these present are not much concerned
with the market. A little covering
prior to the holidays with some price
fixing has resulted in aj generally
steady tone as offerings have teen
fifty and Christmas selling seems to
have abcut run its course. _ Some of
those who bought the very low grades
are reported showing some anxiety to
Mill but the better types of such cot
ton are in good demand and the pre
mihms oP'the-higher grades are well
maintained through demand for such
cotton is pot so urgent us at one time.
Xo important Ranges in cither di
rection seems impending in the ,im-
I mediate future and the' best advice
seems to be to' keep the powder dry
and await developments after the turn
of the year when more can be known
nboul trade and the amount of real
cotton to be dealt wjtti and perhapj
some light secured on next crop prob
abilities. Exports today, 33,409. To

THE COhjCORD DAILY TRIBUNg
By CHARLES P, STEWART
NBA Swyk. Writer
Washington, Dee. 23 —The House
of Representatives is jealous of the
Senate’s gweller ofljee building—swel
led, that is to say, than the repre
senattves’ own.
That's no joke. The average repr
resentativeresents the fact that each
senators hse a public outer office and
an inner private one, while he has
only one, for himself and whatever
'Casual rabb'e may drift in. Some
tepresentatives have partitions putin
(hut that craps their room.
Such is the whole explanation of
the proposal to spend $7,000,000 on
t new office building for the lower
house. The present one is all right
except in comparison with the Sen
ate’s.
»
There may be a bit of sound reason
ing behind the represenatives 'anxiety
for as classy quarters as anybody
else.
Cali on a senator and you get the
impression that lie’s a big man. He
isn't iq sight, in the first place. He’s
in majestic seclusion behind that mas
sive private office door. An ante
chaiuberful of suitors wait without,
upon the invisible statesman’s word.
You have to plead with bis secretary
for an audience. By the time you
get to him you feel you’ve accom
plished something. This must be a
flighty important individual.
- But a representative!— yo» walk
right into his office without knock
in* and there he is, a mere ordinary
hulnan being, like yourself. Nobody
cools ids beels it a representative’s
door. He hasn’t any door he can
keep shut.
Washington, Dee. 23.—Congress is
just out with another of its well
kpown directories—a turkey-red one
this time. The last was blue. The
Congressional Directory’s purpose is
to inform rather than to thrill. It
isn’t an altogether uninteresting vol
ume. at that,
r» * *
This is the first Congressional Di
rectory' in history, for instance, to
contain as many as three congress
women’s names all at once. One of
them, Mrsr Florence I’. Kahn, of Cali
forniOr packs her autobiographical
sketch of Serself into exactly 28
word*, jnclnding her name and some
dates. Mrs. Edith Nounfe Rogers,
rs Massachusetts, and Mrs. Mary T.
Norton, of New Jersey, go into a
bit more detail, to the tune of 73 or"
89 words apiece.
* * «
* The director takes it for granted
that Smith W. Rrookhflrt. Thomas D.
Schall and Sam G. Bratton are sena
tors respectively from lowd, Minne
setn and New Mexico, though their
seats are contested—Rrookhart’s by
Daniel F. Steak. Schall’s by Magnus

North Dakota senators, if the direc
tory knows what it’s talking about,

The director likewise introduces to
the senatorial world Arthur R.. Rob
,insnn, of Indiana : George H.. AViI
lianis. of Missouri, and "Youhg Bob"
La Follette, of Wisconsin. "Yonng
II?0b” is the only member of either
house who. describing his policies,
adds, in parenthesis, after the word
;“Republican.” the qualifying adjec
dive. “Progressive.” All the others of
the insurgent Republican group—even
men like and Senator Fra
zier, of North Dakota, who have been
'read out Os the party—set themselves
down simply ns ‘'Republicans” and
let it go at that.

sb CONGESTION LIKE
FLORIDA'S SAYS OFFICIAL
More Than 300 Carloads of Express
Tied Up In and Around JaekkMi
viU». He Soya.
Ta’.lahasee. Fla.. Dec.. 23—The sit
uation which caused imposition of the
recent expres embargo in Florida, “is
unprecedented in the history of the
whole conntry,’’ ft. Hudson Barr,
chairman of the railroad commission,
declared in a sthtement made public
today.
The embargo, however, Mr. Burr
declared, was justifiable and unavoid
able because of the congestion at
Jacksonville, where, he stated, he per
sonally found conditions “even great
er than was stated when the embargo
w»s placed."
“Tliore were approximately 50 car
loads of mail in the terminal at that
time,” Mr. Burr said, “nearly all of
which had to be unleaded, reclassified
and loaded again for various destina
tions both in and out of Florida, the
volume being so great that solid steel
freight cars had to be used to load
package mail for digerent routes and
destinations.
“The express company had in <ars
and on the platforms around 300 cars
of express matter inbound for Florida
and outbonnnd for all points, and the
ene box or small shipment lots of cit
rus fruit for outbound movement to
all party of -the United States was so
great that it was neeessary to use
great strings of refrigerator cars to
load solid for special expedited serv
Ice ou t.of Jacksonville terminal for
northboun anti west, the supply of
express cars being and
the volume being too great to be car
ried on regular passenger trains. This
was being done irt order to get this
fruit out of the terminal and to desti
nation without loss.
“The express company jras work
ing on their platforms 800 men, @OO
negros an<j 200 whites, the work be
ing carried on throughout the 24
hours.
“It was not only impracticable but
impossible under these circumstances
to permit further shipments to be
made through the gateway until the
express company g»t rid of a sub
stantial portion of the accumulation.
A freat deal of this accmulation was
business that ought to go by freight
but which had been split into smaller
units and shipped by express.
“The superintendent of the express
company stated that he would have
such shipments as could be handled
in out through other gateways, but
of course, other gateways have facili
ties for handling only normal busi
ness and therefore no more-could be
handled in this way than the facili
ties would properly protect,
“The commissioners conferred last
night with Superintendent Buckner
of the fxpress company at Jackson
ville to ascertain what headway had
been made in reducing the aceuinula
-1 tion, and what relief might be ex
pected. They received the fdlldwing
reply ( from him: ‘We are' making prog-
