COTTON GOSSIP

1t is rumored from the Southwest that
banks are calling loans on cotton.
A Dig IeXas spot man, who was prob
ably the largest buyer of cotton in that
state during September, has written
friend IN Hanover Square that the quail
lty or the cotton now coming in is so
bad that he has decided not TO handle ii
at all. He has closed his books for the
season and withdrawn from the market,
pre1errlng to let others assume what he
considers the large risk of buying such
cotton in expectation of reselling it.
Dallas wired: Think Texas is good
for 100000 bales, but lots of low
grades: Looks like 500, 900 for Okla
homa.'
Reports from Manchester are any
thing but cheerful" according to one of
the largest Liverpool firms. Sellers of
american yarns find it difficult to trade
A few mills using American cotton have
commenced to work short time 1t
would not be surprising to see organ
lZed short time next January, but the
fine spinning trade is good"
Journal of Commerce says: 1.-THE
market on cotton goods firm. The re-
ports of cotton condition do not give
promise of an abundant crop of cotton
and merchants are becoming reconciled
to the probability of hard year OF trad
ing, due to the high price of raw ma
terial. The trend of buying has be-
come conservative. More goods are
wanted by jobbers and converters."

GRAIN NOTES
Flour mills are buying wheat at Min
neapolis.

Flour mills are buying wheat at Min
neapolis.
Finley Darrell & Co. says: 1.-THE
whole trouble with corn is that every
one is playing for break and is short
little corn"
From the recent low price corn has
advanced about 4Ac per bushel and
oats &c. AS in wheat. most interests
are inclined to regard the technical po-
sition of the market as mainly respon-
sible for the bulge.
James A. Patten Is credited with stat
ing that c. G. Gates sold out a line of
three quarters of a million bushels of
corn at a substantial profit just before
leaving for his last hunting trip, and
that his open commitments in the mar
ket were practically nil at the time of
his death.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
Wheat bulls had II last night that the
market is taking care of itself as well
as they expected, and there is little
pressure of actual wheat. The Argen-
tine crop scare season is on and until
there is certainty as to the outcome
there, trade is disposed to go slow on
the selling side.
Sentiment among the corn trade is
more bullish than bearish. but those who
watched the trdle Tor the last rev Gays
saw that most of the business is profess
sional."
Bartlett, Frazier Company says:
"Wheat--At the moment we do not
look for any particular change in prices
"Corn-Local sentiment is generally
bearish and much stress IS being laid on
the weakness in Liverpool but we do
not see that this really affects our own
home situation.
"Oats-Market shows no rallying
power, due to continued heavy stocks
in sight and offerings from Canada.
Professionalism investment de
mand exists for the deferred futures
of all products"
OKLAHOMA State wires: "Oklahoma's
November report by King, OF Toledo.
makes corn yield 15k bushels per acre,
against Il bushels in October. The

NEW YORK, Nov. IA strong tone

Amalgamated Copper.

That politics is not "au ingratitude
and benefits forgot" is demonstrated
IN the cordial support of Roscoe Luke
for Congress in the Second District
by the Roddenbery following.
Pretty soon after the campaign
opened it was stated throughout the
district that Luke would not receive
or. at least, might not receive-the
support of the late Congressman Rod
denbery's brothers, notwithstanding
the fact that Roddenbery and Luke
had been bosom friends during the
lifetime of the Congressman, and that
Luke had managed some important
details Of Roddenbery's wonderful
fights for victory before the people.
In recent publication the late Con-
gresham Roddenberys brother gave
out a statement of which the fol-
lowing is an extract:
Il am not undertaking to manage
anybodys campaign, and don't want
to pose as trying to boost any can
didate by appealing to the highly
priced friendship OF the people of the
Second Congressional District for my
beloved brother, the late Congress-
man, but ! am openly and conscien-
tlouSly supporting Mr.. Luke in his
race for Congress, and never hesitate
to let my position be known in mat
ters Of public veal. 1t is well known
that Mr. Luke was the stanch and
trusted friend of my brother, AM
derson, for years, and during each of
his campaigns for Congress Mr.. Luke
rendered him more valuable assist
ance than any other one man, and
their friendship was never broken"
The race in the Second is not a
cinch for anybody. Judge Park has
many friends and well wishers, and
Judge Covington is Smelling the
to those who profess to know what
is what" in the Second that Luke
has shade the hest Of the fight thus
far
He is likely TO win" say the ma
jority of those who come TO Atlanta
from that vicinity.
And, anyway, the firm support Of
the Roddenbery strength in the Sec
ond is proving to be a tower Of
strength to the Townsville man.
One of the speakers at the recent
Atlanta dinner to Judge Newman, of
the Federal Court, was former Rep
resentative William A. Charters, OF
Gainesville, and they do say that
Charters made about the best and
most pleasing speech of the evening,
moreover!
Certain it is that there is not in all
Northeast Georgia more able man
than Charters, and he Is not a man.
either, who does a great deal OF talk
ing. What Charters said Of Judge
Newman no doubt came straight from
the Charters heart-there is bond
of genuine affection existing between
the two men.
Charters is being mentioned for
Congress again in the Ninth, by the
way, and If he runs he will have, of
course, loyal and faithful follow
ing. He is full Congressional size.
j. Walter Wise again will be a
for Congress from the Sixth
District. The former Solicitor Cen
eral Of the Flint Circuit states that
he is already in the race. His formal
