NEW YORK. SepV. I.—There was some,
further covering for' over the government
report at the opening of the cotton market
today, but bearish influences seemed to pre
vail during the earlier trading, and after
opening unchanged to IS points lower, active
months soon sold some 20 to 38 points below •
last night’s closing. There was consider
able selling for southern account, while
local pressure was encouraged by the easier
cables, unfavorable labor conditions and the
further declines reported in southern spot
markets. Reports of favorable crop progress
in the southwest and an easier spot basis
also circulating on the decline to 26,85 for
. October.
The early selling carried the market
abont 60 to 78 points net lower during the
middle of the morning. There was rallies
of a few points just belbre midday and
when the government crop report was is-,
sued, making the condition 457.5 and the
• indicated crop 12.783,000 bales, there was
a rush of covering, which sent prices 95
to 115 points above the early low level. The
official crop figures were below expecta
tions, but after selling up from 26.35 c to
27.50 c for October, the market met in
increased pressure and broke almost as rap-
Jztlv as it had advanced. Except for cov
ering. buying on the crop figures seemed
to be checked by bearish features in other
directions. - ' »
Southern selling was particularly active
during the early afternoon and the market
became very weak making new low ground
for the day with December selling off to
24.70 and with active months generally
' showing net losses of 60 to 88 points.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. I.—Expectations
of a fairly favorable condition report from
the government, combined with dry weatlie
over most of the belt to put the cotton mar
ket lowe* on the opening today. Selling
increased on the receipt of private cable
grams from England stating that the emil
labor outlook was more serious. During the
first hour of business prices fell 25 to 3t)
points. October declining to 25.52.
The condition report at 10 o’clock of 67.5
per cent of n<ymal. indicating a crop of
12.753.000 bales, was lower than expected
and it caused an immediate bulge in prices
which carried the market 6 to 33 points over
the close of yesterday. October touching
26.15. Just prior to the report the mar
ket was soft under general.selling .which
widened the early decline to 49 to 62 points
■nd carried October off to 25.20. The
strength did not last long and under a 're
sumption of selling prices fell .almost to
the lowest levels again but toward noon j
were at net declines of but 14 to 26 points j
on a demand from realizing shorts.
In the late trading extremely heavy sell
ing set in and, according to floor gossip, .
It was entirely due to bearish outside eon
ditions and the forecast of dry weather for
all sections of the belt. October fell the full I
limit of 206 points from the high of the day.
allowed under the rules of the exchange, I
landing at 24.15 c. The list made net losses |
of 137 to 167 points.

pressure and stood at net declines. Imme

the market rose moderately above the level

Government Estimates Cotton Crop
12,783,000 Bales; Condition 67.5
Continued Improvement in the Cotton Crop Through
August Amounted to an Increase of More Than car
ter of Million Bales
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. —Continued improvement in the cot
ton crop through August, amounting to an increase of more than a
quarter of a million bales in the month, was announced today by
the department of agriculture in its forecast today of a total produc
tion of 12,783,000 bales, based on August 25 conditions.
Remarkable growth took place during August, officials said,
but the crop is from two to three weeks late and a late fall is nec
essary for favorable termination of the crop. 801 l weevil damage
will be greater than usual, the said.
In a statement commenting on cotton conditions the depart
ment said:
“The cotton plant has grown wonderfully during August over
the entire belt as a result of almost constant rains, but this growth
during the past two or three weeks has been largely at the expense
of fruit, and plant, although large and vigorous, is sappy. The crop
in the normally dry areas of Texas and Oklahoma, where the ample
rainfall was beneficial, and in all the northern portion of the belt,
has shown absolute or relative improvement for August. Generally
speaking, the early set of bolls was satisfactory and while the‘bolls
are not now present in proportion so the size of the plant, there is a
fairly satisfactory set of bolls.
“The cloudy, wet weather and cool nights with large growth
has prevented the plant from overcoming its initial lateness and it
is from two to three weeks late over most of the belt.
“The moTst August conditions have been very favorable for the
boll weevil, which is very active in all infested regions, from central
Texas to central South Carolina. The loss of a large Dart of the
squares now setting and a considerable proportion of the small bolls
and many large ones as a result of weevil damage is reported
throughout this area. 801 l worms are also active to a damaging
extent in same territory. For a favorable termination of the season
a late fall is necessary. Frosts would do great damage. The harm
resulting from boll damage by weevils in greater proportion than or
dinary because the damp weather tends to rotting of the entire in
jured boll instead of the lock affected only. Much rotting is re
ported in the central areas.
The abandonment of planted fields since the date of the bu
reau’s acreage estimate of June 25 has been slight and probably less
than average.
“Labor conditions may become serious later when the rains per
mit picking, especially if dry, hot weather should force quick ma
turity, but no acute shortage exists at present, although labor is
generally high and insists on shorter hours than formerly.
“More fertilizer has been used than last year and still more
than two years ago, although the quality is still inferior from lack
of sufficient potash and much of the benefit has been‘lost from
leaching or from going into plant growth rather than fruit.”
Cotton production this year was forecast today at 12,783,000
bales by the department of agriculture, which based its estimate on
the condition of the crop of August 25, which was announced at 67.5
per cent of a normal.
. Production was forecast last month at 12,519,000 bales and the
condition of the crop Tuly 25 was 74.1 per cent, while the forecast
made in July was 1 1.450,000 bales, based on a condition of 70.7 on
June 25.. Last year’s production was 11,239,755 bales and the condi
tion of the crop on August 25 a year ago was 61.4. The ten-year aver
age condition on August 25 is 68.2.
The comparison of the condition for several years follows:

