 NEW ORLEANS, Aug lo.--The bullish ten- dencys of Liverpool was again displayed today t'rivate cables advise that the chances are in favor of further improvement and that Russia was buying freely. The differences on Winter options between the English and American markets begin to present the appearance of a profit to exporters which may prove a factor In operating against any further tendency to widen. Manchester developed little change during the week reporting a poor turn over although inquiries from buyers were more nu- merous. The tendency of Liverpool created a nervous feeling among tinnid shorts and cov- ering from that contingency was responsible for the steady tone at our opening and the advance recorded during the early hours of the session with this demand satisfied an easier feeling was in order and prices sagged some or 6 points. Final figures are about 5Gl2 points above Saturdays close. No features worth especial mention were noticeable throughout the day. A special from Fall River says the shut-down of mills this week viii not be more extensive than last and that the official quarterly statement showed fn- provement in earnings with slight Increase paid to stockholders over last quarter Sup posed to represent the sale of manufactured goods from cotton bought at lower figures than ruling today. The visible supply figures after ahis week will run against large receipts last year and with the comparatively small receipts this year operate against even de- cidediy beartsh weekend figures with the de- creased takings. Weather and crop reports as whole continue good A few complaints of too much rain. causing grass. shedding and rust came to hand. but damage Of conse- quence was reported.

 NEW YORK Aug io.-Somewhere around s.oo for December appears to be the bottom on any decline. Some time ago December al- ways broke to Sh before it rallied, then for A While It never quite. touched sh cents, only a lew weeks ago sDecember would break to g SO or e.5e and then advance again Two weeks ago today e6o was bottom and since then that option has not sold below e.6l. In other words notwithstanding all adverse influences of which there are many, the market does not break. There was no particular reason for any great advance this morning. particular reason Wny with the beautiful rains nearly all over the cotton belt and fine growing weather there should not have been decline 1t is sufficient to record the fact that the market was decidedly steadier. At times 1t .did . not appear to want to go down and resisted any efforts in that direction. There Is a warning to short sellers in today's market There is very little indteement for any one to 20 short of distant positions at such discount at best unattractive, the position may be for the buy CT. We have got to get through with August before we can know very much about the cron and 1t would not be surprising to find the market ffuctuating within 30 to 40 points throughout the whole month Of course if we are going to raisce | 500, 900 or l2 0oo GOO bales of cotton. 1t cannot all be marketed at 9A to 10 cents this Fall At the present time there is enough uncertainty over this to induce buying by the spinners at all times and for this reason any decline in prices must be comparatively slow. We would continue to buy On any god breaks and believe reactions and rallies of sixeable kinds will let buyers out at substantial profits

Lawton Moon of Atlanta, j. r. Camp

solved, that legal provisions should be
made in this country for the appoint
ment of tribunals of arbitration to set
tie strikes and lockouts, such tribu-
nails to have power, when negotiations
between employers and employees have
failed to assume jurisdiction and to

Phi Gamma had the negative of the
question and the Few the affirmative
The young men made remarkably able

were passed upon the debate, and the
general opinion was that the Emory

along this line during the past year.
The decision was rendered in favor of
