After I was elected to the legislature

everything that had been published on

pared before any state had passed an
anti-pass law. I wrote it and rewrote
1t before the legislature met. and
brought it to Pierre with me.
Richards never saw the bill or anv
draft of it until it was printed as a
bill IN h legislature. He never adj
disparagingly OF it. 1t is remarkahie
n he should now be claiming credit
for the bill that he belittled at a time
when commentator would have been
welcome"

market at the close showed net declines
of 1h@214c, with September here los
ing about half its premium over Chi
cago. Exporters are said TO be selling
and the extent of the congestion of
supplies is shown by the estimate that
stocks at the Atlantic seaboard now
amount to about 100000 bushels,
with large quantities in transit. Small
stocks of corn, free buying by the

COTTON MARKET
QUIETING DOWN
Old Commitments Narrowing
A. Barton Hepburn on the
. Situation.

There was less activity in the matter
Of evening up and ringing out old COM
mitments on the Cotton Exchange yes
terday, suggesting that the bulk of the
interest willing to liquidate voluntarily
had been adjusted This is supposed to
have materially reduced outstanding
accounts, but there may still be some
Continental straddle interest, and the
difficulty in closing out such contracts
is naturally increased by the absence
Of cable connections. Beyond the fur
Their adjustment Of speculative commit
ments there appeared to be no material
change in the situation, and the inter
est of the trade still centres on the
possibility of an export outlet for the
coming crop.
Advices received here state that the
Pacific Mail steamships will continue
their scheduled sailings, and it is pre-
dicted that Japan will greatly increase
her purchases Of American cotton this
season, while many believe that domes-
tic mills will find it profitable to run
overtime, and estimates as to their
possible consumption range all the way
from 100000 to 100000 bales, COM
pairing with an estimated consumption
Of about 100000 bales this season.
CHAIRMAN a. DdTbOH IlepUuAu VI bHe
Chase National Bank, however, has
been quoted to the effect that the South
is giving itself much unnecessary worry
over the crop outlet
European manufacturers" he says,
"may not require the usual amount Of
cotton, but American manufacturers
will require it all 1t is inevitable that
all oversee trade Of Germany will be
at the mercy Of any nation that first
seeks it, and can best serve the former
patrons Of Germany. OF all nations,
Mr. Hepburn continues, "the United
States is in the best position to take
and held this trade. Merchants, manu-
facturers, bankers and statesmen
should work together for that purpose.
Our cotton should go abroad, not as
raw material but as finished product,
and when the war in Europe Is over we
should hold largely the trade that is
now waiting 20 fall in our hands"
Southern weather advices were gen
orally favorable, with private wires re-
porting rains in time to help late cot
ton to some extent. The spot cotton
business, as we'll as futures, is at prac-
tically a standstill for the time being.
Arkansas bankers have asked Secretary
NcAdoo to increase their allotment of
