county, grounds sufficiently largo for the
purpose near the city were purchased, and
a great deal of interest is being mani
fested.

“We’re Out to Break the Solid
South,” Colonel Tells His
Arkansas Auditors.
LITTLE ROCK, ARK., Sept. 25.—1 f
the Progressives do not carry at least
one of the Southern states, it will not
be because of any inactivity on the
part of Colonel Roosevelt.
The ex-president plunged Into the
fight in Oklahoma yesterday with his
old-time vim and when he started in
today in this state he was even more
vigorous.
"We're out to break the solid South,”
observed the colonel to one of Arkan
sas' committeemen as the train rolled
In here. "Think we can do it?”
Roosevelt bases his expectation of
polling a big vote in Oklahoma, Arkan
sas. Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama,
Louisiana, Maryland and North Caro
lina upon the discontent that he is in
formed exists among the old line Re
publicans. The reign of the Federal
officeholders in those states has been
the cause of violent protest and the
malcontents are loudly declaring they
will vote for Roosevelt.
The colonel says he feels confident
that, of the Southern states mentioned,
he will carry Oklahoma, Georgia, Mary
land and North Carolina. As to the
others, he thinks he has a fighting
chance. All of the states will be
stumped by the colonel as vigorously
as he did Oklahoma in his rapid dash
of yesterday.
Waterway Delegates Greet Colonel.
The address of Colonel Roosevelt was
the event of principal Interest on the
program of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep
Waterway association today. Many of
the delegates joined in the reception
tendered to the colonel on his arrival.
The reception committee was headed
by John M. Parker, of New Orleans.
One hundred automobiles trailed
through the streets from the depot to
the hotel after the colonel’s arrival and
for some hours Roosevelt greeted the
delegates at a hand-shaking bee at his
hotel.
The reception tendered by the asso
ciation to the colonel was purely non
partisan. Governor-elect Robinson,
Senator James P. Clark, Judge U. M.
Rose and others prominent here and in’
the waterway movement called on the
colonel.
Roosevelt reached here early this
morning for a seven-hour stay. On his
way to Memphis he will speak at sev
eral small Arkansas towns.

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
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
I 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.

IRREGULARITY IN
COTTON PRICES
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 1
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 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 Din
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 <i. CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 25.—80th 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 atul 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 anil 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. 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
homa. against 66 last yera. Such low
temperatures In Oklahoma 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.

Os the Fleecy Staple]
NEW YORK. Sept. 25.--Carpenter, Bag- I
gut it Co.: S. Tate, of Carpenter, Baggot I
& 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 I
his friends this morning a high in ex- 5
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 wore
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
homa -Generally’ fair and colder; strong
north winds."
It was rumored this morning that the
National Ginners' condition of the crop
was 68 to 69, against 67.4 last month.
This rumor was not confirmed.
Hutton and Pell interests were said to
have bought heavily today, which was re
ported to be for New Orleans account, and
Schill is said to have sold freely.
Following are 11 a. in. bills: October
11.25, December 11.54, January 11.51,
March 11.65.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 25. Hayward &
Clark: The weather map shows cloudy
over entire belt; no rain, except some in
the Atlantics. Unusually low tempera
tures in northwestern section of the cot
ton belt; Amarillo 38, Oklahoma 42. with
wind from north, anil 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 1.1 5-lGc 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 'l'imes-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. Las: week there was a
frost prediction for the northwestern por
tion of the belt am! 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
is 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 towanl 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-
I stltute a bearish situation in the cotton
! market were not underlying conditions of
a strength-giving character.

I By CHARLES W. STORM.
; NE\\ YORK, Sept. 25.—Amalgamated
• I upper 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
i conda's dividend rate implies that the rate
l of Amalgamated will be increased in Oc
: tober. Most of the speculative interest
: tvas centered in the industrials and many
oi them made gains. Among them were
steel common %, American Smelting %
j and some of the equipment shares.
Canadian Pacific was a strong issue
I here as a result of buying In London on
I the earnings report. After opening %c
higher here Canadian Pacific made still
i further gains. Southern Pacific was up
| %, while Baltimore and Ohio and Mls
: souri Pacific gained % each.
! The curb was steady. Americans in
1 London wore cheerful.
i Activity an*! strength were shown in
I the industrials in the late forenoon and
substantial gains were made. American
Smelting was exceptionally strong, ad
vancing 2% to 90. Utah Copper anil 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.
i An upward movement which started In
i 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
*okl at 173%, against 173% earlier in the
day.
