A. G nj. COLLEGE BOYS MAY
HAVE TO USE TENTS.

Agricultural College, Miss, Sept
19.-Twenty-four hours prior to the
opening of the annual session of the
A. e. M. College it looks like it will
be necessary to make requision for
army tents to shelter the student
body overflow.
At the noon hour today more than
1 GOO students had been enrolled, and
they are still coming on every train.
At the closing hour last night the
registrars office showed 602 students
actually on the campus.
President W. H. Smith stated today
that the enrolment will be somewhere
between 1900 and 1,400 students with
good prospects for the latter number
being reached.
It will be impossible to supply dor
mitory room for all of the students,
if this number is realized and the use
of tents for shelter purposes seems
strongly probable.

DAILY COTTON LETTER.
New Orleans, Sept. 20. - First
trades were at a decline of 10 to IL
points, but bullish feeling is running
20 high and speculative action, par
;icularly in New York seems so strong
hat it carried prices above last nights
closing figures soon after the call.
According to some advices from New
York participation in the market by
the Hinterland is greater than in
many years, setting up a current of
great power. Yet, the facts are that
speculation has carried futures ahead
of spots and the contract markets
consequently is the outlet for the crop
and carrying the greater portion of
It as it gets into marketable shape.
With the total absence of bullish sup
port by weather conditions, anticipa-
tion Of a bullish bureau report is los
ing ground, and starting two weeks
ahead of that report is perhaps a lit
tie too early. These are the reasons
for possible reactions and prompt re-
alizing of bulges by the conservative
element.
Spots are firm, this could not be
otherwise with October selling around
1850 and middling quoted at 1888.
