e
A plan to (jet deferred classification
for a number of draftees living near
Vlldo, Tenn., was blocked when agents
from the department of Justice, caused
the arrest of C. C. Hllman, who has
been bound over to await action of the

Two others, alleged to have been Im
plicated In the plot, probably escaped
arrest by joining the army
The prosecution of unman was
brought about by W. E. McKlveen, chief

It is alleged that Hllman and two
others had about obtained deferred

but the exemption busrd. handling their
cases, heard the testimony of a man
named W. Moore, which resulted In
placing the defendants In class one.
Later the three erien met Moure, It Is

ROUND THE TICKER
Cotton.
New York. Journal of Commerce re
iew of Wednesday market, said:
"Weight of the crop keeps clipping
prices despite buying by French, Jap
anese and American Interests, big gin
ning estimates for tomorrow. Prices
are coming down steadily under the
weight of the crop, the pressure of sell
ing yesterday and some decline at the
stock exchange."
New York. Hutton A Co.: We still
can see little in the cotton situation
that warrants taking the long side.
New Orleans, The weather map is
rloudy and wet; . temepratures rather
higher. President Wilson's prompt re
ply to Germany Is a surprise and the
answer must be disconcerting because
he states In the plainest language that
the word of the kaiser is no good and
that what the Lnited States and Its
associates In war want is the surrender
of Germany. Shepard & Oluck.
New Orleans. Bear forces controll
ing; may make concentrated effort
for bearish statistics tomorrow, but
weather and technical conditions bull
ish; buying policy advisable; think low
enough Clark to Cotter & Turner.
New Orleans. According to the of

There Is no cold weaTher in sight. Gal

New' York. After early wave of lo
cal short covering, market turned easier
again on renewed Liverpool selling,
narrow, no special features Gwathmey
k Co., to Foster.'
New Y'ork. Do not see how any cot
ton can be brought here to deliver at
present and believe that differences
will tend to widen; there has been con
siderable speculative selling both of
December and January; Liverpool, how
ever, steadily sells March and May.
Hubbard to Reese.
New York. Would certainly sell cot
ton on all strong spots Burke to
Shepard ft Oltick.
New Orleans. Think further liqui
dation likely, though much depends on
news as received and attitude of spot
holders. Shepard & Gluck. ,
Ne wOrleana Advances are not wbll
Mistalned because of nervousness over
tomorrow's ginning figures. The report
Is due at 9 o'clock and a total of about
7.000,000 bales is expected. Fair and
cooler weather Is the forecast for the
western half of till belt Shepard &
liluck. ,
New York There are indications that
large traders consider the extended
short Interest for lllverpool In rather
iiangerous position. S. T. Hubbard to
Keese. e
New York Moderate trade demand
met by hedge selling and scattered
liquidation. Advices indicate spots ac
cumulating South. Market may have
rallies, but think tendency still down

New York Heavily oversold; acts like
recovering, but no Investment demand.
Washington says no price fixing. lluh
