WASHINGTON, Aug. II Omitted
Press) .-President Harding has
decided TO postpone his mes
cage to Congress on the rail-
strike situation pending the
outcome OF peace negotiations be-
tween the railway executives and
leaders OF the non-striking railroad
labor organizations. which opened in
New York today.
The President announced his de-
cision to withhold the message tenn
porarily in telephone conversation
with Senator Watson. Ind, Republi-
can leader in the Senate.
The message. however. will be de-
livered later even should the rail
strike be settled as a result OF the
New York negotiations.
As a result 1t is uncertain when
Mr.. Harding will go before Con-
gress but he probably will do so
within a week.
The Presidents action was TAX
en- as an indication that he is hope
full some solution OF the rail strike
may be reached at the New York
meeting and that the coal strike set
tlement effected at Cleveland. may
be broadened as the result OF the
conference Of anthracite operators
and United Mine Workers chiefs.
opening in Philadelphia today.
Officials, however. we're making
no predictions OF an early end OF
the rail strike. despite their hope
ful attitude. The Presidents de-
clsion to postpone his message came
after Congressional advisers strong
~ urged such a course. in the fear
that his recital OF the governments
moves 20 bring peace and the out
line Of the positions taken by the
two factions might prove some
hindrance TO the New York confer
ence.
In the present situation. with a
possible settlement pending. the
President has naturally not decided
or what measures ne Will suggest TO
Congress for ending the dispute.
II Is known, however, that when
he does address Congress he will |
make recommendation for legisla-
ton that will tend TO prevent a re-
OF the disastrous rail and 4
coal strikes in the future.
Mr.. Harding also will ask that |
Congress grant Secretary OF Com
merce Hoover's request for legisla-
ton 20 check profiteering In coal this
winter when a serious shortage is

sTEwART's LETTER

Birmingham, November 3.-The Liver pool futures came over slightly better than due with fairly good sales of 5000 bales at an advance of IF points in their mid ding. Cables from Manchester continued optimistic. Our markets opened Is to 20 points up and continued onward to new higher levels, the December option in New York selling above 26c, the market ruling strong during the entire session with oc- brought in more buying. The finals were 50 to 60 points above last nights close and around the highs for the day.
 The National Ginners' crop estimate of 9,450,0o0 and ginnings of S14,0O0 bales is sued before the opening caused a scramble among the buyers. especially those who have been waiting for a good reaction be- fore placing their orders, tie buyers find ing offerings much smaller than the de- mand. The spot market followed the ad vance in futures Heavy sales with continued good demand reported from the southern markets. Quotations at Calves ton and Houston were 24.70c and at New York, 25.15c. The cloth markets were strong in the east Fall River reporting sales for the week at 200. 900 pieces. The weekly spinning figures were better than expected, at 3s5,000 against 427 900 last year. The insight was 607,000 bales.
 The next government crop estimate is due early in December and should they confirm the National Ginners figures. mora talk will be heard about BOG cotton. While good reaction has been looked for by many conservative traders for some time 1t has failed to come and even at these prices we do not think it advisable to sell short of cotton with the expectation of get ting big profits.-S.

 Even with statement of improvement in some quarters, the improvements in busi- ness remain sharply defined Fluctuations in volume of transactions are naturally to be expected. and contraction of demand in certain lines this week does not mean that progress has suddenly halted.

The sold up positions of various manufacturers. moreover, precludes the acceptance of ad- ditional orders for future delivery, not a few interests being engaged several months ahead. and withdrawing offerings for a time.
