the highest offices in the gift of the people of Alabama; that they have served the South in war and in peace and retired to private life crowned with the approval of the world. Their mere appearance upon the scene. when called by what they conceived to be the dictates of duty. was made the excuse for abuse. and. we much regret to say, of rijicule. Nothing more shameful has happened in our history than the spectacle of the ingratitude of some of the sons of Alabama.
 The object was. of course. to make appear that those who oppose the amendment are not men of the times are cast-offs, melodies, whose wisdom if they have any. Is not such as may be profitably availed of in these modern days.
 This plan of misleading falls down completely. however. when such men sanssead s not ana 'Rsah Rs k in tho thick of our national life; he Is our honored senior senator, the sue cessor to the great Morgan, and cfose- fects the good of the great state of Alabama. If these be any man who by virtue of official position and present acquaintance with affairs deserves to be of weight with the people of this of Fayette.
 As for MT. Tomlinson we have to
 
 the state is more progressive, even radical, than he. He is not the holder of office and has held no office but he has been a leader in new things ever since we have known him. Not all the ways he travelled have been Followed by us; we have parted from him with almost explosive force at times; but there is no question pos slble as to his up-to- -dateness, and his ability to keep abreast of what is go- Ing on in Alabama. Indeed. we may go further to say that when Tomlin- son Is found advocating a cause or measure 1t Is one that has a pretty solid following Of the people; and that not only is he up-to- date himselfa but has fair understanding of the extent to which the popular voice will ap- prove of his position. If we were looking for sign of the times. as indi- eating how the election of November 29 will result. we could hardly ask for better one than the opinion of John w. Tomlinson regarding 1t.
 These two are not the only men of present day affairs who are strongly advocating the defeat of the amend ment. The state Is full of such men, and It Is altogether a mistake for the amenders to say that anything but desire to see Alabanlians act wisely in their own interest inspires their ef- forts.

CHICAGE GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Chicago Nov. 13-Wintry weather in the Northwest was one of the fac tors responsible for a sharp break in wheat prices here today. The market closed weak at net declines of 3-40 7-S to 7-8@1. Oats were affeced by the slump in wheat and closed easy but corn closed firm. Provisions were again excited and strong and closed ! to 50 higher than the final figures of the previous session.
 The wheat market was weak all day on account of the persistent hammer ing by bears and to lot of week end liquidation. This selling continued heavily against the market as sup port was at no time vigorous News of the day was almost exclusively in favor Of the bears. although cash wheat at outside markets was still fairly active.

 An attempt of shorts in January pork to cover, caused a sharp bulge throughout the provision market At the high point. January pork was up soc compared with yesterdays final figures. The demand was based on the sensationally light receipts of hogs now being marketed throughout the West. The total movement this week aggregated about 363,000 head. against 82S,S00 last week.

Statements were made that. that foreign lenders were ,sa offering srsat private bankers were. applying re, sources to the protection of the call to the Bank of England. largely from the Bank of France. Internationai bankers in Now York had information that this movement was likely to con tinue as the Bank of England might desire the conditions surrounding the operation being made satisfactory to the French Banks requirement.. An account was taken, however. of ad- ditional drain already in sight on New York bank reserves. Prospects are that further gold will go out to South America besides engagements already made that do not figure in today's bank statement. The demand for cash In the interior also appears not to have been exhausted. Trade re- ports were encouraging and returns of October gross earnings of railroads were sufficient to indicate a high wa ter mark for that month. The fact that no call loans are made at the Stock Exchange on Saturday left the market without an accurate Index or the tone as to demand for time ioans Loans for sixty days were made at 1-2 per cent. and that rate was ask ed for ninety days. After some delay the appearance of the bank statement confirmed the confidence os those who had expected the surplus to be con served, the enormous loan contrac- tion reported operating to add sub stantiaily to the margin of the sur plus.

