 On the first ballot 1t is expected that Wood will have 275 votes. Lowden 200 and Johnson 150 It-fs believed these figures represent very nearly the maximum strength of Wood and John son.
 Johnson's cooperation with the or ganization crowd is not so marked here as it was in Washington. John son is taking his own candidacy so seriously that he may not bandon it soon enogh to make combination and have a hand in choosing the cam didate.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, June 6.-The tendency was upward in cotton last week as the result of continued unfavorable ac- counts from the crop and the low con- ditiop figures from the government There were times when the market met considerable liquidation from the long side and there were also a few periods of rather heavy short selling. based on hope of a turn for the better in weather conditions, but at no time was the market under prolonged sell ing pressure. The lowest prices were made early in the week, while the high est levels were made toward the close the market rising 12s to 200 points from the lowest to the highest levels at the lowest the trading months were 29 to AS points under the close of the preceding week under at the highest they were 100 to l42 points over. The close showed net gains of 66 to 102 points. July closed at 3S.56c. which compared with 41c as the closing price on middling spots.
 Middling gained 100 points in, the net results. The main event of the week was issuance by the department of az riculture of the first condition report of the season. placing the percentage at only SPA of normal, the lowest con

 The previous low record was 69,5. made in 1917. The ten-year average for May 25 is 7S.7 and, therefore, the condition this year was 16.3 points un- der the average. remarkable thing about the report was that it was lower than the lowest private bureau reports. While there were no official acreage returns upon which to base crop esti- mates. the trade generally considered that the condition figures pointed to a crop not in excess of ten million bales,
 This week will probably find the market more of a new weather affair than ever. Continued rains would cause heavy buying for private and of ficial accounts from the interior are beginning to tell of weevils in great numbers and some private reports have gone so far as to claim that the weevils are getting the squares as fast as they form on the young plants.
 A return to fair weather would, in the opinion of most traders, bring about a prolonged reaction.

New York. June Especial. )-For- ing to communications from the west ern banks began the latter part of the fiscal year ending June 30, to prepa 3 for the migration of money so to call it. from the east to the west. It was the chief movement of the year and was spoken of as financing the move ment of crops. By July 1 fairly good estimate of the small grain harvests was obtained, although not until later could there be secured reasonable estimate of the corn harvest.
 few years ago some of the bank CTS of the financial district spoke of a change in the midsummer move ment of funds from the east to the west, saying that the farmers were beginning to finance with their own funds that movement. AS excellent au- thority as the late Frederick D. Tap pen, who served a long time as chair man of the Clearing House Associa-
 tion, ventured the prediction as early as the beginning of the present cen
 tury that unless unforeseen conditions arose the farmers would be able with
 in 15 or 20 years to finance with their own funds and with the assistance Of their own banks without any call upon the east the movement of the crops from the fields to the market.
 But this year the farmers will not be able to do this. The wonder Is how much in the way of aid will be asked by the western banks from those
 of the east in order to meet the very demand for assistance. Our own banks are just now engaged in some heavy financing. This has been especially true within the past two or three weeks Nevertheless. as our agricul- ture is spoken of as our chief national asset It is vital that the banks put themselves in position to meet what ever the demand may be for aiding in financing the movement of the crops

man who is credited with having sent
General Shermans famous message

General Corse at Altoona Pass. Ga.
in 1864, died here last night. He was
born in Fairfield. Me. in 1894.
General Sherman's message, Hold
the fort, for am coming" marked
/ the climax of one Of the Civil Wars
hardest fought battles and one given
little place in history. And yet as
symbol of American courage and res
olution it is outstanding.
After the siege Of Chattanooga had
been lifted in 1854, Genreal Sherman
marched on Atlanta, gradually forcing
the Confederate army into that city in
| a series Of hotly contested engage
mcnts. But before the Union lines
could be completely drawn about the
/ city the Confederates under General
! Hood Withdrew and marched around
Sherman's army heading back to-
wards Tennessee. sherman, however,

army was detached as the nucleus of
the forces under Thomas.
on their march toward Tennessee,
the Confederates planned to cut Sher-
mans line Of communication. The
point chosen by the Confederates was
Altoona Pass, an important point
on the railroad line to Atlanta. Two
little forts, on either side Of the rail-
road guarded the pass. A foot bridge
over the tracks connected the forts.
A small brigade formed the garrison.

nearest troops available were at Rome,

ordered 10 re-enforce Altoona Pass
Corse was able 20 move only few
hundred men before the railroad was
cut between Rome and Altoona,

The battle ragged through the night
and early the next October day the
Confederates sent message to Cen
eral Corse asking him to surrender
to avoid a needless effusion of blood.
His answer is a classic:
I'VE are prepared for the needless
effusion of blood whenever it is agree

The attack came from all sides and
the defenders, who numbered only L.
s94 men, were driven into the forts
Five times the Confederates launched
attacks French's division was aided
by regiments from others in Hoods
army. but the Union troops beat all
attacks back. A. one time the forts
on the left side Of the railroad ran out
of rifle ammunition. Volunteers were
called for and an officer dashed
across the little tootbridge, got an
armload of ammunition in the other
( fort and ran back across the fragile
structure, through a terrific hail of
fire, into the redoubt where the sup
ply was so badly needed.
