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.

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. COTTONSEED OIL MARKET Open. Close.

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. Following are conditions of counties: DISTRICT NO. 1.

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.
