BULLS ARE NERVOUS
Bears Admit That Deterioration of Crops Is Still Going On-De- mand for Spot Cotton
 to Be Better

New Orleans, August D.--This week the cotton market will have big factor to face, which will eclipse everything else nj interest and in influence on prices the question of how much the cotton crop has deteriorated since the government s last report on condition since July 5.
 The weekend circulars from commits sion houses made it apparent that the local trade is of the opinion that the strikes in England will have more eff fest on the cotton manufacturing indus try of England than they had last week, for the simple reason that more mills will be closed down. This would result in smaller spot trading in the Liverpool mar ket and decrease in English mill talk ings. N hich would in turn cause weekend statistics to look bearish. AS long as the labor troubles in England continue the bears will have powerful weapon in their hands.
 The bullish element in the market is somewhat nervous over the possibility that Germany may take advantage of England's internal disturbances to reopen the Moroccan question in decided way. This possibility was commented on quite freely in several of the weekly market letters from local firms.
 Balancing the situation on the other side of the water will be the accounts of August deterioration of the growing crop. Even the bears are willing to acknowledge that the crop has gone off in condition, and the bulls claim that deterioration is still going on The pe- rlod to be considered in the next gov einment report on condition will end next Friday, and weather conditions will be watched very closely up to that date. It will be very difficult to bring about much of temporary decline or a permanent decline while this condition report is in tho way.
 The demand for spot cotton promises to be Letter this week, and this will un- doubtedly result in an increased move ment to ports. especially to Galveston. A better spot demand will intensity the ef- feet of crop deterioration accounts At the same time the bear side will endeavor to make capital out of the larger move rnent. It promises to be two-sided mar ket for some time to come

Anniston, August 20.-(Special.) )-Much interest has been manifested here in the anniversary celebration at Hobson City, the negro town on the southern outskirts of this city, on next Thursday, when the twelfth year of the citys autonomy will be commemorated, and not the least interesting feature of the celebration will be addresses by three ex-mayors of the town, J.

 Hobson City-the first exclusively me- gro town In the United States-is said to be the only municipality of the kind suc- cessfully operated. Very good order is maintained by the negroes, and 1t is be- lieved that another attempt will not be made. as formerly, to wipe out their system of government, as long as this condition prevails. Last year an arrest was made there, which established prec- edent, it is said. The victims were two Cleburne county moonshiners who were arrested in the negro town on a charge of selling liquor to the negroes in vio- laton of the prohibition law. The white men were arrested by a negro officer. compelled to spend the night in a negro jail and were tried the next day before negro mayor.