EFFORT TO GET QUORUM
IN TENNESSEE IS FAILURE
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 31.
When the house of representatives
met this morning at 10 o’clock fol
lowing the strenuous efforts to drum
up a quor»’ v ' Monday afternoon only,
47 members responded to their
names. It was announced that the
house would be at east till 2 o’clock.
Four attempts yesterday to get a,
quorum were unsuccessful.
Finally Speaker Seth Walker, lead
er of the anti-suffragists, ordered
the sergeantatarms to arrest enough
members to make a quorum. Repre
sentative Harry Burn, youngest
member of the chamber and the man
whose changed vote swung victory
to the ratificationists two weeks ago,
was caught and brought in. Before
a vote could be taken, however, he
slipped out through an office, climb
ed along the cornice of the old Capi
tol ’building until he reached the
stairs window and escaped by the
front entrance. Two policemen
chased Burn tn Jiis hotel, :but the
young et»6.ged in one door ana
out another'to safety.
PRESSCLAIM-~
OF CONSTITUTION
ARE RIDDLED
(Continued from Page 1)
pression from the Commerce News
was published in The Journal Sun
day under Editor Shannon's own
heading: “The Boss Issues Orders.”
Among *other things the Commerce
News said:
“Take a surface glimpse of
the Constitution's consistency.
Senator Smith and Tom Watson
were in the race for the senate.
However much we may differ
with Senator Smith, this one
fact remains. He is a Demo
crat. He has always voted the
Democratic ticke|. His support-
ers are not Republicans nor In
dependents; they are Democrats
On the other hand, Mr. Watson
while proclaiming his Democra
cy, is fighting the Democratic
party, its platform, and its ad
ministration. Here was an open
handed fight—an administration
• candidate and an anti-adminis
tration candidate. With the
united support of Democrats,
Mr. Smith could and would eas
ily have defeated Mr. Watson.
But up step the Howells and
would not submit to such condi
tions.”
Is this the kind of support that
the Dorsey newspapers are giving to
the governor? If so. Senator Smith’s
supporters will welcome more pa
pers to the governor’s aid.
Others Not Listed
In announcing that twenty-nine
newspapers were supporting Senator
Smith, the Hoke Smith headquarters
did not undertake Vo list all the pa
pers that are for the senator. It is
undoubtedly true that a number of
other papers are supporting the
senator. For instance the Campbell
News, published at Fairburn, is na
tively supporting Senator Smith, but
its name- was not included in the
twenty-nine published Monday. The
LaGrange Graphic was not listed as
a Smith supporter, yet its owner
Tuesday notified Smith headquarters
that the paper is for the senator. ’
It is the belief of Hoke Smith
headquarters that many more than
the seventeen papers listed above as
neutral, but claimed by the Consti
tution as supporting Governor Dor
sey, have had no editorial expression
on the senatorial campaign, but some
of these papers do not reach the
exchange desk of The Journal. Edi
tors of other newspapers whose posi
tion has been misrepresented, will
no doubt take steps to let the pub
lic know where stand.
SMITH’SVrCTORY -
IS CERTAIN DESPITE
DORSEY AID TO WATSON
(Continued from Page 1)
which prove his motives. have
escaped no thoughtful citizen, and
that these methods have contributed
I with other reasons to the collapse
of the governor’s candidacy and his
definite removal as a serious equasion
in the primal v one week hence.
Should Rcimbursa Merchants
Hundreds of letter/r and telegrams
—many of them from persons who
heretofore have supported the gover
nor—have been received at bea<i-
quarters expressing surprise not only
at the governor’s trailing tactics as
applied to Senator Smith, but at the
failure of his friends to refund the
thousands of dollars he illegally col
lected in tobacco taxes.
k “Many persons have come forward
with the declaration that the first
duty of the governor is to refund the
moneys that were illegally collected
by his agents.” said Smith headquar
ters. “If he hasn’t the funds avail
able in the state treasury, due to
his Jmismanagement, and cannot sup
ply them from his personal resources,
he should insist that the friends who
are contributing to his campaign di
vert this money to reimburse the peo
ple who were illegally taxed.”
It is old stuff, say the Smith men,
to try to sway or control elections
by betting blandishments, “but,” they
add, “if the governor’s friends really
want to help his candidacy they
would better serve this purpose by
subscribing to a fund to reimburse
the men from whom he illegally col
lected thousands of dollars in to
bacco taxes."
As remarked at the outset, how
ever, the efforts of the Dorsey men
to defeat Senator Smith by lending
aid to Watson’s candidacy are doomed
to failure. Smith headquarters are
confident, from reports they are re
ceiving, that .he senator’s campaign
has checked the rising tide of Wat
son sentiment in the state, and that,
although he still has a nip-and-tuck
battle with Watson, there is every
reason to believe that he will defeat
Watson next week.

