Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, September S.-The market developed frmer tone today during the later trading, though it can hardly be said that sentiment has changed to any extent in local circles where bearish views have predominated for long time. The theory is that general world condi- tipns must improve very substantially before any demand that will be either ur- gent or broad in character will set in and unless that happens the weight of even a small crop will press heavily on the market for time at least. Crop ad- vices are bullish and a wire from Mem phis today said that in many localities it would take 20 acres to make a bale, but this seems largely due to insect damage and the recent weather has been gen. orally regarded as favorable. It is report ed that based on reports from 800 Texas farms the estimated cost of raising cotton this season is A cents per pound in that part of the belt. Such an estimate looks very extreme, but no one yet has found way to determine satisfactorily what the actual cost is to raise pound of cot ton, but there is not much reason to doubt that the cost is on the average not far from present quotations for future deliveries.
 The short position continues much over extended and a general covering move ment would mean rapid advance.-Post & Flagg.

REPLIES TO WILSON

Senator Poindexter. republican, Washington. in a two hours address in the Senate today replied to state mentc of President Wilson in his speech making tour. Several repub- lican senators made arrangements for speeches in several western cities in reply to the President, while Senator Harding, Ohio. and others prepared to reply soon to MT Wilson from the Senate floor.
 Referring to the Presidents chal- lenge to league opponents to put up or shut up." Senator PoindeXter said the substitute for the league offered by it's opponents was the Declaration of Independence and Iincolns "sov- ernment by and for the people" In reply to the Presidents declaration that the league would end use of American soldiers abroad, MT. Poin- dexter called attention to the sending of American troops to Siberia and the reported plans to send others to Silesia and Armenia.
 With interest centered in the reser- vation controversy, considerable sig nifcs nee was attached by senators to- Senator Simmons >ormal statement, although he disclaimed privately that he spoke for the President. He ex- plained that he gave only his personal view of the Senate situation, and this explanation was supported by Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, minority leader of the foreign relations committee, who said that President Wilson's po- sitio1 on reservation. even of mild" variety. had not yet been made known. Republican leaders, however, hailed Senator Simmons statement as a frank confession that the treaty cannot be ratified without reservations

is not theory nor guess work, it is fact tlready tried out by one enter prising county with the assistance and help of few liberal citizens What one county can do successfully the whole state of Alabama can do for it's people
 We all know that children are great consumers of wealth and they must be taught to be producers of wealth to meet their own physical wants early in life if we are to develop good citi- zens
 Safety depends upon citizenship and citizenship depends upon intelligence and spirit of fairness in all the re- lations and duties of life. Ignorance and inefficiency are the easy doors to discontent. Self respect demand useful, practical Knowledge of the means of wealth production. Half the demoralizng influences could be checI ed by simply turning surplus enc sy into interesting productive chan during school days
 Good citizenship is the greatest tfirs in the world. and we must build | we are to have it. Every acre of ls4a , in Alabama and avery ton os min, a ought to pay its part toward secuia. this great good for the people of fh state.
 Other states pay four dollars per acre road tax and as much school tax and count 1t the very best investment but our people raise howl of injustice the minute a word is said about rais- ing money for. anything. They say the land is taxed to death and so IS industry. Poor land. Poor industry,
 Guess neither is worth continuing Suppose we just stop and call 1t all failure if 1t is that poor. Anybody knows that is nonsense but it seems to be the sort of sense some of us try to have. We must get bigger and more unselfish views than that even about what we call our own. We mast re- member we are only stewards of wealth. and all will perish except the good we do, and the service we render to hu7 manity. We are to blame, ourselves. for the lliteracy and inefficiency of the people. What have We done to change it? Alabama has given us protection and opportunity, else we should not be here. What have we done for Alabama? Everybody get busy and urge your rep resentative to put the vocational school bill through right now
 This is our home our own blessed home. and we are like one big family trying to help each other. Don't let us forget the young and helpless mem bers of our household.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, September S.-(Special.) )-Al- though the market was at one time early in the day weak from further liquidation. it had a much better undertone. The light ginners' figures, showing the late ness of the crop, was calculated to induce a steadier market, though the report also stated that the government reports showed that the total product of the world was over 2,0o0, 900 bales in excess of the consumption Of last season. This statement was the cause of the early de- cline. While the sentiment is generally bearish, especially among outside trad CTS, the market shows signs of having reached point at whicA any favorable circumstance would bring about good rally.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

Over W. I. Phelts & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, September S.-Thes cotton market tried hard to react from the decline today. but extremely heavy short selling met it's strongest period. which was around the opening, and put it to lower levels. Renewed warnings concern
 ing the tropical storm and the sensa- tionally bulish showing of the first gin ming returns for the season were with values. There was nothing new in the developments of over Sunday to sell on and the offering from the short side were based entirely on beariSh convictions re- garding the ultimate course of the mar ket. In the early trading prices were 2l to S2 points higher, from which they fell to level AS to 52 points under the close of Saturday. In the early afternoon the posting of another storm warning put the strongest months 12 to appoints over last weeks close again.
 The census bureau placed the total gin- ming to the first of September at 13s 993 bales, the lowest on record to that date, against 103,s,07s yea, ago, the largest figures to the same date. Technical con- ditions called for reactions fom time to time, but widespread bearish sentiment calls for a lower market in the long run.
 The market bounded up sharply toward the close on short covering, inspired by fear of the storm, and the close was at a net advance of from 40 to 50 points, Shepard & Gluck.

S. R. Stewart & Co.'S Letter

The action of the market in the early trading showed that it was governed by outside consideration. Liverpool came amout 20 better than due, but lost half of this showing on the close The basis for bearish activity seems to obtain in the political situation, which is a rather uncertain foundation to build further hopes on for a lower market.
 The New Orleans market after openng 15 to 20 points higher lost the gain and around 940 a. m. was at the low point or the day. December selling at 2790c The pessimlstic condition was attributed among other things, to the statement of MT. Lamont, of the firm of Morgan & Co.,. and continued uncertain in exchange sterling rates. Exports so far this week are 16,000 against 42,000 last year.
 Spots unchanged; middling, 29c; sales only 1S4 bales.

Simmons Says Some Reser- >vation Concessions Neces- sary in Order to Secure
 Ratification
By Assoriaten Press

1 Washington. September S.-MarSed in- dications of compromise in the Senate l controversy over reservations to the league of nations covenant come today i from both democratic and republican sources after Republican Leader Lodge had announced that the peace treaty
 would be reported to the Senate Wednes- day and probably taken up for considera- tion next Monday.
 Probably the most important develop ment of the day was a statement to the Senate by Senator Simmons of North Carolina, prominent in administration leadership, declaring some concessions in the way of reservations will have to be made to secure its ratification" AL though utterly opposing some of the Lodge reservations Senator Simmons said he was suggesting a compromise on conservative reservations of an interpre- ta.tive character"
 Republican senators continued efforts to compose differences over a reservation to Article X of the league covenant. Sem ators McCumber, North Dakota; Kellogg.
 Minnesota, and Lenloot, Wisconsin, were said to have drafted substitute reserva- tions which were discussed privately to- cay in lengthy cloakroom conferences
