COTTON
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Weakness in Liv
erpool led to a sharp decline in the cotton
market at the opening here this morning.
First prices were 50 to 87 points lower, and
the active months sold 55 to 90 points be
low last night's closing figures tight after
ihe call,' with October touching 26.25 and
December 24.70. The technical position of
the market seemed easier after the rally of
yesterday but there was further covering
which became more active at the decline
right after the call and caused rallies of 25
or 40 points from the lowest. There was
continued southern selling, however, while
the British trade news was disturbing and
the bulges were not maintained. Private
cables said that general short time In Man
chester was very likely although it would
not be officially organized and another ca
ble said that spot holders were anxious to
realize.
Another spurt of covering followed the
publication of the weather map and the un
favorable eastern belt forecast, with October
selling up to 26.95 c, or back to the closing
price of yesterday. Later months recovered
a good part of the early loss, but trading
became less active around midday, and after
the rally to 25.22 c for December prices eased
off several points. Weather reports indi
cated showers and rather low temperatures
in eastern belt sections, which were consid
ered unfavorable, as generally dry, warm
weather is supposed to be needed over the
month.
Detailed weather reports showed more
rain than Indicated by the early map and
the advance extended to 25.45 for Decem
ber or 20 points net higher. This was not
fully maintained hut the midafternoon mar
ket was steady at a net decline of about 7
to 30 points.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 3.—Poor cables
and pessimistic feeling over labor troubles
on both sides of the Atlantic caused a drop
of 16 to 55 points in the early trading in
cotton today but at the decline the mar
ket met an extensive covering movement on
the part of shorts who wanted to take prof
its before the holidays. At the end of the
first hour of business the market had a fair
ly ■sieady rone ami stood 5 points higher to
So |H*ints lower than the level of yester
day's close. October droppped off 24.94
grd reacted to 25.45.
The demand from covering shorts
end new buying for long account came ih
on reports of cuts in ocean freight rates
or. eolton out of gulf ports. Lnte in the
morning October stood at 25.60 and the trad
ing months were 20 points over to 5 points
under the final prices of yesterday.
The reaction 'remained in force until
prices wore unchanged to 25 points up com
pared with the close of yesterday but after
the \veekly statistics were posted the mar
ket turned very weak. ’ Mill takings for the
week were only 135,000 bales against 218.-

THMOMSON & McKINNON GRAIN
LETTER
CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—The early advance
was a matteer of short covering on a mar
ket completely bare of offerings. There
has been no volume of buying which would
indicate new export business. It is gener
ally claimed by the seaboard that advance
in price liu« shut off new foreign business.
Cash markets here was inclined to be slow
because of this, premiums for No., 1 grades
being 2 to 3 cents lower to a basis of 17
cents over the December. The margin be
tween world’s requirements and supplies
is so small that crop of South America is
likely to have material bearing upon ulti
mate prices. ~~
Corn: There was no pressure on the early
market, prices therefore, coresponding to a
continuation of yesterday’s demand. A slow
ing down of tuhis demand as folllowed by
a weak cash market and renewed selling by
those who believe in lower prices. There
is no claim of any damage to growing crop
except the government mentions winds and
excessive rains in central west. There are,
however, many private statements that crop
is far from being safe from frost. A slow
cash market and lower prices are quite
probable tomorow but we do not believe
in following this condition in the new cop
deliveries.
Oats: It Is said there are a few export
bids at slightly under the prevailing prices.
The market is not stimulated by these re
ports because of the declining tendency of
cash prices, premiums being reduced again
today. Hedging sales appear in the market
from time to time.
Provisions: There are more reports of ",
better foreign business especially in lad.
Such buying as appears in the deferred de
liveries suppports these reports.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS
R. S. Hooper & Co.: Although present
prices nre far below the average eost of
production for cotton this season until there
I* * better outlook for a demand sufficient
to absorb new crop and the carry over from
last year we see tittle prospect of any sus
tained advance.
Hubbard Bros.: A somewhat higher mar
ket may be expected as the covering move
ment continued but until bad weather de
velop* it Is not likely that a permanent ad
vance can be expected.
'.Veld A Co.: We have no strong market
opinion, out with the present overwhelmingly
bearish sentiment in the trade we considei
it unwise to be short.

in some northern districts; progress varied
from poor to satisfactory in Oklahoma.
Heavy to excessive rains injured cotton
in portions of Texas, where the plant is
making rank growth and putting on little
fruit. Poor progress or deterioration oc
curred in Arkansas, but progress was sat
isfactory in the delta counties of Missis

tions. Deterioration occurred in many lo
calities in Louisiana. Progress was fairly
satisfactory in northern Alabama, but else

progress m delta counties, irregular else
where, but mostly poor; weevil are numer
ous and doing extensive damage in south

tank, and crop shedding raHJier extensive
ly, due to further rain.

