Liverpool made a very weak showing, reports from the domestic goods trade showed no improve ment, there was a renewal of southern •elling and, except for the gulf stodm | . threat, weather conditions were considered favorable. First prices were barely steady at a decline of S to 50 points, and active months sold about 40 to 79 points net lower, Within the first half hour of trading, under local selling The break carried October off to 24.21, December io 21.95 and January to 21.26, or about 100 to 125 points below the high prices reached yesterday. The early decline Was followed by ral lies late in the forenoon on predictions of frost for northern parts of Arkansas, Okla homa and west Texas tonight. The unfavor able eastern belt forecast was also an in fluence on the rally which carried October •bout 20 points from the lowest while later months sold 15 to 30 points net higher with January selling at 21.85. This bulge was checked by the bearish weekly report of the .Weather bureau but offerings were much lighter than recently and prices held fairly ■teady around midday. The favorable weekly report of the weath er bureau failed to inspire any selling of consequence and the market was much less active during the early afternoon with prices improving on frost predictions and Covering. October was relatively easy, hold ing around 24.75, or 25 points net lower. While December was up to 22.90 and January to 22.15, or 45 to 50 points net higher.

As the market fell new buying was met, based on the hurricane warnings issued for the gulf coast overnight. Prices reacted but not very strongly, the list of trading months standing 18 down tt> 10 up compared with yesterday’s final prices, at the end of the first hour of business. Octo ber rose to 22.30. • The forecast of frost for large areas of the northwestern portion of the belt brought in general buying and the market moved up ward strongly on the more distant months." October became rather inactive and did not follow the rest of the list. Late in the morning December was at 21.70 and the ac tive months were 28 to 61 points over the last quotattions of yesterday. Private reports of falling temperatures in the extreme northwestern portion of the I belt and fear of frost on tomorrow’s weath er map made for a very steady market in the late tradeing. October was sent to a level 17 points over yesterday’s close and the later months 66 to 76 over, December touching 21.86.

The sec ond was the question as to what steps should be taken to finance ex ports of cotton. Answering the lat ter question, Governor Dorsey sent the following telegram to Mr. Wan namaker: “In re: Telegram September twenty-seventh: I have heretofore indicated that in my opinion each of the southern cotton growing states should establish banking in stitutions and that each of these should then, under federal laws, take stock in export corporation as sug gested by Governor Harding. “We are organizing here Georgia Cotton Bank & Trust Corporation. Stock subscribed will be called in •November 1, and at stated periods thereafter. Feel that we Will have this organization perfected early in the first months of next year. Sug gests that American Cotton associa tion get back of this enterprise in Georgia and then proceed with sim ilar organizations in other states. This in my opinion and in the opin ion of nearly every well-informed cotton man with whom I have talk ed offers the only opportunity for relief. "I can’t bqlieve that you can hope to solve all these questions by reso lutions and conferences.” Jordan Issues Statement Harvie Jordan, national secretary of the American Cotton association, whose office is in Atlanta, on Tues day issued the following statement in regard to the cotton market situ ation: ‘‘The present drive against the price of spot cotton is totally un warranted from any legitimate stand point. There can arise no legitimate urgency for forcing the price of spot cotton below the cost of production, which present prices so forcibly in dicate.' “The south cannot afford to see the cotton crop sacrificed with its inev itable result of financial depression on the commercial and agricultural life Os the cotton belt. The organ ized efforts of speculators and spin ners to secure a reduction in the price of cotton fabrics by this mer ciless hammering of the spot market should be resisted to the utmost. The American Cotton association and ev ery state division of the organiza tion is arousing the people to every possible resistance. The federal re serve banks in the cotton belt are fully prepared to make loans through member banks on agricultural paper secured by cotton warehouse re ceipts. “The intensive campaign of the association for warehouse construc tion in the past twelve months has honeycombed the cotton counties with warehouse facilities for storing the crop and marketing the staple slowly to meet only the needs of le gitimate consumption. “The production of Ajnerican cbt ton cannot be continued at prices which do not cover cost, plus a rea sonable profit. The association is standing firmly for a price to the growers of 40 cents per pound, basis middling, and will not recede from this position. A price less than that means financial ruin to the cotton growing interests. Plans to plant but one-third of the farming area In cotton in 1921 and the other two thirds in food and feed crops will be put into actual operation. The man ufacturers can materially cut the present price of cotton goods with out heavy loss to the enormous divi dends they have made for the past few years. “The price of spot cotton is now far below the actual cost of produc tion and will not be sold by the growers at such prices.” ttomson & McKinnon gßain letter CHICAGO, Sept. 29.—Wheat: This mar ket has ruled quieter. Export demand not much in evidence. From Minneapolis come reports of better flour trade and a holding position by the company. There further sales of Canadian wheat to go to Milwaukee today. , ... .. Cora A steady to firm market with the September the center of Interest. Leading elevator concerns were buyers of the cash corn again. Fairly good demand was expe rienced in December on account of the hold ing strength of September and offerings seemed to come only from people who were buyers lower down. The adjustment that must hike place after the first of Octo ber between $1.25 cash corn, $1.07 Octo ber and 96 cents December corn is a problem to give one thought. Certainly, should cash prices be maintained at an apparent high level the December short momentarily, at least, might be made uneasy. A question as to receeipts after September sales are filfted is also of interest. The situation rather suggests that while ultimately prices mav and probably will, be adjusted to lower levels, for the time being sales are to be avoided except after advances and then our choice would be the May. Oats: This market Is in a rut held steady by the September corn prices. The May looks to be a purchase around a 60-cent level. Provisions: Hogs were lower again today and the feeling is unsettled, bt we must wait until the statement of stocks is out before we can get much inspiration as to course of values.

