Sentiment as to the size of the
cotton crop became much more bullish

net gains In prices were made in
all marts. Liverpool 6p$ned
around the previous close but
responded quickly to an estimate by
an .English statistician which placed
the crop at 11,395,000 bales. The
American markets opened at advan
ces under the same influence, toge
ther with the conviction by the
trade generally that the ginners’ for
today will be bullish. One estimate
was that the figures would be 7,567,
000 bales, as against 8,531,000 up to
Nov. 14 last year. This was taken
by the bull element to Indicate
crop of not over 11,500,000 bales.
The New York market opened 12
to 14 points higher but soon eased
off a few points under realizing. But
the depression was only temporary.
In the last half hour selling orders
again came on the market In some
volume, but the close was at a slight
rally, 9 to 12 points net higher for
the day. Spot prices were marked up
10 points. New Orleans opened 10
to 14 points up and after losing
point or two, more than made good
tho toss.’ Late In the session prices
worked tower but the close was at a
sharp upturn, steady and 13 to 14
points above the close for Tuesday.
Spot quotations were unchanged.
Liverpool opened 2 points lower to

the conference convened yesterday
morning, Secretary W. D. Johnson
read the Journal. After some discus

he said:
"After Qvelve months we are pres

compliment you upon your appear

“We are passing through a fearful
crisis now. It Is apparent that the
hand and circle of the dominant pow
er Is against us. The effort to dis
franchise and rule us out of the pale
of humanity Is an effort to disgrace
us, a scheme put In operation by
malicious and misanthropic men
to tie us to the wheel of degradation.

CLARK tc CO.’S COTTON LETTER
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—Influenced
by reduced crop estimates, which Just
now are the order of the day, Liver
pool ruled strong and active during
their session. Our market was
quick to recognize the advance in the
foreign market, and January sold
as high as 10.19. All Interest cen
ters tn tomorrow's ginners report,
which Bhows amount ginned to Nov.
ember 14.. This compares with 8,-
831,000 last year. Popular .estimates
place the ginning at 7,200,000 and
this would be construed a& very bull
ish, for the records show no year
when more than 5,000,000 bales were
ginned after December. On the whole
the outlook Is not near so bearish,
and any outside support would re
sult Iri a much higher market.

Race Could Stop Cars
“I will say ono more word, and you
may infer my meaning—without the
consent of the negro, ho cars could
run In Georgia. I am sorry to say
they are runnlg by our cowardice and
disunited action. There la no har
mony among us, no concern about our
rights and the rights of our children
and of our children’s children. Ev
ery one of us that sits down quietly,
Is tying our children's children to
the wheel of degradation for a hun
dred years to- come. Such men ought
to be ashamed to father children. We
ought to act as men and not as sim
ple human automatons In the shape
of men without manhood.
"I hope that all of you will be able
to make complete and finished re
ports, and that we will have a har
monious conference. The last one
held here was a disgrace to us. If
was not the Southwest Georgia Con
ference, however. The escutcheon
of the Southwest Georgia conference
thus far Is clear, and I trust that you
will ever keep It So."
The speaker referred to liquor
