COTTON MARKET IS RATHER UNSETTLED Selling Out of Long Cotton Works Against
 Values

New Orleans, June 2s--Cotton was ather unsettled this week. liquidation of the old crop months contending with re- high temperatures
 Friday was first notice day for July In this market and tenders for about 10,- GOO bales came out. During part of the session July was very steady, but at times considerable selling out of long cotton was in evidence which worked against values. At it's lowest July was 15 points under last weeks close while at their lowest the new crops were only unchanged to 1 point down. compared with that level The list at it's highest was 21 to % points over last week s finals. The net change for the week was an advance of 15 to 24 points.
 This next week the market will be chiefly concerned with the bureau re- ports on conditions and acreage, which will be issue Wednesday at 12 o'clock. New Orleans time. It seems to be gen orally expected that the condition re- port will show an improvement of to 1 points, compared with last month s figures of 1i.S per cent of the normal. A year ago the condition was Sl.s two years ago so.4. and three years ago sS.2. Opinion is less decided regarding the acreage figures Some few bears may look for slight increase compared with the last year, while some bulls may look for decrease of as much as , per cent but it Is safe to say that the average trader does not lock for much if any change.
 Up to Wednesday it is likely that trad ing will be light and of an evening up character. while. following Wednesday. business will probably not be very large because of the double holidays at the end of the week.

EIGHT GOVERNORS OF ALABAMA
 18H-1901
Mo- 124-A Senator and Nine Representatives
 William c. Oates Governor

The legislature that came In with Gov ernor Oates in 1894 was profoundly em- barfassed to know what to do with Sen ator Morgan. successor 10 his term must be chosen by 1t. The Cleveland members claimed the election of Oates and the defeat of Johnston should stand to their credit. They were intense par tisans of the President while Morgan was his openly announced and most az gressive foe He had led the fight against the nomination of Cleveland at Chicago in 1892; he attacked the President in of flee from his seat in the Senate most viciously with every opportunity. This constantly exposed incident of animosity in the senator from Alabama became more notable because of the contrast with his habit throughout the whole oi the same Presidents first term, 1SSo-9o Then he so impressed himself upon the phlegmatic nature of Mir. Cleveland that the latter. anxious to confirm the depths of his admiration. presented to the sen ator a handsome testimonial gold head walking cane, appropriately engraved Moreover between the southern like Pittt ol tiit N ifilt ftouSt anu iiit iduits of the senator's family a remarkable so- oial intimacy sprung up.
 Nobody pretended to expect demo- cratic legislature to defeat Senator Nor gan, but the Cleveland element was un- willing to pass the opportunity to ''beard the lion in his den. The senator had defiantly eanvassed the state and he was then boarding at the Exchange ho- tel in his regular sexennial contact with the legislators.
 Governor Jones. Cleveland partisan to the limit. was asked and publicly pleaded with to oppose the reelection of the senator. This noise was kept up a few days. Congressman Richard H. Clarke, Cleveland partisan, was appealed to with the same purpose. No man who regarded his reputation and who was also demo- crat, entertained the remotest thought of opposing Morgans reelection.
 A caucus of democrats of the two houses was summoned to select a can ddate for the Senate. Senator Morgan addressed it with force. Representative Willis Brewer of Lowndes, presided. Senator John J. Milner nominated John J. Morgan. No other name was pre- sented. but when the vote on the nom-
 
 representatives voted for Governor Jones; all the others for Morgan.
 On November 27 each house proceeded as the law directed to ballot for senator. In the lower branch Hon. Sam Will John nominated Senator Morgan and Wan gel Manning from Clay county, nomi- mated colo'a Warren S Reese of Mont gomery. .'gan received 6l votes to B for Reese. In the Senate the vote stood for Morgan g and for Reese 9. In joint convention of the houses next day Nor gan was elected. This was his fourth successive election. The time had passed when any attitude of this great man toward public questions. for public men. could put in jeopardy his official life dependent upon the will of the people of Alabama. While his third term ap- preached it's conclusion he was at open war with the democratic administration and notoriously on terms with it's re-

ATLANTA BANKERS
 DISCUSS DISPUTE
Controversy Regarding Ala bama Director Attracts
 Attention
By ROBERT MORAN

