Difference of Opinion

There is difference in opinion whether it will be necessary to suspend trading on the exchange until the close of the war, or at least until the London markets re- open. In some quarters the view was expressed that to reopen the exchange in advance of London would be to invite resumption on an enormous scale by for eign holders of American securities such al demoraized the stock exchange last July.
 Several members of the exchange said today, however that in their opinion the market might be reopened safely with in a comparatively short timc should the railroads obtain higher rates. the financial conditions continue to improve and the countrys export trade expand sufficiently to pile up credits abroad and avert the danger of further large gold exports.

SOME EARLY GLIMPSES
 AT NEXT LEGISLATURE
Dr. Speir Desires a Free. Intelligent and Inform ing" Investigation of the COnivct Department.
Ny HUGH w. ROBERTS

From 1900 10 1904 there was at the 1 University of Alabama a very quiet,
 unobtrusive, likable and intelligent
 young man. He had a pleasant way of greeting his fellow students He
 was one of the few who were able to
 retain. the friendship of bon vivants
 without abandoning his serious course in life, and without partaking of food highly spiced and red wine or any
 other wine. His name was Speir Ross
 Speir. At the present time, he is a
 practicing physician at Furman. and will represent Wilcox county in the
 next regular session of the legislature. l Dr. Speir will report for duty with the spirit of humility. effectiveness
 and impartiality.' He has had no ex-
 perience in lawmaking. and will ap-
 proach his work with an idea that 1t is
 a sacred obligation. There is no ques- I ton but he will give the state his very best service, and that his every vote will be cast in accordance with the dio- tates of his conscience.
 It Is natural, therefore, that Dr. Speir should desire full, intelligent and in forming investigation of the convict de- partment of the state, and especially of the scandal which occurred in that de- partment in 1913, the scandal which is still the subject of practically every conversation bearing on state matters.
 Dr. Sper will introduce a bill provid-
 ing for such an investigation, and he
 will be actuated not by any desire to
 wreak vengeance on anyone, or unnec- essary subject anyone to the calcium s
 glare. He will proceed on the ground
 of his belief that the whole story should be told.
 In answer to The Age -Herald's ques- tion regarding the wisdom or lack of
 wisdom of further attempting to legis- late concerning the liquor traffic, Dr. Speir replied that he thought no further legislation necessary save only to the extent of permitting wet" counties to vote dry if they so desire, and if they already are deprived of that right by faux pas in legislation. Later, on the | same subject, he said:
 T have kept away from the ever vital question of prohibition. because whenever it is mentioned, it invariably demands and receives undivided atten- | tion, and all other matter, it matters not how important, are relegated to the rear. I have been lifelong abstainer. and would like to pay tax on Hour or some other commodity for the purpose | of aiding in raising such revenue ! that it would be wise to bring about national prohibition of the manufacture
 of and traffic in liquors. Under the present conditions in Alabama, local op- | tion seems more desirable and more in
 accord with the majority sentiment" | Asked if he favored female suffrage,
 he replied in such way that one must i judge that up tc the present time, he | has not made up his mind. For he answ cred. "yes and no" He is in ia | vor of the gradual elimination of the | convict lease system in Alabama and
 would support bill providing that a 1 fraction of the earnings of convict be
 turned over by the state to the family

MANY SEEKING INFORMATION ON
 COTTON EXCHANGE
Probable Time for Reopen ing of Exchange Unknown. Much Depends Upon Out
 come of Rate Contest

New York October 13.-From all parts of the country inquiries are coming to Wall street concerning the prospects of the estimation of official quotations on securities and the probable time for re- opening of the exchange The exchange ruled today that 1t will permit dealings among members in listed guaranteed stocks at price concessions, but in all probability no quotations would be given officially until the stock market re- sumes operations. When that will be is no clearer than when the market was closed two and one-half months ago.
 Much Depends on Outcome
 It was said generally in the financial district that more depended on the out come of the application of the eastern railroads for freight rate increase than any other factor, excepting perhaps the duration of the European war. In the view of Wall street the existing railroad situation has passed beyond the question of valuation of railroad holdings and has become merged with every phase of busi- ness. This is the view which is to be presented to the interstate commerce com mission when railroads next week again state their case in Washington. Rec ogrized authorities on economics have been engaged by the railroads to present their arguments to the interstate com- merce commission. The depreciation of railroad securities, it is argued, affects al, classes of semi-public institutions such as savings banks, insurance com panies and colleges whose investments in large part is placed in transporta- tion companies. To re-establish public confidence in these investments the first essential, in Wall streets opinion, is an increase in freight rates. Should the increase be granted it was stated. long step will have been taken toward re-es- tablshment of normal conditions, and it would naturally lead to the reopening of tt,k. -t.sal .~,l,4.
