POWER CHANGE REJECTED
SENATE DEFEATS WATER. 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."

RALLY Hi COHH MARKET

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.
Big exports largely counterbalanced In
provisions the effect of the hog market
weakness.

WHITER LIVESTOCK
LOSSES ARE SMALL
Heavier Marketing One Re
sult of Cold Season.
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.
At the Merchants' Exchange corn bide
were advanced 25 50c Oats were about
steady. There was no demand for barley.
At San Francisco May barley sold at (3 8
and 'August at (2.9 7 i.
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
