DRY GOODS REVIEW.

New York. Aug. 22.-The cotton goods market has been moderately steady during the week. Spot goods bring less than contracts, and prices on heavy cottons still are below the par ity of raw material. The varying sup plies of cotton in hand by mills partly account for the difficulty of lifting prices to a fair level, bat 1t Is also noted that jobbers are finding 1t diffi- cult to sell goods at higher prices. Bag manufacturers are still active buyers of cloths ranging from $50 yards to six yards per pound. Fall River sold lSO, 900 pieces of print cloths during the week and 5000 were regulars at 8 5-Sc a yard.
 Fine cottons are being quoted at higher prices. Prints are in moderate request from agents at the new prices. The naming of new prices on ging- hams for the spring season has stimu- lated trading in woven wash fabrics. Jobbers have had very good week in piece goods departments and are an- tlcipating further activity during the coming week.
 The yarn markets are irregular on coarse numbers. Fine oombed yarns are firm and tending Higher. owing to expectations of a shortage in the staple

Weeks Review of Cotton West of Mis-
 Memphis. Tenn, Aug. 22.-The Com- mercial-Appeafs weekly cotton sum- mary will say tomorrow:
 The crop is suffering from the want of rain in Tennessee. Arkansas. Ok lahoma and Texas and in the hill lands in Mississippi.
 L Excessive heat intensifies the need of moisture and in the three Western States named above the plant is she'd ding seriously and bolls are opening rapidly. In Texas the improvement begun the previous week was checked A. general soaking rain is needed to relieve the situation. Crops in the two Carolinas Georgia and Alabama improved and reports from the Missis- sippi Delta are better. Tn those dis tricts picking will not begin until well after September 1, as the plant is still growing and setting fruit. The date of frost will have an important bear ing on the yield as the crop Is still late.
 In Louisiana the hot weather was beneficial because many weevils were destroyed, but so much damage has already been done that estimates for the yield are light. The plant Is well fruited and except where the drought has been prolonged no serious she'd ding has occurred.

REVIEW OF LUMBER

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 21-- Especially Twelve members of the disbanded Mississippi and Louisiana Retail Lum- ber Dealers Association. in addition to the fifteen who have paid $500 each to Attorney General J.. B. Stirling, of Mis- sissippi. in compromise for the anti trust penalties sought to be collected through litigation at the rate of $751; 900 for each of the seventy-seyen mem- bers. are endeavoring to follow in the footsteps of the favored fifteen, says today's issue of The Southern Lumber man. This Is in spite of the fact that MT. Stirling. before his departure last week for Chicago for an extended va- cation, announced that the door was closed to the sixty-two members out side the bounds of the compromise be- cause they did not come to the scratch on scheduled time. However, there ap- pears to be a large number of the re. tailers who are determined to make 8 fight against the Mississippi Supreme Court decision and carry the case to the United States Supreme Court. Strong pressure is being made by these members to prevent any more attempt ed assertions from their ranks.
 The plan of action now under discus sion by the aggressive members Is to hold meeting at an early date and map out fight. The first step, ac- cording to well-informed attorneys will probably be an injunction applica- tion in the Federal Court restraining the Attorney General of Mississippi from prosecuting the suit for penal ties under the antitrust law. pending an appeal to the United States Supreme Court to test the Mississippi statute and its application to that clause in the constitution and bylaws of the dis- organized association prohibiting mem. bers from dealing with those whole salers who sold over the heads of the retailers direct to the consumers The argument Is made that the retailers were not convicted of maintaining 6 trust to increase prices. It is also con- tended that the excessive penalties pre- scribed by the Mississippi law--$5. 900 per day for each violation--are absurd fin that the enforcement of them would amount to practical conffscation of the entire property and possessions of the retailers. They assert that the United States Supreme Court would not at the utmost permit the $500 compromise to stand. and that an appeal would re- suit in a nominal fine, if fine at all. It is understood that some of the twelve members who are endeavoring to join their brothers in the $500 pasture be- long to the Louisiana contingent. The matter has been placed berore Assist ant Attorney General Butler, but he will not act until his chief returns from the Great Lakes.

SELMA.

