Forum Of The People
Making Amends To Underwood
Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor of The Age-heraio'
 Some days ago I sent you letter stating m that, among the twenty eight senators of the United States who were recorded as not vot- ing one way or the other on the ratification of the rum running treaty between the Unlteo States and Great Britain, extending the search and seizure limit from three to twelve miles, was Senator Oscar W. Underwood cl Alabama. I also observed that this was his first opportunity after the March II pri' mary to do something toward helping to en- force the eighteenth amendment to the con. stitution "in it's entire integrity" as he had expressed himself to the Alabama legislature and on which statement thousands of prohi' bitionists voted for him.
 In fairness and justice to Senator Under wood, I feel that should now say to you that I am advised that, at the time the vote on this treaty was taken. Senator Under wood was i'll of bronchial ailment and was being treated by physician. unable. oi course, to attend his duties. This illness de prived him of an opportunity to vote in ac- cordance with his utterances in Alabama He does not indicate whether he was Tn favor of the treaty or against it, but in the circumstances I shall assume that he was in favor of it and would have voted for it had he not been too i'll to be present.

The Lady Of DarUn

The lady of dawn all regal Shall walk in her garden of dew Refreshed and made lovely and laughing In morning made splendid and new A morning of worlds freshly starting Out of dust and the shatter of things To the ways of the shadows of parting On her swift, burning wings! The lady of dawn has been summoned By the voice under earth, over sky, To the sessions of beauty beginning With the promise of spring breathing nigh, Lifes rapture upon her. and passion, And the fire of it lighting her face: Oh. wondrous in form and in fashion, Dear lady of grace!
 By dingle and dell and tall mountain Wakes a whisper before herato run Who is daughter of dawn at the fountain In the kiss of the dreams of the sun; After shadows, her glory, transcendent; After winter, her rose to the mouth, And the flame of lily attendant As she scars from the South

portionately with the public information and appreciation of the conveniences and econo- mics of the enterprise. It has not had full test; but there is no reason why it should not ultimately, and at no distant day, prove of great service to the community and a valued public asset.
 Municipal markets in many other cities have filled real needs and have rendered com munity service. With Birmingham's rapid increase in population and proportionate ad- ditional demand for such service as the mu- nicipal market is designed to provide, its ad- vantages to the community will doubtless be increasingly demonstrated week by week.

WHEAT SUFFERS SEVERE BREAKS
Crash Result Of Heavy Selling For July, 1925,
 Delivery

CHICAGO. Oct. 9.--Severe breaks In prices resulted today from heavy selling of wheat to be delivered next JuIy. The quotations for that month fell bAc a bushelf to H.33h on account of excel lent conditions for seeding the new 1925 crop and as result of prospective en. larged acreage. Despite the fact that much of the selling of July was matched by simultaneous buying of May, the wheat market closed unsettled, 1hc to 4%c net lower; December, $l49hQ 1.49k; May, $1.54A and July, $1.34M o 1.35. Corn finished at Ac off to %c gain; oats Ac to 1c down, and provi- sions varying from 15c decline to rise of 10c.
 Aside from the depressing influence of the selling drive against the July deliv- cry, the wheat market had to contend with a prevailing correct opinion that the government crop report due after today's close would be of 8 character which would tend to bring about lower prices for wheat. Under such circum- stances, a sharp advance in quotations at Liverpool failed to have much ef. feet here, and so, too, did estimates that export buying on this side of the Att Iantic today amounted to 100000 bushels. Selling of other months than July was largely of a profit taking character, but was of sufficient volume to be somewhat burdensome combined with uncertainty as to the government report.
 Anticipation that the government crop report would be bullish regarding corn acted as a prop to the corn market. On the other hand, there was a good deal of talk current that feeding of livestock would be on a smaller scale than last year. Numerous traders in oats apeared to have been foreseen by the government figures on oats.
 Provisions were irregular, owing to conflicting influences from the grain market and from hog values.

NEW oRIEAo, UUTToN


 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 9.-The cotton market was only moderately active to- day, the general trend of prices being downward, although there were several good rallies and there was consideraDie trade buying on the scale down which several times lifted prices well aDoVe the low points of the day.
 At the start the market was easier in sympathy with lower LiVerpool than due and because the weather map failed to show the low temperatures and rains that were expected. First prices soon eased off to 23.5Sc for De- cember and 23.60c for January, or S3 to 37 points below the previous close.
 Around the middle of the morning prices rallied on good trade buying ana on some uneasiness caused by mod eratelv low barometer in the Gulf, but there was no official prediction Of Q disturbance to the south. A good part of the early decline was recovered on this rally, December trading up to 2383c, or 29 points above the early low: Later in the session prices eased off again and established new lows at 23.64c for December and 23.57c for Jan uary, or 37 to 40 points below the clos ing levels of yesterday. There was a moderate rally again in the afternoon on a renewal of trade buying, but prices eased off in the final trading, the close showing net losses for the day of 26 to 31 points.
 Although the trade has apparently not yet recovered from the beartsh ef- feet of the government report yester- day, there were many evidences of good trade buying on the dips which caused rallies. Japanese interests were rather liberal buyers on the belief that the 1n- dia crop has deteriorated in promiae. Some of the weakness of the afternoon was due to the announcement of a gen. eral parliamentary election in Great Britain on October 29, which affected Liverpool unfavorably.

COTTON RALLIES
 FOLLOWING SAG
Market Fails, However, To Overcome Losses In
 Early Decline

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The cotton mar ket rallied today after further de- cline in the early trading. December sold up from 2s.s1c to 23.s5c and closed at 23.70c, the general market closing barely steady at net declines of 25 to 34 points.
 The market opened easy at a decline of 15 to 20 points and sold 34 to 30 points net lower under continued sell ing, probably promoted by relatively easy Liverpool cables and a more fa- yoraole weather map than expected Some hedging was reported as well as liquidation, but trades in this were cred ited with buying a good many con- tracts on a scale down, and after the early break to 24.45c for October and 23. roc for January, the market steadied. Fresh buying did not appear to develop in volume,- and according to some prok- CTS the trade which bought on declines showed little disposition to purchase on Advances. Covering was quite active, however, and the firmer tone of the afternoon market was aided by nu- merous reports of a higher spot basis in the south which were taken to mean that holders of spot cotton were not following the decline in futures.
 october sold up to 24S0c and January to 2400c, or about 30 to 34 points from the lowest, but the close was off from the best under late selling and real izing by early buyers.
 The weather news failed to show any sign of the frost some had anticipated in the southwest and rumors of trop- ical storm which contributed to a mid day bulge were without definite con- firmation. Continental interests were credited with buying moderately In the market here, and a private cable from Liverpool said the continent placed a tv.NA 4ntN n crop indication of 12,499 900 bales.
 Port receipts today, 59,636. United States port stocks, 703 ,869. Exports, 15,- 396, making 1,151 ,064 so far this season.
