COMMISSIONERS ARE
 NOW OUT OF JAIL
Georgia Officials Got in Trouble Be- cause the Court Ruled That They
 Were in Contempt

Atlanta, October 15.-(Special )-Commis- J. A. McGhee, together with Clerk J. M. Sellars. of Murray county, who have been in jail for over three weeks after being adjudged in contempt of court for non compliance with restraining order issued by Judge A. W. Fite of the Cherokee cir cult. regarding a tax levy for erection of a courthouse at Chatsworth were released from jail Wednesday after the supreme court had reversed Judge Fites decision.
 The original restraining order was against the commissioners erecting a courthouse at Chatsworth on the site they chose but the supreme court handed down decision leaving the selection to the commissioners.
 Judge Fite thereupon issued an injunc- tion prohibiting Murray county from levy ing a special tax for the erection of the courthouse.
 The appeal of the commissioners as sent to the supreme court following issuance of the injunction showed that they levied tion of Judge Fite's second restraining order.
 The supreme court therefore held that they could not be held in contempt for not obeying an order which they knew nothing about and especially pointed out that Clerk Se,lars was not responsible for any part of the action. as he was simply clerk and attorney for the board.

STEADY UNDERTONE
 ]. IN COTTON MARKET
Report That Crop Was Gathered 60 Per Cent In-
 creased Demand

New Orleans october 15.-Cotton had a steady undertone on the local market to- day and stood at net advance through out the session. but prices were held down by continual liquidation of the long ac- count. The news of the day was bullish and sentiment in favor of the market increased. Bearish traders. however, claimed the market appeared decidedly overbought. The net change for the day was an advance of to 10 points,
 In the early trading prices were Il to ls points upon unsatisfactory weather over the belt. Cables were poor but they did not hold the market down. The report by a private bureau that the crop was 6l per cent gathered increased the demand and the advance was widened to 19 to 2l points about noon. This was the highest level of the day. After the noon hour unloading of long cotton was more in evil dence than ever and the market sagged,
 The volume of business was large. The best support appeared to come from out side traders.

TIDE OF BUSINESS
 IN ASCENDENCY
Dun's Review Will State Widespread Business Ac-
 tivity Is in Prospect

New York. October 15.-pun's Review tomorrow will say:
 With cross currents diminishing in force the tide of business is rising at an accelerated pace and an era of wide- spread activity is in prospect. Usually during a transition period gains are re- corded slowly. but strictly mercantile conditions have passed the stage where progress is difficult of discemment. and of late industrial expansion has been phe- nomenallv rapid.
 Reports from nearly all sections of the country tell of the unchecked growth ot new enterprise. which. while manifest in varying degrees in different lines and To- calities, is everywhere stimulated by the exceptional strength of the fundamental situation.
 Assurance of agricultural success, to- gether with almost unlimited financial resources. has given the comnercial world the confidence essential to fhe de- velopment of national prosperity, and the notable improvement in sentiment and change of spirit is now more clearly re- flected in the volume of current transac- tons. The latter. with few exceptions. are steadily enlarging, as is evidenced by the comparisons or bank clearinss rail- road earnings, commodity prices, thrilled steel tonnage, idle freight cars and other statistical barometers.

Ayery's Letter

The days news was all bullish. Bad weather over the western belt. in the shape of heavy rains in Texas and Ok lahoma and Il forecast for continued un- settled colder weather.
 Miss Giles estimated that the crop has been 52 per cent gnned and @ per cent picked This I consider very bullish. In round figures the last census bureau on ginning was 2,9o0.0o0. lf there has been 2,s0o,0o0 bales glnned during the last period this would make total ginnings so far this season 5.7Oo,ooo. If this is 5a per cent of the total ginnings the indicated crop is 10, ,9oeoo0. or about what the government estimated However. it is my opinion the ginnings may fall below 2.S00.o00 My reason for this is because of the bad weather during the last week of the pe- riod and the reports from Texas and other states which would indicate that the ginning was very light and the per centage ginned very high
 The burden of the bear arguments are; Large stocks In spnners' hands and in independent warehouses. Beside this, they assume this years consumption will be less than normal. Apropos of this, one can assume most anything for the sake of argument but it does not prove any thing. l maintain consumption by all logical reasoning should be greater than last year. when with everything against normal taklnSs, tne Woilu conSumeu about IA. .225,00o bales of American cotton. Is it not reasonable we should consume more with our present conditions?
 Another very bullish feature today was a cabled estimate that the East Indian crop would be 100000 bales short. This shortage will have to be made up by in- creased consumption of our cotton.
 My opinion is tho speculator will take tho market away from the spinner and regard the market as a safe purchase on all soft spots. C. F. AVERY.

