Cotton and Stock News
 Ouer Priuate Tickers
SHANNON < CO.'S LETTER

New York. October S.--(Special)-. Tn spite of the bearish speculative sentiment in cotton, based on the conviction that producers will pres ently be forced to liquidate their holdings through pressure of large early receipts, and so supply the con tracts needed to cover short com mtments at a satisfactory profit the market. while rather heavy, is com paratively steady at the decline. and offerings are being gradually passed along into strong trade hands. with good treason to believe that further declines would run into an expand ing demand from those sources, as advices from goods markets indicate fairly well sold up condition tD January l, with the movement Of both cloths and yarns Increasing. It is rumored that some large sales of cloth will be presently consummated in Manchester for India and China account. Prices there are reported hardening.

F0REGO DECORATION
 OF BRITISH SOLDIER,
 RETURN U. s. TROOPS
By Associated rress

Paris, October S.-The American picked battalion from the army Of occupation which has been held in Paris week awaiting arrangements by the British government for placing the American congressional medal or honor upon the tomb of the British Unknown soldier" in Westminster abbey by General Pershing, is return ing to Coblenz tomorrow.
 The decision not to hold the troops here any longer was due to failure of the British government to fix a date for the ceremony, it was said. Gen eral Pershing has been holding him self in readiness all week to go to London, and the troops were expected to leave for London last Tuesday.
 The American embassies in London and Paris have been in oommunica- ton over the situation, but the only explanation given to General Persh- ing by the embassy here was that such matters usually take long time to arrange.
 General Pershing was entertained ct luncheon today by Marshal Joffre and will be one of the guests at luncheon to be given by Marshal Foch on the 18th.

All with the intent to provide, contingencies excepted. that electric energy may be developed at Mitchell dam in the early months of 1928.
 Buy at Home
 All the supplies used in the build ing of them will be bought from Alabama merchants, when possible. It will take approximately 250,00o bar rels of cement to construct the dam, which will be 70 feet in height and 1,500 feet long.
 The dam will develop from 100000 to 10000 horse power, which will be one of the strongest yet developed in the south. The dam will cost, when completed, between $S,0oo,0Do and $a 900, ,000. Preference Is to be given the Alabama merchants in buying and the Alabama manufacturers In getting the needed manufactured ar ticles, and Alabama labor needed in the construction and operating. It Is to be monument of purely Alabama composition.
 Men are now being employed and at least 700 are at work It Is ex- pected to put 1,50O more to work im- mediately, as the plan for construc- tion calls for the number The living surroundings of the laborers are said to be of very sanitary order and @ modern sewerage plant is now being instlled A modern water system for the use of the houses has already been installed.

 sTEwARTs COTTON LETTER
 Since the issuance of the two i'm portant government reports on last Monday the market has spent the week hS Q more or less scalping af- fair. with the tendency ranging some what downward. which was said to be caused by the bears taking ad- vantage of the report on the condl- ton being a point or so above pre- dictions, gathering in unfavorable news from foreign countries and having no more important reports facing them this month. However. the cotton market has held we'll under this pressure and remains in a posi- ton that Is very pleasing to those looking for much higher levels In the near future.
 The opening today was easier on heavy selling by the Japanese in- terests, but met d good trade de mand, as December in New Orleans reached the tskc mark, which ral- lied prices 90 to 90 points. The mar lset was smaller and much of the trading in the second hour was local. There was frost in the central and southw estern portion of the belt. but the market paid little attention to this, as there Is not much cotton to Kill, Advices by cable from Lan- cSshire were more encouraging, stat ing that many mills that had been

 The board of directors have
 approved new type of instaiIa-
 ton which it's chief engineer,
 Oscar G. Thurlow, and his as-

 some months pnst, which will
 permit utilization of the flow of
 the river to a greater extent than
 any system of hydrOeIectrtc de-

 and thus aid materially in the
 conservation and utilization of
 the natural resources of the state.
 This development Is along the lines practiced by tie company of provid- ing in it's service to the public the most modern, efficient and up-to- date features of construction and operation of hydroelectric system It Is the policy of the company, its officers say, to afford the most per feet service possible to the users of electric energy, and the completion of the development at Mitchell Dam will double the amount of power now available from the Coosa river.

 Mir. Martin awarded a contract for three 24000 horse power turbines and governors to the Allis-Chalmers com pany of Milwaukee, and three elec- trio generators to the General Elec- tric company, of Schnectady.
