BANKS EAGER FOR
GOVERNMENT ISSUES

NEW YORK, Nov 22.-(SpeciaD-
Bankers in this city are making ac-
tive preparations to subscribe for
the S50,000,000 Panama 2 per cent
bonds and for the $100,000,000 of 3
per cent government loan certif1ca7
ties. No syndicate was organized to
take the Panama bonds, but the ban
kers were certain that the issue would
be over-subscribed. A syndicate was
organized to take $25,000,000 of the
100000 900 loan certificates, and
after an announcement from Washing
ton, that the loan certificates, like
the Panamas, would be accepted, as
security for bank note circulation, 1t
was everywhere considered certain
that this issue also would be largely
over-subscribed and that there might
be no necessity for syndicate ac-
ton.
The announcement that the Treas
ury Department would accept the loan
certificates on deposit to secure cir
culation removed whatever doubt
may have remained as to the sue
cess of this flotation. Even in nor
NAL times this is the season Of the
year when circulation is desired
more than in any other, principally
owing to the demand for money for
crop-moving purposes. In these abb
normal times bankers are much more
anxious, of course, to secure the adj
ditional circulation, and the oppor-
tunity afforded by the Panama bonds
and the loan certificates to take out
$1,000, 900 new national bank notes
without seriously disturbing existing
reserves is one that, bankers agreed,
will be eagerly grasped.
Bankers expect that the most
important results, so far as release
of boarded money is concerned, will
accrue from banks in small cities and
villages in the interior. A very large
number of these institutions, having
no clearing houses in their respective
localities, have built up reserves to a
very high point. In many instances
the reserves are in excess of so per
cent. 1t is considered certain, pow
that the Treasury Department has
taken it's important action that these
interior banks will reduce their res
erves to a normal point, and will re-
turn balances to financial centers III
their various localities.

COTTON LOST PART
OF PREVIOUS GAIN
Local Trading Limited By
FirmnoSS of Holders.

Cotton contracts lost yesterday
about half of the gains of the previous
day. The shorts were not so excited
as on the day before, and were MAX
ing efforts to hammer the market.
Mr.. Price was of course, the leader
in the movement, but his partial sue
cess was due rather to the too hasty
rise of the day before than to any
change in the statistical position. A
private estimate was issued during
the morning, giving the crop as 49,
100000 bales. A guess at the figures
of Secretary Hester, Of the New Or
leans Exchange, placed his estimate
below 11,500,000 bales for the crop.
Though values reached the level of
the close for Thursday, realizing and
a little short selling caused the
market to ease off again.
The opening was at small losses,
due to poor response from Liver
pool to the gains of Thursday. The
close was at the lowest for the ses-
sion.
New York opened to points off.
but soon made good the early losses.
AS prices reached the closing fig
ures for the day before selling was
heavy enough to depress values. The
close was steady to IA points net
lower for the session. Spot prices
were marked up 10 points New Or
leans opened 2 to points lower, but
after little squirt, turned to lower
levels. The close was easy, 16
points lower for all active positions.
Spot quotations were unchanged.
Liverpool opened IL point up
for near positions and to IL points
up on later options, being due some
10 points higher. The close was
quiet, 2 IL points net higher for
neary positions and 4 IL to s
higher for others. Spot prices were
advanced points with sales of 1000
bales.
The receipts at all ports were &c.
600 bales.
Offerings were very light in the
local spot market. A limited amount
of cotton was sold on the basis of
10 5-S cents for good middling The
demand at this price was heavy, but
holders of cotton were looking for
considerably better prices. Quotations
are advanced 1-8 of a cent. The re-
ceipts by wagon were so bales.

DRAINAGE CONGRESS
HAS BIG PLANS
To Reclaim Vast Tracts
for Farms.

