The contest between political news
and cotton facts was again keenly
present in the market today Liver
pool closed better than due and weather
conditions are again bullish; money
g again cheap, but a wave of selling
came in the market early, based it is
believed in the determination indicated
by management Of railroads and larger
Industrial interests of contesting the
attitude of labor. The stock market
reflected this determination by the de-
moralization in that market, even with
money lending at Az per cent
1t is also hard to judge to what ex-
tent bearish views in connection with
the food price reduction campaign will
be reflected in the cotton market.
Todays market within limit of about
125 points and closed barely steady 100
net lower than Wednesdays close:
Spots are rs off; middling $780, sales
700 bales.
Interior spot markets are quiet at the
decline with very little business done.
Unless there is a sharp decline in the
price of cotton goods. the technical
&C ndition Of the market again being
strengthened, higher prices seem war
ranted for raw cotton.-S r.. Stewart

New York August THE disposition
to sell the market on advances Is quite
to strong at the present and prices
were again under pressure during the
later trading. and the advance was
not equal to absorbing the offerings.
The basis for the selling is labor
troubles reported at mills weakness
in foreign exchange, and reports of
cancellation of cargoes for the central
empires on account of inability of buy
ers to supply satisfactory reimburse
ments. Advices from dry goods centers
are as bulhsh as ever, but traders fear
that later developments at the mills
will mean curtailment of consumption.
AS against this are reports that pro-
ducers are very busy making financial
arrangements to protect their interests,
so that they may not be compelled to
sacrifice their cotton and the posi-
hility Of the yield proving even smaller
than the present lowest estimate. Lack
of labor makes itself felt in harvesting
the crop practically as much as In
spinning It, Shorts and trade interests
W it'll Liverpool have been the best
buyers. Wall street houses have sold,
and there has been some selling on
southern orders, though whether for
hedge account or speculation would be
hard to say. Exports were 1000 bales.
1t is nothing more than a trading mar
ket at present and very sensitive to
small orders either way.-Post and
Flagg.

management of the Birmingham Rail-
way, Light and Power company, re-
questing that stops of the North Bes-

tition that the residents of this sec

quent stops delay the cars and during
certain hours the number of passen-

comfortable. The fact that the Ems

trips is urged as a reason for the
change in the system.
A former request from the Besse-

backed by the petition of the citizens,
the request will bring about the ad-

WHEAT CROP IN
THE NORTHWEST



New York August 7.--(SpeciaI Three
northwestern states harvested last year
a grain crop, the aggregate Of which is
represented in two separate lists by bill
IONS. For not only was the number of
bushels harvested very nearly a billion,
but the money received for this grain
was considerably in excess of a billion
dollars.
Theodore Void, who is governor of the
federal reserve bank of the Ninth dis
trsct at Minneapolis. is authority for the
information which has recently been re-
ceived in New York that from the soil
of Minnesota. North Dakota and South
Dakota there was harvested in 1918 grain
including wheat, of course, of the money
value of sl.154, so2. $50.
There is a/striking coincidence between
these figures and the estimates of the ag-
gregate wheat crop of the United States
for the year 1919 The three northwestern
states received last year nearly 81, 200, co.,
COO for thsir grain crops. Washington es-
Inmates that our harvest of wheat in 1919
will be considerably in excess Of a billion
bushels and may in fact approximately be
as large as the money value of the grain
harvested in these three northwestern
states in 1918.
Governor Void is abundantly qualified
to speak with authority and with detailed
in formation respecting crop conditions in
the northwest and the financial relation
of the crops to the people and to the
banks. To him comes information from
all parts of this great region which
can almost be accented on oath " Is

GAS PERMITS IN
ATLANTA REQUIRED
Rules Regulating Sale of
+ Coal, Ice and Food May
Be Put in Force
BY Associated Press

Atlanta, August I'm order to conserve
supplies of gasoline here so that trucks
will be available to perform in part the
functions of the railroads, Mayor ]. L.
Key and representatives of fuel oil com
panies late today announced that gaso-
line would be sold beginning tomorrow
morning only by permit Public utilities,
physicians, hospitals and necessary bust
ness will be exempted
The restriction of gasoline consumption,
made necessary by embargoes resulting
from the railroad shopmens strike, will
be followed if necessary by rules regulat-
ing distribution of coal, ice and food, ac-
cording to the mayor. 1t was estimated
local stocks of food and coal would last
about two weeks.
Practical suspension of freight traffic
on all lines radiating from Atlanta was
in force tonight. Three of the principal
roads issued a joint embargo on all
classes of freight which was effective to-
day. The Seaboard Air Line, Southern
and Central of Georgia accepted only per-
ishable freight and that subject TO de-
lay.
No passenger trains have yet missed
schedule in or out of Atlanta, although
it was stated many were leaving with
out routine inspection and that Pullman
cars had been eliminated from certain
trains.
At the headquarters of the federal adj
ministration in Atlanta and at shopmens
union headquarters it was stated there
was no change in the situation in the
southeast. Action looking toward a set
tlenent of the strike can only come from
Washington, according 70 statements from
each side.
At present the transportation tie-up
more directly affects shipments of com
modities from Atlanta to southeastern
POINTS than incoming freight, it was
stated.

board Of directors Of the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, yesterday fled an
answer to the suit of the trustees Of
the Christian Science Publishing Com
pany, which seeks to restrain the di-
rectors from interfering with the
management of the Christian Science
Monitor.
Mr.. Dittemore was dropped by the
board on March IL last. Mrs. Annie
NJ Knott was appointed in his place.
Both are made defendants in the
proceedings.
Mr.. Dittemore's answer completes
the pleadings. The case probably will
be sent TO a master within the next
few weeks for the hearing Of evil
dence.
Mr.. Dittemore chafges disIpyalty
and mismanagement on the part of
the publishers. The alleged disloyal
attitude Of the trustees has been
known q long time, he claims. Mr..
DitteInore also chaTges his removal
was the result Of his opposition 10

OF trustees, and with Frederick Dixon,

SCHENECTADY: n. Y, April 10

the long range wireless telephone

messages already have been talked TO
the President while he has been
working on the world peace terms in

work has perfected the answering
facilities and next week John H.
