it would have effected in the admins
trative features of the law. but because
IL contained the illiteracy test. a pro-
vision that would have gone a long way
toward reducing the economically unde-
sirable portion of our immigration
The immigration bill vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft will be re-introdueed IN the
Senate today substantially in the form it
passed Congress last year, except that
the literary test will be omitted.
Senator Dillingham;, of Vermont. who
was chairman of the Senate Committee
on immigration in the last Congress. Will
introduce the bill. 1t is likely that the
same bill will be re-introduced in the
House shortly by Representative Burnett
of Alabama. who elaborated with Mr..
Dillingham; on the bill in the last Con-
gress This bill. II enacted into law, will
materially reduce the immigration from
Southern and Eastern Europe and West
ern Asia
President Taft vetoed the bill In the
last Congress because of the literacy test.
In lieu Of the literacy test the new bill
contains a restrictive feature which pro-
vides that the number of immigrants Of
any nationality admitted In any fiscal
year shall not exceed 10 per cent Of the
number of actual residents of such ma
tIOuduIy. cACluSlNr OF NlcllOIc. puI
not less than 5000 of any nationality In
any fiscal year.
Countries of the Western hemisphere
are exempted from the provision. Ma
tionafity for purposes of the act shall
be determined by country OF birth rather
than country Of residence. The Secretary
Of Labor is given discretion to admit n
excess of the limit whenever in his judy
ment the interests of humanity require
IT.
According to information compiled by
Senator Dillingham, who framed the bill.
based on the immigration experience OF
the past ten years, the total Immigration
from Southern and Eastern Europe
would be reduced about 10000 annually
and the number OF aliens coming from
Northern and Western Europe might be
increased two-thirds.
The heaviest reduction would fall on
Austria Italy, Greece, and
Turkey.
In a statement accompanying the Dill
senator Diinhgham explains the PROBABLE
effect OF the measure IN the Following
WORDS:
The average annual immigration from
during the past ten
years has been approximately $4,000, but
uhoer thc phi Immigration from that
country would be limited to $4,000 an.
nually. at least until the census of 1870
afforded g new basis for computation.
Immigration from Italy has averaged
100000 annually, but future immigration
from that country would be limited to
about 134,5oo. while Greece would be
limited to 10000. as compared with an
average Of about 5000 In recent years
Apparently immigration from Turkey
would be cut down about one-half. OF
all the principal sources of Southern and
Eastern Europe immigration, Russia
alone would seem to be little affected.

WASHINGTON. Sept 3O.-Mean tenn

Oklahoma and the northwestern part Of
east Texas Weekly mean tempera-
lures ranged from so to rs over the
eastern, from Sc to 76 over the CEN

lowest mean temperature, 60 degrees,
occurred at Asheville. n. G., and Ben

Tampa. Fla.
Light frost occurred in the interior Of
North Carolina.
General rains fell over the western
and central portions of the cotton re
giOn, where the amounts were excess
i've IN many localities, but over the
eastern portion there was little or no
precipitation. The precipitation exceed
ed two inches over the greater portion

100000 CottonBales
Ginned to Sept. %

MEMPHIS, Sept. so B. Turner,
through Miller Cotter, gives the re.
turns from gins throughout the cot
ton belt an approximate total to Sep
TENDER IS Of 8. 1863 600 bales.
AS Is well known, the influence Of
weather on picking and ginning is con-
siderable, and while the period since
September l has been marked by many
heavy rains in the western belt, and TO
a smaller extent in the Mississippi Val
ley, It does not appear that. on the
whole, the period was markedly I'M
favorable in comparison with last sea
son.
In fact, It appears to have been
rather more propitious in the eastern
States. where last season heavy rains
or showers were practically COntin-
uOus from September 4 to l6.
From September IS to 20 the rains
moved into Alabama and the Mississippi
Valley and were quite general The
western belt had much less rain last
year but in the present season has
had much more cotton open for pickers;
in fact. in all sections more cotton
was ready to be picked than during
the same period last year

Below 1850 for January,

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Liverpool ca
bles were unsatisfactory at the opening
of the cotton market to-day and first
prices were at a net decline of to u
points from last nights close. The I'M
dertone was steady on reports of heavy
rains over the central and eastern belts.
Weakness in Liverpool was attributed
to rumOrs of an impending strike in
Lancashire and to Southern selling

final
The buIlish operators thought that a
reaction was due and liquiGated, with
the end in view of replacing their sold
out lines at lower levels.
The decline came in the face of IA
vorable news regarding the anu-opuon
bill. 1t is said the House is in favor
OF the Smith Lever amendment, as OPP
posed to the drastic Clarke amendment.
1t is said, however. that serious dead
| lock at Washington is in sight. How
ever, every delay in the matter of the
tax is regarded as strengthening the po-
sition Of the conservatives in the House,
who favor the Smith-Lever BILL which
rs also a strong bull card.
The bear has had his own trouble,
with the frosty weather, bad crop ad-
vices and Liverpool booming. etc. The
question at the moment is, which is to
be uppermost this week as factor con
trolling the market, the weather or the
tax news? 1t is likely to be one or the
other Both are liable to work the same
way. with the latter having a shade the
better. as the weather man promises
clearing skies.
During the late forenoon professional
selling depressed January to 1850, but
at this point resting orders, attributed
