The Board of Regents Of the West

Morgantown this week, and will give
attention to the charges that have
been made against the management
OF the institution from time to time.
We hope that the regents will make
thorough investigation Of the Uni
versity's affairs and let the truth be
made known. We have no doubt
that there has been a great deal of
unfounded gossip concerning many
features of DR.. Raymond's administra-
ton, while at the same time there
have been statements made concern
ing his official actions that ought to
be explained. The people want the
truth and have right to know it.
We hope that the investigation by the
regents will be thorough and that they
may do their duty without prejudice,
fear or favor.

Fairchild S Hobson's Cotton Letter to H. D. Cothran & Go.
 New Orleans, September N.-Failure of frost to materiaize in the cotton belt caused disappointing set of English cables to be received this morning, futures at Liy- erpool closing to points down on near months and 1-64 to 3-6i up on distant del liveries Spots shared In the depression to
 the extent of 1-64d sales of 1000 bales.
 After opening at a loss of 6 points from
 last night. with December at 9.36, our mar-
 ket sold off to 9.30 for December on de-
 cliping English market. But on general buy ing on a rumor of a mortimer being pre- dicted for north Texas tonight, together
 with big buying at New York by a prom inent operator, prices here advanced to 9.45 for December. In the afternoon spot markets were reported easy, with little or no business doing, and this, annexed to the belief that the rumor for another cold spell tonight would also prove in the morning to have been another bug-bear caused the | market to sag, 1t finally closing at about the opening level, or about points lower than last night. News from the fields, es- pecially from Texas, since the recent heavy rains, is not so encouraging, worms being reported to be doing much damage, which is the general complaint from other States
 as well. The weak points of the situation are found in hurried shipments to the ports, where there is but very little demand for spot cotton, In consequence stocks are Ac- cumulating which Is not favorable feat
 ure At the moment 1t Is not matter of what the ultimate size of the crop will be, but who will take what we now have for sale at the current rate of values. No one has need for raw cotton but a spinner, and when he finds that the finished article Is selling at prices that will not f1stify> his paying an exhorbitAnt price for spot cotton, he refuses to enter the market, and will not do so until dry goods advance or spots decline in order to give him a fair, large margin to work in.

PRICE OF COTTON TOOK LOWER LEVEL Due to Pressure of Large Offer
 ings of Spot Cotton. LIQUIDATION WAS ACTIVE Traders Seem to be Depending Upon Bullish Leadership by the For
 elgners- Close Was to 30
 Points Net Lower
LIQUIDATION WAS ACTIVE

New York, September 27.-The cotton market was comparatively quiet and prices at the outset took lower leyel especially as to the immediate and nearby positions. This phase of the local situation was due to the pressure of large offerings of spot cotton by the south. They caused the Liver pool market to give way at time when some of the local traders are depending up on bullish leadership by the foreigners.
 The market here opened at dcline or D points for September, while the later posi- tions declined 5@10 points. Liquidation was active. The early weakness was increased by fairly favorable average to the crop news, and by renewed apprehensions re- garding the outcome of the situation in the far east. There was a disposition also 10 bear the market on evidences ot con- tlnued heavy movement of cotton with the southern markets for the spot article also tending to weakness.
 Speculation became very dull later in the session, but a movement to cover snort contracts caused a reaction of Il to R points. Sellers withdrew altogether or showed disposition to be conservative In view of the considerable decline In prices. The selling was quite general while 1t last ed. with Wall street and the south doing their full shart of it, while foreigners be- came buyers rather than sellers later In the session Wall street traders also bought ln the afternoon. Liquidation set in again near the close, and carried prices off again to the low point of the day. The market closed barely steady at a net loss or 10 30 points, the latter in September only.
