 New Orleans, Sept. is.-There having been no important change in weather conditions over night, the predicted storm having fail- ed to materialize. American markets ruled easier fin early hours despite the low level at which values have been ruling of late. Liverpool was not any too good. howevef. futures there closing at a decline of three | points, while spots were eEsieT, sales only ss,eoO, Middllng s.sS, four points down. Report gained currency that there was a tbetter demand for spot cotton Tn the South. Alabama, stating the interior to be about %c higher than last Saturday and that the Inquiry was from every quarter. In the local market more was doing in actual cotton and it was said that full prices were being paid Weather indications for tomorrow were altogether favorable, showers being the fore cast for all cotton states. and it was ticed that the third of series of cold waves had made its appearance in the Northwest. the temperature having fallen four to six degrees below freezing and it was assumed that cooler. if not colder weather would soon be experienced In the eetteu belt probably within day or two. The market soon steadied in these two counts, prices eventually advancing to a level somewhat higher than the close of yesterday.
 Except in the Mississippi valley where wire houses are in operation, this section being in instantaneous communication with all the leading markets of the world, there by informed of all developments of a mo ment. as well as receiving every change In the market, there appears tO be much complaint in the interior of Texas and in the South Atlantic States. farmers not knowing exactly where they stand. and as a rule. are at the mercy of the buyer who, by the nature of his business does not hesi- tate to going to the expense of being kept in touch with developments at the points. It has been pointed out that in sections where the agitation against trading In flu lures originated, in the South Atlantic States, the weakness in spots has been most pronounced. 90 much that the markets of Charleston and Savannah have been much lower than the New Orleans market.

COTTON MARKET SHOWS
 SOME IMPROVEMENT

The cotton market was a little bet ter yesterday. It would seem, from studying the Liverpool market, that there Is more of a tendency to ad- vance the price of cotton across the = sncy is probably due to the stringency
 the money market.
 The uses of cotton are increasing yearly and almost daily. For example # has been conservatively estimated that 100000 bales of cotton are con- sur1ed yearly in the manufacture of rubber tires, which industry Is com paratively young.
 This use of cotton Is only one of many new uses to which cotton is be- ing put, all of which goes to prove that cotton will be kind for many years
 Local markets opened yesterday morning about the same as Wednes- days market closed and held steady throu ghout the day. Tn a few in- stances some sellers were so fortunate as to obtain an advance, but they were the exception.
 Prices ranged from II 5-s to Ii 11-16 for spots on the street. Receipts are coming in slowly as yet, but are in creasing somewhat. They are very light for this time of the year.
 Some seasons 1t has been the case that the receipts for the month of Sep tenber were the heaviest of the year, but it is not possible that such can be the case this year on account of the lateness of the crop.

MARKET FOR COTTON

New York, Sept, 1s.--The cotton marke: was rather less active today and showed further irregularities with the close steady at 8 net advance of five to nine points Sales were estimated at about 2b0,000 bales.
 The opening was steady at decline of two to seven points. which was about In line with disappointing cables. There was some buying for a turn around the initial figures and shortly afterward ti.e market rallied to a net gain of three to four points one of the main factors apparently being a continuation of the demand for January here against sales in Liverpool This ad- vance was checked by a renewal of liquid ation and bear pressure. accompanying ru- mors that Southern yarns spinners were going to curtail their production owing to slack demand. hut after selling off to a net loss of seven points on the active months. the market rallied again appre- hensions of a gulf storm or a cold snap owing to the low temperatures reported in the northwest. The close was only two or three points off from the top. Several wires were received during the day claim ing that farmers in the Southwest were refusip~ to accept the lower prices offered for spot supplies.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Sept fs--The sources from which sprane the better speculative fssi- ing prevalent n the stock market today would be difficult to define accurately. The market was largely professional and the in- fiuences to which most attention was paid were such as are usually favorites with the professional class of operators on the floor. The personality of the brokers or firms which were executing the large orders in stocks their supposed affilisticns and ru- mors of possible financial projects that might lie back of the operations made up the stock In trade of those who claimed to explain the market The incident of an extended unavoided short interest in the Vaarlxet, which was made easy by the Ag- Eresiye sppearance of tho advance, un- doubtedly constituted important item in the explanation of the market
 Special movements in individual stocks from time to tme have given rise to suppo- siticns of developments favorns these prop critics Such was the recent movement in the Hill stocks which was accompanied by surmisss of readjustmant of control of Burlington which would be followed by an extra distribution of profits. Today Union Pacific held by the Hill stocks.
 The straightened condition of the money market for lohg time past has been a bar to any ventures Involving resort to credit. but the growing ease of money with the satisfaction of the special needs of the large syndicate transactions of last week removes this bar.
 There was some unsettlednsss in the early market.
 The statement of the intended policy on the part of the large copper producers giv- en out yesterday. while not a surprise, was disappointment in not offering any en- couragement for the more hopeful feeling over the outlook for a resumption of de- mand for metal. but hte resistance offer. ed by the general list of stocks to the in- fluence of the decline in metal stocks was made subject of favorable interpreta- tion over the condition of the market.
 The continued rise in New York City bonds and the continued advance in the Union Pacific convertible bonds gave tone to the bond market and was a helpful inslu- ence on v the whole market. Bonds we're firmer, total sales par value s2,l6s,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