Governor and Senator Meet
At ashington, but Dorsey
Declines Joint Discussion
Governor Delivers Speech
With Senator Smith in
Audience and Hurries
Away Before Senator
Begins
WASHINGTON, Ga., Sept. 3. —Here,
in the cradle of Georgia Democracy,
in the county that nuturedand hon
ored the lamented Robert Toombs
and has given the state many no
table men. Governor H. M Dorsey,
who is heralded Us-.the “uncompro
mising champion of Democracy,’’ de
clined to meet Senator Hoke Smith
face to face In joint debate.
The governor preferred to speak
without interruption at 11 o'clock
in the Wilkes county courthouse and
to desert these just as the
senator began his speech.
Announcement to this effect was
made at 10:15 this morning, after
Georgia Cotton Crop
Suffers Great Loss
An almost unprecedented decline occurred
in Georgia cotton in the lower two-thirds
of the state, according to the official re
port for the Co-operative Crop Reporting
Service for Georgia (State Department of
Agriculture, J. J. Brown. commissioner;
United States Estimates, L. M. Estabrook,
chief). Tliis decline in some districts was
as much as 13 or 14 points, in some cases
surpassing tlie record decline of last Au
gust. The plant is still late and while
rather well grown is very sappy.
As previously prophesied tlie boll weevil
lias multiplied rapidly and is now causing
very material damage in almost every eot
ton county. Many farmers who had never
previously become acquainted with tliis pest
are suffering heavy loss. This insect dam
age is particularly serious because of the
lateness of tlie crop. Unless the bolls have
become sufficiently grown before the weevil
becomes numerous, this insect strips all
fruit from the plant. No section of Georgia
will escape his ravages this season. There
is little question but that he will reduce
Georgia’s yield between 50,000 and To,ooo
bales, or between $750,000 and $1,000,000. At
tn« time of the report condition was still de
clining and the prospect was for a con
tinuance of the donward trend.

Germany Plans to
Export Nitrogen
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—Berlin
dispatches to the department of
commerce today said the German
government planned to release from
30,000 to 50,000 tons of nitrogen
made from air. for exportation free
of duty. Receipts from such sales
will be applied toward reducing
prices for German domestic con
sumers.
Governor Dorsey had engaged in a
prolonged conference with his local
friends, who had hoped sincerely
that he would divide time with Sen
ator Smith.
While this conference was in prog
ress behind closed doors on the sec
ond floor of the Hotel Johnson, Sen
ator Smith patiently and calmly
awaited the governor’s decision in
the hotel lobby discussing the cam
paign with a host of friends who
called to give him welcome to Wilkes
county.
Senator Smith and Governor Dor
sey passed the night under the roof
of \the same hotel. They break
fasted in the same dining room, but
at different times.
The negotiations for debate were
conducted through committees rep
resenting the two candidates.
Governor Meets Senator
As the governor walked through
the lobbv of the Hotel Johnson to
get in an automobile and proceed to
the courthouse, where he was to i'll
his engagement, he stopped and
shook hands with Senator Smith,
who was seated, talking to a group
bf friends.
Senator Smith explained to Gover
nor Dorsey that his
was not aware of the engagement ot
the governor to speak here when a
date was made for the senator. Th.-
governor in reply told the senator
that it was perfectly Agreeable to
him for the senator to take charge
of the meeting at the conclusion of
his address.
Senator Smith told Governor Dor
sey that any arrangement would be
suitable to him, indicating that a
joint discussion was desired.
Governor Dorsey had already in
structed his committee to inform
Senator Smith’s committee of his re
fusal to debate and the senator had
been notified of the governor’s de
clination.
The situation here coday recalled
to the people of Washington and
Wilkes county an incident of the
gubernatorial cafnpaign of 1906.
Hoke Smith, then a candidate for
governor came to Washington to fill
a speaking appointment. He found
here Judge Richard B. Russell and
Rev. Dr. G. A. Nunnally, also candi
dates for the gubernatorial nomina
tion. Efforts were made on that oc
casion to arrange a three cornered
debate, but they were without suc
cess. As a result each candidate
spoke “in his own time.” Shortly
thereafter Dr. Nunnally retired from
the governor’s race, and in the pri
mary that followed Smith was elec
ted overwhelmingly. The situation
precipitated here today by the pres
ence of Senator Smith and Governor
Dorsey was accidental.
Lone Bandit in Dark
Holds Up Trolley Car
ATLANTIC CITY. An armed
bandit is reported to have held up
a trolley car with passengers
bound for Longport, a summer re
sort seven miles from here. He ob
tained $23 from the conductor and
a mail bag. The lights in the car
were not burning at the time be
cause of the storm.
Covering the passengers and the
crew with a revolver, the bandit
forced the conductor to hand over
the day’s receipts and the mail bag.
The passengers held their hatfds
aloft while the bandit made his
haul. The authorities have not yet
learned the contents of the mail
pouch.
