market opened firm with May ten points up olid shorts covered freely because large deliveries on contracts were readily taken in by the hulls. According to noon estimates bears In tile cotton market had issued no tlces for delivery Monday of 200.000 bales of cotton on May contracts. The record until today 97.000 bales. Today s transactions represent a mon ey value of $15,000,000. There was excitement on the ex change; and it was seen early in the trading that the bulls were prepared to take cotton as fast as delivered. After an initial upturn in May quo tations the price fell off. W ill Turn It Over to the SMtiners. Eugene N. Scales, one of the bull aders, said the bulls would turn over every hale ot cotton delivered lo spinners. A large shipment was received from the south. Notices Is sued caused no further liquidation In Mny. Two important southern mill men arived in New York to lake up 10.000 bales. It is reported that of th cotton accepted today at least 0.000 bales will be shipped lo south ern manufacturers. Private cables stated that southern bull leaders had ound an outlet on the continent for some of the cotton they intend to take up In New Y'ork. Mom Big Deliveries Predkged, Prominent Interests in the trade estimate that by the end of May 300.- 000 bales of cotton, valued at 122. 000,000, will have changed hands In the New York market. Some predict that II the bull leaders are able to find a ready demand from spinners for the cotton taken during May, they will require the delivery of fully as much more in July. They are al ready heavily long of July contracts, their Interest In the aggregate being fully 450,000 bales. It 1b estimated that $0,000,000 will be required to tl nance the cotton delivered today. .Not Final Teat of Short InterestN. The first May notice is not regard ed as a linal teat of the ability of the short Interests to deliver cotton on all infracts held by the bull leaders. At the opening May contracts sold at 14. B0 as compared with 14.50 at the close yesterday, and advanced to 14.80 on covering by scattered shorts; then reacted to 14.71 under realizing. Excitement unending the opening subsiding somewhat when It was found that bull leaders were prepar ed to accept delivery, as scattering in terests on both sides had been pretty well eliminated during the recent period of violent fluctuations. With the approach of notice day it had been expected by many that unprotected short Interest would he discovered, thereby causing a sharp advance, but there has been nothing to Indicate the existence of any im portant Interest in May which was not prepared to deliver cotton some time between now and the end of the month. Patten said yesterday afternoon: I am ready to take all the cottt.n that Is tendered me and pay for It. What Scales and Brown are going to do, I don't know. It's none of my business. I am here to attend to my own business. They bought cotton and I bought, and we have never had any agreement to work together. I have not the lea.t Idea how mucn cotton Is going to be tendered to me and I won't say how much I have bought. I do not look, however, for any excitement In the market." Eugene Scales, Patten. William r Brown and Frank B. Hayne, leaders of the bull movement, this morning watched the ticker as calmly as though It was an ordinary day's work Instead of the biggest transaction on record. Patten said there was no cor ner In May cotton. No increased activity developed during the early afternoon, but the market ruled generally steady with prices steady at about the best level on covering, and some fresn Duying encouraged by prospects of continued sunnort from bull leader., bullish week-end figures, and predictions for colder weather In the southwest.