Until the cotton market becomes a Steadier affair. without such violent Fluctuations as have been apparent during. the past week or so. and until there Is a more practical basis so that buyers and sellers can get together. there will be little doing in cotton circles.
 Saturdays local spot cotton mark ct was an example of the existing situa- tion. Not bale was offered by the Factors and consequenuy no sales were recorded. Shippers made little inquiry and trades were not pushed by the factors. Holders, on the other hand, have the 15 cent lights dazzling in their eyes and are content to store their staple in anticipation of this high level
 The total receipts of all the ware houses Saturday amounted to about 676 bales of the staple. The majority of this came by rail as approximately only 100 bales of wagon cotton was for sale on the Square. With the favora hle weather for. the, gathering of the movement of the staple to the local market has been very rapid. During the past week the receipts were all most POO bales lighter per day. Ii is predicted that during the coming week there win be still greater falling off ti receipts.
 Although the opening prices of the market were several points under Fri days closing figures. shorts covering Tor the weekend and some buying on the predicted cold spell for Sunday called a check and the market recover ed. Prices advanced for several points but as soon as the rush was over, prices dipped from the highest Even at that, the closing figures showed a nine points advance for the day.
 December futures opened at t4.2S. seven pointss decline. The month Wetn as low as 1426, and then ad- vanced. Prices closed at the highest figures of the day at 14.44, registering nine points advance. January fu- lures opened also six points down at 1l44. Prices for this month went as ed steady at 14.59, or nine points above Fridays close.

A dull day locally.
 Receipts were about the .ssame at 676 bales.
 Most of this came by rail as wagon cotton on the Square totaIed approxi- mately to 100 bales.
 The cotton market was steady Sat urday and prices closed at a 9 points advance for all months.
 The rally over the weekend was due to short covering and some buying on weather conditions
 Liverpool opened better than expect ed but closed weak at a decline of several points.
 Spots were also dull in the English market.
 The weather throughout this section was favorable Saturday.
 The predicted frost for the Western belt did not materlalfze except in the extreme part of Texas.
 The bear factions is gaining friends and the market is not as one-sided as 1t was.
 New Orleans reported spots quiet Saturday with small business at un- changed prices.
 The mill takings of 366,OOO bales for l the week were the heaviest of the sea- son.
 One report puts it that as long as consumption statistics run like this there seems to be little consideration given to the mill and the trade for Complaints.
 Reports at all important poin:s fin the short crop sections of the West are running light and will soon assume such small proportions as to convince the world that the small crop estimate has not been exaggerated.
 The most convincing testimony on this subject will be given by the next Census report of cotton ginned up to November 14,
 Then the big bears of the North who have been harping on possible large crop, will realize the truth, 1t is said.
 Manchester cabled; The Manchester : Spinners' Federation has recommeISSe ] that the curtailment now in force in the cotton mills be continued until end of February"
 San Antonio, Texas, wired After a careful investigation, I only find fol- lowing counties with second crop: Hayes, Caldwell, Williamson, Madison. Grimes Washington, COmal, Gaudcloup, Travis and FaYette. All will not eX- ceed 25,0O0 bales"
 TupeIo wired: With ginning fig ures around S.00O.0uu bales on the 14th, the real buIlishness cannot be understood by traders North of the Mason and Dixon line. TO the people in the cotton fields it Is astounding. Never in the history of cotton has the weather been so perfect Never has the weather been so hot and forcing, premature opening. Never has a crop been picked and glnned so rapidly. The into-sight Friday the 12th about the same as the into-sisht last year which indicates HOO poo less to come into-sight from now on"
 New York wired; There Is a deep rooted suspicion that the declines of z yesterday and Thursday will continue until prices pack down to a more 5 operative basis. Spinners are indiffer- ent and spot handlers in the South prefer to await an easier situation. While the dry goods trade is advanc- ing prices gradually, it complains that the new quotations are far from ! parity with fifteen cent raw cotton. but this complaint Is to be expected Ain such unusual times as these."
