RATES ENJOINED
 IN TENNESSEE

Nashville, Tenn, October 1S.-Re straining the Tennessee railroad com mission from enforcing certain orders against the Illinois Central railroad and the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Rail- road company, United States District Judge Sanford this morning issued a temporary injunction of wide signifi- canoe to shippers and to railroad men.
 The orders which the railroad com mission Is enjoined from putting into effect were entered November IF, 1909, in the cases of the Merchants Cotton Press and Storage company, ct al, vs the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Rail- road company and the Merchants Cot ton Press and Storage company vs. the Illinois Central Railroad company.
 The substance of the orders were as follows:
 1. Requiring the complainant railroad company to deliver all cotton in cars consigned to compress Nos. 6 and of the Merchants Cotton Press and Stor- age company.
 2. Rrequiring the complainant to either make 10 per cent bale allow ance for unloading to the Merchants Cotton Press and Storage company or to desist from making such allowance to the Memphis Warehouse company.

SLIGHT DECLINE
 IN WHEAT MARKET Short Selling Is Overdone By

RECEIPTS ARE LES;
Offerings in the Corn Pit Are Absorbed By Shorts and the Price Advances. Oats and Provisions Also
 Make Gains

Chicago, October 1S.-Suggestons that the wheat market was nearing an export basis had not little to do with the fact that final prices today were un- changed to only hc down. The hopeful attitude, however, was not taken until after a period of extreme depression dur ing which short selling was overdone and much liquidation took place on stop-loss orders. Corn made a net gain of 7sQ1sc to ssc and oats of ssc to 1aQssc. The finish in provisions ranged from Dc to 71ac ad- vance.
 Ocean freight engagements for 560,000 bushels of Manitoba wheat were reported, and special shipment of Kansas wheat to Central America. The worlds avail able supplies showed no increase except in the United States and Canada, pri- mary receipts in this country were less than half those of a year ago and sup plies in and afoat for Europe exhibited an actual falling off. Early in the day, however, attention was largely occupied by dispatches telling of continued rains in Argentina. The bearish effect of such reports was heartily emphasized by later cablegrams, asserting that the downpour was generally and very beneficial, exceed ing all expectations. Then came declara- tions that in Santa Fe and Cordoba the precipitation, contrary to first informa- tion. was light. By this time the sell ing furry had exhausted itself and there was rapid reaction. December during the day varied from 925s@92%c to 941kc and closed firm at 93%@94c, a net loss of a shade.
 In the corn pit offerings were absorbed by the larger shorts and by new in- vestors. The country was selling less and the trade expecting a lighter run next week. December fluctuated between 459s@4615c, closing at 461hc, rise of as01sc over last night. The cash market was weak early, but strengthened later. No. 3 yellow closed at 47%@4SAc.
 Buying of oats was of an important sort, largely purchases for big shorts. Decem- Der went as low as 294c but ran up to 305sc, closing at 3012c, a net advance of ss@1ac. Holders of provisions indulged in profit-taking and somewhat neutralized the natural results of lighter receipts at packing centers. In the end pork was unchanged to 71Ac off, lard, 215c lower to 7iac up. and ribs at cents lower to PEG higher.

COTTON CONTINUES
 ID TURN DOWNWARD
Weather Conditions Are Fa-
 vorable To the Crop
SELLING IS VERY HEAVY
Some Fears of the Gulf storm Af- fected the Market Slightly, But This Is Overcome on High
 Crop Estimates

New York; October 18.-There was a further sharp decline in the cotton mar ket today, owing to the weather condl- tions in the south and talk of increas- ing estimates of the yield and rumors Of an easier situation in spot prices. Rallies occurred from time to time, but prices stayed within points of the lowest dur ing the day.
 The opening was steady at an advance of points to a decline of 3, which was about in line with the cables. october was relatively firm at the start on re- ports that the south was not offering cotton freely in Liverpool. and there was some buying on storm news.
 But selling was heavy, and while there was a rally from net loss of about to 9 points to practically the closing fig ures of yesterday the middle of the morning the slight bulge was followed by weakness in the local market by small buying. There were fears that the re- ports of the storm in the gulf section would have some effect on the market, but trading later did not hold up this report.
 December contracts sold at 14.24c, or 72 points below the high level of last week. and March at IA. 41c, or 73 points off from the recent top. Southern spot markets officially reported were 1s@Ac lower.
 There was nothing in the weather news to indicate the frost in the belt, and private wires from Memphis said south ern exports were raising their estimates of the crop. A prominent English au- thority cabled an estimate of I,540000 bales. The announcement that the bill of lading controversy had been practically settled, and that the French strike had been ended appeared to attract little at tention.

terests who were encouraged by the rumor that spinners were heavy buyers of spots for forward delivery in this market. At the end of the first half hour of trading prices were 2 to points over yesterdays close. At the lowest around the call they were to points under yesterdays last quotations on the most active months.
 Selling broke out afresh around the middle of the morning on improved crop accounts from southwest Texas, and the market dropped to levels 10 to F points under yesterdays close. The market acted short and scalpers attempts to take profits on this decline checked it and gave the market a steadier tone At noon prices were to 6 points up from the lowest and to under yesterday s close.
 In the afternoon session selling pressure increased and at ? o'clock the most ac- tive months were 16 to F points under yesterdays last quotations.
 The market closed steady at a net de- cline of B points.

LaFollette Has setback

Rochester, Minn., October 1S.-The news of the sudden death of Senator Deliver of Iowa has caused a slight setback to the favorable condition of Senator Rob- ert M. LaFollette, who Is recovering from an opeartion for gall stones at St. Mary's hospital. The close relationship between the Iowa and the Wisconsin senators in their careers at Washington made the news of the death a great sorrow to La Toilette. His condition is by no means serious and 1t Is thought the slight turn for the worse will be overcome very shortly. It is expected the senator will leave the hospital some day this week.

TACOMA PEOPLE ARE
 VERY INDIGNANT

Tacoma. Wash, October 1S-At a mass meeting of business men today resolu- tions were adopted denouncing the charge that Tacoma's census was padded. The resolutions demand that the government make canvass of the city. If fraud has been committed the resolutions de- clare the city of Tacoma will do every thing in its power to bring the guilty to justice.
 A joint committee representing the com mercial club and the chamber of com merce probably will go to Washington and present the resolutions to the cen sus bureau, to the Secretary of Commerce and Labor and to President Taft.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, October 1s.-(Special.)-- Europe sent better advices than antici- pated, which were met by heavy liqui- dation on the part of many who have come to believe that the continued good weather has added materially to the crop. At first this cotton was taken on the idea that outsiders who have been buying on small crop estimates would again enter the market. As they did not, further liquidation continued to the close, which was at about the low point. Spinners bought on the break and they now hold cotton above the prices they can obtain for goods.
 Weather continues favorable, with little probability of a frost this week Should this weather continue for the next fortnight the tendency to increase crop estimates will grow. The Havana storm seems likely to move along the South Atlantic coast.
 Liverpool should be points lower to- morrow,

DURAND LAYS MOST
 BLAME UPON TACOMA

Washington, October 18.-"The padding of census returns in the other cities men tioned by me in my statement of Sat- urday night was not insignificant, but in no instance was it as extensive as in Ta- coma" said Director Durand of the cen sus bureau today "I wish you would make that plain,'' he added, flor l do not want the understanding to prevail that there has been anything like a gen. eral effort in the west to inflate the fig ures to the extent that has been shown in Tacoma"
 MT. Durand stated that in many cases the fraudulent names had been traced to individual enumerators.
