Mobile September 27--The national convention of insurance commissioners are In their forty-first annual session. A. A. Burnett of the Associated Fra ternities of America committee; c. E. Piper and Abb Landis, representing the N, F. C.; Chairman Reau E. Folk of the insurance commissioners commit Egan, representing the Modern Wood men of America, all agree that the pro- posed bill is generally satisfactory and will accomplisch ends sought, the per petuality of fraternal beneficiary as- sociations and ability to meet not only current obligations but obligations that will provide for the future.
 The, bill meets all requirements and it is believed beyond question of doubt will be approved by the convention.
 The executive committee of the na- tional fraternaI congress that recently met in Chicago that adopted report in effect that no conference should be held with the committee of the A. F. A. 1t is learned resulted from an er- roneops assumption nave pa'eneu up their differences following promises of formal withdrawal of the resolution at its next meeting and promise to give to its withdrawal the same publicity given the original resolution.
 Milwaukee is making a strong bid for the next convention. It is under stood that Chicago might also enter the field but should such be the case the latter city is likely to withdraw in favor of it's neighbor.

COTTON MARKET IS
 STILL VERY ACTIVE
Close Is Firm at Net Advance
 of 9 to 20 Points
DEMAND IS BROADER
sidered Favorable But Crop Esti- mates Are BuIIish and Prices
 Are Thereby Affected

New York, September 27.-The cotton market continued active during today's trading with a further advance in prices on an increasing volume of outside buy ing and trade support, which was evI- dently inspired by bullish estimates of the crop and the apparent readiness with which early receipts are being absorbed in the south. The close was firm at a net advance of to 20 points.
 The market opened steady at decline of points to an advance of points, near months responding to indifferent cables and private adviees from Liver pool reporting that all negotiations had been broken off between master spin ners and operatives in Manchester, while later months again showed evidences of a good speculative demand, accompanied by bullish estimates of the crop. Prices quickly worked up to a net advance of about 10 to 15 points, and while this bulge was followed by a reaction of to points under realizing. the market con- tinued very firm, selling into new high ground for the day during the after noon on a continued broadening of out Slub demand, ldTSely ITOIu WeSlSIl sources and renewed covering. Around 135Oc for January there was a great deal of cotton for sale, enough to check the advance, but barely sufficient to cause any reaction, and closing prices were within to points of the top with good buying movement in progress right up to the end of the session.
 Weather reports were again considered favorable, but the very bullish average of private crop reports, many of which indicate a yield but little if any larger than last year, appears to have made a considerable impression on sentiment in connection with the failure of the early movement to cause any depression in southern spot prices as yet.
 The southern spot markets officially reported today were unchanged to 1 1-16c higher. The governments condition re- port will be issued Monday, and is eX- pected to show considerably deterioration for the month, although few traders be- lieve that the figures as compared with last year will be low enough to substan- tiate the sensational bullishl crop esti- mates now circulating in the trade.
 Receipts at the ports today. SSN5S0 against 63,059 last week and 87,655 last year. For the week, 325, ,00o against 241.- 946 last week and 3S0SS1 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 633s bales, against 4775 last year, and at Houston 24,915, against 13,731 last year.

TRADE IS RATHER
 DULL ON AVENUE Produce Receipts Heavy Dur
 ing the Day LEMONS ARE IN DEMAND Lines Are Also Sought But Supply Is Limited-Eggs and Poultry Re- main Unchnnged-Both Are
 Still Very Scarce
LEMONS ARE IN DEMAND

On account of the warm weather pre- vailing and of the fact that 1t is the last week of the month, trade is rather dull on Morris avenue. Receipts were not heavy yesterday in the produce mar ket. Lemons came in for a large share of the buying, and the demand was also strong for Times. The latter fruit, how ever. is very scarce. the market being almost entirely bare of the product
 Conditions remained unchanged yester- day in the egg and poultry market, with the scarcity of both chickens and eggs still being keenly felt by the dealers.

