New York. Aug. 1S.-During the weeh

august position 1T times has reflected TIC
early and heavy movement of Southwest

complaints have recently been recelVh II OF
excessive damage in the Southwestern belt
and in some eastern sections or the cot
ton producing region by extremely hot ana
dry weather while in the South Central
belt there have been many complaints OF
insect depreciation and of tot li1ucn rain.
Trade conditions too. have been rather ul-
favorable in many instances there have
been further curtailment of production. Re
cent English labor troubles have also
tended to discourage the bulls. or late
the temperature in Texas and Oklahoma
have been lower and private reports froh
Texas have been Of considerably more ram
than has been shown by the oftclal reports
the heaviness of the stock market has ESQ
been used as a bearish argument as sell
ing of weakly held stocks has in many IN
stances been accompanied by the lquiua-
ton Of distressed long cotton. many stock
exchange houses in the past two years
having added cotton to their business. Yet
many crop advices have been bad and Cnt
cago has reported that there has been q
somewhat better inquiry Tor manufac-
tured goods. Rains in Louisiana, and
Arkansas have been excessive IN some
sections. alabama has complained Of in
sect damage as has also been the case ia
Mississippi and in Texas it is said that
there has been considerable damage by
drought, boil weevils and other pests. DRY
weather in India has caused reduced eSti-
mates of the crop in that country while III
Egypt there has been complaints Of insect
damage. Cotton mills at Chlcopec, MASS
and at Saco. Maine, are said to have reop-
ened. Memphis and Wall Street interests
have at times covered short commitments
as it is justly argued that the month OF
August is most critical in the life OF he
crop. During the week prices have risen
IS to 81 points with the distant positions
showing the greatest gains. OHeIlnSs or
new cotton have increased.

Must Adjust Rates by 18th
of Next Month.

WASHINGTON Oct. 26.--At the
conclusion today of the arguments in
the Pacific coast cases the commerce
court declined to grant a temporary in.
junction in the Salt Lake case at the
request of the transcontineutal carriers.
The interstate commerce commission
issued an order requiring the transcou-
tiuental railways to adjust their rates
to Utah and Nevada points so as to
avoid discrjmina tiou in favor of Pacific
coast terminals to become effective No
vember 10.
Those decisions by the commission in
volving the construction Of the long and
short haul provision OF the Interstate
commerce act were reserved for deci-
sion. but the Salt Lake case. in which
the railways had asked for au iDjunc-
tion restraining the commission from
putting into effect its order. was de-
cided by the court adversely 10 the
railways.
The other cases, including the long
pending Spokane rate case. in which the
railroads have asked for an Injunction
to prevent the commission from euforc-
ing its orders, ~robably viii be de-
cided in a few days.
