EDWARDS KICKS i
TO RAIL BOARD
Congressman Attacks South
ern for Refusing to Sell Tick
ets Over Line It Uses.
Congressman Charles G. Edwards, of
Savannah, today notified the Georgia
railroad commission that he has asked a
ruling from the interstate commercej
commission in Washington as to the
tight <>f the Southern railway to de-1
(line the sale of transportation on its
trains operated over the tracks of the
Atlantic Coast Line, an unaffiliated
road, and petitioned the Georgia com
mission. in line with his inquiry’ of the
interstate commission, to look into and
rule upon the general question of the
rights of railroads so operating in Geor-
I gia to adopt similar policies.
Congressman Edwards specifically
complains to the interstate commerce
commission that his brother attempted
to purchase a ticket from Savannah to
Jacksonville for use on a Southern
train using the Atlantic Coast Line
tracks between the two points, and
that the Southern agent refused to sell
him the ticket. The agent informed
Mr. Edwards that the Southern operat
ed through trains only over the Coast
Line tracks, and did not interfere, in
any way, with the local traffic of the
Coast Line. It is the right of the
Southern to do this, and the right of
the Coast Line to lease its trackage for
such purposes exclusively, that Con
gressman Edw’ards wishes investigated
and ruled upon.
The Georgia commission may’ delay
its ruling on the question until after
the interstate commission has handed
down an opinion.

COIDWEATHER I
HELPS COTTON
Prediction of Frost Stimulates
Market and Prices Close at
Sharp Advance.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—Weakness in
Liverpool cables and absence of frost last
night caused the cotton market to open
barely steady today, with prices ranging I
to 3 points lower to I point lower than
last night's close. During the first fif
teen minutes of trading a good buying
wave prevailed, which appeared to come
from shorts who are believed to be cov
ering on predictions of much colder
weather in the western belt tonight with
the probability of frost for tonight and
prices advanced 7 to 9 points over the
opening figures. After the call the mar- I
ket became unsettled and sagged a few
points. The ring crowd was free sellers,
while the buying was moderate and scat
tered.
The selling throughout the morning
session continued rather general by the
same bears that predominated in the
market yesterday The buy’ing was mod
erate on prediction of colder weather In
north Texas and Oklahoma, which rallied
the market, but the volume of business
was rather small and fluctuations were
narrow. Reports of great deterioration
continued to come in from the eastern
and western belts, but this was knocked
in the head by’ rumors that National Gin
ners condition figures were 68 to 69,
against 67.4 last month, which was re
garded very bearish and prices during the
afternoon trading were only a few points
tn excess of the initial figures, ranging
about 4 to 7 points from the opening.
There has been good spot demand re
ported in various sections and the pre
vailing opinion among traders fs that the
market will not have any decline of con
sequence. as the average trader seems to
be awaiting to buy on any reaction, as
the conception of the larger spot inter
ests have been quietly buying for past
few days. Sentiments at present are
somewhat mixed.

HAYWARD &. CLARK’S
- DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Sept 25 —Both Liv
erpool and New York appear to be heavy
owing to an unfavorable technical condi
tion. absence of short interests, slow mill
demand and large daily' hedge selling.
Liverpool came In somewhat lower than
due and shows spot prices only 3 points
higher.
The bull support of last week does not
seem in evidence in New York and the
market required the stimulant of unfa
vorable weather to sustain prices. After
an advance of about 5 points, prices here
dropped back to 11.59. It is thought
that tomorrow's bureau report on sup
ply and distribution will show bearish
statistics in large stocks. Bullish reports
by states are expected from The Journal
of Commerce in the next few days.
The map shows cloudy weather over
nearly the entire belt. Little rain except
in the Atlantics. Much lower tempera
tures in the northwest. Amarillo, in pan
handle of Texas. 38 degrees, < Iklahoma
City 42 Indications point to a further
fall In north Texas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas. and probably frost general in the
nortliwestern quarter of the belt: rainy
and cooler weather elsewhere The tem
perature average for Texas yesterday was
62. against 70 last year and 44 for Okla
homa. against 66 last yera Such low
temperatures in < iklahoma did not appear
last year until October 9.
In view’ of the fact that all correspond
ence from Oklahoma expressed the hope
of a large crop if frost held off until the
middle of October, the present unusally
cold weather may materially reduce crop
prospects there. Definite information in
this respect will not be had until later.
The lower central and eastern states are
in no danger of cold weather of conse
quence from this cold wave, but prospects
are for further rains.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat say s:
In the cotton belt the coining of killing
frost fs usually preceded by a series of
frost scares. This season frost talk has
started early. I.ast week there was a
frost prediction for the nortliwestern por
tion of the belt and light frost came in
the Texas panhandle. Yesterday the
weather man promised low temperatures,
possibly near freezing, in that section
The returns this morning may show
the thermometer failed to drop as low
as expected, but the weather students
on the floor say’ the pointer is for frost,
marks on the map by Thursday morning.
They , in turn, may be mistaken. Never
theless, the barometric lines show a dis
tinct drift toward an early fall, the one
development the big crop man fears. On
the other hand, cotton is piling up at
Galveston, in spite of the fact that ocean
freight rates are lower and "relet" export
room is seeking purchasers. Under the
circumstances, the bear attempts to prove
the untenableness of the bulls' position
by saying the fact that the market re
fuses to advance in the face of frost
warnings demonstrates underlying weak
ness.
The bull takes the position that almost
everybody being against the market, the
demand for the actual being spasmodic
and frost failing to appear, would con
stitute a bearish situation in the cotton
market were not underlying conditions of
a strength-giving character.