CObura of Kansaa

LOS AnEeIes Timex,
 F. D. Coburn Is becoming a national character. He Is the SeeFatary of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, a menial position officially considered, but one found in this case to abound in opportunities as it already radiates great influence. month ago Coburn was being boomed for Governor of the state. The boom travelled like a ha- tive cyclone, and spread over the State like a cloud of grasshoppers. But Co., burn had not been consulted. He told
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-09-20

the people in his unmistakable Eng fish that he did not want the nomina tion, did not want to be Governor, would not have the nomination and would not serve if elected. Coburn Is one of the rare fellows who cannot be allured from his chosen work. He has been shown that more than half the people wish to give him the highest of flee within their power. and he realizes that he would sweep the State if he would only say the word. Honers and dutjes-he chooses the greatest honoF of all--duty.

LOCAL OPTION LAW ISSUE
Plans of Anti-SaIOOn League in
Indiana.
PROPOSITION IN EMBRYO.

indianapolis, Ind, March 25-The
next II months may witness a COM
plete change of policy on the part of
the Anti-Saloon League of Indiana,
which has been the most powerful fac
tor in the history Of the state in OBJ
tanning and enforcing stringent tenn
perance laws. 1t will not be surpris-
ing if, in the 1908 campaign, the
league presents a local option law is
sue SO forcibly that candidates for the
Legislature will be unable to dodge it.
In fact, one official of the organiza-
ton said that the ACCESSIBILITY of Civ
ing up the fight for county and city
remonstrance and of advocating the
enactment of county local option law
is now being seriously considered. No
definite plans have been worked out.
The entire proposition is in en-
bryo, and the suggestion of a switch
from the county and city remon-
STRANGE feature to local option may
not be adopted. 1t was declared, how
ever that the matter is receiving care
full consideration and that many act
i've members of the league are very
friendly to it.

VACCINE METHOD SUCCESS
Experiments as a Cure for Tu-
berCuIOSiS.
AT THE BOSTON HOSPITAL.

Boston, Mass, March 25.-The eX-
periments with vaccine incubation as
a remedy and cure for tuberculosis,
which have been made for some time
past by the professors of Tufts Medi-
cal school and the pathological depart
ment of the Massachusetts General
hospital, have reached a state to war
rant the belief that hope can be held
out to victims of the white plague.
The investigations have been conduct
ed with view of obtaining a vaccine
which will so strengthen the disease
resisting properties of the human
blood that death from tuberculosis in
any form shall be occasional instead
of common.
The work of the Tufts Medical
school is being conducted under DR..
Timothy Leary, professor of pathology
and bacteriology, and his assistant,
DR.. Leon l. Medalia. At the Massa-
chusetts General hospital the pathoIo-
gical department has the experiments
in charge, under direction of DR.. Jas
Homer Wright. What they have
achieved up to date has been so far
reaching in its effects and in the in
ferences which may be drawn from
the results that they decided to make
public announcement that through
vaccine the disease-resisting proper
ties of the blood can be strengthened
and cure for tuberculosis is possible
In line with their experiments the pro-
fessors state that cure was effect
ed in the case of Mrs. Curtis Guild, Jr,
wife of Governor Guild, through the
use of vaccine in strengthening the
blood at time when her life was
despaired of this winter, after compli-
cations set in following a surgical OPP
Grafton for appendicitis.