Selma. Aug. 22-- Especially The high price which cotton brought some weeks ago caused a number of the farmers in Central Alabama tc sell liberally to To- cal buyers for fall delivery and as a result more cotton was bought for fu- ture delivery than ever before in this section.
 Tho cotton men today conservativelv estimate that not less than 25.000 bales of the present growing crop were bought some weeks ago. Some figure that the number of bales bought. and which will be delivered this fall, will be nearer 3O.0O0. bales but exact num- her of bales bought cannot be gotten at as some of the large buyers are out of the citv.
 That more cotton was not sold by the farmers of this section to be delivered this fall was because the local buyers would not take what was offered. Ev- cry farmer was anxious to sell but be- cause of the high price which was be-

ANNTSTON.

Anniston. Aug. 22.-.Special.) )-There has been an unusually small amount of cotton sold on the Anniston mar ket for future delivery. according to statements gathered from Anniston dealers. The reason for this is said Co be that there has been a lack of az gressiveness on the part of the brok- CTS themselves.l The brokers consider it against theif interests to cite ex- act figures as ito their purchases. but from estimates gathered from various
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-08-23

sources, there have at present been sold only about 1000 or 2,soo bales. there would be . dsoreass in the acre age in this county of about 10 per cent for the. present season. but this report was discredited by two promi- nent cotton brokers who have just male . trip through the cotton dis tricts of the county.
 They say that the crop is looking fns, despite early disadvantageous weather conditions, and that unless they ares badly mistaken the yield for this season will be fully e great as 1t was last year.

Mayors To Petition.

Mayors of twenty Kentucky towns
will petition the Legislature to pass
a bill exempting cities from dam
age suits. Concerted action will be
taken by the Mayors Of many of the
larger cities and towns in Kentucky.
This was decided upon at meeting
held in Louisville, recently, Mayor
Hume, Of Frankfort, presiding. I'M
der the laws of Kentucky neither
the county nor State can be sued,
but the cities and towns do not en-
Joy this exemption. The number
of suits filed against municipalities
every year run up into the thuus-
ands, and hundreds Of judgments
were awarded against cities where
the parties suing were not entitled
to damages. 1t is to remedy this
evil that the Mayors have agreed on
bill to be presented to the next
Legislature. -Sharpsburg World.

KEEP HIM THERE,
(Judge Owens in his paper, March
%. 1904

(Judge Glvens IN his paper, Marcn
20, 1904)
In connection with the renomi-
nation of Mr.. Stanley without oppo-
sition to seat in the national Con-
gress, the Cleaner feels it opportune
| 10 make some comment upon the
ACCESSIBILITY of the second district
keeping their members of Congress
for a longer period of service in that
position.
In some way the idea has prevail
ed that two terms in Congress is all
that a man should be permitted to
fill from this district. There have
been two exceptions to this rule
since the war, as we remember
Hon. James A. Mckenzie having
served three terms and Hon. w. I.
Ellis three terms. and other mem
bers from this district have served
either only one or two terms. Just
how this sentiment should have
found Judgment in the minds of the
people cannot be explained or I'M
derstood, unless it grew out Of the
fact that two terms for the Offices of
Circuit Judge, Commonwealth At
torney and county Offices should
have been considered usually long
enough and the same rule was
thought to apply to our Congress
men.
But there is vast difference in
the length of the terms of con-
gresham and the other offices nam
ed and a still greater difference as
regards the equipment required in
order that efficient service may be
rendered. To illustrate. Before
man is chosen for circuit Judge or
attorney he has al
ready had experience in the line of
duty connected with these offices.
He has become familiar with the
duties and has become qualified to
fill the Offices by experience in the
practice and by knowledge of the
laws, and is ready the moment he is
elected to enter upon the duties of
these positions intelligently and dis
charge them satisfactorily. And the
terms for which they are elected is
six years, ard the usual endorsement
brings the period of service up to
twenty years or more. 1t will be
remembered that Judge CisselI
served as circuit judge for eighteen
years, and Judge Givens for twenty
years. Judge Dorsey retiring volun
tarily. John w. Lockett served as
commemorative attorney for twelve
years and j. Henry Powell served
for eighteen years. In each instance
the officer was prepared by previous
and was thoroughly ia
miliar with the duties to be per-
formed.
Now, it seems to the Cleaner that