Optimistic Seports
The mail received at the Smith
headquarters Wednesday morning
was by tar the largest of the cam
paign, and it was the most encour-.
aging.
J. A McGregor, of Willacoochee,
a well-known banker, declares; “Hoke
Smith is gaining ground in this
country, and the sentiment is risina
rapidly.” • b
Dr. T. D. Walker, Sr., of Cochran,
writes: “Os course we would like
to see Senator Smith at Cochran,
but the county is safe for him any
how.”
W. O. McDonald, writes from Co
lumbus: ‘‘Conditions are ' looking
Very favorable in this section. During
the past few days I have visited nine
counties, of which seven will certain
ly give Smith a majority. I refer
to Troup, Harris, Muscogee, Chatta
hoochee, Randolph, Talbot and Stew
art. ’
John W. Andrews, writing from
Carnegie, Ga., declares that either
the Atlanta Constitution or Mr. Lee
Miller, w’ho wrote to the Constitu
tion, that Edison is for Governor
Dorsey, has misstated the facts. “I
think the governor will run third in
this precinct,” says the letter.
L. F. Dudley, of Damascus, writes
the most encouraging news from his
section.
H. B. Smith, of Dahlonega, writes:
“I feel that Senator Smith has a
fine chance in Lumpkin county.
D. J. Mclntosh, Blackshear, Ga.,
writes in most gratifying news con
cerning Pierce county.
J. ,W. Johnson, of Center, Ga.,
writes: “Hoke Smith will carry this
district by at least three to one, and
I believe Jackson county will be
placed in his column.”
Dorsey Has No Strength
George S. Mallaier. of Hampton,
writes: “From present indications I
consider that you will carry Henry
county. However, Watson has a
strong following. Governor Dorsey
has developed no strength.”
Dr. J. J. Wright. of Culloden,
writes: “Hoke Smith will carry
Monroe county by a great majority.”
Judge Roger D. Flynt, city court
of Dublin: “I have been away for
nearly four weeks. On my return 1
am pleased to find that Senator
Smith’s prospects are much brighter
than they were in the last primary.”
J. C. Ingram. of Milledgeville,
writes: "Watson has a pretty strong
following in Baldwin, but the general
opinion of important persons ; is that
Senator Smith will carry the county.
His speech here last Saturday made
him votes, and his strength is grow

CHAIRMAN WHITE
FIRST WITNESS IN
SENATORIAL PROBE
(Ccntinned from Page 1)
ator New yesterday as negotiating
with both the Democratic and Re
publican committees for his services.
The inquiry developed that Mr.'
White had dismissed Professor Hall
last night following disclosure of
the New letters.
“He made a statement before a
witness thal? he was offered SB,OOO
by the Republicans,” Mr. White said,
“but he said he preferred to work
for‘the Democrats. The joke is on
us, though, for paying him SIOO a
week.”
Senator Kenyon brought out that
Governor Cox was tn have a special
train on ,his western trip, which
will last a month, and asked if thar
train alone would not cost the entire
SIOO,OOO appropriated for the speak
ing campaign. Mr. White said he
did not know what tne cost would
be.
