July 19. President Finley, of the Southern Railway Company, was the principal speaker last evening at a meeting- ot cne directors of the Appalachian Ex position and business men of Knox vllle, his subject being "The Develop ment of the Appalachian Region." He emphasized very strongly the economic strength of the Southeast im section of the. United States jrowing out of its iiatural resources and climatic advantages, and express ed the opinion that no locality was more favorably located or better fit ted by its natural resources for pro gressive development than the South ern Appalachian region. He pointed out the great advantage anjoyed by the Sou In its suprem acy In cotton production, and urged the importance of constantly en leavoring to strengthen this advan tage by bringing about the general idoption of methods that will result in the more economical production if cotton by obtaining larger yields per acre and that will enable the Southern cotton planters to keep pace with the ever-Increasing demand of the world. He did not advocate doing this by growing cotton to the ex clusion of other crops, but rather by diversified agriculture and live-J -itock raising as a means of conserv ing and building up soil fertility. Speaking of the advantages of the Souttieastern States for raising live rtocfc and for the dairy industry, Mr. Finley referred to the accessibility of narkets, to the mild winters and long grazing season, to the increasing de mand for meat and dairy products, ind to the fact that, as a result of the cutting up of the Western ranges Into farms, a larger proportion of the neat supply of the country must be farm-grown. He spoke of the cattle tick as having been, in the past, a handicap to the live-stock and dairy !ng industries of some parts of the South, and said: , "The management of the railway xmapany that I have the honor to represent considers the development t the live-stock and dairying Indus Ties in the Southeastern States of iuch great importance that we have recently appointed a live-stock agent ind a dairy agent to devote their en tire time to working in co-operation lth the farmers along our lines for 'he development of these Industries, tn co-operation with the State Com nissloners of Agriculture and the United States Agricultural Depart ment, we are also aiding In the dis semination of Information as to the Hnportance of eradicating the cattle tick and the best methods of doing It." - AMERICAN RANCHERS ARE THREATENED BY MEXICANS.

July 19,-There was a continuation of yesterday's activity and excitement In the cotton market this morning and a further sensa tional break in prices, particularly in the old crop months, which were evi dently depressed by renewal of bull liquidation. Inside the first half hour August contracts sold off to 13.00 or 34 points under the closing figures yesterday, w&ne July broke from 13.70 at the opening to 13.22. a net decline of 42 points, and the old crop position ft this level showed the tremendous loss of $4 to $5 per bale from the closing prices of Saturday and of from $12.76 to $14.26 per bale from the season's high record. New crop positions suffered . loss severely today but October and December contracts sold off to 12.13, a net decline of from 9 to 12 points and nearly $3.50 per bale below the closing figures last week. It seemed the opinion around the ring that the Scales Interests liquidat ed the very large line of new crop con tracts yesterday and that leading old rop bull Interests, including copper people, were heavy sellers of the near months today, both In Liverpool and New York. The -decline in old crop months was checked during the morning by the demand from leading spot and trade, nteresis, wnne tne market continued very nervous and unsettled 'with , trad ing extremely active and the South a heavy seller, presumably against a record-breaking prospective crop. The tone appeared somewhat steadier late in the forenoon and it looked as If speculative liquidation was a little less urgent. Judging from the great volume of selling during the past 48 hours, both concentrated and scattering, the long interest in the market has been a very heavy one. Estimates are cur rent that successful bulls of the past two seasons have experienced se vere losses through attempting to bull the market on the strength of old crop statistics and the droughty con dition in Texas during June.

The tariff Committee of the American Cotton Manufacturers' Association, repre senting a doxen Southern States, held an all day executive session here to day framing the po.ltlon of the Southern textile manufacturers en the proposed revision of fne cotton goods tariff.

Miller, Jr., to Chairman Un derwood of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Repre sentatives. The Southern manufacturers, sum marising the terms of the letter, are opposed to any revision that will in crease the percentage of Importation to manufacturers.

They oppose any revision that does not take into account Southern labor conditions.
