A TTTF ATT, A XT A GEORGIA X AND XFTVS. 15 Senate Takes No Action on a Motion to Table Sweat’s School Measure. With the motion before it to table Senator Sweat’s compulsory educa tion bill, which precipitated a bitter fight led by Senators McNeill and Allen, the Senate adjourned Friday afternoon shortly before 1 o'clock without taking any action on the hill. Both Senators McNeill and Allen made a vigorous attack on the bill, the former charging that its only ef fect would be to let down the flood gates for the entrance of negro chil dren into the public schools. Senator Sweat, the author of the bill, denied this, whereupon Senator Allen charg ed that the bill was illegally consti tuted in that case, as it discriminated between white and black, which is contrary to the laws of the State. The consideration of the bill will be continued Friday afternoon. The Senate Friday morning passed unanimously the new charter for At lanta, with amendments providing for the submission of the initiative, referendum and recall clause and the proposed limitation of the Recorder’s power to the people before enaction Into law*. Abolishes Clerk’s Office. The new' charter as amended pro vides for the abolition of the present office of chief clerk of the city tax department and substitutes therefor a board of tax assessors and receiv ers, who shall nominate a chief clerk, subject to the confirmation first by the tax committee of the General Counncil and ultimately by the Gen eral Council. This provision will not be submitted to the vote of the peo ple. The bill provides further for the initiative and referendum and the recall of all heads of departments, in cluding the Mayor and members of the Council, upon the petition of a certain percentage of registered vot ers, and for the proper inspection of all elevators and boilers within the city limits. The new charter, as passed by the Senate, will be pent back to the House for its approval preparatory to final submission to the Governor. The Senate also passed Mr. Mc Gregor’s bill providing for a hearing by the Governor before trustees of public institutions shall be dismissed. According to the provisions of the bill such dismissal can be made only up on the recommendation of a majority of the members of the board of trus tees of the institution affected. New Bills in Senate. Among the new' bills introduced in the Senate Friday morning was a resolution by Senators Allen and Mc Gregor. requesting the State Board of Education to Investigate the advis ability of introducing in the schools of the State “Webster’s Blue Back Speller.” which was used in the com mon schools a half century ago and “is still better than those used to- dav,” according to Major McGregor. Senator Ollff, of the Fourth, also Introduced a resolution requesting the United States Government to make an appropriation to preserve Fort Frederick, on St. Simons Islantf, a relic of the days of General Ogle thorpe, first Governor of Georgia, The Senate Committee on Constitu tional Amendments, headed by Sena tor Harrell, of the Twelfth, reported favorably Friday the two constitu tional amendment taxing measures which were introduced at the instance of Governor Slaton. The bill creating a commission to investigate the re lease of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, which was defeated Thurs day, was also reported on favorably following recommitment. In addition to the general bills, the Senate passed the House bill giving the secret ballot to the city of Au gusta.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.— Uneasiness was again expressed to-day over weather conditions in Texas, and when the cot ton market opened, prices were at a net advance of 5 to 11 points !>om Thurs day’s final. New crops were tne strong est, August showing an udvunce of 15 points immediately after the opening The opening quotation was 11.75 ami the next figure was 11.85. There was no rain shown on the map, as had been generally expected and local weather experts failed to see any in sight Just at present and the market was bought freely from strong sources. Shorts were also good buyers, but on the rally there seemed to be some cotton for sale as sentiment continues very bearish. Later the maiket eased off sharply on reports of rain at Galveston and El Paso and less support was in evidence. Because the detailed weather map fafied to show any rains over the west ern belt, and private reports of deteri orations in Arkansas and Oklahoma caused by tTic high temperatures and dry weather, the market developed a steady tone during the afternoon ses sion. resulting in a rapid advance in prices from the early low point. Some of the large spot interests continue to buy on all reactions, which is encour aging to the bul' element. The bulls contend if rain does not come in the West within the next week that very serious damage will result and the feeling is now becoming more bull ish. The market is very easily influ enced on any weather news and prices will he governed accordingly. J.t the close the market was tseady with July at unchanged quotation and other positions at a net advance of 8 to 11 points from the final quotations of Thursday.

Aug 8.—More inquiry has developed in the wool market during the past week, probably stimulated by the increased demand for lightweight goods, following the recent openings by leading mills. Total sales are estimated at fully 2.000,000 pounds, the business being distributed among the leading houses and covering most of the desirable grades. Primary markets are now well cleaned up. except In Ohio, but even there very little is doing and buyers are coming home. Prices here are un changed. Liquidation of holdings wherever a profit is shown is the policy in favor and some transfers, it is said, have been made at a very small margin.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 8.—The hot and dry weather which prevailed over a large part of the country this week, while in juring the growing crops, was favorable for harvesting, storage and marketing of winter wheat, but delayed plowing of land for seeding of wheat hi the fall. However, there is no apprehension felt, as there still is ample time for this work w ith favorabe weather conditions. That there is more attention being given to the preparations of the soil ami se lection of seed is indicated by the larger yields and better quality of w’inter wheat. Thrashings continue to show larger yields than has been expected and the quality of the grain is of the best. There Is still a steady movement of w’heat to market, as the yield is so much larger than has been estimated and that most farmers are willirg to part with at least a portion of their crop.

HAYWARD <S CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 8. -The map shows cloudy weather prevailing over the eastern half of the belt and south Texas; generally fair elsewhere. Show ers were quite general east of the River, but none are shown west. Indications are for increasing cloudiness with pros pects for precipitation to come on the eastern States over Sunday Cloudy and showery w’eather In indicated for the central and eastern States. Liverpool was poor at first but ral lied on the absence of rain in the West. Spot prices 6 points lower; sales 8,000 bales First traders here were at an advance of about 6 points on nervous covering by shorts on the Government forecast of fair weather to-day and to morrow in Oklahoma and Texas, but prices soon dropped to last night's clos ing figures when Galveston reported heavy rain. New York says the declin ing tendency is due more to the differ ence of speculation to furnish support than to w’eather prospects Trading is very quiet, waiting for weather developments in the western Si; tes over Sunday.

Aug. 8—The weather over the greater portion of the corn belt was again hot and dry, although in sections of Nebraska anq Iowa it was reported as cooler. Northeastern and eastern as well as northern and central Illinois were visited by raijis last night, hut as an offset to this a message was received from Kansas City, saying that n .®L ,rie sections of Missouri the crop will be a total failure, and that in others It will not average over 50 per cent. The forecast of the weather bureau up to to morrow evening shows no relief In sight for the corn crop. News of this nature, as well as generally bullish feeling in the corn market brought further upturns of % fa Y»c at the opening this morning. The strength in the corn market car ried wheat %® %c higher at the open ing. in spite of the generally bearish qews received from the Old World as well as our own and the Canadian North west. Weather In Europe was favorable for harvesting and movement, and car goes at Liverpool were freely offered ut concessions. Fine general rains were re ported tn the Canadian Northwest, which are good for the Ailing of the crops, and beneficial rains were reported In our own Northwest The corn market had a strengthening influence on oats and sales were made at tJgher levels. Trading in provisions was rather light early, but the market had a stronger undertone, being Influenced to some ex tent by the strength In coarse grains and he higher market for hogs at the yards.
