CANAL WILL MEAN
 MUCH ID SOUTH

I Atlanta, Ga, March, 9.-"The obliga- | gations of the Panama Canar' were dis cussed before the Southern Commercial Congress today by Bernard N. Baker, a Baltimore capitalist and national authoc- ity on conservation and retired steam
 ship man. This subject was assigned to MT Baker after it was found that Sen
 ator Money of Mississippi who originally
 had expected to handle It, was unable to
 attend the conference on account of il, health
 q know no way to make a greater na- tion by greater south," said MT. Bern ard "than in the south's awakening to realization of the opportunities which are before her today to secure the 'obli- gations' of the Panama canal The some- thing to be done is for every commercial body, every merchant and manufacturer and farmer to demand of their repre- sentatives in senate and house that they will make a study of the opportunities of the Panama canal and find a way to realize the obligations, especially In tho development of the export business from
 our southern ports to South America and the Orient, and not less from our south ern ports to the west coast of our own country in the coastwise trade.
 "No section of the country Is getting
 greater benefits from the canal than the south, and still our senators and con-
 gressmen will discuss for hours the ques-
 tion of some personal privilege on some
 speech for home consumption, whereas
 they could go to work and do something
 which would be of real benefit to the in
 terests of the south to prevent this. How unfortunate it Is that when they are elected senators and members of con- gress they cannot forget that they were politicians (and possibly it was neces- sary for them to be politicians to be elected to senate and house) but when they once get there if they could only forget 1t and be statesmen and work for the best interests of the whole country instead of working Tor the interests of
 Democrats, Republicans or insurgents, as they may be.
 Look at our treaty made a few days treaty we are giving to Japan all the
 use of the Panama canal and to their ships all the benefits which we may give to our own ships except in our coast wise trade; and this in the face, of the discussion by senators and congressman
 on different duties, tonnage taxes, pref erental duties, and free ships. While we are haggling because we are Demo- crats, Republicans, or Insurgents over
 the method of doing it, Japan is up ani doing. She has realized the obligations of the Panama canal 10 do something long before we awake even. Will we?"

HEAVY SELLING IN . THE WHEAT MARKET Large Farmers Holdings
 Reported MARKET IS WEAKENED General Unloading in Northwest and Crops Report From Southwest
 Shows Big Yield in
 Prospect

Chicago, March 9-Bigger stores of wheat in farmers hand than was expected led to heavy stop selling here today. The %c to 114Qssc. All other leading staples finished higher than last night. Corn and oats up a shade to M@i4c, and pro- visions a shade to 10c to 1212c.
 For May, the principal options, wheat closed at the lowest point of the session. The only important rally that took place appeared to result from temporary over exertion on the part of pit traders, who, with might and main, had been jumping on prices. There was also general un- loading by owners, especially north western people, supposed to be millers, unable otherwise to dispose of surplus cash wheat and four As if to make the situation worse from a bull standpoint, the majority of crop reports regarding the outlook from the southwest indicated bountiful yield in prospect.
 The fact that the Liverpool market failed to show as much weakness as ex- pected gave rise to some interest, but the comparative steadiness there was off, set by forecast of large shipments from India and from the Argentine. On the final decline here some good sized pur- chasing was done by a prominent bear house believed to be working for carrying charges, or with a view to damage re- ports in the future. Price changes for May varied from 8915c to 90a4@9O7sc, with the close 1A01ssc down at S91Ac.
 Mild weather giving promise that farm CTS would soon be busy with field oper- ations, instead of hauling corn to market, made that cereal strong.

New York, March 9.-The stock mar het passed through a tranquil day with nothing to disturb the dead level of prices except moderate movements in half a dozen issues. Union Pacific. Great North ern preferred and Wabash preferred gained about a point and Missouri Pa cihc lost point. The other stocks, after feasible advance, fell to. approximate ly yesterdays close. The tone was good, however, and prices did not yield in spite of lack of demand from any quarter
 Apprehensions as to possible develop ments in Mexico were allayed by the strong representations as to the peaceful attitude of Washington, and Mexican railway shares, which, although they did not recover yesterdays loss, declined no further.
 Operations on the long side of the mar ket could make no capital in the reduc- tion of the English band rate from 31s 10 per cent. The reduction already had been discounted in the London market and had no influence here or abroad. The banks reserve were increased materially by the weeks operations, so that no diff culty stood in the way of placing the off oal rate at a figure near the private loaning rates in London. The German banks weekly statement was favorable with its shrinkage in loans and increase in cash. The weeks report from the Bank of France was unusual in the large decrease, amounting to si2,24O,000 in bllls discounted. Mexican shares showed further weakness in both London and Paris today, despite favorable advices from this country.
 The call of the national Comptroller Of the Currency for statement of condi-' tions as of last Tuesday is expected to reveal a very different state of affairs than existed in the same month last year, when the enormous expansion in loans by banks in the west and southwest gave rise to much apprehension at this center.
 Foreign exchange rates were lower to- day following the reduction of the Eng fish bank rate. The change in the Eng fish rate, it Is expected, will tend to re- duce London borrowing such as has been going on recently in this market. Bonds were firm with Wabash As the fea- ture.

COTTON MARKET
 SHOWS FIRM TONE Dr0uth Is Apprehended in
 Southwest Section OLD sCROP ADVANCES Winding Up of Season in Interior Indicated By Presence of South
 ern Buyers in New York.
 Spots Unchanged

New York, March 9.-While irregular, the cotton market showed generally firm tone today and closed steady at a net advance of 13 to 19 points.
 The opening was steady at an advance of 164 points which was about as due on the cables but this slight improvement was quickly lost. under a renewal of yesterdays late selling movement.
 Around 1421c for May, however, was support from the leading bull brokers, recent sellers appeared by no means confident and the market soon rallied on moderate buying for both accounts Apprehensions that high temperatures in the southwest might be followed by drouth complaints may have accounted in some measure for the relative firm ness of the new crop positions which led the upward movement, but It seemed more probable that the appearance of supporting orders from bulls in october lead to fears that the old crop bull cam
 paign might be extended into early new crop deliveries, and started a covering movement by the short interest accumu-
 lated since Texas received good rains last February. The advance in the old crop positions had the encouragement of
 continued liberal exports, small receipts, reports of large spot sales from the New York stock and predictions that the final report of the census bureau on ginning for the season, due week from next Monday, will have bullish showing. May contracts sold to IA 40c in the latter trading or 19 points net higher, and the close was or 8 points off from the top
 under realizing. Exports for the day were about 19,000 bales in excess of the port receipts and the presence of nu-
 merous southern cotton buyers in New York is supposed to reflect the practical winding up of the season in the interior. Southern spot markets officially reported were generally unchanged.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 9.-From the opening the market showed the absence of any further liquidation, so when a demand for the new crop deliveries appeared in Europe, a recovery set in, which ad- vanced the market some 15 points.
 An increase in the exports and lighter receipts at the interior towns gave more confidence to holders of the old crop, but the principal support came from the demand for October by arbitrage brokers. refecting the demand in Europe.
 It seems probable that we shall be in fiuenced by the foreign advances, as home trade reports are so poor as t1 deter speculative buying.