Atlanta. June 2s-t Special. Bank ing circles here are discussing an in teresting little dispute which seems t' have arisen in Alabama over the seleo tion of director from that state foi the regional reserve bank 10 be estah finished in Atlanta.
 Alabama bankers have already nom mated as their candidate for director In the regional bank George II. Malon, Of Dothan. a well known banker wht Is thoroughly identified with the eoun try banking situation. They thought it was only right that the country banks should be strongly represented on the board and because he led ths fight for such representation. MT. Ma lone was given the nomination without his seeking it.
 It now develops that MeLane Tiltor Jr of Pell City. who failed to secure thu nomination. is planning an attack or the election of MT. Malone at the meet. ing to be held soon in Mont gomery In the hope of defeating him. Atlanta bankers are holding hands off, they de- plore the fact that this dispute shold have arisen to threaten harmony in connection with the new institution Florida banks. however, have gone considerably further and have issued circulars and letters upholding the se- lection of MT. Malone and deploring the fact that MT. Triton did not put himself in accord with it.
 MT. Malone Is we'll known in Georgia Ii is said that he has established more national banks than any other single man in the United States Among them were the first national banks ever established In the wiregrass sec tion of Alabama and western Florida
 Mir Tilton recently sent out a cir eular making personal attack on Mir Malone. md the Alabama and Florida banks which joined In MT Malone $ selection are coming strongly to the support of their nominee MT. Triton stated in effect that he would not ac- cept his defeat for director of the re- gional bank. Following this Mir. Ma lone himself has just sent out letter to the members of the regional reserve bank throughout the district declaring that MT Tilton's charges are unwar- ranted and untrue. In the course of his letter regarding Mir. Tiltons action and attitude says;
 He would take no interest in the election of a director for the country banks for which 1 had inaugurated a fight except for himself l urged him not to let our forces split over his can- didacy until we were assured of vic tory for country banker in any event. He stated that he was In the race for himself and would not go into a meet ing unless he was sure of winning.
 If MT Triton had stayed at home he might have been nominated, but when 1t was seen that apparently his sole purpose was to secure the nomina - ton himself and that he cared for nothing else, the delegates rebelled and would not vote for him"
 The matter will be finally settled at a meeting to be held at Montgomery within the next two or three weeks. and bankers all over the district are watching the outcome with no small interest

 Foreign Warehouses
 
By HOLLAND

New York, June 2S.-(Speeial. .)--Some of those who are in close touch with the management of the United States Steel corporation are not inclined to attribute to any influence of the new tariff the re- duction, if there be any, of corporations of manufactured products. So far as this corporation, as well as the International Harvester, and one or two other great building up of foreign trade was in part due to the desire to be prepared for any possible effect which might follow the en- aetment of low tariff law.
 The Steel corporation has now estab- 1ished about 50 agencies, which, as a whole, cover the entire world, or at least that part of the world where industries of all kinds are carried on. These agen- cies have for the most part the facili- ties Of large warehouses It was a part of the policy of the corporation when, as early as 1902 it undertook to build up a great foreign trade so to perfect it's selling organization that it would be able to se- euro from the various plants all kinds of apparatus or material the basis of which is steel and iron. These articles from the largest to the smallest, were to be manufactured in such q1antities as would make it possible to ship the various commodities to the agents who would store them in the warehouses.
 Of course. each partic liar foreign mar ket was especially studied. The kind of material which would be appropriate for the Chine.e usrket differ d ,r many re- SD scts from commodities whirh would be suitable for European, Russian oi Salth American markets. For instance, in Peru an agency was established and ware houses provided whereby the industries of Peru or the transportation of agricultural interest could be enabled to secure on the moment the particular commodities which were applicable to Peruvian industries of

CHAPLIN FAILURE SHOCK ID FINANCES Money District Had Some Knowledge of Impend-
 ing Disaster

New York. June 2S.-The financial dis trict had some previous knowledge of the situation of the H. B. Chaflin com pany, but the shock of the receivership was pronounced. Special causes were recognized. such as the transition in methods of business with consequent ex- cess of credit needs and shifting of trade centers These could not obscure the significance of the failure as an index of trade. Abandonment of rescue meas ures by the powerful interests who had previously supported the house as a cita- del of dry goods credit shook confidence in commercial revival. which had begun to result from abundant crop promise and the long period of abstention from demand
 Reduction or passing of dividends was made occasion for explanations which af- fected the speculative dejection The supreme court decision confirming the Southern 'Pacific's oil land titles gal varized the market momentarily. The intermountain rate decision threw it back into gloom. In this mood. rumors gained credence in certain quarters that the commerce commission would deny the railroads application for freight in- Creases. These circumstances kept speculative sentient in a raw state Of sensibiity on the whole subject of gov ernment relations to business
 Exports mounted again in sympathy with the weeks opening predictions that the movement had already waned. All great central foreign banks showed heavy account of gold holding, but their terms for dseounting were firmly held. Relief from the lookup of foreign capital is believed to hinge largely on the out come of the coming French loan fota- ton.

The defense of the winners was of
