SHARP LOSSES FOR
COTTON CONTRACTS
Buyers and Sellers in Lo
cal Market Apart.
The cotton markets turned very
weak yesterday, due to the financial
disturbances primarily. Liverpool
was 2to 4 points higher an hour be
fore their close, but prices there
slumped badly and the close was at
net losses of 1 1-2 to 3 points. New
York opened lower but soon improved
and when New Orleans opened a little
later prices were generally slightly
above the close for Saturday in both
markets. It was reported that Texas
was selling hedges against spots and
this was a signal for giving values
a kick. In the decline that followed
every position was forced below the
10 cent line, establishing new low
records for the season. The high rate
for money and exchange operated
against the market and prices grad
ually worked lower until the close.
New York was 21 to 23 points net
lower and New Orleans 20 to-23 points
below the close for Saturday in the
active positions. The price of spots
in the former market was marked
down 15 points and in the latter re
duced 3-16. Liverpool spots were
Tuoted unchanged with sales of 8,000
hales.
The receipts at Savannah were 12,-
•‘ 1, 3 bales and at New Orleans 11,117.
Ihe estimate for New Orleans today
is 16,000 to 18,000 and for Galveston
-’I,OOO, to 23,000. For all ports the es
timate is 45,000.
Trading was very light in the Amer
icas spot market yesterday. Quota
tions are unchanged from the day be
fore In the morning some business
was transacted on a basis of 10 1-4
cents for good middling, and a few
hales more sold 1-8 of a cent lower.
the afternoon buyers were bidding
10 cents but without results, factors
being firm in their views. The re
ceipts for the day by wagon were
ISO bales.

CLARK A (O S COTTON LETTER.
NEW YORK. October 28.—Liverpool
was featureless today on spots while
futures manifested some inclination
on the opening to do better. After
our opening call the English brokers
sent selling orders pushing January
down to 10.05. The Bank of England
declined to discount market bills un
der 5 per cent, which 4s 1-2 above the
official minimum rate. Immediately
after this announcement Liverpool de
clined 6 points closing on the low
with-a nirregular tone. Our market
was decidedly dull during the entire
session with some buying from pro
fessional sources around 10 cents for
January, after this was satisfied the
bear crowd hammered the market
down to a dime in an endeavor to
catch stop loss orders. The larger
spot interests are militating against
the mafket in a very large degree and
Fine Taffeta Silk at sl.
Monday morning, we will place on
sale a real $1.50 grade of black taffe
ta silk at sl. Every yard is fuly
guaranteed. Please remember that
the price is for Monday and Tuesday
only, at per yard SI.OO
Corsets at sl.
Some people appear to believe that
we lose money on every pair of Nadia
Corsets we sell. On the contrary,
there’s a fair profit—not large, of
course, for prabably no other cor
sets have ever been sold at so little
over actual worth of material and
work. They are made for us by the
best corsetiers in this country, and
come direct to this store. It doesn’t
cost the maker a penny to place them
on the market, nor can any one dic
tate our retail prices.
At 41. worth $1.50, of Coutil or
Baiste. Three models—one for young
girls or slender women; one high
bust model for long waisted fig
ures; one for the average figure, deep
hip style. All are trimmed with lace
and have hose supporters.
NOTE—If you cannot come we will
send corsets for your inspection. We
want every woman to know that these
are the very best popular priced cor
sets.
we feel sure that Texas has been a
heavy seller all day against immense
holdings of actual stuff. The liberal
receipts from Houston, Galveston and
New Orleans stopped the bulls from
operating, while the First National
Bank renewed call loans at 30 per
cent. The spot basis collapsed today
and New Orleans marked down spots
1-4, and buyers were not in evidence
at the concession. With the financial
situation so confused and the heavy
receipts come out cotton should be
sold on every bulge.

JUDGE PARKER HOOTS
BRYAN’S CLAIMS
NEW YORK, October 28. (Special)
—Judge Parker grew a little sarcastic
when he saw Bryan’s statement that
when in Congress the latter had ad
vocated a law to protect depositors
from such conditions as have been
prevailing in New York.
“How glorious it is to be a high
born financial genius” said Judge Par
ker.” What a pity Congress could
not have appreciated the wonderful
advantages of such a law. Had they
appreciated it we would not have
needed yesterday the patriotism of J.
Pierpont Morgan that prompted him j
to throw twenty-seven millions into j
the maelstrom at a critical moment; j
the ten millions of Rockefeller; the i
twenty-five millions of the Govern- 1
ment, and the money and strenuous I
labor of public-spirited and honest
bankers and business men, who strove
mightily to save business generally
and theerfore every citizen from ulti
mate injury.
“I am sorry that he did not men- j
tion the title of the bill. In the ab-!
sence of the specifications, there will!
be those who will think that its title j
may have been ‘l6 to I.’ ”

