New Orleans Market.

New Orleans. July 8.-The market for
spot cotton was steady and without per-
ceptable change In ruling prices, though
some buyers incline to the opinion that
values just a shade easier. At least the
claim is advanced that few small lists
have been secured at moderate conces-
sions in favor of takers. Sales 100 in
Guiding 100 to arrive. Quotations I'M
changed. In futures but little business
transacted until the weekly government
crop report was read. Although the doc
ument was confessedly at least in the
trade of a. decidedly equivocal character,
the bears appeared to derive the greater
measure of comfort from 1t and a brief
era of brisk selling ensued. sending prices
down 8 to 8 points from the highest level
of the forenoon and leaving them stand

LYNCHBURG, VA. May 21.-Before

Glass was asked if he desired to say any
thing concerning the action of the State
Federation Of Labor, at Roanoke, in de-
claring against him as a candidate for
Congress. He said that he did not. but
remarked that he did not know whether
TO he more amused at the violence of the
attack upon him or amazed at its utter
lack of truth. "As an employer OF labor,
said Mr. Glass, II not only never had
trouble with any one, but none
whatsoever with any man engaged
in my service. not only never attempted
to prevent the organization OF union IN
Lvnchburg. but until very recently sup
posed there was a union. j not only never
demanded that my workmen should not
be memb bers of a union. but am III ahso-

are and some of them are not.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, May 21.-Ihe
twenty-frst annual convention of the
Southeastern Tariff Association, composed
of the leading insurance men of the
Southern States. began this afternoon, the
session opening in the pavilion of the
Chamberln Hotel at o'clock. There were
about two hundred delegates in attend
ance, many of them accompanied by their
wives and daughters.
The convention may adjourn tomorrow,
though the programme is for a session of
three days. The election of officers will
probably occur tomorrow afternoon.
1t is the belief of the insurance men
present that the convention will prove the
most interesting in the history Of the or
Sanizaton. as much important leglsla-
ton is to be transacted.
PRESIDENTS REPORT.
The convention was called TO order by
its president. Mr.. II. c. Stockdell. who
read his annual report, an interesting and
voluminouS document covering forty type
written pages. This report makes several
recommendations as to changes in the
tariff rates. refers to the Jacksonville
fire as the largest in the history of the
association, and contains most inter
csting reference to the situation in Vir-
giI1ia The report was referred to a COM
mittee of twenty-five. which will report
to the convention probably in the morn
ing when the most interesting session OF
the convention will be held.
SITUATION IN VIRGINIA.
President Stockdell used the following
language in regard to Virginia
1.-The anti-compact law, generally knoWn
as the Wharton law, was repealed by al
most unanimous action by both houses OF
the Virginia legislature during the ses-
sion recently closed. This restores the
Association to full authority again. for
the State has never been abandoned by
the Association, which still retains juris-
diction over commissions and policy forms
in that State It is an interesting fact
that tho repeal of this 'anti-conDact law
is the result almost entirely of the oppo-
sition to it on the part of the people
themselves.
