the big circuit resembled a circular

THE COTTON MARKET
Wagon Receipts 1647 Bales
Mere Than Last Year
Today's Price is 14 U Cents Against
H Last YeMwReceipts tip to
Today 8,124 Against S.417 For he
Same Time Last ; Year Kxpert.
eneed Cottov Men Think That
"Prtoo WH O Hlgheew -J-
; The local, cotton' market is m6re
encouraging to the producer this year
than in several previous years. The
price's are far above last year, and
steadily rising, and it Is the opinion
of men experienced in the cotton con
ditlons that the high-water mark has
not yet been reached.
The wagon receipts on the local
market up to date amount to 5,124
bales, against 3,477 for the same
time last year. The reasons for this
increase Is that the local mills be
gan the season With a short supply
and have been ; using local cotton,
thereby forcing the price upward to
a certain . extent. The prevailing
price today on the streets in 14
cents per pound. Last' year at this
time the price was 9ft.
Probably the greatest reason for
the sharp advance are due to the re
port that Patten is bulling, the mar
ket and the government estimate.
It is freely predicted that if Pat
ten is in the market, and most peo
ple believe he Is, that the price will
reach 17 cents. There Is no doubt
but that powerful bull interests are
at work, and the recent success of
Patten in the wheat market and his
reported connection with , the cotton
market has given a decided bullish
tone to cotton conditions.
The government estimate, based on
crop conditions. Is that the crop this
year will be around 11,000,000 bales,
which is over $,000,000 less than last
year's crop.- According to the law of
supply and demand a crop of 11,000,-
000 bales should naturally bring from
15 to 17 cents' per pound. N
The best informed cotton men say
that this year's crop in this section
will be about the same as that of last,
but that the people, as a general rule,
are selling faster. ; There are some
farmers in this county who have not
sold a bale this year. One man . has
about 200 bales stored away, and
there are several others who are hold
ing, but these are exceptions rather
than the rule.
It is thought that all the mills In
this section will continue running
full time, while the yarn market has
not advanced with the cotton market;
mill men had rather, run than lose
their operatives. All the mills along
the Seaboard Rir Line, going north,
will continue, said a cotton man this
morning. - Reports from Henderson,
Franklin, Wake Forest, and .other
places confirm the belief that there
will be no curtailment In this section
With the mills using local, cotton,
the government estimate -of Only 11,-
600,000 bales, and Patten bulling the
market, together with the fact that
the crop is being .'marketed faster
than other years, leaves little doubt

New Orleans, Oct. 30 "The plan
for a deep waterway is an accomp
lished fact. What we need now
action," declared Wm. Kavanaugh,
president of the lakes-to-the-gulf
deep waterways association, in his ad
dress at the opening of the conven
tion today. "The history of the Mis
sissippi river has been a story of in
action and niggardly appropriations
which have been fought through by
the rivers nd harbors Committee,
and. through congress without rhyme
Or reason. The whole valley Is sick

to be completed at a certain date,
and that date must not be much more
remote : than the completion of the
Panama Canal.
Mr,, Kavanaugh said that the neo-
ple looked to President Taft for the
execution of the great task. He re
ferred to the executive's trip down the
river, saying: "He has seen the rich
est farm lands In the world crumbling

ing in its waters; he has seen levees
that protect. 32,000 square miles of
this rich alluvial threatened by these
caving banks; , he has seen the re
mains of uncompleted revetments
that have been torn away by the
river, because a neglectful congress
had not provided for their comple
tion; he has seen a thousand-mile
channel unburdened because a single
modern vessel, the docks of its many
cities unmarked by a single installa
tion of modern terminal apparatus.
"There was a day when the Mis
sissippi was considered an untamable
stream, which shifted its channel and
devoured its banks at will. Today we
are able to show the president of the
United States two remarkable chan
ges, one of these a river which, in its
most difficult and most readily shift
lng parts, has been bound down by
the engineers to a fixed channel,
with permanent banks, that has been
forced to scour its own bed, and per
mit the- passing of deeper ships. .
''The other is a great garden land
Of soil worth from $100 to $200 an
acre, capable of producing m crops
every year enough money to pay
many times , over the entire , cost of
producing a 14-foot channel from
Chicago to New Orleans, and this soil
protected from waste only by these
same engineering devices wMcq, have
held the -river in Its fixed bed and
which make the deep waterways.
"We have shown him this, and now
we are ready to ask him to extend the
revetments which do this work into
every bend on the Mississippi, and to
carry this deep waterway and the
protection to farm lands adjacent to
it throughout the course of the Mis
sissippi.
, "We wish to go further than this
improvement and to see some broad
general plan adopted which shall
cover the Whole control of the water

tions,";1 ;v-. ;..'. '-
ThO speaker said that when cong
ress convenes this "winter It will have
to consider seriously - for . the first
time the .great problem of the con
servation of the water Which Presi
aent Roosevelt foresaw, ana among
othef things the . establishment of
some big central bureau, probably n
department of public works to under
take tne enure control or our pun
ning wafers. ,
'But," said he, "theideep waterway
must not wait for this. In the floods
and .in low water, a 14-foot channt-l
can be easily maintained,"
Mr. Kavanaugh quoted President.
Taft as having said that in order to
solve the transportation problems wp
must have recourse , to'' our water
ways, and continued: "The problems
of transportation multiply with tho
increase of prosperity and the presi
dent of the nation who is' so certain
that waterways are the solution of
ouf .trouble is the very one who Is
most determined to lead us on to I hp
greatest increase - of prosperity.
Prosperity demands a guarantee or
this: That whatever' turn the gen
eral plans for the conservation of wa
ter may take, the project for the 1-1-
foot lakes-to-the-gulf deep waterway
shall be adopted and pushed on to
completion.
If the plan the waterman must
be adopted' as a whole, and must t
adhered to from start to:finish."
The speaked declared that the sen
timent of the Mississippi Valley is so
determined on this project that a
congressman who would refuse sanc
tion to It could not be returned to
Washington.
The question, "Do the people rule"
