Readjustment of all rates in the territory south of the Potomac River and east of the Mississippi will be necessary to conform to the Inter state Commerce Commission's ruling giving lower freights to LaGrange, Vienna and Carrollton, according to Watkins & Latimer, attorneys in the case. The old basing point system, except as applied to ports and to large cities. Is doom€*d under this decisions, they say, although the Commission passed only on the three cases at hand. Under the old system certain smail towns, usually at the head of rela tively unimportant rivers, have been made basing points. Rates to other towns of the same size, equidistant or nearer the Ohio River crossings or the large cities in Southeastern ter ritory, have been given the through rate to thes*e points, plus the local from the favored town. The Commission holds that there 13 no real reason for giving such places as Cedartown. Ga„ through rates, and denying them to such towns as Vien na. Carrollton and LaGrange The immediate result, It is be lieved, will be wider scattering of the small jobbing houses, and more business for the large jobbing houses in the principal cities. The saving In freights is estimated at $40,000,000 or $50,000,000 yearly. The Commission had the case under advisement from November 11, 1911, until August 4. 1913.

BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 6.—Two sus- pects whom police believe had a hand in the robbery of the mail car ^>n the Louisville and Nashville Railroad be tween Calera and Birmingham last night are being questioned at police headquarters. They answer descrip tions given by mail clerks, but both strenuously deny their guilt. Chief of Police Bodeker, of this city, where the men made their es cape from the train, has detailed ev ery available detective on the force to be on the lookout for the robbers, the local men being augmented by several railroad detectives. Chief Bodeker says the robbery undoubt edly was the work of professionals. No estimate of the loss by looting of registered mail pouches is yet avail able. Express company detectives are working on the theory that the rob bery was committed by men who are acquainted with operations of trains on the L. & N. and also with work in mail cars. Descriptions furnished by men who were in the car at the time of the robbery indicate that the robbers were young white men. Their masks extended from face to waist. However, in the breeze at times the features of the robbers were seen. No doubt is expressed by detectives that thfc men who did the work are residents of or have headquarters in Birmingham. After the engine of the train had taken water at a tank this side of Calera the robbers boarded the mail car. Then knowing there was no stop between Calera and Birmingham, 30 miles, they went to work rifling the registered mail. At Fourteenth street, four blocks from the passenger sta tion here, the robbers squeezed the airbrake, brought the train to a stop and Jumped off. Engineer Wissenger then found the mail clerks handcuff ed and tied up. SENDS CGITON UP High Cables and Dry Weather Stimulate Buying and Cause Uneasiness Among Bears. NEW YORK, Aug 6 — Influenced by steady cables ami an absence of rain In Texas, the cotton market opened firm to-day, with first prices at a net advance of 3 to 7 points from last night’s close. In view of yesterday’s bretfY the short interest was a little nervous. This, coupled with private ad vices from Texas stating, not with standing Iasi week's rains, more mois ture is need over the Southwestern belt, resulting in prices snaring some 2 to 8 points from the initial level. The sell ing was very light and scattered. Shorts were good buyers. Spot interests also bought. During the forenoon the market was steady on buying on bullish advice from Theodore Price on high temperatures in Oklahoma High temperature there is usually the forerunner of rain. There were some telegrams in circu lation from the belt stating that there was some deterioration going on, caused by dry weather anil high temperatures. Later when the noon weather report was posted, showing extremely high temper atures in the Western belt in many points stimulated the buying ami caused more uneasiness among the bear forces. The weather map complete indicates increasing cloudiness in the Northwest ern quarter of the cotton belt; cooler, possibly some showers in Northwest Texas. Part cloudy over rest of the belt, except cloudy with probably some showers in the Gulf coast districts. Gulf disturbance is unchanged in posi tion, but is likely to move West in a few days and give prospects for precipita tion in Southern Texas. While sentiment is generally bearish there is a feeling that higher prices may be expected, just now in the face of the above conditions. Whether the advance will be sustained or not depends on weather conditions over the next few days The bulls contend that another week of dry weather in the» West will cause serious damage and a stampede will follow.

The New' Orleuns Times-DemocrHt says: “Liverpool's opening after the holidays was significantly low. Bulls had hoped that foreign spinners would show some concern over the Bureau condition tigures promulgated Friday last when the Liverpool market began business yesterday. But they did noth ing of the kind: on the contrary, ab sence of demand for forward cotton proved an active bearish factor. Stu dents of the staple say there can be no question as to the existence of a large forward requirement. Why, then, is demand lacking now, when, under normal conditions, as In ordinasv years, consumers cover their fall, winter and spring requirements exporters busily engage in catering into forward commit ments, the future markets supply the hedges and the steamships sell ocean freight room? “To the man who searches for the cause behind every effect the answer Comes easy. It Is Washington’s threat of prohibitive legislation. The effect of this threat Is twofold, and Its rami fications are both subtle and obvious. Meanwhile,, the American rings are short, the volume of business light and the trade In suspense." * * • There were no rains shown In the weather map, which brought out a fair amount of buying early. The selling was very much scattered. Weld was principal buyer. There were some un favorable private reports being received this morning. Liverpool cables: “Market good on reports of drouth damage in Texas. Ok lahoma. Manchester reports poor.’’ * * * Map indicates cooler with some pre cipitation coming in from the Central grain States. * * * Austin, Texas, wires “Farmers In town yesterday complaining of plant shedding and recent rains Insufficient."

