 TOSTAY DEATH
fBy the Associated Press)

Little Rock, Sept. 7.-Attorneys fo, the six Elaine negroes under sentence to be electrocuted September 23, to- day sent to the clerk of the United States supreme court application for a writ of certiorari providing for re view of the recent decision of the Ar kansas supreme court nullifying the injunction by Pulaski chancery court against execution of the negroes.
 Attorney General Utley, with whom a copy of the application was filed, said that the action would not stop execution of the negroes as ordered.
 However, attorneys for the negroes asked the United tSates court to re- strain state authorities from carrying out the sentence pending hearing on the application October 10.
 The Elaine cases have had a long and devious course through Phillips county circuit court, Pulaski chancery, Arkansas supreme court and the United States supreme court, the high est tribunal declining to take up the case on appeal. The decision of Jus tice Holmes, announced about one month ago, was the last legal step taken by the defense before the date of execution was set by Governor Me Rae.

WEAK
 AT CLOSE OF
 fRFNz|[D DAY

Sensational breaks followed sensa- tional advances with bewildering rapidity in the New York and New Orleans cotton markets today, the net result being an unsettled and weak close at somewhat lower quotations than yesterday.
 The opening quotations on New Or leans futures this morning were at advances of 200 points, the maximum limit, on all options, while New York opened at advances of S7 to S9 bale over last nights figures. The opcn- ing, however, represented top figures for the day. Weakness developed and the markets gradually worked down until at noon they stood about 100 point above yesterdays final figures. Late in the afternoon frenzied wave of selling broke over the markets sending values crashing downward un- t1 all gains for the day had been wiped out. Only the rule of the ex- changes limiting a days fluctuations to 200 points prevented lower quota tions. In contrast with yesterday, when every option closed at a Ibid" price 200 points higher, today each one closed at an asked" price of 200 points under the high point of the day.
 New York October contracts closed 3S points down at 1850 cents and December 40 points lower at 1880 cents, with no buyers at these prices. New Orleans October and December each closed unchanged at asked prices of 19.49 and 1885 cents, respectively.
 Spots in New Orleans, however, were advanced 100 points to 20 cents for middling, while New York spots were lowered 35 points to 1875 cents. It was the first time in many months that higher quotations prevailed at New Orleans than at New York.
 Liverpool, which closed before the sensational breaks occurred in the American markets, showed advances of 1O6 English points on October and no on December, those months closing at 14.06 and 1895, respectively.
 Only few bales were sold here to- day. During the forenoon the pre- valling prices were 21 to P cents. Sc fas as known no local sales occurred after the break in the big markets.
 Cottonseed, the price of which has been governed mainly by hog and corn rather than cotton values, have re- corded, however, a slight advance dur ing the past week and are quoted here today at $22 per ton.

 According to reports, Lloyd George is opposed to breaking off the nego- tiations.

Aiding its efficiency are very light but
