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. ROME BUTCHERS SELL INFECTED MEAT, SAYS CITIZEN; PROBE IS ON ROME.

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. Warehouse stocks in New York today, 86,213: certificated, 78.497.

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. PORT RECEIPTS.

Spots have been at a premium recently and tl 5 16c basis was freely paid here for 1,000-bale lots during market hours and up to and within about an hour of the close today. Offerings are light and the country seems busy lining up short commitments for September " 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.
