GOVERNORS BUSY DAY
Notes of Interest from the Capitol and
Library,

Governor Montague had a very busy
day yesterday. He did not dispose of
any matters of sweeping moment but
he received great many callers and
considered some subjects of more or less
moment TO the people One Of them was
the Starke case, the decision in which
His Excellency will probably give out
in a few days.
He granted several pardons and gave
some consideration to the Corporation
Commission. the appointments for which
he will announce when the Legislature
meets. There is still much talk Of
Mcssrs. Phlegar, Fairfax and Edmunds
and it is believed that these three dis
tinguished gentlemen will constitute the
commission. but so far no one knows
what the Governor will do in the matter.
Governor Montague yesterday exercised
Executive clemency in the case of John
Harris who was at the February term,
1902 of the County Court of Smyth. tried
and convicted of misdemeanor and SEN
fenced to a term of twelve months in
the county Jail In granting the above
pardon the Governor assigns as his rea-
sons the following:
The man is i'll with typhoid fever, and
it is thought dangerous to the other In
mates of the jail that he should be re-
tanned there, tliC AHduCos
of the Judge and the Commonwealth
Attorney. the prisoner is relieved of the
residue of his sentence"
Mr.. Charles l. Stensle. one of the edit
ors of the Fredericksburg Free Lance,
was in the city yesterday, and called
upon His Excelcncy, Governor A. j.
Monta que. In the latter's office at the
Capitol Mr.. Stengle bore to Governor
Montague an official invitation for His
EXcellency and lady to attend the Rap
pahannock Fair at Fredericksburg from
September sd to September 18th. Cow
ernor Montague accepted the invitation,
and will attend on next Thursday in
company with Mrs. Montague.
The Governor yesterday removed the
political disabilities of Charles Jackson,
who at the October term 1882 of the
County Court of Pulaski was tried and
convicted of murder in the second de-
gree and sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary. Jackson was pardoned con-
ditionally by Governor Tyler October 81,

The Morning News Office,
Wednesday, Sept. 3.
The feature of to-day's cotton mar
rets was the announcement of the con-
dition OF the cotton crop on Aug. 26,
as fixed by the statistician of the Ag-
ricultural Department at ga, as
against S1.9 July rs, ia Aug. "a, 1901;
So Sept. L, 1900, and a ten-year av-
erage of 1877. The full report appears
in another column of to-day's Morn
ing News.
As the governments probable eesti-
mate of the condition has for several
days been the topic of interest among
the trade, all gathered at the Cotton
Exchange promptly at noon to-day to
hear the estimates. Expectations were
fully' justified in the pronounced bull
ish effect the report had upon the mar
ket. New York closed $1,000 points
higher, with good buying from all
sources. Difference of opinion exists
among the trade as to the future
course of prices. Some say the adj
vance cannot be maintained, and that
the report is an exaggeration. Others
attach credit to the report and look
for higher prices. Spot markets were

New Orleans, Sept. 3.-Early Liver

opened 11@1S points higher, in antici-
patton of very bad monthly bureau
to-day Subsequently, however, many
sold to realize, occasioning a break
of 405 points from the top. About
this time considerable nervousness was
exhibited, until the issuance of the
bureau, which was so sensationally
bullish that for a moment operators
were dumbfounded. A reaction imme-
diately set in, and prices were quickly
advanced 1924 from the bottom. At
the highest level the taking of profits
occassioned easiness, which was of
only temporary duration, as fresh buy
ing caused Steadiness, making the net
gain IT points on September, and ESQ
28 on the other months. The bureau
makes the general average conditions
Ga per cent, and compared to ia per
cent. last year, a drop of IA points
under last year, or 10 per cent. less.
If this same ratio were to continue
during September, it would indicate,
according to the bureau, an out-turn
of only $3.50, 900 bales. This is natural
ly a ensationally bullish report, and
the trade cannot accept these figures
on their face. Nevertheless, it IS
argued that making due allowance for
exaggeration, the present outlook
seems to be unfavorable. Consequent
ly, as the world believes that the con-
sumption of American this year will
be II ,000, 900 or over, the chances are
that spinners may become frightened
with the bullish sentiment prevalent
and another bull season may be on the
cords. Therefore, summing up the sit
uation, it looks, for the moment, as
if cotton is a purchase on all periods.
