likely to cause a draw back to the move

the bulls would continue in control.
Wheat was quiet, but strong and

caused a price setback after the early

were smaller than a year ago.
Oats were &c lower and fairly active
Hogs were Toe higher at the yards and
prices in all the produce pits were sharp

pressure late in the day, not only from

Athens Ex-MayOr
To Be Postmaster

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1S-Post-
master General Burleson has asked
William Fleming, postmaster at Ath-
ems. Ga. for his resignation, at the
request of Representative Tribble,
who has recommended that the place
be given to Jephtha H. Rucker for
mer Mayor of Athens and a former
member of the General Assembly.
Fuckers appointment will be an
nounced in a few days, as both SEN
ators have indorsed him.
The removal of Fleming means the
end Of the policies inaugurated in the
Athens office years ago by Matt Da-
Wis, the negro postmaster appointed
by Harrison. Davis was succeeded
by Pink Morton, also negro, ap-
pointed by Mckinley.
Ten years ago Representative Trib-
BILE took up the fight against Morton
and succeeded in oustin@ him soJn
after Theodore Roosevelt became
President Mr.. Roosevelt appointed
Fleming, a white man.
Tribble. however, was not satisfied
with Fleming, who continued some Of
Mortons policies by retaining negto
carriers.

Eastern Spinners Buy Large Part
Of 0fferings-Spot People
Were Sellers,

suited in first prices being to IT points

near positions showed most strength.
Cables were strong Much attention
was attracted to spot sales, which were
the largest Of the year, being Is 900
bales, of which s,1O0 were American
The weather map was favorable and
after the call the list was under general
profit taking Some brokers closely
identified with the spot interests were
among the leading sellers. This class
of selling had the effect of depressing
prices some to % points from the
opening quotations within the first hour
of trading
Sentiment continues bullish, but some
conservative operators advise profit TAX
ing on advances.
Continued selling by spot people,
which was said TO represent hedges
against spot cotton some of which was
selling by Liverpool and buying in the
local market. The bearish element con-
TENDS that further hedge selling will
bring about a healthy reaction The
bulls, however. are confident of their
position, and bought rather freely. A
large part of the buying was credited
to Eastern spinners and this class Of
buying is the real backbone of the bull
campaign.
Crop advices east of the river were
very favorable, but west of the river
reports were to the effect that consider
able DANCE has been caused by the
excessive rains, the extent of which is
not yet realized. Despite unfavorable
crop news, the majority OF operators
seem to be playing for a reaction.
