DE VELOPMENT BlXJi AMEXDJ1EXT. Uniit on Government's Annual Charge to 25 Cents for Each Horsepower Is Beaten. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. After brief debate today the senate rejected an amendment to the water power de velopment bill which would have lim ited the government's annual charge to 25 cents for each horsepower de veloped. The vote was 28 for the amendment and 29 against. The measure as passed by ths house provided that the licensee should pay to the United States a reasonable an nual charge to be fixed by a federal water power commission, and this Provision is retained. , By 6 to 4 the senate adopted an amendment by Senator Knox, repub lican, providing lawful contracts for power, light, heat, water, service or delivery should not be affected by any license and that no association or corporation should be relieved from ny obligations by a license. Senator Lenroot, republican, Wis consin, led an attack on the amend ment, which he contended gave per petual franchises to power companies. Jiis argument was denied by Sena tors Nelson. Minnesota; Smoot. Utah, and Warren, Wyoming, republicans, wid Thomas, democrat, Colorado. --Senator Smoot declared that the bill would give more benefit to people n navigable streams than to those Vong streams In sparsely settled ter ritory where water power could be developed. Western states, he said, iwere held in check and absolutely controlled by bureaus in Washington mo that water power development was fcot possible. "If a man attempts to develop power and goes ahead with his plans tat great expense," he added, "the government immediately withdraws jLh land from entry." I LIVESTOCK LIST HIGHER ll.ll .

RALLY Hi COHH MARKET BUYING BY SHIPPERS AND IN DUSTRIES LIFTS PRICE. Early Selling: Heavy as Result of Wheat Director's Statement. Car Shortage Affects Oats. CHICAGO, Jan. 12. Industries nd shippers competed for corn today and ral lied the market from declines, due to an official warning against price hazards on wheat and flour after withdrawal of gov ernment control. The close was unsettled at the same as Saturday's finish to o higher, with May (1.34 Vi 4j 1.34 and July (1.32 to (1.33. Oats closed unchanged to 14c down and provisions varied from 25 cents loss to 50 cents advance. At first corn selling was very active as a result of bearish conclusions drawn from statements of Federal Wheat Direc tor Julius 11. Barnes. I.ater the force of the Barnes statement was minimized by the fact that spring wheat was selling at the highest figure on record and that even chicken feed wheat was quoted at about equal to the government guarantee. Business In oats was restricted by In ability to obtain cars for shipment to the seaboard.

FEED SUPPLY IMPORTANT Stock In Northwestern States Gen erally Doing AVell Ranges Available in South. Livestock in the northwest is wintering well and while there has been some suf fering in colder sections where the feed supply was short, no reports of serious losses have been received. One result of the exceptionally eold winter has been the marketing in large volume of stpek that was not ready for market. These ship meats would have been held back had more feed been available. In the south ern sections of the Pacific slope stock has done wlL The ranges were generally accessible, but some feeding- was nec essary. Detailed reports ef range and livestock conditions in the Pacific coast district are given by the weather bureau as follows: Oregon Heavy snow and severe cold weather have made much feeding of stock necessary and there has been some loss. Washington The severe cold weather caused stock to suffer, particularly sheep, but no loss was ascertained. Idaho There was a shortage of feed in some localities, due partly to transpor tation difficulties, but stock generally fared well. Some losses of young calves, due to cold, were reported. California Slow grass growth caused stock to deteriorate. Those fed are in fair condition. Utah Heavy snow, with low tempera tures, caused considerable but temporary Inconvenience among Btock. Winter range was generally accessible, but late summer dronth resulted in inadequate feed in ex treme northwestern and eastern portions, where some sheep and many cattle and horses, - especially the thinner stock, suf fered some and were fed rather heavily. Nevada The deep snow cover and low temperatures were severe on stock, but warmer weather later melted the snow and uncovered grass for cattle, sheep and horses. Winter ranges reported short. Arizona All livestock generally have maintained fair to excellent condition. Ranges for most of the month have been free from snow and an abundance of grass and water was available. Thousands of sheep and goats are wintering In Congress Junction sections, subsisting on wlnteran nuals and browse and are in satisfactory condition. EASTERN WHEAT DEMAND CEASES Market Plumps 10 Cents as Beso.lt of Director Barnes Warning-. The eastern inquiry for wheat came to a stop as a result of Director Barnes statement. Wheat markets In the east slumped 10 cents during the day. No changes were reported in values In this section, but there was no buying so far as learned.

Weather conditions In the middle west, as wired from Chicagol "Clear and cold. Clear at all points except northern Illinois, Kentucky and Canada, which are cloudy; Minnesota cloudy and snowing. Forecast: West and osnth mostly fair and colder." The general feeding demand in the United Kingdom, cables Broomha.ll. has dwindled to insignificant proportions, with buyers displaying Indifference. The out look for the new crop of Argentina can be considered excellent. Old reserves are still of substantial proportions and there will probably be a large carryover at the end of the season, unless clearances In crease materially. Oats trade In the United Kingdom is en a limited scale with buyers showing less interest. Cutting of new crop oats in Argentina is being resumed. The movement from the Interior has been light. Old oats are In negligible supply and the outturn of new will be comparatively small. Terminal receipts. In cars, were re ported by the.
