But as soon as local bears saw that hedge selling and selling against purchases in Liverpool was in suffi- clsnt volume to supply immediate demands. neferinRs increased and the market weak erAd reaching the lowest point during the one of the leading English stattsticians had estimated the crop at s,550,000 bales.
 The close was at practically the low level of the day The difference between Iiverpooi and New York at the opening of the latter's market this morning was 4he smallest for the season and good part of the selling was supposed to reflect pndoing of old Btraddlee.
 sSouthern spot markets. as officially re- ported early were unchanged to 1-16c lower wan Street bulls were much less in eyt- dsnce today. but still professed confidence tu ultimately higher prices. Receipts con- tfuue heavy and there has probably been some selling in expectation that the next census report will make bearish showing.

SELMA CITY COUNCIL
POSTPONED SESSION TO BE HELD
 TONIGHT.
The Question of Repairing The City Wharf VIII Re One Of The Questions To Be Con-
 Mfdered. fA

Selma. Nov, II--(Speciai) )-The postponed session of the city council will be held at the city hall tomorrow night. This meeting was to have been held last Monday night but on account of a quorum not being present. 1t was continued until Thursday night
 Before the meeting tomorrow night. there will come up the question of re- pairing the city wharf It was stated today that number of the council would introduce such a resolution and If passed would call for the expendi- ture of several hundred dollars upon the wharf.
 The city wharf is in a bad condition and has been so for some time. It is badly in need of repairs and 1t is be- lieved that by expo nding few hum Ared dollars. the city could put 1t in good condition. Whether the resolu- tion to fix up the city wharf will be carried is uncertain.
 Some of the members of the sccun- Gil are in favor of granting the Bir- mingham, Gulf Railway and Navigat- ing Company. the use of the city lot on the river front at the foot of Franklin Street for a great many years The boat company wants a perpetual franchise and if such Is granted or satisfactory arrangements can be made they will build ware house and wharf
 The settlement of this matter be- tween the Birmingham. Gulf Railway and Navigating Company has been temporarily delayed. While 1t is still thought that the matter can be ad- justed there are members of the eoun- ciI who will be unwilling for the city to fix up the present wharf until the question has been finally settled Considerable other business will prob pably be disposed of at the meeting to- morrow night @ :.
