COTTON CE> ESTIMATED TO
 LE 125o,cC0 BALES.
All Fruit Crops Are Enormous-Corn Poor in Some Sections, but State
 Will Have Surplus to Sell.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 25.-The past week has just about put the fin ishing touches on the cotton crop in Arkansas, and the only fear that may be expressed by the pessimist is that it may rain during the harvest season and portion of the immense crop be lost.
 Arkansas could lose a third of the crop, or be unable to get pickers in quantities sufficient to get out that per cent, and still be ahead of the average year. The present crop IS one of the greatest the state has pro- duced, and it is conservatively esti- mated at 1,250,000 bales.
 The year has been a bountiful one for Arkansas in every way. The corn crop is not what it might be in some sections, due principally to the use of antiquated methods of farming, but there will be enough corn to feed the good stock Arkansas is now becoming famous for, with considerable left to sell to the less fortunate states.
 W It'll ei uOLCl HUI . COllOll NOIIlpl es in commission this year than were utilized in handling the 1912 crop, the car shortage situation will be ma terially lessened, but still there will be such a demand for cars that the railroads of the state will again be forced to utilize the flat cars, upon which the bales are stacked high and hauled to the compress town.
 These cars are not surrendered by the road at any time, so there will be a sufficient number of them to rush cotton from the town yards to the compress as rapidly as 1t can be han dled there. The compressing permits much more cotton to be stored in the sheds than otherwise, so that it can be taken care of until cars can be se- cured to rush it to market.
 The Arkansas peach, cantaloupe, melon and apple crops are all enor- nous. and for time this summer Arkansas controlled the market con- pletely. The apple crop is a bumper one, far different from that of 1912, when the apples suffered from blight
 Quite a furry was caused by the de- cision of Attorney-G General W. L. Moose in the case of the Southern States Cotton corporation, which of fers contracts to the farmers, offering 15 cents for their cotton, while the farmer would sell to the corporation on his own risk
 The corporation answered this by stating it had ample means to back it's contracts, and the contract was mere ly made to insure the corporation the cotton with which to meet the con- tracts it made with foreign spinners.

"If we cannot agree among our selves in relation to the kind of a cur rency law that is needed, what can we expect of congress?" he asked.
 We indorsed the Aldrich currency bill by unanimous vote, and it never got out of the committee. Now we have a chance to get bill passed and we should endeavor to get the best measure possible under the circum- stances. There already have been 500 changes made In the bill since it was introduced, and I believe we can ger many more if we go about it in the right way"

MEXICO MAY SEND
 ENVOY ID WILSON
,,vrIy NOT TO BE RECEIVED
 INlEss PREPARED TO AC- cEPT U. S. DEMANDS.
p,omised Message Will Be Read Tues day Unless Definite Developments Toward Quick Solution of
 Tansle Are Apparent.

wosbineton. Aug. 25.-Develop. uonts in the Mexican situation are moving swiftly toward a point which officials expect to determine whether proSident Wilson would read his spe- cal message to congress Tuesday. Di' .oo, adyices from Mexico City that provisional President Huerta might oisb to reconsider his rejection of the American proposals before President Wilson laid the negotiations bare be- fore the world have changed the sit nation and the presidents plans are contingent upon the moves of the next few hours.
 President Wilson interrupted work m his message long enough to get a fev hours recreation on the golf links It is his usual weekend di- version and the president seldom per mits anything to interfere with it.
 Huerta Seeking Delay. Suggestions have been made to the Washington government since the ex- change of notes which indicate a ten dency on the part of the Huerta of fcials to delay the issue. The pub llshed report in Mexico City that Emilio Rabasa would be sent to Wash ington by Huerta on a confidential mission Is credited here to the extent that it Is known that Huerta has un- der consideration a plan to send an envoy to the United States to talk un- officially with President Wilson just as John Lind did with Huerta. It is believed, however, that Fred erico Gamboa, minister of foreign re- lations would be the man chosen by Huerta for the mission if such is in tended.
 whether such a suggestion would meet the approval of the United
The Prescott daily news., 1913-08-25

States is not known as yet, but as evi- dencng a desire to reconsider the first rejection of the American pro- posals the news is regarded as of much significance.
 That the American government, however, will not yield from its posi- tion that Huerta must be eliminated as a factor in the situation is likely to be made plain to the Mexico City administration before Gamboa comes, so that his mission would constitute d supplementary procedure to bring about such an understanding.
 In many quarters, however. the sending of an envoy to talk with President Wilson is regarded as an effort to delay the plans of the Ameri. can government, Something definite, however, is being awaited by the United States and it is unlikely that this government will wait beyond Monday for tangible evidence on the part of the Huerta government to re cede from its position.
 The present intention is to have President Wilson proclaim in the mes sage to congress on Tuesday the poli- cies the United States will pursue and which the nations of the world, it is expected here, will firmly support

