INVITED TO CONFER WITH PEN.
sAcoLA COMMERCIAL AssocIA-
TON.

Pensacolians who intend attending
the Panama Pacific international En-
position at San Francisco may find 1t
to their advantage to confer with the
Pensac cola Commercial Association, as
this organization will take pleasure in
forwarding names to the proper au
thorities in order that they may be
supplied with literature and other de-
sirable information.
It is also possible that the CONNER
cial Association will take up the mat
ter of forming an association for the
purpose Of securing reduced rates.
A letter from the chief of the de-
partment Of domestic exploitation Of
the Panama-Pacif1c International Ex-
position, San Francisco, Cal. to the
Pensacola Commercial Association,
states:
THE completed exposition will not
only be a thing Of marvellous beauty,
but, what is more important, within
its exhibit palaces will be represented
the very sum of human achievement
in all that makes for the comfort, hap
piness and betterment of mankind and
the progress of the world.
There are many people in your To-
cality who will attend this exposition,
not only because of their pride as
Americans in the event which it cele-
brates, but because they well under
stand that such an exposition as this
will be an educational opportunity
probably never occurring again.
IF those who are contemplating
coming to the exposition will organize
themselves into an association, we will
| be pleased to put them on our mailing
/ list to receive all printed matter which
/ we may issue, so that they may be
kept informed of its progress. 1t is
also our present intention to later send
out properly equipped lecturers, in
which event we will be pleased to in
| clude on their itineraries such cities
as have formed associations.
TT viii readily occur to you that the
| formation Of such associations will re-
suit in considerable advantage to the
members, as it will enable them to get
reduced rates from railroads, steam
ship companies and hotels, beside at
! ding the pleasure of having friends
and acquaintance as travelling COM
panions."
| If Pensacola citizens who anticipate
visiting the exposition will send in
| their names to the secretary of the
Pensacola Commercial Association,
| they will be forwarded to the proper
authority in order that they may re-
| cc.ve literature, etc. If thought best
/ at a later time, an association will be
| formed in order that cheaper rates
and other accommodations may be Sc.
cured.

BEARS HAVE INNING
IN COTTON MARKET
GOOD WEATHER AND ACREAGE Is
INMATES CAUSE DECLINE.
THE SALES WERE HEAVY
Rains Predicted for the Eastern Part OF
Belt Did Not F&il-Favorable
Conditions in West, Except
for Low Temperatures.

New York.-The cotton market made
. sharp decline owing to further good
weather and lower cables from Liverpool
than were expected. Although a rally
occurred during the afternoon in which
the market regained from 2 to Z points
of the lost ground, it was unable to
make up all the loss and closed from IL
to 16 points below the final price of Tues
day.
The market opened with the October
option 5 points down, or 11.54 cents.
On the weather report and the lower
cables liquidation began and the market
dropped. A very bearish acreage report
from the Financial Chronicle, whose esti-
mate always has its effect o. the market,
helped the bearish sentiment. The Chorn-
icle placed the acreage at $685., III, or
a reduction from last year of only " of
1 per cent. The general private estimate
had placed the reduction at from 6 to 3
per cent, so that such an estimate from
an authority with a large following I'M
doubleday mad ltS eHecC. but perhaps
the largest factor was the weather con-
dition over the cotton belt.
From the west more rains were -e-
ported in Texas and Oklahoma was re-
ported fair. The principal drawback in
the weather in that section was low
temperatures, which were too low for
the good of the crop. Warmer weather
is forecasted for that part of the belt.
Sales in the New York market were
heavy at the opening figures. Many re-
cent buyers placed their options on the
market and shorts sold in the expecta-
ton of lower levels. Offerings were
taken rather promptly and the tone Of
the market at the close was very steady
