Spectacular Gain
Scored by Cotton

New Orleans, La, Sept. slap
Cotton moved upward nearly So
bale today when trading resumed
after enc of the most surprising
bullish crop estimates in years.
Staging a major upset in cotton
crop expectations, the government
figure of l1.121,OOO bales brought
heavy buying into the New Orleans
market.
In one jump, every option on the
board touched the 12-cent level
when the market opened after the
estimate.
October, selling at 1l.43 cents
earlier in the morning, sold at IL
cents even. December sold at the
same figure and January and
March spllrted SO points to 1908.
The trade had looked for a gov
eminent estimate around 1890, 900
bales, but even the most ardent
bulls did MOI anticipate a lower
figure than 11,5OO,OOO bales.
The market levelled off after the
initial sharp advance. The gains
were maintained and trading was
very active.

other Democratic nominees the great
est majorities we ever have polled
in that section" said Chairman Win
borne. "The only fly in the ointment
is the fear that the widespread popu-
larity Of our candidates will cause
some of us to get over-confident and
that the majorities will be cut down
800. There is no danger of defeat
but we won't be satisfied with mere
victory this year. We want a land

The governor, without the know

GASOLINE PIPELINE
FROM PORT TALKED

In The Sir Walter Hotel,
p a e RASk ERVILI.

-.
Raleigh, Sept 8.-The building of
a gasoline pipeline from one of the
ports in the State-either Wilmington
or Morehead City-to Raleigh or
Greensboro, or possibly even farther
west, is being considered by the new
State commission appointed to study
all phases of the gasoline price and
distribution problem in North Caro-
lima, it was revealed today by Oscar
G.. Barker, of Durham, chairman of
THE commission. Since one of the
major detectives of the gasoline COM
mission is the reduction of transpor-
Hation rates on gasoline in North
Carolina, it is going to give serious
consideration to the building of a
State-owned or State-controlled pipe
line system from one or both of the
States major ports, Barker said.
"At first glance, the building of a
gasoline pipeline system did not seem
to be worth considering" Barker said
But the more the commission has
looked into the matter, the more in
teresting it becomes. In the first place
more than 3OOOOO,O0O gallons of gas
oline are shipped into North Carolina
every year, most of this coming into
either Wilmington or Norfolk and
being distributed by rail or tank
truck over the State.
"There are indications that if the
State should build or substitute the
building of a pipeline which would be
available to all the gasoline companies
alike and at a charge considerably
under the present freight and truck
rates. it would be used extensively
and thus make possible materia
reduction in transportation costs. Fol
the railroads and truck lines would

Washington, Sept. 8.-Democrats

that President Roosevelt can lose the
two big states of New York and Penn

Indeed. the Democrats, though Of

electorally potent commonwealth.
Upstate New York unquestionably
is Republican. New Dealers are hope
full that Manhattan will offset it, but
Tammany is split. 1t will give Dem
ocratic majority, but doubtfully ade-
quate to counteract the upstate folk.
