CLOSE 0F EXCHANGE SHOWS RELATION 0F MARKE:TSOF WORLD Markets of Great Centers Respond to Those of
 Other Nations NEW YORK EXCHANGE
 IS RARELY CLOSED Believed That No Purely Domestic Event Could Occur Which
 Would Cause It to Close
By HOLLAND

New York. August 4.-tSpecial)-The prediction so often made or the hope so frequently expressed that not again would the New York Stock exchange close its doors excepting upon holidays has at last been disproved. Yet 1t is probable that no conceivable demoral&ation or panic condition would have compelled the governors of the exchange to close the doors if the unfavorable condition were purely domestic. There were two very se- were tests. one in 1893, at the time of the so-called silver panic. and again, in 1907, at the time of the currency panic. Unless ccr dtions should hereafter sometime be- come absolutely chaotic. it is inconceiv able that any would arise more threat ening than those characteristic of 1893 and 1907. The Clearing House association of New York and of other cities and the cooperation of the banks of some of the foremost of international bankers proved adequate for the protection of the stock exchange and of those who do business in it.
 that those in authority in the stock ex- change received confidential or private communications similar to those which Were delivered to the governors of the stock exchange in 1873. In that year, as consequence of the Jay Cooke failure the governors of the stock exchange de- cided to close the doors. What took place

The date has not yet been fixed. but it is hoped that it will be during the Mississippi fair, which is to be held from october i9 to 24 inclusive, as it is known that the secre- tary will be here during the latter part of October. As the record shows that the big fair here has greater paid ad- in the state, it is considered that MT Bryan would be greeted by the largest audience ever assembled on Mississippi soil.

Mir Bryan, as has been announced will speak on the proposed amendments to the state constitution which will provide for the referendum. It MT.

while matter of record, is not well or generally known.
 After the organization of the court of appeals. the supreme court, in April, 1911, transferred to this court, from the cases then pending before that court, 260 cases, leaving still in the supreme court more cases than the judges of that court work ing with unremitting zeal, could dispose of during the term.
 The total number of cases finally dis posed of by the court of appeals since it came into existence about three years ago is 172S. This shows the volume of the work done; it's quality speaks for it. cpI

Troy Gives Survey of Work Accomplished by Lower
 Tribunal
TIPS CASES DISPOSED
 OF SINCE FORMATION
Small Number of Cases Reversed by Supreme Court-Lays Facts of Usefulness of Court in Let
 ter to Legislators
By l.. s. BETTY

Montgomery. August 4.-tSpecial) That the court of appeals has fulfilled the purposes for which it was created, that wisdom was shown in it's estab- lishment, and that its necessity and usefulness have been revealed in the large number of cases disposed of since it's creation are declarations of Alex ander Troy, clerk of the court. who has addressed a letter to the member rs or the next legislature and the law sers throughout the state giving brief survey of the work of that tribunal.
 MT. Troys letter is intended to en tighten the public mind generally as to the work of the court of appeals, as we'll as to correct certain misinfor- nation on the subject that has been put In circulation. Further than this the letter may be construed as reply to those who advocate the courts abolish ment
 Since the creation of the court in April, 1911. the total number of cases disposed of is 1T2S, according to the records. In the part of the term of lsl0-l911, during which the court was in existence. 1t disposed of 192 cases and during the next three full terms there was an average of 512 cases dis posed of for each term. On another basis of averages, each of the three judges of the court disposed of I'll cases per term.
 Mir Troy calls attention to the small number of cases that have been re- versey by the supreme court Accord ing to the records. it is shown that of the total number of TIPS cases dis posed of, applications to the supreme court for certiorari to review some holdings of the court were made in 10s cases, of which number IS applications were granted.
 Tt can readily be seen that if the supreme court had on hand for decision the 172S cases GAY cases to each of the seven judges) that have been disposed of by this court. 1t would be swamped with work impossible for it to con slider and dispose of within any req sonable time. to say nothing of the constantly accommodating new business, said MT. Troy.
 In conclusion, he declared: T thought it but just and proper, and an act oi justice due the court, to make an ac- curate statement of the above matters from the official records. showing tn, necessity and usefulness of this court and to lay the facts before you fol your consideration"

