 New Orleans, Sept. is.--Operations with a view to regulating market differences. occasioned by the September revision n New York, were again entered intc. values suffering accordingly October selling = about one week ago whom the same position reached the high level of 12.ee The low est level of values today influenced m- vsstment buying on small scale ana " was observed that shorts were inclined 70 realise profits by buying to cover fn c small way.
 as the interior was concerned. sensFhly clear and cool, but unsettled weather was noted along the Gulf coast and along the South Atlantic seRboard. hght to heavy rains being noted from Corpus Christ tq Savannah. and t was officially s.sseS ss,n sn@s It Is probable that the little buying tnat made it's appearance ct the decline was due to a possible disturbance in the Gulf In the near future as coming events generally this feature served to check the seliins movement. traders fearing winds of . high velocity or general rains. especially in the South Atlantic states where the crop lS fore exposed to the clements.
 Reports of a short crop In Texas. 20 to 30 per cent. less than last year. accoroins to the location continue to come in. the Mississippi valley and Alabama are expect ed to lose a half million bales, compared with last years production and IS thought the South Atlantics will do but It. tie better than one year ago, not as well in event of an early frost.
 The market has and Is still being sold, not because assurances of a large crop, as such prospects do not exist. but principally because of the price being hiRh and the conviction, based upon experience In other years that chances are in fevor of prices declining at opening of a season owing to the weight of the movement. Surely the receipts thus far have not been heavy, not withstanding the large run of arrivals at Savannah, at ali ports for the week about 900O0 vs. l86,00 last year and slt'0Oo year before last, of which New Orleans deceived 4,4OO vs. 1T.7o0 last year. Calves ton s2,70o vs. 7s.soo; Savannah tl'ooo Vs. 33,000.
 For the month of September. we dare say that the amount marketed will hardly equal sOO,O00 and will compare with last years small September movement of ses'- GOO and i,335, 900 year before Under the circumstances it would seem that prices could be maintained if the interior refused to meet the decline as there is no giut on the market at any point.
 The weeks insight points to about lbas- 900, last year 190o0o.

T know something of the evils of whisky. and will vote the prohibition ticket. The red demon is responsible for my present position. Never again will I sell glass of liquor over counter. Nothing ever gave me more pleasure than to sign the petition call- ing for a prohibition election"
 Thus spoke Dick Wray, in the county jail Friday morning. He was sur rounded by a large number of men. whose endorsement of what Wray said seemed to imply, too, that they knew the evils of whisky. In q large meas ure they attributed their presence in jail to rum.
 Tn speaking of signing the petition, and of his intention to vote the pro- hibition ticket in the event he is per- mitted to go to the polls in the custody of an officer. Wray said he was glad he was out of the saloon business. The man convicted of crime of which he says he Is absolutely innocent, de- clared some time 1t takes great calamity to awaken some people and show them what is best in life.
 i q have had my awakening" said wray, "and it was bitter one. While I had no more to do with the death of Freeman than the most innocent babe In the world. the state succeeded in making a jury of twelve of my coun- trymen believe me guilty. and they said I. should be punished for eight years. I am ever forced to work one day of that sentence, would just as soon the sentence be for life. The stigma will be there. and 1t goes very hard to even think of being punished for a crime one never committed"
 Wrhy has kept his poll taxes paid up every year, and is a qualified elector' Tn inc event Sheriff Higdon permits It., he will register his vote against some- thing that he thinks was indirectly responsible for his present perdicament When he gets out, Wray says he pro- poses to embark in the millinery busi- nesR
