Secretary Cortelyou requested the

legal rights Of national banks In the
state OF Oklahoma to contribute to

themselves OF the other privileges Of

In the course Of an extended opin-
Ion, Attorney General Bonaparts
says: II s sa
The state of Oklahoma, to which

banking board composed Of certadn
designated state officers and requires
the said board TO levy against the
capital stock an assessment Of d
percent Of the banks daily average

each and every bank organized and
existing under the laws of this state.

the amount 81 their deposits, 80 as %
always maintain the fund at the des-
ignated amount.
1T is generally recognized that n
national bank has not the power to

party, unless ii connection with q

think this is a distinction without q
difference. #8t

COTTONLOST SIXTY
POINTS THURSDAY
BULLS BECAME ALARMED AND
BEGAN TO RELINQUISH
HOIDINGS-SHARP DE-
CLINE FOLLOWED
Spinners Are Not Buying, and There
is Little Demand Tor the Sta
Ple-Losses OF Bulls Es-
timated at $4,000.

Last Thursday witnessed an almost
unparalleled decline in cotton, the
market having lost sixty points in
| one day The decline was due 10 a
| combination of circumstances, faT-
orable weather reports having more
potently Influenced the tumblng of
prices than any other one thing
Needed rains have recently fallen in
various portions of the cotton belt,
and it is claimed that the crop viii
be a record breaker, some of the
estimates being as high as fifteen
million bales.
When such favorable weather re-
ports began to opur in bulls who were
long on the staple began 10 turn loose
their holdings, and prices dropped
with a thud. II seemed that the
steady stream of offerings would
never end. and it was only after sat
isfed short sellers turned for the
attractive profits offered by the de-
cline that reaction took place
Aside from the favorable weather
reports, lack of demand for cotton
is having its effect upon the market
Many of the mills throughout the
country are idle. and those IN opera
ton are well up with their orders
Spinners, therefore. show little Gag
erness TO buy, and the bears seem
to be, for the present at least, in
complete control of the market.
The decline Of Thursday, unless
there is a decided reaction az some
date in the near future, means a loss
of several million dollars to the far
mers of the country. a drop Of sixty
points means a decline of three dol
lars per bale, which on a fifteen mil
lion bale crop would rob the farmers
of forty-five million dollars. Il is
hoped, however. that with the revival
Of trade which the coming fall is
pretty sure TO witness, there viii be
a greater demand for cotton on the
part OF the spinners and that prices
will advance.
AS no quotations are received here
it is impossible TO give the local mar
ket accurately, but, taking Memphis
prices as a basis, middling in Colum-
bus should bring about 95s cents.

soldiers and Police Riot.

Atlanta, Aug. 19.-Late today pO-
lice reserves were called TO the term
inal station to quell riot that broke
out among two companies of United
States regulars en- route from Fort
Slocum TO the Pacific coast.
When the local police officers We're
unable to curb the soldiers, call was
made upon Ft. Mcpherson for troops,
and Col. Bankhead, with a company
of regulars, responded hurriedly.
The trouble started early in the
afternoon, when a number of the
soldiers en- route to the far East
broke out of their cars which were
on the side track at the terminal sta
ton, and, it is said, began annoying
passengers entering trains. Officer
Hill of the local police force knocked
two of the soldiers down and then
the trouble became general. Col.
Thompson of the Gulf department
was notified, and he resopnded, and
later Fort Mcpherson was called
upon. During the fighting a soldier
named Frank Smith was seriously
stabbed and is now in local hos
pital. Josen A. Bleak, another sol
dier, was placed under arrest.
At $50 the officers had the men
under control and under guard in
their cars. It is believed the guard
is sufficient to prevent any further
trouble.
