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.

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. LONGING FOR LEARNING, YOUTH HANGS HIMSELF ASBURY PARK. N.

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. RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES.

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.
