Quested to notify the department

more than fifty or sixty expect to
live in hotels, rather than on the

the country, the reservations must be
completed within the next week, And
by a ruling. of the convention COM
mittee reservations may only be
made through official legion channels.
This is q practice now being fol-
lowed generally in all parts of the
country in connection with large con-
ventions.

 The empire was admitted to the league as result of instructions from Abyssinia, authorizing the delegation to subscribe to an en- gagement respecting tho abolition of slavery. AS the delegates already had power to assume all tho other ob- iigations of tre league. no further impediment to Ethiopia's election existed. The election of the nation was unanimous.

STORM WARNINGS
 SENDS PRICE OF COTTON UPWARD

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-While the tropical storm threat appeared to be passing, the cotton trade was nerv- ous over the prospect for unsettled weather in the southwest tNday and prices ruled generally higher. De- cember advanced to I2S.S2c or 40 points above yesterdays closing quo tation and closed at 2S6Oc with the general market closing steady at net advances of IA to 22 points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 4 to 15 points on more bullish private condition figures and relatively firm cables. There was some selling on reports that the tropical storm was not likely to reach inland and prices reacted a few points right after the call The comparatively small offerings were soon taken however and the market developed decidedly firmer tone during the middle of the day on the outlook for unsettled weather with low temperatures in the western belt, covering for over the approach ing government crop report, and trade buying. The latter was said to include a moderate demand from continental points, as well as from Liverpool, and the advance was ac- companied by private reports that fully 100000 bales of cotton would be cleared from Galveston between now and Monday morning. October sold up to 29,01c and January to 2S.S4c with the active months gen erally showing net adyEnces of 33 to A points after which there was reactions of several points under realizing. No less than six more of the private end-month crop reports were issued today, the condition fig ures ranging from 47.Sc up to 52c land figures on the indicated yield from 9,775,000 up to 11,467,0 ,0o0 bales. Private cables said the Liverpool market was firm on trade buying and that offerings were small. For the first time in months the stock of American cotton at Liverpool showed an increase for the week, but now amounts to only 66,000 bales compared with 49,000 a week ago. Nervousness over the prospect for lower temperatures In the western belt was probably increased by re- ports of frosts at Santa Fe, N. M. Exports today 98.533, making 729,042 so far this season. Port receipts 41,- 065. United States port stocks 4S7,- 307.