WHEAT PRICES ARE
 ON THE DOWN GRADE
Poor Outgo of Spot Wheat Is
 Cause of Weakness
ONE BULLISH FACTOR
Belief That Frost Has Done Little Damage to Corn Kept Prices Down. Oats and Provisions Are
 Also Lower

Chicago, September 27.-Gumulative re- suits were shown today for the poor outgo of spot wheat and for the half cries. The market was on the down grade all day and closed at a net loss of 1lsq13sc. The finish in corn was .ssQszc to 1Sc off, and oats were down ssc to Mlssc. Provisions were unchanged to 221ac lower
 Wheat had a wider range than has been seen in some time and was decidedly more active. One large short covered more than a million bushels which he had sold at about Pc higher Much other short wheat also was bought in. Nevertheless there was adequate supply ences were almost exclusively bearish.
 The only important bullish factor, a big decrease in primary receipts. were largely offset by the fact that primary shipments were much less than last year. On the other hand, the worlds available supply was shown to have gained a rate almost twice that of twelve months pre- vious
 Much of the selling today was from eleVdlOr sources ana II was noticed that spring wheat here was particularly weak and that northwestern dealers were showing a disposition to run away from the high-priced variety. December ranged from eS@9SAc to s91sc. closing with a net decline of 1ssc at 9S1sc.
 Belief was general that the frost last night did little or no damage to corn. In consequence there was heavy selling by belated longs, although additional frost was predicted for tonight. December sold from 5O1ac to 51Ac, and finished weak at 50ssc, loss of 7sc compared with last might. The cash market was also weak No. 2 yellow closed at 52sa0pa3Ac.
 Liquidation and short selling character ized the oats trade. December 1uctuated between 3s&c and 3414c, and closed 11Qssc off at 93%@s3Bc.
 Nearby options in provisions were un- der some pressure from packers. Heavy receipts of cattle and sheep here had 6 bearish influence. As an outcome of the days session pork was unchanged 1T 21kc lower, lard unchanged to decline of 5d71ac, and ribs down Dc to 5471ac.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, September 27-(Special.)-- The market today was firm from the opening to the close, under a sharp de- mand from the same sources that have been buying for the past week. Just at the close the market showed a tendency to react but this was checked by large buying order for october from one of the American bulls now in Liverpool
 The temper of the trade Is more bullish as the market advances, with many pre- dictions as to the low condition which will be given by the bureau next week. Higher prices are expected in Liverpool tomorrow, where it Is believed the ef- feet of the low crop estimates will soon be felt in an increased demand from spin ners. That market should advance f to 5 points tomorrow.

opening of bolls. Rains would delay this opening and bring the fruit to a better development. Some sections of the een- tral cotton belt report that they have not had any rain in weeks. Under these conditions there is a decided tendency to reduce crop estimates and this caused more or less covering among shorts this morning. At the end of the first half hour of trading the market was 3 to II points up from the opening levels and to points over yesterdays closing.
 The market held it's steady tone throughout the morning session, at the highest being F to 16 points up. Buying was stimulated by bullish press reports concerning Alabama and Georgia by fear of the tropical storm now in the Carib- bean sea, by the weekly weather reports which confirmed private reports of pre- mature opening due to drouth and un- usually warm weather in several states of the belt, and by a growing tendency toward smaller crop estimates. Bears at tempted to make capital out of private cable messages from Manchester and Liverpool, which stated that 1t was ru- mored in those markets that lockout In Lancashire was certain, but the market was not disposed to place much faith In cablegrams of this tenor. At noon the market was quiet within a point or two or the highest.
 Tn the afternoon session the market fell off under cablegrams from Liver pool stating that a lockout seemed in- evitable in Lancashire, although 1t might be of short duration. In the trading up to ? o'clock this caused a reaction Of about five points, the market standing ' to II points over yesterdays last quota tions. The decline would probably have been wider but for heavy exports from this port. Shipments amounting to 110oo haIa Ia1f hn cleared for England, leaving total stock of only 16,194 bales, compared with 66,56l bales a year ago.
 The close was steady at net advance of to 14 points.
