WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, September 25-Reports from the dry goods trade in agricultural sec tions speak of steady trade in cotton goods and this is reflected in filling in orders for quick shipment sent into the primary markets. But the demand is still far from being broad on domestics and staples for immediate consumption and selling agents are finding great diff culty in getting prices in accord with the costs of production.
 During the week it was announced that all lines of dress ginghams made by the Amoskeag company for spring had been sold up and withdrawn. Other lines on these goods are also well conditioned The announcement of the American Print ing company to the effect that it will offer a sub count print at Az cents and that it's works vii resume operations aft CT another weeks idleness was feature of importance.
 Mills are generally slow in resumins operations and it was announced that southern mills will curtail one week In October
 That retail and jobbing stocks are at a low level is the general belief and manu- faeturers hope that when the scarcity of cloths is apparent to retailers the de- mand will broaden and prices will rise. The disposition to look for low cotton is not general in the eastern section of the country among either manufacturers or selling agents.

DIVIDED OPINION
 UPON COTTON CROP
Bulls and Bears Are Waiting
 For Final Reports
TEXAS CROP WATCHED
Cotton Has Been Rushing to Market From Texas and If It Should SIacken Prices Would Ad-
 vance Very Rapidly

New Orleans, September 25.-This week. according to indications, the cotton mar ket will be marked by general tendency to avoid increasing committents on either side because of the approach of the last report on condition of. the season and what is considered to be really the first report on ginning. Both of these re- ports will be issued on Monday of next week and the trade will attempt to dis count them this week.
 The report on condition will cause more or less dispute until all the private bu- reaus have been heard from. The ma jority of bulls believe in a loss of over five points from the condition figures of last month which were 721, but the bears are not willing to grant a loss of more than points. So far as the ginning re- far enough advanced to cause very much interest to be taken in it. The season has been so forward in Texas and so back ward in other portions of the cotton belt that the average trader finds it hard to acquire an opinion of what the figures will show. Opinion may be crystalized by the reports from some of the reliable private bureaus.
 If the news that as received on the end of last week Is true the market will hear little more about the labor dispute in Lancashire. This feature of the situa- ton dominated the market for a while last week but if, as claimed, the men are willing to arbitrate their grievances, the lockout that has been called will un- doubtedly never be put into effect and the market will cease to have any in terest in the dispute. It is also declared that the bills of lading question Is no longer an important factor. If this is the case, there is no longer any danger that cotton will be. tied up at the ports to become a weight on the market
 Should this become the general belief this week, it is probable that some little buying for long account of strong char acter will result.
 The Texas crop will be watched very closely this week for there are signs that the crop in some counties is becoming exhausted. Such exhaustion wiuld result in smaller movement to some market ing centers, the news of which would be at once wired all over the cotton world The weather map will be watched for signs of colder weather. It Is too early for severe frosts, even in the northern portions of the belt, but not too early for nights cold enough to check the growth of the plant to some degree If colder weather Is experienced 1t will be regarded as important because a large portion of the cotton region has crops that are late and naturally demand favor able growing weather

REGISTRARS ARE IN
 SESSION THIS WEEK

The county board of registrars will be in session this week at the courthouse for the last sitting during 1910. the yef for the regular biennial session of e board, as provided by the constty ,n After next Saturday, October l, ere will be no further regular session the board until 1912, and all who are now qualified to register must do so this week or wait until 1912.
 The registrars still complain that many seem to be in ignorance of the consti- tutional provisions as to registration. A man who has once registered in Jefferson county need not and in fact, cannot, register again, but members of the board state that numerous men apply to be registered who did so during 1908 or pre- viously.
 It is also stressed by the board that the qualifications for registering a a reg ular sitting are different from those for registering at a special sitting of the board, which is held before each election, state, county, city or otherwise. Those who are qualified during a year of a regular biennial session, which is always an even year, must do so, or wait until the next even year, or regular biennial session. The special sittings, 1t Is point ed out, are only to give men opportunity to register who have become of age since the last regular biennial session. were ill., absent from the county or other wise unable to register at that session.
 It Is stated that the universal mis- understanding or ignorance of the regis tration provisions of the constitution pre- vailing in Alabama may make it ab- solutely necessary that the clause be amended

CIVIL SERVICE
 MEN TO MEET
MENT FROM AT0Rs AND CONGREssMEN WILL MAKE ADDREsSES-MEET HERE

The officers of the local Civil Ser vice Retirement association have is sued letters to all the prominent peo- pie of Alabama to attend their rally to be held October 1 at which time solution of the retirement plan of the civil service may be fully discussed and if possible agree upon some plan that will be approved by the national administration.
 Simultaneously in every city in Amer lea of any size these meetings will be held.
 The postal employees are endeavoring to enlist the sympathies and interest of the citizens in their behalf. It is planned to draft so~oe suitable plan under which employe.. of the civil ser- vice may be retired after they reach a certain age, something like the oth- CT branches of the government. The question or plan of deducting every month so much of an employees sal ary to be held in trust by the govern ment with so much interest to be re- turned when the employees become de- pendent does not meet with the ap- proval ot the association. They main tain that their work is such that no plan of this kind would be adaptable to the needs and requirements They believe the government should have a plan outlined that will not require week or month.
 The meeting to be held here will be addressed by United States Senators John Hollis Bankhead and Joseph F. Johnston, Congressmen Hobson, Un- derwood and Hefln.
 Professor Blakemore, assistant post master and Dr. Russell M. Cunning ham will also address the meeting.
 The postoffice employees here cordial ly invite anyone that is interested in the movement to attend the meeting, it matters not whether they receive special invitation. The meeting will be open and anyone that cares to will be at liberty to address the gather | ing.
 The invitation signed by James c. Trout, chairman of the invitation com mittee follows:
 You are earnestly solicited to attend | mass meeting at the Chamber of I Commerce assembly hall, October |. 1910, at D. m, where the United States civil service retirement plan will be fully discussed, with a view of pre- senting a practical solution or the question, which would meet with the approval of the United States govern ment."

"The queen of the Moulin Rouge.y

That theatregoers of this city are awake to the fact that the musical comedy. "The Queen of the Moulin Rouge" which comes to the Shuhert theatre on Wednesday and Thursday, with a matinee Thursday. Is a produc- tion of extraordinary magnitude and high standard, is evidenced by an un- usual number of requests that seats be laid aside prior to the opening of the regular advance sale. The sale opens this morning at the theatre box office and the first in line will have the first choice of seats. Owing to the unusual interest manifested in the engagement and the probable heavy demand for seats, it has been decided not to sell more than four seats to any individual, thus protecting regular theatregoers against paying advance prices.
 "The Queen of the Moulin Rouge comes here direct from extended en- gagements in New York city and Chi cago, with practically the original cast, and promises to be the distinct novelty of the season.
