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.

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.

The rinj crowd were liberal sellers About noon the buying seemed con centrated. The Journal of Commerce says: "There is no frost damage yet.

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.