QUICK ADVANCE

Suggestion That the Allies Would Abandon Attack on
 Dardanelles Responsible

chicago. October 15.-Suggestions tha | Great Britain and France would abandon
 the attempt to open the Dardanelles re suited today in quick advance in wheat values here. The market closed unsettled
 but 1ssc to lNala4c net higher, with De- cember at a.S and May at $l OSTs. Corn
 gained ssGs.c to 1s.c and oats. llse to 1A , aissc. Provisions finished 17lsa7oc lower Much wild trading was witnessed in the wheat pit, especially during the first few minutes at Ve start. Some of the trans actions then showed a jump of nearly Be a bushel as compared with yesterdays s close. but the bulk of the days business was done at a material reaction from the top of this excited upturn The fact that the market at Liverpool was admit ted to be nervous over the chances for A complete relinquishment of any hope of supplies from the Black sea did a good deal to add to the buying fever here es- pecially IS cargo arrivals in Great Britain were said to be wholly inadeuuate to meet the current demand.
 Profit taking on the part of holders wa s chiefly responsible for the numerous set backs that prevented the wheat market from fully holding the extreme gains. On the other hand, storms over the domestic winter belt te-ded to give support to prices late in the session and so also did the opinion of a leading authority that big decrease was likely in the win ter crop acreage this fall.
 Corn ran up with wheat and as a result of unfavorable weather. Besides crop damage reports were numerous from Iowa and Nebraska
 In the oats crowd buying was stimu- lated by lively demand from the sea- board. Country offerings increased, but did not appear to check the upturn Realizing sales by the smaller packers were what mainly carried down pro- visions. Weakness in the cotton seed oil market tended to widen the break Future quotations were as follows:

|b|G DROP IN SALES ION STOCK EXCHANGE
Dealings Fall Below Million Share Mark for First
 Time in Three Weeks

New York, October 15.-Perhaps tho most significant feature of today's trad | ing was the fact that dealings fell far be
 low the million share mark, sales amount ing to only SS5.o00 shares. It was the first full session in something like three weeks
 in which the output failed to attain to seven figures, not to mention the many days in which dealings ranged from 1.200, ooo to 1,5o0.Oo0 shares.
 There were further indications of an abatement of public interest, commission houses being far less prominent in the days operations. Evidently the warnings recently emanating from responsible quar- ters which pointed to the danger arising from a continuance of the specula tive mania were bearing fruit. Latest devel- opments in the European war, including the possible abandonment of the Darda- nelles campaign by the allies, also acted as check, foreign offerings of our stock being much less freely absorbed. Opening prices disclosed considerable ir- regularity, with preponderance of de- clines. These were neutralized in a meas ure by gains in some of the war shares, including Bethlehem Steel, which opened at lower level, but ascended points from yesterdays close to the new high record of 4.75 before midday, later touch ing AZ.
 Westinghouse, the most active issue of the day American Smelling and American Can comprised the few elements of actual strength, United States Steel showing further pressure. Some of the rails were firm for a time, notably Canadian Pa cific, the anthracites, Union Pacific and Erie, but St. Paul, Chicago Northwestern, New Haven, Illinois Central and Ches- apeake and Ohio were variably lower.
 As usual, the selling movement gath cred force in the later dealings, most ad- vances in specialties then being changed
 to losses, with general heaviness else
 where. The closing was heavy, with an
 abrupt decline in Rock Island. South Porto Rico sugar, with further gain of 19 points to 15O, was among the few out standing issues of the day.
 Bonds were firm at the outset. but eased on later. feature being several small
 sales of Anglo-French notes at s7M, a fraction under the subscription price. Total sales, par value, were $3,S4SOOO.
 Government bonds were unchanged on call.

Coffee Market

New York, October 15.-The market for coffee futures opened at unchanged prices to a decline of 1 point, but very soon firmed up on covering by near-month shorts and some scattered buying, which appeared to be inspired by the continued steadiness of Brazil. Business was largely in the way of switching from De- cember to later months, that delivery be- ing exchanged for May at 20 points. July at 30 points and September at 45 points.

Hubbard Bros. & Co., Letter

New York. october i5.--On the re- ceipt of adxices of poor report Of the present outlook for the crop l.iy-
 erpool advanced sharply and this mar ket recovered some 70 points. losing most of the advance ou realizing or ders. There does not appear to be any short interest in the market or any disposition to sell. except to take profits or to hedge against few pur- chases of cotton. Today there did not appear to be any hedge selling. All markets were in reactionary mood today. so that our market showed a
 comparatively good tone, as compared with other commodities. new prob lem is coming to the front in the small amount of cotton going to Liverpool Is this due to an indispostion of the Liverpool banks to advance freely or to the fact that that market Is be- low the American markets when the
 increased freight exchanged and in- surance is taken into consideration

DEMANDLESS ACTIVE
 IN COTTON MARKET
Reports That Growers Are Holding Out for 15 Cents
 Affect Demand

New York. Osetober 15.-Bulish crop and weather reports caused a sharp early advance in the cotton. market today. but the demand became less active around 12s7c for January contracts and prices later eased off under realizing or selling Nor a reaction. with the general list clos ing steady at net gain of to II points for the day.
 The market opened steady at a decline of point on December. but generally to points higher and showed consider able strength during the early trading. Prospects that the heavy rains in the western belt would be followed by an- other cold spell appeared to be bringing fresh buyers into the market. while there was also considerable covering by recent sellers on the advance which carried De- cember contracts up to 12. FOG and March to 1312c. or about 19 to 23 points net higher.
 The report of local crop authority es- timatng that 52 per cent of the crop had been ginned to October this year, com pared with a 10-year average of AT per cent to October IS, and that so per cent had been picked, doubtless contributed to the buying movement. while bullish senti- ment was also encouraged by reports of better export demand in the southwest. largely for Japanese account, and reports that many southern farmers were plan ming to hold cotton for 15 cents Buying tapered off on the advance, however, and subsequently, fluctuations were more or less irregular with prices sagging off under realizing. while the failure of the unfavorable crop news to inspire a more active or general demand. seemed to ere ate rather a more reactionary sentiment.
 Closing prices showed reactions of 10 or 12 points from the high level of the morning. Wall street and southern houses were among the buyers on the early ad- vance. and there was very little talk of hedge selling during the day.
