tion No. SO and Orders Con-
tinuaton of Old Rate.

Montgomery, July Especial )-Gov. B.
B. Conner today mailed a letter to men,
bers of the legislature saying that he
will call an extra session of the legisla-
ture for July 81. He does not say what
the official call will contain, nor tell Just
when it will be sent out, but does say
that the call In regular form will follow
In q few days.
The letter follows directed to the indi-
vidual members of the legislature:
Dear Sir-I have decided to call the
legislature to meet in extraordinary SEES
sion Tuesday. July "a, 1909. The official
call will be made in a few days
Il shall be pleased to extend to you
personally every courtesy and to serve
you any way can"
While the governor does not say so, it is
well known that laws that will seek to
strengthen the prohibition statutes will
be passed, and the anti-saloon people say
that they will find a way to get around
the recent locker decision. Better forestry
protection will be included, as well as
compulsory education, and it is expected
new acts for protection of the oyster
growth. Provision may also be put in
for fire marshal
When asked fol an interview on the
coming session the governor smiled and
said that 1t would assemble for the pur-
pose of needed legislation. He was very
much pleased with the outlook and said
that he expected good work to be done
The impression is that the session will
not run over 20 days at the outside.

viii Not Approve Classification.

WI ''Sh NRkiObO StdoolilCdt1oIls
The Alabama railroad commission has
refused to approve southern classification
No. 36, and ordered continuance of old
classification No. 50 and supplements six
and seven, for the reason that not more
than two-thirds of the roads are using
the southern classification and the result
Is that the classifications are getting fur
Their apart all the time. The Western Of
Alabama, the Central of Georgia and the
Louisville and Nashville are using their
own classification, and to this is added
the fact that the rates are fixed in Ala
bama by statute in certain fields The
commission set down hearings for July
10 as follows:
w. A. Tunstall and others vs. Louis
Vile and Nashville, rates on crossties
from Bay Minette and Carney to Mobile:
Carney Lumber company VS.. same road
rates on ties from Atmore to Mobile, and
the railroad commission vs. the same
road, general adjustment of the rates on
crossties.
The following dates for meetings of the
commission In counties are made: Tusca-
loosal and Pickens, July IA; Greene and
Sumpter, July 10; Dale and Perry, July Is;
Dallas and Marengo, July 20; Wilcox,

prices declined more than 1c from the high

owing TO the cold wave which had spread over
a large section of the winter wheat belt and
to an advance OF I'D at Liverpool The mar
ket also bullishly affected by decrease Of
$3.50, 900 bushels in the worlds visible supply
for the week the general impression prevailing
prior to the publication of the figures that the
disease would be considerably less than that
amount. This factor, however, was later used
a bear argument. when it became known
that all the decrease in available stocks oc-
Cured in the European supplies. The selling
was general in the final hour and the market
appeared TO have little support. The close was
weak at almost the lowest point, with May at
$1.071s and July at 98%c.
The corn market was firm early in the day
but later a weak tone developed. Final quota
tons on May were 61l Is @61Ac and on July 6115
