tNot only General Woodward. but General Andrew JacKson himself, has paid tribute to the worth and char acter of Weatherford. Every contem- porary of the Creek 'eader, who knew him well, spoke of his truth. his bray cry and hts sincerity. TherC s no room to doubt that he stood head and shoulders above the chiefs of the sav- age Creeks, and that in many respects he was the equal to some of the best of the early pioneers.
 his life which speaks more eloquently of his worth than anything said of him by General Woodward and Gen- eral Jackson, and that is that he lived the last ten years of his lire on Little River, in Monroe County, with his kim dred among the early white settlers, and no nasn of that section was more highly esteemed or respected, than Weatherford, the former foe of the white men. After the disaster to the Creeks he retired to his plantation on Little River and lived honored by lis neighbors, until his death from ex- haustion and over eating at a bear hunt in 1924. That section of the State now has many fine stories of the Creek leader and they all are to his credit.
 General Claiborne was his bitter foe and some of Ciaiborne's best friends the war which weatherford led against the whites. And as the foot note said, he wrote in the heat of passion and prejudice. which might we'll be excused him when the memories of some of the bloody incidents of the Creek War were fresh in his mind.-Editor Ad- yertiser.)

BULLS FAIL TO SUPPORT

New York. September Y-There was
severe break in the cotton market m
der general liquidation, with the close
weak at a net decline Of 2s@33 points.
The greatest weakness was late in the
day. steadily sagging market uncover
ing stop loss orders and leading to con-
siderable excitement.
Inc opening was irregular at an ad-
vance of points to a decline of 7
points, near months being relatively firm
i at the start, in response to the high
cables, but soon easing with the later
positions under absence of bull support.
The failure of any of the big market
leaders to come to the assistance of the
market tended to increase the disposition
OF smaller bulls to take profits, while
some of Saturdays buyers seemed to be
disappointed that the tropical storm had
not reached the cotton belt over Sunday.
Then, too, there was naturally some in
clination to even up accounts before the
publication of the government report on
Monday.
At any rate, while there were slight
reactions, the general tendency of the
WIS uoWhWdIu, anu III Ine last
half-hour offerings became extremely
heavy, with December contracts selling
off to 13.17c, and January to 13-14c, or
about 20 to 80 points net lower This rep
resented reaction of nearly 81 per bale
from the high records made last Fri
day, but the market developed no rallA-
ing power, and closed practically at the
lowest figures of the day.
Manchester advices claimed that the
high prices were checking business in
goods, but generally speaking, reports
from dry goods circles were considered
encouraging, and the decline was quite
commonly attributed to an over extension
of the scattering long interest and a
temporary withdrawal of bull support.

WHEAT ADVANCES
ON BRISK DEMAND
Heavy Receipts In Northwest
Have Lite Effect
CLOSE is NEAR THE TOP
Trading in Corn Market Is Limited,
With Sentiment Bullish, and the
Close Is Strong-Oats and
Provisions Close Firm.

Chicago, September 27.-Brisk de-
mand for cash wheat at all grain CEN
ters in this country offset the effect
of record breaking receipts in the
northwest and caused frmness in the
wheat market here today At the
close prices showed gains of A@1Ac,
compared with Saturdays final figures.
Coarse grain and provisions closed
firm.
The wheat market was dragged down
at the start by the phenomenally large
receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth and
by unusually large shipments last
week from Russia. Total arrivals of
wheat today at the two northwestern
centers aggregated 2469 cars, which is
the greatest amount ever received in
one day. Shipments from Russia for
the week were more than 100000
bushels. about q of the entire worlds
shipments.
The market was firm during the last
half of the day. although the volume
of trading was not large. The Decem
Der option sold during the day be-
tween 9Sh and 99Ac. The close was
firm at the top excepting for Decem-
Der, which closed at 99Mc.
Trading in the corn market was a
small and narrow affair with senti
ment inclined somewhat to the bull
side owing to the f1rmness of wheat
and to a sharp bulge in September
oats.
Receiving houses reported that coun-
try stations were offering corn much
more freely and that the shipping de :
mand was still slack. Weather condi-
lions were favorable for the maturing
of the new crop. The market closed
strong with future deliveries at the
highest point, final quotations showing
net gains of Is @%c.
A furry in the September delivery
due to covering by shorts was the fea-
ture of trading in the oats market. AS a
result of the brisk demand prices were
forced up Nc from Saturdays CLOSING
quotations. The market closed firm
with prices u @1hc above the previous
close.
The provision market was unsettled
although f1rmness predominated the
greater part of the day. Profit taking
in the session, but the market again
became firm owing to buying by out

evincing more solcitude over the money
outlook than in New York although 1t
is the New York demand that Is looked
for to lift money rates there. A good

was looked for at an early day. Ihere

Hubbard Bros. g. Co.'S Letter.

New York, September 27.-(Special.) y
AS the market advanced on Saturday on
a threatened storm in the gulf, there
were large realizing orders this morn
ing when it did not appear to have
entered the cotton belt. This taking OF
profits continued all day, bringing about
a decline and meeting stop ordIs ON the
way down until the close, which was
weak at about 80 points under Saturday
Such a break gave rise to many rumors
of bearsh returns from the ginners' re
port to be published on Monday next
which report should show a large gin
ming, judging from the receipts.
The sudden change in the course of
prices has brought about a feeling that
the bulls have sold before the bureau
and ginners' report taking profits, with
a view of replacing their cotton on the
reaction.
