the lead yesterday, by winning from Memphis, while Rube Robinson was putting it over the Pelicans.
 The "croociar' series between New Orleans and Atlanta will be played in the latter city beginning August PSF Four games will be played at the time Later. on September 2, the Crackers journey to the Pelican city for three games. New Orleans has 25 more games. of which Is are on the road. Atlanta has 26 more games, of which 1e are on the road, It's toss-up.
 It would tickle a lot of local fans to see Birmingham beat Atlanta out of the pennant in that final series of ih,I season.
 Personally, we hope Little Rock wins the Southern league pennant, The Travellers have big advantage in that IT of their remaining 26 games are scheduled for their own home grounds. Not only that, but the Travellers have the soft teams for opponents during the rest of the season. They play four with Birmingham, six with Memphis. seven with Nashville, six with Chatta- nooga, three with Mobile. But the Travellers are six games behind They will have to win about 20 of their re- maining 26 games to get in at the fin ish.
 Maybe McGraw wishes he hadn't swapped Causey and a few other play CTS for Arthur Nehf. Causey beat tho Pirates yesterday.
 If the Reds win the rag, we viii pull for the National league in the worlds series for the first time since the Braves, under Stallings, beat the famous Athletics.
 Don't overlook that game at Rick wood between the U. c. T's and the P. As today
 That swimming at East Lake shoult offer the best aquatic events ever seefi in Birmingham.

Boy, page an undertaken. Mister McGraw is ready for the hearse Wow. But that was a double jolt Pat Moran handed his former employer yesterday. When practice season started, Moran was McGraw's trainer; he was hired to look after the pitchers but when Gin cinnati moguls offered him a job as boss of whole team, Moran grabbed it and Muggsy gave him his release. Doubtless the Giant leader will for ever rue ,the day he let Moran leave Gotham.
 The Reds are 6a games ahead of the Giants this morning and have virtu- ally locked" the pennant. Moran's men have only 33 more games to play, while New York has 3S. If Cincinnati breaks even in her remaining games, 3S to beat 'em out. But the Reds will do better than an even break. Don't worry about that brother.
 Meanwhile Detroit continues to fol- low close on Chicagos> heels in the American league race. The crucial se- ries between these clubs will be played in Detroit. beginning Labor Day. Three games still separate them, but we have hunch that the Tigers will nose out the Sox and battle Cincinnati in the worlds series What would Ty Cobb do in worlds series? Incidentally, Detroit winds up the season in Chi cago.
 We had almost forgotten to mention that the Barons open four game se ries in Little Rock today. The Trav- elers still have an outside chance for the pennant and they are going to make it awful tough on Moley's boys. Whitey Glazner is slated to hurl for the local favorites today.

Over W. I. Pnelts & Co.'s wir.

New Orleans, August 15.-The cotton market lacked any very decided trenc today, responding readily to orders either way. There were times when it acted oyersold and bulged strongly but at oth- CTS 1t siumped readily as eyer. From the opening net declines and net ad- vances succeeded each other rapidly, the trading months at their best standing 42 to 52 points over yesterdays close and at their lowest 19 to 30 points under. Late in the day the market was at a net ad- vance of about 25 points.
 Declines of the day were mainly due to the continued attacks on high prices. the ultimatum sent to Mexico by this country, slumps in foreign exchange and the weakness in the market for cotton goods while the upturned were caused by the unfavorable weather over the bel. and the eagerness of shorts to take profits.-Shepard & Gluck.

By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, August 15.-(Special) Forney Johnston of Birmingham, rep resenting the national association of owners of railroad securities, star witness today before the House inter state commerce committee, predicted national industrial calamity unless Congress extended constructive relief.

Over stewart & Co., Wire

Messrs John F. Clark & Co., wire us today as follows:
 Our market opened we'll in the face of a material decline in the Liverpool mar ket. which was 20 worse than due. First trades here were 10 lower to ' higher. showing that the market is pretty well liquidated and that this price level is regarded as hardly Justified when the cost of production and the crop situa- tion is considered. Heavy Wall street selling during the early part of the sec ond hour brought a reaction of about N points: sending December into the new low ground at 2s.ss and October to 3c.0s. also a new low, from which figure prices rapidly advanced 70 points. The decline furnished the trade good opportunity for buying and no doubt many contracts went into the. hands of consumers and the foundation is probably laying fo- ultimate advance on the fumdamentalr of supply and needs. The weather con- ditions remain very bullish.
 Spots are unchanged: middling 30.SS; sales 300 bales.-S. R. Stewart q Co.

Shannon & Co.'s Letter

New York, August 15.-The advance from the early low level extended to 3l cents for October and 31.02 for January or A to 50 points above last nights clos ing figures and 75 to IT points above the low level of the morning. There was argument on the floor as to whether this represented turning point in the market or signified little more than a desire to cover shorts for over the weekend. A good deal of buying appeared to come from Wall street sources, and 1t was thought probable that owing to the holi- day in stocks tomorrow Wall street op- orators were covering today in order 10 have the three-day adjournment clear ot market anxieties.
 On the whole the talk on the floor taken in connection with the action of the market suggested that sentiment was perhaps shade less bearish, but not yet bullish. The idea that this morning s rally reflected healthier technical posi- tion rather than any material change in Fundamentals, left the argument open as to the merits of the latter. and as to whether there had been sufficient change in them to justify the decline from 3S cents for October since the end of July

R. D. Burgers Letter

New Orleans, August 15-The market continues nervous and unsettled, due to the campaign against profiteering, unrest of labor, weakness of cotton goods and foreign exchange and because of want of better spot demand in the south. b The drive against the high cost of liv- ing appears to have only begun. as a broadening of the food law is being
 urged, and if adhered to. it is claimed the backbone, of profiteering can be broken in 60 days.
 Demand sterling sold at near the lowest previous low record this morning, touch
 ing 42ss., rallied little later, but some
 other foreign rates reached the lowest
 point on record.
 Second hand holders of print cloths and sheetings in New York who had bought more than they intended to use are re- leasing goods freely and prices were I'much weaker
 First hands held steady. and jobbers , appear to regard conditions hopefully. In marketing this years cotton crop, farmers are planning to make sales at a {, reasonable profit, and as the cost Of growing the staple is very high, it is likely they will not sell freely when the new crop comes in unless they are paid 90 cents or more for their product.-H and B.
