 Agents Convention.
YELLOW DRAGON OF CHINA

Asheville. N. O.. October 15.-The Yel- low Dragon of China floated over Ashe- ville's Battery Park Hotel this afternoon in honor of Wu Ting-F the Chinese minister, who Is the special guest of the Southern Railway at the forty-sixth an- nual convention of the American Associa- tion of Passenger and Ticket Agents.
 Minister Wu accompanied by the inter- preter of the Chinese legation, MT. Chang, arrived from Washington at 80 in pri- vate car under the special escort of Col. l.. s. Brown, general agent of the South ern Railway. A special committee repre- senting the citizens of Asheville, consist ing of former Congressman Thomas Set tie and General Powell, met Minister Wu at the station and escorted him to the hotel where MT. Settle presented to Min ister Wu an immense key to the city, beautifully entwined with yellow silk of China.
 In response to the presentation the min ister made a graceful speech.
 Convention Opens.
 Shortly after o'clock the convention of general passenger and ticket agents was opened formally at the Battery Park Hotel. MT. Settle, representing the May or of Asheville, delivered the address of welcome to which H. s. Townsend, gem eral passenger agent of the Missouri Pa cific president of the association, re- sponded. The convention then adjourned for the day to take a trolley ride to Overlook Park, at the summit of Sunset Mountain
 At the conclusion of the Family Din ner" tonight, J. Francis, general passen- ger agent of the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad, delivered the annual ora tion to the association and its guests.
 Southern Railway Is Host.
 For the first time in the history of the organization a single railroad was called upon to entertain it in it's annual session. Heretofore the conventions have been held in large cities where several rail- roads have joined in taking care of the convention and it's delegates, but at this forty-sixth session the Southern Railway alone Is the host. For weeks General Passenger Agent s. H. Hardwick had been arranging the details of the conven- tion and the entertainment of the guests, and he and his corps of assistants have left nothing undone that would contribute to the comfort and pleasure of the South ern's guests
 Between four and five hundred. men identified with the passenger depart ments of the great roads of the country, many of them accompanied by their wives, are in attendance upon the con- vention. It Is the largest convention in the history of the association. The for nal business meeting will begin tomor- row morning at 10 o'clock.

Murphy & Co.'S Stock Letter.

New York, October 15-Stocks opened with a demonstration against shorts in which the stocks selected as the most likely to influence sentiment by their ad- vance were St. Paul. New York Central and Metropolitan. The advance in the last named was particularly spectacular, an extreme gain being recorded of 21a from the opening. The other stocks re- ferred to did not quite reach the limit of 2 per cent rise except in Pennsyl- vania where, however, the improvement was quickly lost. The buying of Pennsyl- vania was not explained by anything ex- cept the rumor of a large car movement on the system. Some gossip connected the movements with the recent pool op- erations in Norfolk and Western. In the evening evidence was furnished by the course of the market that under cover of strength of early leaders stock had been marketed in different directions. South ern Pacific opened with large transac- tions but it's maximum gain was only Bc and it later lost over a point. In the afternoon St. Poul sold off per cent from the highest and there were some sharp declines in the rest of the railway list.
 The industrials were comparatively well held in the early dealings American Cotton oil was marked per cent up but afterwards declined per cent, and the fact was disclosed that the Butte and Boston Company had made material reduction today in its dividend rate Sugar declined over ? per cent after the early strength. Glucose stocks broke T for common and for preferred. Selling was credited to apprehension of the se- verity of new threatened competition of shady side refinery. The general mar lxet closed weak under an increased sell ing pressure throughout
 Government bonds unchanged; railroad bonds steady.

do not see how 1t is possible to raise big crop after this seasons weather. There Is no surplus cotton on hand, and if the crop had turned out under 10,250000 bales, prices are too low at even sl4 cents. The low temperatures promise to con tinue. and we do not look for a bad break. If the market closes lower than yesterday Liverpool Is likely to decline in the morning, when cotton here can be picked up on break on the opening. Cotton seems to be a purchase on all weak spots and we do not see anything in the outlook to change this view. Should killing frost occur before October 20 Liverpool would have difficulty in get ting the necessary cotton at present prices It is a bull market, though a low one. We would buy on breaks from this point.

MARKET
 SAGGING LOWER Not Revived by BuIllsh Reports and Light Receipts EARL FROST HAS NO EFFECT Market cIoses Steady With Prices From to 10 Points Net Lower.
 Liquidation Kills All
 Advances.
EARL LYFROST HAS NO EFFECT

New York, October 15.-The market for cotton futures opened easy with prices 1 to points lower under selling by local and outside longs started by very disap- pointing cables from the English market and failure of Europe to buy near months as expected. Heavy port and interior re- ceipts helped to discourage holders for the time being. But before the first hour elapsed frost reports began to come in from nearly every state belt, most of them being of government origin. Then came light estimates for tomorrow's New Orleans and Houston receipts and a very bullish weekly government report made up at New Orleans, showing short yield as general thing with no chance of a top crop to speak of.
 On this news the market became firm and advanced very rapidly, January reaching S20 on the wave of general buying. The late months followed though less extensively. Later liquida- ton set in and selling by the South for hedging purposes (against holdings of spot cotton) caused a reaction which gained in speed as the afternoon wore
 
 of the day were reached with the market at the close steady and to Il points lower The appearance of a cold wave of great intensity in the Northwest had but little effect as a bull factor.

Cotton Letter.

Lees Letter to H. D. Cothran & Co.
 New York, October 1b.-Profit taking this morning proved to be the feature
 From the opening there seemed to be a general desire to sell on the part of those who had a considerable profit and the offerings of this cotton carried prices down to S.11 for January as compared with S.23 yesterday. After this cotton had been sold Southern buying and lit- tie commission house buying carried January up to s.20 sharply. During the day the tone ruled firm, though operators were rather uncertain about the immedi- ate course of prices. On the theory that news is as bad as can be, many sold cot ton looking for a reaction The reports concerning frost were so conflicting and while many places reported from 35 to 40 degrees 1t is a question whether these temperatures actually kill the plant and stop growth. At least the growing. is checked at this point and the situation is unfavorahle for maturing the plant. We

The Coffee Market.

New York, October 15.-The market for coffee futures opened steady in tone at a decline of five to ten points under room selling, profit taking and bear hammer ing, prompted by private reports from Rio saying that the crop at that point would be five million bags and that prospects were favorable. This information had it's effect in European markets also, Ham, burg closing A@h pfg lower, while Havre dropped A pfg after opening A@5s pig higher; later it advanced on renewed spe- cial speculative buying only to ease off again and closed A pfg higher to A pig lower. The D. m.
