EDWARDS KICKS
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 commerce
commission in Washington as to the
right of the Southern railway to -de
cline the sale of transportation on its
trains operated over the tracks of the
Atlantic Coast Line, an unaffiliated
I 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
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 Edwards 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.

COTTON PRIDES
After Erratic Trading Session
Market Weakens at Close
on Liquidation.
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 t
to 3 points lower to 1 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
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 buying was mod
erate on prediction of colder weather tn
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 bead by rumors that National Gln
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
In 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 is 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.
At the close the market was barely
steady with prices displaying irregularity
ranging from 2 to 3 points lower to 2 to 4
points higher than the final quotations of
Tuesday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTEK
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 Atlantic.?. Much lower tempera
tures in the northwest. Amarillo, in pan
handle of Texas. 38 degrees. Oklahoma.
City 42. Indications point to a further
fall in north Texas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas, and probably frost general in the
northwestern 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
hon a, against 66 last yera Such low
temperatures in Oklahoma did not appear
last year until October U.
In view of the fact that all correspond
ence from Oklahoma expressed the hope
of a large crop if frost held off until H e
middle of October, the present unusally
cold weather may reduce crop
prospects there. Definite information in
this respect will not be had until later.
The lower central and eastern states are
in no flanger of cold weather of conse
quence from this cold wave, but prospects
are for further rains.

A Co, says: "Early in the week the gov
ernment bureau report predicted there
would be a high barometer appearing in
the Northwest about Wednesday or
Thursday, which would bring very much
colder weather. E. G. Scales, who is a
close student of the weather map. wires
his friends this morning a high in ex
treme Northwest just showing up that
will give heavy frost about Sunday or
Monday in the Mississippi valley and
western cotton belt, and is advising his
friends to buy some cotton."
Some good buying prevailed at the ini
tial trading, which looked like shorts were
covering on predictions of much colder
weather In the west tonight. The rinj
crowd were liberal sellers
About noon the buying seemed con
centrated.
The Journal of Commerce says: "There
is no frost damage yet. Everybody is
watching the weather, as much depends
upon delay in frost for cotton."
Dallas wires: "Texas—Eastern portion
clear; balance partly cloudy to cloudy; 44
at Quanah. 38 at Amarillo, 50 at Abilene.
56 at Dallas; getting colder; north winds;
high north winds in panhandle. Okla

It was rumored this morning that the
National Ginners’ condition of the crop

This rumor was not confirmed.
Hutton and Pell interests were said to

over entire belt; no rain, except some in
the Unusually low tempera
tures In northwestern section of the cot
ton belt; Amarillo 38. Oklahoma 42, with
wind from north, and indications for cold
er tonight; rainy, colder weather indi
cated over nearly the entire belt. Map
indicates further fall in temperatures to
night In north Texas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas; rains and cooler in south Texas.
San Antonio writes, dated September
23 "Many points in this section report
picking nearly over, and some gins are
not now running full time However,
most all of them have ginned to date
more than last year's total Some blooms
have been reported recently, but no one
expects any top crop of consequence, re
gardless of what the weather may be.
Spots have been at a premium recently
and 11 5-16 c 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 filling, up short
commitments for September ”
The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
In the cotton belt the coming of killing
frost is usually preceded by a series of
frost scares. This season frost talk has
started early. Last week there was a
frost prediction for the northwestern 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 tears 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 falling to appear, would con
stitute a bearish situation in the cotton
market were not underlying conditions of
a strength-giving character.

’ By CHARLES W. STORM.
I Nr.W lORK, Sept 25.—Amalgamated
Copper was one of the most prominent
stocks at the opening of the market to
day. advancing to 91%. Buying of this
issue was based on a belief that Ana
conda's dividend rate implies that the rate
of Amalgamated wiM be increased in Oc
tober. Most of the .speculative interest
yvas centered in the Industrials and many
of them made gains. Among them were
Steel common %, American Smelting %
and some of the equipment shares.
Canadian Pacific was a strong Issue
here as a result of buying in London on
the earnings report. After opening 54c
higher here Canadian Pacific made still
further gains Southern Pacific was up
while Baltimore and Ohio and Mis
souri Pacific gained each.
The curb was steady. Americans in
London were cheerful.
I Activity and strength were shown in
I tlie industrials :n the late forenoon and
substantial gains were made. American
| Smelting was exceptionally strong, ad
• vancing 25k to 90. Utah Copper and Gug
genheim Exploration were active, moving
up more than a point each. A number
of minor steel industrials were also active
and strong The railroad list displayed a
heavy tone.
An upward movement which started in
the middle afternoon continued with the
Harriman Issues, making the best show
ing in the final trading. As the result of
reports that earnings of the Southern Pa
cific and Union Pacific for August were
unusually good, a buying movement set
in. particularly in Union Pacific, which
sold at 173%. against 173" a earlier in the
day.
Stocks closed irregular.
Government bonds unchanged. Other
bonds steady.
