New Orleans, Nov. S.-Cotton took
another tumble today and prices went
down TO levels which meant So less
per bale than when the high water
mark was reached about a week ago.
Following the receipt of the census
bureaus report on the amount of cot
ton ginned up TO Nov. 1, the local cot
ton future market opened 2S to SO
points down. Selling was heavy for
both accounts. The March option
went to 14.16, while May went to 14.2S.
This meant the March option was 124
points below the high point or last
week.
A recovery ranging from Is to p
points was later brought about as a
result of proft-taking by shorts Az

Toronto, Nov. 8.-The American
Federation of Labor intends to stand
by President Gompers, Vice-President
Mitchell and Secretary Morrison in
the fight to evade jail sentences for
contempt of court This is indicated
by the attitude of the delegates at
tending the convention.
1t is apparent that the committee
on the presidents report will recon-
mend that the case be carried to the
United States supreme court.
The reports of Secretary Morrison
and Treasurer Lennon showed that
organized labor has made substantial
sgains the past year.
Glad Hand to Delegates.
Canada today extended a warm
welcome to representatives of organ
lied labor, who have come the length
and breadth of the continent to attend
the 29th annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor.
The recent decision of the court OF
appeals of the District of Columbia
affirming the sentences of imprison-
ment imposed on President Qompers,
Vice President John Mitchell and
Secretary Frank NJ. Morrison for
contempt of court in the Buck Stove
and Range Company case has brought
these officers of the federation within
the shadow of prison walls, and It
Is for the convention to decide whe-
Their the case shall be further ap-
pealed to the United States supreme
court.
President Gompers has contended
that the constitutional rights OF free
ispeecn and the freedom OF press are
involved in the contempt proceed
ings.

Woodward. son of the president of the Woodward Iron Com panys had very little to say in verffi- cation or denial either of the rumors that have prevailed concerning the pur- chase.
 But few. if more than one, Iron com pany in the Birmingham district. ts able to stock any iron. The Sloss- Shelf field Steel and Iron Company has about l 1000 tons of iron on its yards that can be secured for an impetus in the buy Ing. The brokers speculators and con sumers who have been allowing their iron purchased several months ago to stand on furnace yards in this district, recently took up the task of moving the same out and quite little dash in the stocks has been perfected. Much of the iron moved has gone to other sections of the country.
 Dr. Roland of the Birmingham Ma chine and Foundry Company, one of the larger concerns of the kind in this dis trict, Is authority for the statement that some heavy work is now being secured by the foundries and machine shops in the Southern territory and that the present conditions are better and the future prospects brighter than they have been in two years and long er. The machine shops and foundries use no little amount of iron.
 There Is no hesitation at the steel plant the usual amount of rail togeth- CT with other shapes coming from the plant at Ensley and the rolling mills at Bessemer
 The visit of William P. Palmer, pres ident of the American Steel and Wire Company to this district to take up the arrangements for the location of the $3.000.000 steel rod and wire mill in this district. near Ensley. is still caus- ing many comments in industrial cir cles. The actual construction on the big plant will not be long delayed. The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company will have to put large force of men at work on the by-product coke oven plant that is to be erected from which gas and steam will be furnished to operate the large electric power plant to furnish power for the new rod and wire mill as we'll as other industries of the United States Steel Corporation that are already up or about to be erected in this section of the country.

 The make is being kept at the high record mark and preparations are still on looking to still further improve ment in the production. Quotations have weakened but little, some small lots of iron selling under $15 per ton even as low as s14. The bulk of the iron being offered for sale Is being quoted al SIS per ton, No. foundry.
 One of the most encouraging signs Of the iron market is in the fact that the Southern cast iron pipe makers and the foundries and machine shops have or ders in hand or in sight that will war. rant them operating their works for many months to come and big melt is assured. There is still talk of one
  ing inquiry for a large tonnage of iron to be used in the next six months.
 The Hull that has been on in the Iron market in this district for the greater part of November promises to extend more or less through the balance of the year, one month. There will be no dis tributing of the production save as to that forced, weather conditions, etc. The manufacturers will stock little iron if they can.
 An interesting statement made in the Southern territory during the week has been to the effect that the Beth- lehem Steel Corporation or Charles M. Schwab. its president has been look ing for an entrance into the Southern field and has had eyes on the proper ties of the Woodward Iron Company one of the prosperous iron making companies of this section. The Beth lehem Steel Corporation has valuable ore properties in Cuba and 1t is report ed that an object in getting into Ala sumption for this product and the Bir- mingham district is not too far re- moved. For many months there have been rumors that an Independent cor poration to the United States Steel Cor poration has been looking this way and 1t is not improbable that this will be the first definite step in that direc- tion.

WILSON SOUNDS CALL OF SOUTH. Chief of Agricultural Depart
 ment Talks. BELIEVES IN DIXIE FARMERS Sees Great Possibilities in Rich
 Soils. Cheapness of Lands and Possibility of Securing Record Yields from Them Leads Mir. Wilson to
 Predict Migration to
 seuthland.
BELIEVES IN DIXIE FARMERS

Washington, Nov. 2s.--(Special. )-- "Go South. young man. is the plea that results from the meeting of the National Farmers Congress in Raleigh, which was attended by thousand del- egates from all parts of the nation. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. Brit ish Ambassador James Bryce, and oth- or prominent citizens. and it is a cry that promises to displace the shibboleth of another day to which expression was given by the editorial sage of two generations ago in speaking of the future development of the country.
 Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is a great believer in the wonderful agri- cultural possibilities of the South. He has exploded the idea that there are worn out lands in the South that cam not be made as productive as the best farming lands in the nation. The head Of the Department of Agriculture has outlined simple methods of farming to guide the planter in the South. which he says will make the lands of that sec ton equally as productive as the rich soils of the Northwest, and will at the same time result In increased crops of double and treble proportions.
 The Secretary of Agriculture is of the opinion that the South is making the most rapid advances of all sections ln agricultural development. The cheap price of Southern lands and the possibility for making them the equal of any for agricultural purposes leads Mir. Wilson to the belief that many farmers in various sections of the coun- try will migrate to the South to en- gage in farming.
 Tn an interview on the agricultural possibilities of the South. MT. Wilson said today:
 Cheapest Thing is Land.
 The cheapest thing in the South today is land. Some of those farmers from the Northwest, who attended the annual convention Of the National Far mers' Congress. in Raleigh. N. C., this month, own farms at home that are worth from $Ie0 to s150 per acre. southern lands that will produce equal iy as well are held at a great deal less. The Southern farmer has yet much im- pavement to make in the methods of agriculture. The most striking ad- vances of the South have been along manufacturing lines. No farmer can leave his Southern land to better his
