Claim Structure Would Interfere
With Loading of Ships at
Jacksonville Docks.
JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 8.—New
difficulties confront the advocates of
a foot bridge between this city and
South Jacksonville, which is already
being bitterly fought by the Florida
East Coast Railroad and other inter
ests by the determination of the Sea
board Air Line Railroad to protest
against the erection of a bridge from
the foot of Ocean or Laura streets#
on the ground that it will interfere
with the loading of steamers at the
Seaboard docks.
Three or four steamers a week load
and unload at the docks and instruc
tions are said to have been given
to local officials of the Seaboard to
have representatives at the confer
ence, to be held here between Gov
ernment engineers and interested par
ties next Friday.
Difference of Opinion.
There is considerable difference of
opinion as to the advisability of
erecting a bridge at either of the
points named, each being east of the
Florida East Coast Railroad bridge.
Those favoring the project declare
that a bridge will be of little or no
service unless the Jacksonville ter
minus is located at the foot of one of
the downtown streets. There is a
ferry service between the two cities,
but it is regarded as inadequate.
Those opposing the erection of the
bridge, to which State Representa
tive St. Elmo W. Acosta has pledged
himself, declare that it will obstruct
the channel, which has been im
proved by the Government at great
expense. This opinion is said to be
concurred in by the Board of Port
Commissioners and Major J. R. Slat
tery, Government engineer here.
Advocates of the bridge project de
clare that 'a majority of the people of
both cities demand it and that the
railroads and ferry company are op
posing it for selfish reasons.

BOOSTS COTTON
Good News From Washington and
Strong Cables Send Values
Across 13-Cent Level.
NEW YORK Sept. 8.—As a result of
an announcement from Washington that
the Senate bill taxing cotton futures 50
cents a bale would not be effective for

bles than expected, commission houses
were overwhelmed with buying orders
over Sunday and the market to-duy
was up 24 to 44 points in consequence.
Weather an<j crop dispatches were prac
tically ignored in view of the news from
Washington. The feeling was that for
a time, at least, the market would he
governed as much by Washington news
as by crop conditions.
The census report, giving the number
of hales of cotton ginned to September
1 at 794,006, as compared with 730,935
last year and 771.297 hales for the same
time in 1911, had little or no effect end
fell flat on the market. After prices
had Increased their gain about 7 points
from the opening an active selling move
ment developed, which was believed to
represent profit-taking by longs. The
ring also sold. The late weather mao
showing good rains in Texas, with in
dications pointing to showery weather
over the larger part of the cotton belt
and cooler in the northern third of the
belt, was responsible for the selling.
Heavy buying by longs who liquidated
on the rumor that the tax on cotton
futures would become effective imme
diately should th*e amendment pass the
House. This, howeevr, was denied by
Washington officials, resulting In a gen
eral wave of buying. October was
pushed to 13.15; December, 13.12, and
January. 13.03. Brokers who usually
represent spot houses were among the
principal buyers and some of the most
conservative people are advising pur
chase of cotton at this level.
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net advance of 3’.* t«»

respect to'the change in date of the
Clarke measure, and came in about 12
points better than due. Spots ^kioints

The census report gives 794,000 hales
ginned to September 1, against 730,935
last ye&r. While the large Texas, Okla

the large ginnings in Alabama, Florida,
Georgia and oSuth Carolina are evident
ly the result of larger crops normally
matured.
Our markets continued very steady at
the advance. There was much liquida
tion last week, owing to the >ar that
the Clarke measure would become ef
fective imemdiately, but now that a
year’s respite has been grantee, the feel
ing is more hopeful and bullish Inter
ests were replaced in th market, causing
advances It Ir also thought that for
