Knoxville, September 8. = President Roosevelt braved the elements late this afternoon and in defiance of hard rain storm was driven through streets lined with people to a stand on Main avenue, nearly a mile from the depot, where he spoke to 12,000, who stood in quiet while a drenching rain poured down upon them.
 The presidential special arrived prompt ly at o'clock and was met by large reception committee, the Sixth regiment hand and a battalion of militia. After the President had stated that ne could stand the storm to see the people if the people could see him, carriages were taken, and preceded by the troops, the procession moved up the main street to the speakeg 8 stand, erected in front of the womans s building. All along the line of march the President stood with barred head. lowing to the cheering throng.
 Introduced by Congressman Henry r.. Gibson of this district as man wno com bined all the sterling traits or cnarac- ter of Andrew Johnson, Anurew Jackson and James Knox Polk, President Roose- welt spoke as follows.
 My Fellow Citizens and Countrymen: I shall detain you for but a short time. I wish to thank you for having come out in this weather. Somebody asked me when it was raining so hard whether I would come up here anyway. I told them i. guessed if you could stand it I could. (Ap- plause.) l want to say how 1 appreciate your having come out to see me, and l take it that your National guard are not fair weather soldiers.
 Ut has been an inspiration to come through East Tennessee today as I have. l am sorry for my sake that the rain should have come at this particular mo- ment. But you needed it and I am glad you have got it. (Applause) Yesterday 1 spent time getting over the battlefields of Chickamauga and Chattanooga, part ly within the boundries of your own state and partly within the boundaries of my mothers state of Georgia.

Maui Orieans Cotton Market.

While several shrewd operators in cot
ton futures insist that reaction is al
most Inevitable, the market still holds
remarkably steady at its recent advances
In the forenoon the undertone was re-
markably strong, and from an opening
that was about unchanged the market
gained 5 points before the noon hour.
shortly after the opening there was
momentary sag that sent May and July
about 2 points below the last figures OF
Yesterday. This, however, proved the
low mark of the session; slight reaction
followed and the market closed with net
losses of l to points compared with yes

C. w. Lee & Co.. Letter to II. D. Goth
ran & Co.
April 1.-THE market ruled much the
same today, strong but more quiet
Traders sold during the morning with a
decline in July to $3.50. Later in the
day the demand for cotton carried July
over 8 cents and the demand in the
South continued favorable to prices
Liverpool broke points but spots held
firm. There were rumors of insiders
selling abroad. Some long cotton came
on the market on larger receipts and
better weather with the prospects of a
good movement next week when figures
will compare with less than 100000 bales
a year ago. The amount in sight this
week has been $1,000 bales and though
some $4,000 bales less than last year the
visible supply decreased only 10000 bales
more. Comparing this season with two
years ago and the showing is even more
surprising. The amount in sight this
week was $500 bales, and the supply de-
creased 81, 900 bales, a total of 1884, 900
bales. Two years ago the amount in
sight was $1,000 and the supply decreas-
ed ISL, 900 or a total of 217000 a difference
of over $4,000 bales. The visible is now
S29, 900 bales more than two years ago. At
cents a pound and new crop influences
beginning to come into play, we cannot
advise the buying of cotton. We are not
believers in 100000 bales in the fall
! and did believe in higher prices for cot
ton. July may sell at 9Ac, 91ac or even
10c but it is not a business proposition
to buy for a possible gain with many
slips that may happen at any moment

crossed were hardly favorable to expecta-
lions of any further advance for the day.
Actual receipts at New Osleans proved
considerably above yesterdays estimate.
A clearance of 1900 bales was reported
from Sabine Pass and these influences
were also reflected in the New Orleans
and Liverpool markets. The present squirt
in movement must, we believe, be attrib-
uted to an increased demand for export,
which is bringing out every available bale
at the current prices. OF course 1t Is an
indication that it Is required Tor con-
sumption. Reactions, particularly after
the advance has been considerable and
has extended over a protracted period,
are always probable, and buyers on the
down turn are usually successful.
