SOUTHERN COTTON GROWERS.
Report Scandal, Crop Outlook and
Spinners Combine Discussed.

Asheville, n. c., Sept. 6.-The an
nual convention of the Southern Cot
ton Growers association met here to-
day for a weeks session. 1t had
originally been set for August 16, but
was postponed owing to the fact that
at that time the members of the asso-
citation were too busy with their cot
ton crops to attend the convention,
important as it might be.
At the opening session today the
question of cotton reports was the
principal subject of discussion. Many
important matters will come up for
consideration before the convention,
including the cotton report scandal in
Washington. the crop outlook in the
cotton belt, the question of regulating
the cotton prices and the action of the
spinners who are holding out for the
purpose of depressing the market.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-Renectlng lower prices
at Liverpool. the market here was easy at the
opening. May started Sc to Nc OF at 81 1915
to 81 16E. The decline abroad was said to be
due to Increased shipments from Australia
At the start there was considerable scattered
selling commission houses and pit traders be-
ing prominent that side of the market
The slight decline, however, brought out a
fair demand from shorts. In consequence there
was soon frmer undertone, May advancing 10
81 16. Receipts in the Northwest to-day were
quite small, and the news OF the cash situa-
tion at Minneapolis was rather Dullish A re
vised estimate made by an English crop expert
regarding the exportabe surplus of wheat from
Argentina and Australia materially reduced
former figures This gave some anxiety to
shorts and resulted IN additional covering.
Trading, however. was comparatively light
throughout the entire session, The market
closed firm. with May at 81 15X.
Selling by cash houses and scalpers caused
q rather weak corn market. May opened nm
