Although prices ON the staple have not,
as yet been materially Affected, the
situation in cotton has quickly under
gone a decided change of late At the
time of the San Francisco disaster the
bulls were in almost complete control
of the market and bears were on the
run. Since then outside speculation, which
was more active than it had been for
some time, has died out, leaving big lines
of cotton in the hands of prominent oper-
ators who have grown rich by the prae-
tice of unloading on an unsuspeoting pub
lie. This time, they seem to have been
caught at their own game. The strong
support that the market has been re-
eeiving lately in New York was evil

interests in that market Manipulation has
been clearly In evidence there and we

came nervous and started to cover con-
tracts were plentifully supplied from some
mysterious source which was closed the

Thus far this week beneficial rains
have fallen in Alabama, Mississippi, Lou

His response to me last night Is to the effect that he has not had time to attend to this matter.
 He has had time to interfere In an ordinary police court case and to de. lay the legitimate work Of his own ojce that he might haul before the grand jury for the purpost s which are evident. a college boy who hap pened to be the son of the President O.: the United States.

 They are keeping close eye on the summit of Lookout Mountain, and many of them confidently expect that this is their last night on earth. It Is anti cipated that few. if any, of tn enegroes will venture to their work in the morn- ing, at least until after the hour set for the disaster.

Audiences.
 Rome, Oct. 23.-In consequence of a slight indisposition the Pope has been obliged to suspend his audiences. Even the date of his reception of Herr Von Tschirsky, German Secretary for For eign affairs has not been fixed.
 The Pontiff is suffering from a slight attack of gout and has been ordered to take a complete rest. His physicians believe he will soon recover.
 He complained only of pains in the knee, otherwise his general health Is satisfactory. At late hour tonight the pontiff fell Into a peaceful sleep. He is expected to be better tomorrow and he may grant audiences on Thurs day He expressed regret today that he would not be able to receive the English pilgrims now in Rome who had an appointment for Wednesday. The composition of the Clemenceau cabinet in France has produced a most unfavorable impression at the Vatican. The Pope is quoted as saying that the aaffirs of France cause him greater worry than any physical suffering.
