 Session

New York, June 7.-Renewed manip- ulation in the war and motor specialties and an abrupt decline in Canadian Pa cific were the contrasting features of today's professional and irregular mar ket. General Electric advanced 4b points to 16S F, it's highest price in sev- eral years, and General Motors gained D, selling at 157, a new high record. Bethlehem Steel came forward in the last hour, rising 912 to 15S, or with in point of its best quotation, made exactly month ago.
 The decline in Canadian Pacific was the more inexplicable from the fact that it rose over points in London. There Were reports that the British government had decided to take over some of the railways Canadian shops Tor use as war unit in the manu- lecture of munitions.

 Hog Colera Serum Laboratory
 IL Is a matter of great satisfaction that the legislature recently established In connection with the college a hog serum laboratory under the direction of the state veterinarian. This measure was passed we'll nigh unanimously by both houses and duly received the approval of the governor The title of the act is: TO establish and maintain plant for making serum for treatment of hog cholera, and to regulate the sale of tho serum The fund is to be expended un- der the direction of the trustees of the Alabama Polytechnic institute

 College Work
 fhe work of education in the coi- lege proper in all of It's departments has been throughout the year of a. high grade. There has been an excel- lent spirit of application and fewer excessive failures under examination than In any previous year. There has been a notable increase in the matur- ity of the student body and with this increase of age has come a notable increase in the seriousness of purpose and application. This desirable spirit Is also attributable in a degree to tha technical and professional educationl pursued by the student body. Yourgl men pursuing a definite course of study as a preparation for a specific life work, realizing the direct taneible value of their training. become deeply interested In their work and pursue it seemingly. with more fixed pur- pose and determination.
 Clubs Increased interest in the various de- pa rtments has manifested itself In the. formation of student clubs such as en-I sineering. agricultural, chemical, vct-l crinary. debating clubs. etc, where technical matters of direct interest arc fully discussed. Highly satisfactory in- tercollegiate debates have also heeni ! conducted throughout the year and al general fillup given to the intellectual life of the student body.
 Agricultural College The work in the agricultural col-l lege continues to expend and attractl large number of talented men of ths | institution. The courses In agronomy.' animal industry. etc. have been en- riched and the work in these depart-l l menus generally eXpanueu. ne hkri-l 1 cultural hall seven years ago was ai new building with scant equipment antl relatively not large number of stu-' | dents.

New York, June 7.-While somewhat irregular, the cotton market made gen eraly steady showing today with the close steady at a net advance of to 10 points.
 Firm cables and reports of unsettled weather in the south over Sunday doubt less accounted for an opening advance of 10 to Il points, and active months sold is to 14 points net higher right after the call on scattered covering and local bull support. There was no general or az gressive demand, however, and enough realizing was encountered around s.97 for October contracts. or within points of the best level reached on the last rally. to check the upward movement Reac- tions of some or 10 points followed, but offerings showed no more tendency to in crease on a scale down than buying or ders had on the early advance. and the market turned steadier during the after noon with prices working back 70 nearly the previous high point. Trading was very quiet later and the close was or 5 points off from the best Private cables reported a small, steady market in Liver pool, and the local traders were inclined to attribute the firmer tone in that market to the larger amount of cotton for ~arded from the Liverpool stock last week and a better demand in Manchester There were reports from west Texas that the rains were beneficial, but complaints were received from Oklahoma that owing to recent rains a further reduction in acre age was probable, and the eastern belt

QUIET STRENGTH IS FEATURE OF COTTON Market Firm in Afternoon and Closes at Net
 Gain

New Orleans, June 7.-Quiet strength featured the cotton market today. In the early trading prices went 1S to 15 points over Saturdays last quotations. After this spurt came a period of dull ness, with more or less profit taking on the long side. but in the afternoon the market firmed up again and the close was at net gain of Il to 14 points. At the lowest of the session prices were at rise of to II points.
 Better cables than due encouraged the buying and much of the steadiness later was caused by good spot ac- counts. The marking up of local spot quotations by points stimulated the advance in the afternoon. Offerings were slender at all times and the mar ket quickly responded to even small buying.
 Weather news was more favorable than otherwise and was generally con- sidered to be against prices, but it aroused no selling power of conse- quence.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. June 7.--tspecial. IA better tone in Liverpool came as un- expected to the local market which
 advanced, closing some ' to points higher It Is obvious that with the continental mills unable to supply the outside world with cotton goods that at some time the demand will come to Manchester and America. Just when, no one can foresee. It Is also clear that the reserve mills supplies in Bel gium France and Germany and Rus sia must have been used up in the absence of large importations. There fore, the visible supply must contain cotton which in other years would have been at the mills. Heavy rains are re- ported at Oklahoma and northwest Texas, but in the present pessimistic temper of the trade no attention Is paid to these advices Liverpool is gen. orally expected to be lower tomorrow.

Appropriation of 1911

In conclusion I wish to remind the board that the legislature of Alabama in 1911 unanimously passed an act appro- priating to the Alabama Polytechnic in- stitute $200,000 for specific budget in. cluding among others the sums enumer- ated above. There still remains of this appropriation an unpaid balance of Sl00,- GOO. If this act could remain intact. the appropriation to become available when the state is able to meet the obligation, the needs of the college set forth would be in large degree provided for. Unless such q specific appropriation is made by the state for buildings. I ask where Is the institution to secure facili- ties to carry on It's work? How are we to house the men and women whose services we are engaging from time to time On experiment station work and on extension work, and whose labors lie not in the college, but throughout the length and breadth of the state.