Purpose of New Tribunal

Ills letter 1olloWS.
 'rhe court of appeals was created to relieve the supreme court of part of the growing appellate work of the state that had assumed such propor- tions when this court was established in 1911 as to make it apparent that 1t was impossible for the supreme court to dispose of the increasing business coming before it with any degree of promptitude or within such reasonable limits of time as to prove satisfactory to the members of the court, the attor- neys or litigants.
 Tt has been but little more than three years since the establishment of the court of appeals, and the appellate court work of the state, notwithstand- ing the increased business is. more nearly up to date than for many years and is rapidly nearing that much to be desired condition when it will be en- tirely so. The outlook is encouraging that when the appellate courts con vene for the next regular term ma jority of the judges of both courts will have caught up with the work in their hands, and it is expected that all of them will be up by another term, II the submissions are not unusually large Certainly if the appellate court work of the state can be characterized by promptness. and the accomplishment wrought by these two appellate courts of practically keeping the appellate work of the state up to date, the es- tablishment of the court of apepals was not without wisdom.
 ..The part performed by the court oi appeals in assisting to bring about this condition and in fulfilling the object oi it's creation in aiding the supreme cour' to promptly dispose of the increasing volume of appellate work of the state

Disposition of Cases

D1SpOSit1On or CdSeS
 ''The disposition of these cases by terms of court is as follows
 Tn the part of the term of 1s10-11. dur
 ing which the court was in existence, 1t finally disposed of 192 cases.
 During the November term, 1911-12, it finally disposed of 562 cases
 During the November term, 1912-13, it finally disposed of 530 cases.
 During the November term. 1913-14, it
 finally disposed of 444 cases.
 This shows an average of 576 cases disposed of by each of the three judges, or an average of 512 cases disposed of by each of the judges for the three full terms an average of I'll cases per judge per l full term. Of course, as always happens | in the disposition of appellate work, some of these cases (about 230 for all the terms) | were disposed of by the court without | writing an opinion.
 "Of the total number of TIPS cases dis posed of by this court, applications to the supreme court for certiorari to review
 some holding of the court have been made in 10S cases, and of this number of ap- plications IS have been granted. In other words, certiorari has been applied for in GA per cent and granted in 1.04 per cent of the total number of cases. 'It can readily be seen that, if the su- preme court had on hand for decision
 
 seven judges) that have been disposed of by this court, 1t would be swamped with
 work impossible for 1t to consider and dispose of within any reasonable time. to say nothing of the constantly accumulate ing new business; but, in addition, il would also be burdened with the cases now on the dockets of this court and the supreme court submitted for decision and Ifundecided, more than 200 in number. mak- ing approximately 275 cases that each of the judges would have on hand for de cision. How long would it take to catch up with that amount of work without as- assistance from some source? And what would be the result attending a continual tion of such conditions?
 During the 1912-13 and 1913-14 terms 15S cases submitted in the court of ap. peals were transferred to the supreme court. These cases are not included in the statement of those finally disposed of by the court of appeals. Such trans fers represent an undue accumulation of cases in the court of appeals and were made under the provisions of the statute being deemed advisable for the prompt dispatch of the appellate work of the state, the number of cases which go to the court of appeals being greater in pro- portion to the number of judges constitut | ing the respective courts than the num- Der going in the first instance to the supreme court.
 Tn view of the fact that much misin- 1 formation on this subject has been vol l.unteered to the public by persons for req sons and motives best known to them or through ignorance, I thought 1t but | just and proper. and an act of justice 1 due the court, to make an accurate state. ment Of the above matters from the of l ficial records, showing the necessity and iusefulness of this court. and to lay the facts before you for your consideration.