REYNOLDS LEADS CONSERVA. TIVES IN CHICAGO AFTER
 TALK WITH M'ADOO.
CONCESSIONS ARE ASSURED
Change of Spirit First Noticed in Financiers When They Reject Forgan's Resolution Attack
 ing Currency Bill.

| Chicago, Aug. 25.-GeOrge M. Key. holds, president of the Continental and Commercial bank of Chicago, | end leader of the conservative ele- ment in the bankers conference on | the Ower-Giass currency bill, is re- | sponsible fer the resolution adopted pledging cooperation with President Wilson in currency reform.
 A resolution memorializing congress to postpone currency action until a committee had drafted new bill, of tered by James B. Forgan, president of the First National bank of Chi cago, was rejected by the resolutions committee. The Forgan resolution was said to represent the attitude of the more radical opponents of the Owen-Glass bill.
 The Forgan adherents seemed to have been in the majority in the con vention of bankers until Mir. Reynolds had told of conference with Secre- tary McAdoo. He was summoned to New York last Wednesday to see the secretary of the treasury, and he re- turned to Chicago confident that the administration would make several concessions in the final draft of the Owen-Glass bill.
 Cancellation Advised.
 "Many amendments to the original bill already have been made" he said. Several important defects pointed out by us have been correct ed. and I think that we can get other concessions if we go about it in a spirit of cancellation and compromise and express willingness to meet the government half way.
 "I have had considerable contact with those in control of this bill in congress, and have found they are willing to listen and want to be fair.
 "We probably will not be able to get everything we want, but we may get legislation on the subject.
 "I believe we can get the number of federal reserve banks reduced from 12 to five or six. 1 believe we can  have changes made in the wording of the clause referring to the cha of the federal reserve board, which will remove it from politics. believe we can have the advisory committee of bankers clothed with the power of veto in connection with the manage ment of the reserve banks"
 Mir. Reynolds was vigorously ap- plauded. and a moment lator the atti- tude of the bankers toward the new currency bill had changed from oppo- sition to willingness to compromise.
 Festus J. Wade, president of the Mercantile Trust company of St. Louis, also urged policy of concilia- tion and indorsed everything MT. Key holds had said.
 Wade Opposes Delay.

WHEN JACK HAYDEN LOST.
Connie Mack Became fluffy and Fired
 Ball Player.

Connie Mack is a most even tenn pered manager, so they say. The lead CT of the Athletics was never known to lose his sweet disposition except on one occasion. And that was when he had to fire Jack Hayden off his ball club. Yet Jackeriono Hayden, man ager of the Louisville Colonels. heard the tinking of the hardware when he booted a game away for the White Elephants. That was back in 1901 an even dozen years ago, when MT Hayden was just starting out upon his baseball career. Be it said right here that this little incident got Mir Hayden's angora. After that Jack couldn't catch ball in a busheI bas- ket. His hitting kept right up to the standard, however.
 The climax came over in Washing ton later in the season. The Athletics were romping through and had a 3 to lead when the fifth inning arrived. In this great fifth round, two of the Nationals managed to get on the paths Someone hit a fly to left center Mir, Hayden tried to take 1t, but made a. miserable effort. The pellet struck him on the back of the head, every body scoring. Plank then made an ascension. The score was tied. Here we quote Hayden:
 Plank got to the bench first" said Jack, and of course, he didn't say a word. Connie reached down in his pocket, took out 8 dime, and presented it to Plank. When Eddie locked up.

New York, March 3-Operations on the long side of the stock market were conducted confidently today For the present, at least, there is a reaction few weeks.

This show ing of strength was impressive enough to drive the bear traders to cover. The coppers, coa1ers, Pacif1cs and Steel were in especially strong demand There was some profit taking toward the close. which sealed down prices from the best figures of the day
 It was assumed that national poll in the talk of the street, although there was disposition today to take a. cheerful view of the immediate out look Political considerations have cline of the last few weeks that the traders were inclined to await definite indications of the attitude of the new administration before entering upon extended new commitments.
 An important factor in the day's advance was London buying. Ama1- ganated was in especially good de- mand abroad and there was consider able buying of Steel. Canadian Pa cffic and Erie.
 The advance in the copper stocks was in sequence to the rise in the metal markets. London reported a considerably higher range of prices and in the domestic market there was a stronger tone. The fortnightfy re- port of European supply of the metal showed a small decrease, in spite Of heavy shipments abroad recently.
 The worldwide demand for money and the poor showing of the banks last week were reflected in the strong tone of the money market. Call funds opened at 1-2 per cent. There was some calling of loans by banks whose reserves were dep1eted.-e
