 Preparations for a meeting tonight were halted last night and the drivers and their packers met with II. X. Me Farland and listened with great gusto to F. L. Cords offer to put up $2,0OO in cash to promote the meeting. George l'urdy Bullard, representative of the contest board of the American Auto mobile association. paused between bites of hot chocolate Tn the Rose Tree last evening and informed Deino and others that if the dough were deposit ed to cover prize money, he would wire today for a sanction and that the race could be pulled off.
 Offers of assistance and operation came from every side. The meeting. with about S2,400 in prizes. will cer- tainly be a success. if the early speed IS maintained in preparation.
 The Tentative Program.
 Mile time trials. to be run sinsly, with prize of s250 for the winner

IRREGULAR TURNS
IN COTTON MARKET
Opening Bulge Followed by a
Decline, With a RecOv-
cry Later.
FREIGHT RATES ADVANCE

There was some activity az well as
the usual irregularity In the cotton mar
ket yesterday. In response to strong
cables the market opened at an advance
Of to 10 points, but the pressure
OF local offerings soon caused a loss
Of this gain and later In the day q
| sharp break occurred, sending prices on
about Is points from the top. A recovery
In the last half hour left prices prac-
tically unchanged.
THE continued strength at Liverpool,
which Is now from $50 to 365 points over
New York, In construed az a renection
OF the difficulties attending the exporta-
ton OF cotton. There rave been further
advances In freight rates both AT Nortn-
ern and Southern ports. Freight con-
gestion is almost as pronounced in South
ern ports as along the Atlantic sea-
board. The Southern Pacific Railroad
Is not taking any through cotton by
way OF Galveston owing to the Inability
to obtain tonnage. The railroad Ia
said TO have bought six boats recently
for coastwise use In an enort TO relieve
congestion at Galveston and New Or
cans.
Sentiment continues very bearish on
the market, with the belief In a decline
based entirely upon the dihicuities sur
rounding expectation. II these obstacles
could be removed II seems reasonably
assured that prices would advance stu
further. II IL true that there 10 a gem
eral impression that the South would ne
willing TO sell on a basis OF IL cents
in the interior. but this intention m'eht
undergo some change II the export PROB
lem should he solved.
Already there IL talk Of q big acre
age for next year. with one operator
in particular predicting that the South
will plant for a 10000. 900 bale crop
next season. An Alabama spot frm
writes as follows on his: owing
TO the fact hat the boil weevil has
thoroughly infested all Gulf states, big
i cotton crops are past history. We can
not produce the crop without CONNER
cial fertilizer and the price this season
will be prohihit!ve, Notwithstanding the
fact that only ow grades can be OBJ
| tained. Many thousand mules have
been shipped from the cotton raising
sections during the past few months
and none will be shipped back. lndica-
| lions point TO the crop OF 1915 being well
under tha of the present year"
One feature which contributed to the
decline Yesterday was a report that a
number OF vessels were headed for Sa-
vannah and other south Atlantic ports
and that freight room was being offered
more freely. II Ia believed that this
II due TO the release OF tonnage which
had been used exclusively for Archangel
up to the time OF the closing of tha,
port for the winter.

III was pointed out that the Canadian
Car ana FOUNDRY Company was obliged
10 advance to some of the concerns sh. -
ing its orders enough money to enabl.
them to MAKE changes In their plants
so that they could produce shells. This
depleted the $50. 00O. 900 advanced hv the

delivery to the central assembling plant.
The company has been forced to nav tho
concerns that have delivered their goods
on time In order 10 enable them 10 prn-
coed with the further manufacture or
shells. Owing to the fact that deliveries
or the completed shells nave been he,d
up the Canadian Car and Foundry Com
pany has been unable to get money from

on good authority to be the real cause
for the decline in the stock of the com
pany.

day that 10000 shells were delivered ,,
seaboard last month and that IL WAS
hoped to deliver $50, 600 this month and