Granulated Sugar Drops to 13 1-2 Cents NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—Through a further reduction of half a cent by the Federal Sugar Refining company today, the price of granulated sugar dropped to 13% cents a pound. This was the lowest price since the gov ernment relinquished control and about 12 cents a pound less than the high level prevailing early in the summer. Storm Warning NEW YORK, Sept. 29.

The weather bureau here today issued the following storm warning: “Advices at 10 a. ni. —Tropical storms cen tral this morning near latitude 26 and longi tude ?•, ffioviwg slowly northeastward. Shipping in central and eastern gulf of Mexico should exercise great caution.” An earlier emergency warning j>f a tropi cal hurricane off the Florida and Louisiana coasts indicated It was expected to reach gale force or higher later today. The warn ing then indicated the disturbance was cen tral at latitude 20, longitude 69, moving northeast, with increasing winds. 4 CANDIDATES FILE CAMPAIGN EXPENSE.

Treadwell whose mys terious disappearance has baffled the police and the searchers who have been dragging the Oconee river be low the cemetery bridge since Fri day morning. Continuous search has failed to disclose the body or any further evidence that would point to his death by violence. Friday morning, George Colley, who was fishing in the Oconee, was startled by the sound of a splash. He looked up and saw an automo bile standing on the bridge and a man running across tne bridge to wards town. He at once reported this to the police. Investigation showed that the car belonged to Mr. Treadwell. In it were his hat and watch chain. No sign of crime could ! be shown, however. Immediately a party assembled to ; drag the river for the body. As yet 1 this has not been found and search* 1 is being continued. One hundred i dollars has been offered by the broth er-in-law of Mr. Treadwell to the one discovering the body. 7 Mr. Treadwell, who lives in Oco nee county, was in Athens Thurs day and cashed several checks ; amounting to $1,500. Robbery has i been advanced as a motive for any crime that may have been commit ted. A similar case some years ago adds to the plausibility of this the ory.

Friendless Old Pauper Leaves SBB,OOO Pile NEW YORK, N. Y.—An elderly man was taken off a train here in i a wheelchair by three porters sev- | eral weeks ago. He was feeble and unkempt, and claimed that he had j been robbed of all his money on the train. He was taken as a pau per to Bellevue hospital. Now he is dead—and he left a fortune of SBB,OOO. Peter Vidovitch, the supposed pau per, was an Alaskan miner. He was born in Austria sixty-five years ago. The fortune he left consisted of $54,000 in Liberty bonds and $26,- 000 deposited in three banks in San Francisco. On his person were $5,- 000 cash, jewelry valued at $3,000 and a gold slab three inches thick. The deposits and Liberty bonds were discovered when a packet con taining a will was opened.- In ac cordance with the will the fortune is left in lots of $2,000 and $3,000 • each to brothers, sisters and near kin. There also is a gift of $2,000 tor a church in Austria.

JAMESON A statement to the people of Geor gia by Dr. S. "5". Jameson, formerly president of Mercer university, se verely criticizing the .Atlanta Geor gian for printing on its editorial page an anonymous letter charging Clifford Walker with having done nothing to aid in the conduct of the war. was given out Tuesday after noon by the Walker campaign head quarters.

Further, Mr. Walker spent the greater part of his time, during the war, in speeches for the Liberty Loans, the Red Cross, and other en terprises wherein his help was need ed by the government.

Mr. Hardwick said the editorial which provoked him to legal action was an insinuation by the Tele graph that Mr. Hardwick connived with “Reds” and purposely planned the sending of an infernal machine into the Atlanta home of Mr. Hard wick more than a year ago, when his wife was seriously injured and a negrp servant girl was permanently maimed. “When Mr. Anderson wrote that he wrote an infamous, miserable and cowardly lie, and he knew it,” said Mr. Hardwick. “With tnat editorial Georgia journalism sunk to its low est level. Such a charge passed all human indurance and all decency, and whether I am elected governor or am defeated, I am going to press my suit and make him pay.” FRisONERSAND CANNON CAPTURED BY POLISH FORCE WARSAW, Sept. 28.—(8y the As sociated Press.) —Polish cavalry op erating in the rear of retreating Bol sheyik forces in the region of Grodno have reached a point north of Lida, says an official statement issued here early today.