PARSONS DEFENDS
HEARST COALITION
NEW YORK, October 28.—(Special)
—Congressman Herbert Parsons, the
chairman of the Republican county
committee, because of many criticisms
which have been made of his action
in fusing with the Hearst organiza
tion has issued a statement explain
ing the reasons which led him ttf en
ter the coalition with the Indepen
dence League.
In his statement Mr. Parsons says
that the purpose of the fusion was
the belief that the Independence Lea
gue will this year be able to retain
it had last year and the year before
and that this added to the Republican
votes will be sufficient to defeat Tam
many.
Mr. Parsons also says that another j
motive of the fusion was to send as j
many as possible Republican assem-j
blymen to Albany this year to support
Gov .Hughes and his policies.
“If fusion succeeds,” Mr. Parsons
asserts, “instead of nine, we will send
eighteen or more Republicans from
this county to support Gov. Hughes.”
—lt remains to be seen whether the
statement issued by Mr. Parsons to
night will appease the conservative |
Republicans who are enraged because
Parsons consented to give Hearst six
out of the eleven places on the fusion
county ticket. These men have de
clared that they will either cut the
ticket on election day or not vote at
all. Many of them say that they only
took the trouble to register so that
they could take part in the spring
primaries.
GOVERNORS WANT
R. R. QUESTION SETTLED
Conference to Be Held at j
Atlanta Eriday,
WASHINGTON, D. C., October 28.
(Special)—An earnest effort is now
being made on the part of the gover
nors of various Southern States, leg
islatures of which have recently en
acted measures reducing passengers
fares on railways in those States, and
officials of the railway lines affected
by such rate reductions, to reach, if
possible, an amicable adjustment of
the controversy resulting from the
enactment of such legislation.
With the object of arriving at a
solution of the pending problem, a
conference will be held in Atlanta,
Ga., Friday in which Govs. Comer,
of Alabama; Smith, of Georgia; Glenn
of North Carolina, and perhaps Gov.
Swanson of Virginia, will participate.
The suggestion of the proposed con
ference was made by Gov. Comer, and
the governors representing the other
three States have signifid their inten
tion of attending the meeting. The
attorneys general of the four States
will also be present.
The parties to the conferensce will
gather for the purpose of an inter
change of views relative to the rate
question affecting the Southern States
and with the hope ultimately of fram
ing a compromise agreement to be
submitted to the officials of the rail
roads affected.
Gov. Glenn, of North Carolina, who
has been here for two days in con
ference with Southern Railway offi
cials in an endeavor to reach, if pos
sible, a general settlement of the rate
case in liis State, left yesterday for
his home, where he will confer with
members of the legislature and others
regarding the proposed conference in
Atlanta. He is desirous of learning
their views as to what concessions, if
any, they are willing to make, look
ing to a settlement of North Caro
lina’s side of the controversy.

VARDAMAN PREDICTS
ROOSEVELT S DEFEAT-
Nebraskan Will Turn Trick
For Democrats.
CHICAGO, ILL., October 28.—(Spe-»
cial) —“President Roosevelt will be
renominated,” said Gov. James K.
Vardanian, of Mississippi, “and he
will be beaten. Bryan will be nomi
nated by the Democrats and he will
be elected. All that now makes Roose
velt popular he has stolen from Bry
an, and if he runs on a platform of
his policies he will be running on
Bryan’s platform.
“This putting forth of Taft as the
Administration candidate is only poli
tical play. Roosevelt is not sincerely
behind him. Taft is the weakest of
the Administration men who could
have been picked, and Roosevelt’s
real intention is to frame things so
that he himself will be the nominee.”
Governor Vardanian declared Presi
dent Roosevelt would not carry a pre
cinct in Mississippi. He agrees with
the President’s campaign against dis
honest corporations, but says his poli
cies are Democratic policies.
“It is impossible to treat these ve
neered savages as white men are
treated,” was his statement on the
negro question. “The Constitution
should be amended so the States
can legislate regarding the negro
question as they do for the Indians.”
BIG EXPENDITURES
FOR PANAMA CANAL
WASHINGTON, D. C., October 28.
(Special)—Representative James A.
Tawney, of Minnesota, who will suc
ceed himself as chairman of the House
Commitee on Appropriations, is in
Washington preparing to go to work
upon the big supply bills of the first
session of the Sixtieth Congress.
The most important matter now be
fore the committee is the appropria
tion for the Panama canal.
The expenditures to date on the
Panama canal have reached the huge
sum of $129,608,568.58. Os this amount
$27,000,000 was made available by the
last Congress.
The original Canal act authorized
an expenditure of $185,000,000, and
this amount will be nearly exhausted
when the appropriations of the next
fiscal year are in the hands of the
commission.
