New Orleans. Nov. 7.-Cotton fu-
lures opened steady at decline of
to 10 points on poor cables, a good
weather map and a crop estimate of
15,340,000 bales by local crop expert
Bears offered short cotton freely on
this estimate, but the market was well
supported by the bull side who put
out many kilograms criticizing the
figures. Around the call the trading
months were to IL points under the
close of yesterday, but the market
did better a little later and at the
end of the first half hour of business,
prices were to 4 points under yes
terday's last quotations.
A crop estimate of IL, 900 bales
from a London authority gave the
market a very steady tone around the
middle of the morning. The decline
OF the early trading was recovered and
a small net advance brought about
Late in the morning the market was
further strengthened by the pointer to
very large mill takings for the week,
Hester's forecast being 452, 900 to 1872
900 bales against 81, 900 this week last
year and 374, 900 this week two years
ago. On this showing prices stood at
noon 6 to 8 points over yesterdays
last quotations.

Apparently the last legislature pass

there was provision that arguments
might be filed on all referred bills up to

all arguments must be filed within 70
days after the filing of the petition.
As result Of this it is now too late to
file the arguments and so there is only
one bill that will have the argument at
tached to the ballot, and that the U. of
