low 100000 bales, but the conser-
vative portion of the trade lie wary
about accepting them as yet. 1t Is
realized by everybody, however, that
chances are good for the total yield
to be below that amount, depending
to some extent on the weather during
the period of saving the portion yet
unpicked.> Talk of above 14,50O,000
bales is generally derided.
Spinners continue buying conserva-
lively. The prospect for trade Is
either not so good as has been
thought, or the mill people have not
come to the conclusion that the crop
will be as small as is believed in the
belt.
Business in the actual has been
moderate during the week, with prices
disposed to sag just a little in SYM
pathy with the reactionary trend Of
futures. There has been little dispo-
sition on the part of producers to
hold, yet concessions have been
granted with some degree of hesita-
ton. Some OF the local buyers have
said during the past few days that
the eastern belt had been more will
ing to sell at a lower level than those
in other sections, due to the larger
yield in the east.
Passing of the worst stage Of
weather damage complaints and the
fact that the bull news had been
largely discounted has given bears q
chance for some aggressive efforts,
and they have made some use of 1t.
Sentiment, however, continues to he

Adjournment Of Ways and Means
Committee Indication Of Victory
for Leader Underwood,

WASHINGTON, Nov. President
Wilson will not ask Congress to re-
peal the per cent tariff differential
in favor of American ships.
Leader Underwood has adjourned
Indefinitely the Ways and Means
Committee. This committee has
charge OF any changes in the tariff
law, and Its adjournment by Mr.. I'm
derwood the chairman, indicates that
no changes are to be made In the
tariff law or in any revenue measures
now on the statute books
Underwood wrote into the tariff law

the upbullding Of the American mer-
chant marine
Committee Behind Underwood.
The Ways and Means Committee
has been held by him for some weeks
so that It could take up such changes
In the administrative features of the
new law as should be found 'neces-
sary.
Underwood Is opposed to a repeal
of the per cent defferential. His
committee IS behind him to man.
The State Department officials I'M
der President Taft decided that such
discrimination would not violate
any eSlSLlnR commercial treaty, IN
derwood had the help of this special
State Department commission in
drafting the section OF the law.
Secretary McAdoo, of the Treasury,
who suspended the operation of the
discriminating duty, is now working
out q plan for enforcement Of the
law. Mr.. Underwood says he can
see no reason why such provision
in the law can not be enforced
Car Make New Treaties.
Attorney General McReynolds, to
whom this 5 per cent provision of
the tariff law has been referred by
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo,
Will hold that 1t conflicts with some
Of the commercial foreign treaties,
but Underwood will insist that the
law be applied,
New treaties may be made neces-
sary, but they can be negotiated by
the State Department, in the opinion
OF House leaders without special
act of Congress, and without change
in the tariff law.

Banker Urges Export
Tax to Keep Gold Here
J. e. Gardin Says President Should
Have Power TO Stop Recur-
rent Foreign Raids.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ito protect
Americas stock Of gold against for
eign banking raids, an export tax
should be leviable by the President
This was advocated by Vice Presi-
dent John T. Gardin, Of the National
city Bank, before the Academy OF
Political Science.
He said: The United States is the
only absolutely free market for gold in
the world, and VIC have to suffer for
our liberality.
II conditions are normal and ex-
changes are against US, 1t would
neither be wise nor good business
policy to place any restrictions upon
the export OF gold at all.
IF the demand, however, 10 arbi-
trary, such az recently took place in

TARIFF AND PIPE.MAkEes.

In view Of the increasing popularity
Of English-made pipes, even under the
old tariff, domestic manufacturers are
apprehenslve concerning the result OF
the reduction in duty on pipes from 60
to SO per cent In addition, there is
now tax of 81 a pound on raw am
Der and amberoid, which under the for
mer tariff was duty free, and another
which was also on the free list II is
thought likely, however, that the tax on
amber will act as a spur TO the produc-

After giving a description of Southern battlefelds and the remarkable victory of Lookout Mountain, Rev. MT. Nuzum referred to the great questions of the present day. He took sides with the Californians in their alien land legis- Iation affecting the Japanese on the ground that the Japanese were not yet sufficiently divorced from their Orien- tai traditions to absorb the American idea. He emphatically protested against the union of church and state, the use of public money for denonin- ational schools, the sectarianism that takes the Bible out of the public schools and the evils of graft, greed and the liquor traffic.
