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 Ihi,- 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 ,h e State. For Father Yeai’S AgO 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 I' : !'!:•■ submission of the initiative, . and recall clause and the proposed limitation of the Recorder’s power to the people before enaction I into law Abolishes Clerk’s Office.

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 I city limits. The new charter, as passed by the Senate, will be sient back to the House for its approval preparatory to final submission to the Governor.

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. nun schools a half century ago and “is still better than those used to- c v." according ♦a Major McGregor. * Senator Cliff, of the Fourth, also introduced a resolution requesting the United States Government to make an appropriation to preserve Fort Frederick, on St. Simons Island, a relic of the days of General Ogle- th'Tpe. first Governor of Georgia.

Aug. 8.—Hayward & Clark: The weather map shows part cloudy over eastern half of belt and south Texas; generaly fair elsewhere; general showers In eastern half of belt; none in western half. Indications are still for some rain coming in the west over Sunday. • » • Rainfall The New Orleans Tlmes- Democrat says: “After making full al lowance for the fact that cotton Is a dry weather plant and thrives on sun shine, the talent is forced to admit that drouth In parts of Oklahoma and Texas, accompanied by such fcigh tempera tures as those of yesterday, is injuring tne crop every day. However, most traders on the short side have learned not to accept damage reports at face value, and when, in the face of a fair forecast for the west, the barometer lines revealed low pressure of the Gulf of Mexico, the talent promptly exploited storm formation as a promise of rain and weather students on the floor helped by asserting that extremely hot weather in Oklahoma is simply a forerunner of rain and lower temperatures. Thus the market worked down after the bulge of Wednesday. “Meanwhile, Manchester is not send ing any encouraging reports though Liverpool managed to sell 10,000 bales on the spot yesterday. At this time any lack of evidence of trade activity is apt to tell on the raw cotton market, be cause Just now slack demand for the actual makes a poor showing when con trasted with the keen demand in evi dence during the past two years. “The market is very dull and very narrow; speculation has been reduced to a minimum and neither talent nor trade Is in a humor to display enterprise. In creasing spot sales at Galveston and Houston indicate that the new crop market is opening up.” • • • The market was sold off after the opening on unofficial reports of rain at Galveston. The early weather map shows no rain and weather experts could not see any In sight, which re sulted in an active wave of buying at the outset. • • • On the call. Flinn and Gifford bought August.

SEWS COTTON IIP Heavy Buying Based on Deterior ation Reports From West—Of ferings Extremely Light. 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 from Thurs day's final. New crops were tne strong est, August showing an advance of 15 points immediately after the opening. The open ill g quotation was 11.75 and the next figure was 11.86. 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 he some cotton for sale as sentiment continues very bearish. Later the market eased off sharply on reports of rain at Galveston and El Paso and less support was in evidence. Because the detailed weather map failed to show any rains over the west ern belt, and private reports of deteri orations in Arkansas and Oklahoma caused by the 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 bull 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 be governed accordingly ^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.—The hot ar.d 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 in the fall. However, there is no apprehension felt, as there still is ample time for this work with favorable weather conditions. That there is more attention beihg given to the preparations of the soil and se lection of seed Is indicated by the larger yields and better quality of winter 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 wheat to market, as the yield is so much larger than has been estimated and that most farmers are willing to part with at least a portion of their crop. c 4) a £ ra o rt *> V » > « o f O X J -1 O) O I 0.0 Ag 11.75 11.85 11.65111.7111 1.70-71 11.70-71 Sp 11.33 11.33 11.31 11.311 1.34-36111.24-26 Oc 1.1.1b 11.20 11.07 11.17111.1.7-18 11.07-08 Nv . . 11.11-13 11.00-02 Dc 11.13 11.17 11.0.T11.13 11.13-14 11.02-03 Jn 10.99 11.07 10.94 .11.04 11.03-04 10.92-93 Mh 11.11 11.15 11.04 11.10lU.U-12|U. 62-63 MS 11.14 11.16 11.08| 11.15 |ll. 16-16| 11.07-08 Marked Improvement CTRFFT UFCITIITFC Noted in Wool Traded ■ NlLI NLul I n I Ld PENDING REPORT BOSTON.

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 buyera are coming home. Prices here are un changed.

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 weather 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 weather prospects Trading is very quiet, waiting for weather developments in the western States over Sunday.

The forecast of the weather bureau up to to morrow evening shows no relief in sight for the corn crop. News of this nature, a» well as generally bullish feeling in the corn market brought further upturns of %to ftc at the opening this morning The strength In the corn market car ried wheat ft (0 ftc higher at the open ing. In spite of the generally bearish news 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 at concessions. Fine general rains were re ported in the Canadian Nor*2iwest. which are good for the filling 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 higher levels. Trading in provisions was rather light* early, hut 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 yarns.

Corn prices are so high that even many of the boldest operators are timid about iiig long except on sharp breaks; they are easily scared bv reports of rain. A Government report Is due to-day at 1:16 p. m. It is expected to lower the condition of corn 10 points or over from that of 86.9 last month. • • • Bartlett, Frazier & Co. say: “Wheat —The weather In the Northwest is partly cloudy with light scattered show ers.
