New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, May S.-Cotton spots firm with prices unchanged. Middling, 1Ossc Sales, $50 bales on spot and $50 to arrive.
 Futures opened easy, 12 to 14 points below the close yesterday, being af- fected adversely by disappointing ca bles and by the indications of general ly fair and warmer weather for the entire cotton belt.
 Liverpool cables showed that while spot sales in the English market con- tinued heavy, futures were points lower. Coupled with the bearish fea- ture was the weather report, which stated that frost had failed to ma terialize, with the exception of one point in Oklahoma. The decline started at the very opening, and a slight im- provement which was noted around the noon hour proved to be of tenn porary nature Lack of support and the absence of the manipulative tac tics which helped keep the market up during the last few days augmented the decline during the late session, and at the close which was steady. the ac- tive months were 26 to 31 points be- low the close yesterday.

There was no scarcity of promises made Talladega for the opening of the way into this wonderful country; there had scarcely been a moment for years and years in the past that some one was one of them had gotten beyond mere talk and Talladega had given up in despai-. They finally decided to give it just one more chance, and Talladega took off her coat and went to work, and Roanoke, Lineyille and Ashland joined hands, too, and In all the way that the road ..as come from Brunswick to Birmingham and Atlanta, no community gave greater as- sstaHce or more encouragement than these four Alabama cities and towns.

Present Condition of Roads.
 ''We are all aware of the present con- ditons of the railroads of the country. Without going into the past I will mere ly call attention to one or two facts. Railroads are absolutely a necessary and a vital part of our commercial life. It is not putting it too strongly to say that they are as important as the blood circu- latng through the human body. Life cannot exist in the commerce of the coun- try without them. A rough estimate in- dicates that the railroads of the country either directly or indirectly, purchase 60 per cent of everything produced Ana lyze this and see what it means. The minute that the credit of the railroads is affected so that they cannot keep up and improve their properties, 60 per cent of the business of the country is largely destroyed. When the railroads cannot buy, men are thrown out of employ ment, sawmils stop, mines close, car works close, steel companies close and so on.
