URGES FARMERS TO Go SLOWER.
President Harvie Jordan Warns Cotton Growers That They Are Selling
 Their Product Too Fast.

Atlanta, Nov. President Harvie Jordan of the Sonthern Cotton Association, today issued the following address:
 "The principal depressing factor in the cotton market at this time is the too rapid selling of the staple by farmers and merchants. All kinds of mis- leading and exaggerated reports regarding the congestion of cot ton at congresses and interior points are being wired all over Europe and this couutry for the purpose of depressing prices. IL cannot be denied that the move ment of the crop to market dur ing the past thirty days has beeu on too extensive scale to maiu- tain stable market at profitable and satisfactory prices to the growers.
 Big crop ideas have been ex. ploded by indisputable facts. This crop will not be large enough to supply the enormous demands of the cotton trade dur ing the next twelve months. The prices of cotton goods in all lines are weekly advancing. It is due entirely to the existence of a "Bearish" speculative market, strengthened by the too rapid selling of spot cotton which is forcing down prices below fair profitable basis. This unwarrsnt cd and illegitimate yiolati of the true laws of supply and de- rnand will continue until spot holders strengthen their position by a slower movement of the staple to market.
 "There is but one course to pursue at this time to bring about normal conditions. Store every bale of cotton under good and safe protection, which can be possibly held, either on the farm or in local warehouses. Hig her prices are sure to be realized if the crop IS marketed intelligently. The present price of cotton is too low Every farmer in the South should resist to the last ditch the present eitor. 10 hammer down the mar ket for purely speculative pur- poses. Every banker aud mer- chant in the South should exert their utmost to assist the farmers in fighting the "Bearish" specu- latives cotton trade.
 Leading farmers, merchants and bankers in all the different cotton growing counties through out the cotton belt should call the people together in public meetings al once in their respec- tive communities and iuaugurate an effective campaign tor tylng up the crop until prices are onee more placed on satisfactory basis, Act promptly and effect Ively. It is the wisest and safest step to take at this time. Stop the rapid movement of apo; cot ton and the speculative element will be powerless to depress the market y

OPINION AT ROME.
Belief That Worst Period of Crisis
is Passed.

ROME. July 2s.-The situation in Russia
is being keenly followed here The fact
that daughter OF NJ. Maurmetzefr pres,-
dent Of the lower house of the late Rus
sian parliament, lis in Italy, and the wife
OF Premier stolypin is a sister of Sergius
Sazanon, the Russian minister to the Vati-
can, adds to this interest
:, From official information received here
the opinion prevails that the worst period
OF the crisis is almost over The dissolu-
uon of parliament is said to have been
indispensable to break the deadlock which
was unayoidably leading. as Premier Witte
said last June, either to civil war or an
archy-perhaps both.
Premier Stolypin is spoken of here by
intimate friends as a model of honesty
loyalty and healthy liberalism, and as being
imbued with energy and moral courage
The idea is ridlculed that he favors the
re-estahlishment of complete autoeracy or
that he will not convoke another parlia-
ment; but, with past experience as his
teacher, 1t is conceded that he may desire
the election of new parliament that will
not be left entirely in the hands of the ex-
tremists. reaching this end by a modiaca-
ton of the electoral law.