BALTIMORE, MD, Nov. 22.--
(SpeciaD-The National Drainage
congress, which meets here Nov. 20
q will be one of the most important,
of the year 1t will discuss the best
methods of retaining eighty mill
lions of acres of swamp land In many
States. Florida, with her everglad-
es, takes rank among the first OF
the states having a large swamp area
These lands, exceeding in extent in
the United States the whole of Great
Britain, are not only absolutely value
less, but are menace to the public
health, being the breeding place of
mosquitoes and malaria. If these
lands were drained and subdivided
into 40-acre farms, it is claimed, they
would afford homes for 100000 far
mers, independent of the urban pop
ulation which would inevitably follow.
The crop values of these lands, at $25
per acre, would be $2,000,000,000 an
nually. The expenditures of the
farmers, with average families of five
it is estimated, would be about ST.
200,000,000 annually.
The purpose of the congress is to
draft a bill for submission to the
national Congress that will be accep-
table to all sections of the United
States, and to decide on plans for its
energetic advocacy. To make the law
effective it will be necessary to Sc
cure from Congress an appropriation
of about $2,000,000, which would be
in the nature of a loan, to be repaid
the Government from the sale of the
Il. VII
started by such loan. 1t is estimat-
ed that the average cost of draining
the swamps will be about SO an acre.
The cost of irrigation is about S28 an
acre.

CLARK & co.'s COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The COM
bined effort of the powerful local
bear clique to hammer values in
Liverpool this morning influenced the
foreign market to such an extent she
failed to make a full response to our
advance of yesterday. Little or no
attention was paid here to Liverpool,
and a sustained demand for con-
tracts here, which has now become
worldwide gave up a steady session.
The more one studies the ginners' re-
port by states, the more bullish the
figures appear. Texas which last
year produced 100000 bales, has
ginned to date only 100000 bales.
The shortage there is most pronoun-
ced. Many of the bull clique here are
freely Offering to wager the crop will
not reach II ,500,0 900 bales but eXper-
fence great difficulty in placing their
wagers. The world has at last awab@
ened to the fact that this years yield
will fall short of actual requirements
and this is the whole story. Planters
have sold enough cotton to make them
absolutely dependent in their hold
ings, while banks all over the South
have agreed to lend as high as ten
cents on cotton. Again we repeat.
this is not market to sell.

LIMIT REACHED IN
RAILROAD BATTING
Gov. Corners Baggage Bill
is SheIv6d.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Nov. 22.-
(SpeciaD -"The time has come for us
to quit messing with the railroads.
The limit has to be reached some
time and with me it is reached now
Let's allow the railroads to help man
age their own affairs enough for
them to check baggage over their own
lines"
So declared Senator Barbour in the
Senate yesterday, discussing the Gov
ernor's excess baggage bill. And
the Senate agreed with him, for,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
measure had it's own place in Cover
nor Corners railroad code, the Senate
indefinitely postponed the bill and all
pending amendments.
1t was the first of the Governors
railroad bills to be defeated at the
extra session.
The drummers' organizations of
the State were also behind the.
measure and it is understood that they
had two or three representatives in
Montgomery during the extra session
working for the bill, which passed the
House with comparative ease.
Kicked Over Traces
The declaration of Senator Bar
bour was of special significance, be-
cause he has heretofore acted with
the majority of the Senate in sup
porting all the Governors measures.
Il have consistently held that the
railroads should be regulated" said
Senator Barbour. 81 have voted for
the railroad bills and voted con-
scientiously, but there is a limit to
all things. There is even limit to
railroad regulation. Even it can be
carried too far.
Practically the same view was taken
of the measure by Senator Hinson
of Lowndes who has supported the
bills regulating the roads.
Bill Dangerous
"The bill is not only unjust and
unfair, but it is dangerous" said
Senator Hinson. 1T not only offers a
man a chance to be dishonest, but it
actually affords him a temptation to
be dishonest Under this bill man
can buy a stock Of dry goods, put it
into trunks buy ticket and ship
those trunks as excess baggage at q.
lower rate than the statutory rate
81 never heard of the proposition
during the campaign. 1t was not dis
cussed, nothing was said about it in
the papers. While / have supported
the regulation measures, ! draw the
line at this bill"
