lower prices than had been quoted in the advertised bids, the new law apparently had taken eognizanoe of the fact that this meth. cd, honestly pursued, might save coa- siderable sums on the supply bills. At that time the commission by pur- chasing on the open market was say. ing the state approximately $3,000 a month. Later, however, the bids be- came considerably more reasonable, merchants began to complete for tho penitentiary business, and it is now probable that the bid prices for sup plies will not exceed the open market prices.
 The appropriation law was not to become effective until October 1, hence the provision allowing open market purchasing also was not effective un- til that date. The act provides that the commission is authorized to reject al bids and to purchase in the open market, provided that the market prices are lower than the bids of the lowest responsible bidder. State Au- ditor James Guy Tucker, who recent ly stopped the open market purchas- ing by pointing out to the commission the law then in effect, has advised the commission that open market pur- chasing after October 1 is entirely law full provided the commission shows that such purchases are at lower price than those quoted in bids by the lowest responsible bidded The com- mission, however, will continue to advertise for bids.

MORE ATTENTION TO
 GINNERS' ATTITUDE

Little Rock Sept. 23.-Most of the price movements in the past week have consisted of the up and down swings incident to the readjustment of the technical position,' said k. D. Woolridge, of the firm of Munds X Woolridge Thursday. Tn the excite ment following the frs tnews of the Texas storm much indiscriminate buy ing made its appearance and little at tention was paid to any feature ex- cept calamitous crop news.
 AS the present week has progress ed, there has been more disopisition to consider the attitude of spinners. the offtake of goods and certain as poets of the spot situation. Some of the larger firms doing business as shippers or exporters have taken the stand that the mounting basis" was due largely to the operations of small country speculators in spot cotton, or what are known as stem -winders.' In other words, it is claimed that in this respect much of the strength in spot cotton is fictitious and that the market for the moment and in the away from experienced and conserva- tive buyers by individuals or firms with more enthusiasm than judgment or financial stability.
 This state of affairs is one of the inevitable incidents of bull market. When the position gets unhealthy the equally inevitable readjustment takes place, almost regardless of ultimate results. It is possible that we are passing through a phase of this type at present, and for this reason we be- lieve that those who are operating on the long side should conduct their operations with unusual caution, in order that they may reap the benfits of their foresight.
 Crop developments in the last ten days have tended to confirm claims of further deterioration and shortening of the yield The storm in Texas in- jured the grade over large area, and the damage was minimized only to the extent that cotton had been pre- viously~ gathered. The year 1921 prob ably will stand as record for damage wrought by the weevil and the char acter of the weekly weather report more than confirms private claims concerning the depredations of this pest
 Cotton is being gathered with un- usual rapidity in all parts of the belt. The proportion already picked-that is, in it's relation to the total yield is probably larger than at any time in not surprise us to see the peak of the ginning passed before the middle of November.
 Tn view of the fact that we are entering the period when the market will have to absorb considerable cot ton, both from the carry and the new crop, we are inclined to look for a good deal of irregularity attended by some speculative liquidation or contracts and spots. When this stage of readjustment has been negotiated we believe the advance will he resum ed on scale in keeping with the un- usual conditions by which the cot ton trade is confronted this year

SENATE IS BLOCKED
 BY ANTI-BEER BILL

Washington, Sept. 22.-The stub born wrangle over the anti-beer bill. continuing with unbated vigor, ren- dered the Senate powerless again to- day to proceed with it's extensive legislative program, including the s. 400,000,000 tax revision bill, for which the session was called.
 Republican leaders, endeavoring to fulfill campaign pledges to reduce taxation, were compelled to step aside while the radical 'drys" continued the fight to get action on the Campbell Willis bill, banning beer as medicine Senator Penrose, chairman of the Fi- nance Committee, after several futile efforts to bring the tax bill up, left his seat, appaently in disgust, leaving wod he would renew his attempt to- morrow
 Whether readers can really rally sufficient votes to shelve the bill and make way for tax revision, remains to be seen tomorrow. A few minutes after the Senate met, Senator Ster- ling of South Dakota. leader of the radical drys, gained the floor and moved to proceed to consideration of the anti-beer bill. The motion was carried, 31 to g. Although most sena- tors favored taking up the tax bill promptly, they were fearful of poli- tical consequences as they voted against proceeding to consideration of the anti-beer bill.
 Senator Willis of Ohio. one of the 0uthors of the Campbell Willis bill, went to the White House today and had conference with President bill with the president, but only in- cidentally, he said. He denied reports that he had taken word from the White House to the Senate that the pres dent had given his approval of efforts to continue consideration of the anti-beer bill.
 At ? o'clock the unfinished busi- ness," the Borah bill for free tools for American coastwise ships through the Panama canal, displaced the anti beer bill Senator Borah, in an eff fort to break up the jam, offered to temporarily lay aside the tools bill, but the vets objected. Senator Ster- ling then moved again to proceed to consideration of the anti beer bill. Senator Reed of Missouri proceeded to debate the motion. Senator Ster- ling made a point to order that the motion was not debatable. Vice Presi- dent Coolidge submitted the point of order to the Senate Senator Reed held the floor and debated the question whether the Sterling motion was de- batable. The parliamentary situation remained in this condition until Sena- tor Lodge moved to go into executive session and few minutes later the Senate quit for the day.
 Much of the session was taken up by Senator Shields of Tennessee, Dem ocrat, prohibitionist, who vigorously assaiIed the enforcement methods of the prohibition officials.
