RAPID ADVANCE OF COTTON PRICES
General List Closed Irregu- lar at Net Advance of
 4 to 28 Points

New York, August 27.-A sharp early break was followed by very rapid advance In the cotton market
 today with December selling up from
 21.46c to 22.15c, or about $350 per
 bale from the low level of the morn
 ing and 35 ponts above Saturdays
 final quotation. That delivery closed at
 22.0Sc. with the general list closing
 irregular at net advance of 4 to 2S points. The market opened steady at decline of 4 points on october, but
 generally 4 to points higher and sold 10 to 16 points above Saturdays closing figures right after the call. A Memphis report making the condition
 of the crop 67.2 against 72 last month
 encouraged reactionary sentiment aft
 CT the recent big break, but the ad-
 vance met increased offerings, and the
 market soon turned easier The talk
 of southern selling here seemed to
 emphasize the bearish view of increas-
 ing new crop receipts and there was also selling on the prediction for part ly cloudy weather in Texas with show CTS in the Panhandle. Recent buyers for a rally resoId on the break and spot orders were uncovered on the de-
 cline, which carried the market into
 new low ground with October selling
 at 21.40c and January at 21.4Sc, or about 35 to A points net lower on the more active months. Offerings then tapered off and the market turned firmer on another bullish crop re- port followed by rumors that south western farmers were refusing to fol : low the decline and that spot demand was improving. For a time prices ad- vanced very rapidly, with October sell 1 ing at 22.13c and January at 22.13c( or about 29 to 36 points net higher on the active positions. The close was few l points off from the best under realiz : | ing. A Chicago authority estimates the condition of the crop at .67 against .72 1 Inst month

New York Futures
New Orleans Cation

New Orleans, August 27.-Wide declines in the early trading in cotton today were followed by strong recoveries and the market closed at a net gain of 23 to 26 points. The early selling was based on favorable weather conditions over the belt and further weakness among the spot markets of the south. The reaction was brought about by the oversold con- dtion of the market and by private bu reau reports showing greater crop de- terioration for the month than generally looked for. In the early trading there was a fall of about $2 a bale as result of the good weather map. Gradually the decline was widened to 43 to 47 points, At the lowest levels there was much realizing by shorts and finally this buying became general and the market readily responded to it. In the late afternoon the highest levels were attained, the most active months reaching a net advance of 25 to 30 points.
 Two private bureau reports on condt- ton were issued today, one showing de- terioration of 5 points and another loss of AS points. The trade has been looking for a falling off of only to points,
 Local spots were lowered by 15O points and losses were reported at many interior points The adjustment of spots to con tract prices did not attract much atten- ton after the early trading

REGIMENT FROM Al ABAMA ID
 ID ENTRAIN SOON

Montgomery, August 27 = Special That the one Hundred and Sixty-seventh CFourth Alabama) will leave Camp sheri- dan for the divisional training station at Mineola, |. |, Wednesday or Thurs day is the accepted opinion. despite the fact that officers are doing much and saying nothing. No word which viii in dicate the plans for the next few days is being said, but officers who desired leaves and enlisted men who sought fur loughs have been notified that they can not leave camp.
 Camp Sheridan was alive with enlisted men at every task Monday. Boxes were being packed and everything made ready for q long journey. It is known that the entire brigade other than the new infantry regiment will entrain for the di visional station at Macon, Ga, before the middle of next week. However. the ex- act time of departure Is not known and will not be released for publication. The companies will entrain without ostenta- ton and no time will be given even for enlisted men to notify relatives. Officers would like to give notice in order that the men might say farewell, but orders forbid.
 Brig. Gen, Robert E. Steiner has been instructed to report at the Macon camp the latter part of the week and this is taken to mean that his presence is de- sired in order that final plans may be made for the work of the brigade.

CONSUMERS OF COAL !.
 INTERESTED IN RATES

Montgomery. August 27. = Especially Consumers of coal throughout Alabama are vitally interested in the petition of the railroads concerning coal rates in Alabama which will come before the Ala
 bama public service commission Sep
 tember and the commission Monday requested retail dealers and commercial
 or rganizations to take notice at once in
 order that they may protest if they so
 desire.
 The railroads propose to make an ad- vance of 5 cents ton in freight rates
 on coal where the rates now are less
 than 50 cents a ton, 10 cents where the
 rates now are between 50 cents and s.
 and 15 cents in all rates above s1 per
 ton This means an increase in the cost
 of coal for the consumer. as the dealers
 will be forced to add the additional freight to the retail prices.
 Indications are that the public serv- ice commission will not take up the street ear rule until the October term Atticus Mullin. secretary of the com mission. announced last week that operators of all street railway systems in Alabama which touch more than one town would be required to show why the commission should not give it's permission before any changes in schedules are made. This would give the commission the right to regulate | service during strikes, the rule result ing from the street railway strike in
 Montgomery and threats of strike in Mobile. A great majority of the street railway systems in the state would be affected as they touch more than one town or run outside the city limits
