MINERS WILL BE PROTECTED

Washington, October 27.--(Speciah
AS the President has appealed to the
common sense of the miners, nothing
will be said regarding the plans of the
government to sustain the law in its
majesty, until after the miners confer
in Indianapolis Wednesday,
Efforts by Alabama members to sus
tain a statement from the White House
today failed for that reason. 1t was
officially said, however, that any miner
who, because of the agreement between
the miners and the government con-
tinues work despite the strike order,
will be protected by the arm of the
government.
Advices from Alabama are that if
fine car supply is maintained and the
faithful miners protected from thugs,
output in Alabama will continue normal
despite the strike even if it goes into
effect.

New Orleans, October at was almost
altogether a weather market in cotton
today, small declines being caused on
the opening by the favorable weather map
after which there was a quick upward
movement on predictions of more rain
and lower temperatures for the western
half of the cotton region. The early de-
clines were insignificant, amounting to
only to points. The rise was widened
until it carried the market g to SO points
over the close of Saturday. Realizing

vance was lost on most months, Decem-

unchanged. Last prices were Nat net
gains for the day of 70 to Al points.
At times considerable selling pressure
was in evidence, coming from traders
who were convinced that the market held
enough Of a long interest to make it ripe
for reaction. Spots accounts. however,
continued favorable on the whole and
were against anys decided reactionary
tendency. Spots here were II points up,
which made middling 37.5Oc. as against

"a small decline on the opening, after

up to higher levels.
In some sections of the belt the spot

the whole the inquiry for the actual
stun was healthy. In our opinion bad

though It is quite plain that many bull

average.-Duggan & Bouden.