Indications are for Increasing cloudiness; cooler weather with possi bly some showers in the Northwestern quarter, part eloudv in rest of the belt, except over the Gulf districts. The market advanced nearly 10 points in the early trading, the buying being based on high temperalures in Okla homa, which State shows an average of 104 degrees, and absence of rain in Texas ami Oklahoma. Trading, how ever, is small and support timid. In the fear of hedge selling, while crop pros pects in Oklahoma are declining, the greater part of Texafc needs relief from the drouth last week, ami the danger of damage there is not yet being con sidered seriously. Weather and crop conditions in the Central and Eastern States are generally accepted us good. Reports from New York and advices from there to buy would indicate ihe work for a reaction, which was spoiled by the good rains in central Texas dur ing the last three days of the past week, d been resumed on the same basis of threatened drouth In the Western States.

Everybody wanted to sell on reported cooler weather over the larger portion of the grain region. The selling seemed to he profit taking by holders, who were tired of waiting for the anticipated lower temperatures and rains. Offerings were readily absorbed by strong Houroes. Along toward the close corn led iu excitement oral strength, but failed to retrieve the early decline. The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “Wheat has had a break of 3%c from Monday’s high price and the trade seemH more bearish because of the big receipts, anticipation of good showing by the Government report Friday, and a lessening of the export demand and the decline in cash premiums. It would not be surprising to see prices drag some lower. What the corn market wiU do to-day depends on how much rain is shown on the map. With good soak ing rains over the belt a sharp break is anticipated, but with only light showers and high temperatures, trailers look for prices to hold around present levels and possibly go a little higher." * * * Nlcolet, of The Kansas City Star, says that Kansas will have one of the small est corn crops this year ever produced. It is Intimated that stop-loss orders ate heavy in all speculative corn mar kets. and that a decline of l%c- or so would uncover many. Chicago people report country houses buying, with or ders accompanied by sensational crop news. * • * John Inglis wired Logan & Bryan: “Southeastern Nebraska, with exception of some of the bottoms, all corn suffer ing and losing ground. Considerable acreage Just tasseling. for which some hopes are entertained. Is fast losing, as tasseling period is Just when rain Is most needed." * • i Yields of 739.730,000 bushels of wheat. 2.800.000.000 bushels of corn 1.003.266.000 bushels of oats and 14,702,000 bales of cotton were estimated for this season in the annual crop report of the Con tinental and Commercial National Hank made public to-day. Other yields were estimated. Rye 36,854.000 bushels, barley 200.527,000 bushels and hay 66,610,000 tons. The Increase In the wheat yield was estimated at 9.000,000 buHhels over last year’s crop. This is 170.000,000 bushels more than the United States can use in one year. • • • Grain region forecast: Illinois cloudy, with showers in north and central por tions to-night or Thursday; cooler. In diana. Wisconsin, Minnesota, showers to-night or- Thursday and cooler; Mis souri, Kansas. Nebraska and Michigan, generally fair; Iowa probably light showers to-night or Thursday; Dakotas, cloudy to-night and Thursday, warmer • • « Corn was sold on reports of rains west of the river. azien The weather in the Northwest is clear with seasonable temperatures. Local sentiment is very bearish and the vol ume of new buying limited. Brices look as.though they would drag lower, but the market has had a sharp break since Monday, an<1 we do not care to press short sales on this decline. “Corn—The weather map shows very light scattered showers at a few points in Nebraska and Iowa through central Illinois. There was a good deal of short corn put out yesterday by locals in an ticipation of rains, which is likely to be covered to-day “Oats The volume of trade Is lighter, and there has been a good deal of even ing-up during the past few days. Of ferings of the crop are moderate, but the demand is rather light. Brices will he influenced by wheal ami com. “Provisions- Liquidation in provisions seems to have been quite thorough again and thefo was a good class of buying on yesterday's rally.” * * ♦ From the action of both wheat and corn this morning It looks as though liquidation had been pretty thorough yesterday, and the general belief is that the market will rule higher. * * * Price Current estimates corn crop at 2.652.000 bushels, and oats crop at 878,- 000,000 bushels. • * » Temperatures und rainfall: Canadian Northwest clear. 46 to 68; Northwest, 56 to G8; partly cloudy; West cloudy, 64 to 72; Valentine rained. .20; North Platte, .02: Boo City raining, trace; Davenport. .05; Chicago. .01; Peoria, .02; Spring- field.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—The wheat marke$ showed a decline of % to %c rigtfR afl the opening this morning on weaker cables, favorable weather In Russia* some relief from dry conditions in Aus tralia and Argentina, and generally good reports regarding the quality and yield of wheat in Europe. Offerings of Euro pean wheat were more liberal and the weather in our own Northwest, as well as Canada, was generally favorable. On the. break established ihe buying ele ment became quite active and values were soon brought back to the resting spots of yesterday, and in some cased -wight gains were shown. Northwestern receipts were again light, as was also the case at Winnipeg. The corn market acted in much the same manner as w'heat during the first half of the day. a decline equal to thaB shown in wheat being recorded only to recover and advance to levels above those ruling at the close of yesterday. Weather over parts of the corn belt wad unsettled and rains were reported 4ti a few places These, however, were in unimportant corn producing sections and of little help to the bears In conse quence. ^ Oats showed a loss of about % to % at the opening, but this market failed to follow the recoveries shown by wheat und com.
