Biennial seaa.en ,
Mohila Item.

Al the State Capital there Is much speculation as to the proposed estab- fishing of biennial sessions for the Legislature of Alabama. Some in dis cussing the proposition to change the present condition. coming as 1t does from Governor Conner in his proclama- tion, declares 1t but political move on the part of the executive to further his interests in his race for the United States Senatorship. Others scout this idea.
 on the part of Governor Conner there is and has been for many years sem timent in favor of having legislative sessions biennially instead of as at present. Time and again 1t has been urged that Alabama mas outgrown her infancy and is now among the com manding States of the Union. Other States have the biennial plan of meet ing for the State Legislature and why not Alabama.
 It is charged in some directions that but for the activity of the railroads the biennial session would have been adop- ted some time ago. Be this as it may, Alabama has come to such proportions that there Is need for more than one meeting of the Legislature in four years. With two sessions scheduled there would be no need for an extra session such as Is about to be con- vened. The biennial session sentiment will win out.

The close was up from the lowest on covering but senti- ment continued nervous and late prf. vate wire advices from Texas indicated more favorable conditions for the crop. Southern spot markets officially report ed generally unchanged.
