LEGAL RATE OF INTEREST AS
 FINED BY CONVENTION

Wen an effort was made yesterday in the convention to change the legal rate of interest, attention was called to the fact that the following section was adopted several weeks ago:
 "All contracts for a greater rate of interest than ten per centum per annum shall be void, as to principal and interest, and the General Assem- bly, shall prohibit the same by law, but when no rate of interest is agreed upon, the rate shall be six per centum per annum."

New York Cotton Market Is Comparatively Calm Through out the Day-Showers Too Light to Benefit Texas Crop.

New York, Aug. 22.-Except for a brief period of activity and excite ment during today's early trading the cotton market was comparatively quiet and the advance was followed by reactions, with the close steady at a net gain of fl to 21 points.
 The market opened steady, at a de- cline under overnight selling orders, but this carried prices well below the relatively firm Liverpool cables, and the initial orders were quickly ab- sorbed by the buying of houses with Egyptian connections.
 Trading later was quiet, with prices showing tendency to sag off during the middle of the day on private re- ports of rain in Texas. Many of these reports came from New Orleans, accompanied by selling orders. but the hope of a break in the Texas drouth found no encouragement in the official weather news or the west ern belt forecast. which was for dry weather in Texas, except possibly showers in the extreme west. Texas reports received here said that the showers had been too light to be of benefit in view of the high tempera- lures and these advices helped to

One of the most radical changes made yesterday by the convention was the adoption of a provision, after an extended debate, to assess per sonal as well as real property for the purpose of public improvements. w. F. Coleman of Jefferson, led the op- position, but was voted down. The provision applies to the formation of special taxing districts for the pur- pose of constructing and maintaining public roads. It is provided that bonds for such purposes may be is- sued not to exceed in amount 20 per cent of the assessed valuation of the taxable property within the county.
