New York Dry Goods Market.

NEW YORK. September 1l.-There Is
no abatement in the strength OF the dry
goods market for staple cotton goods.
and to-days decline in the price OF raw
cotton has been entirely without effect.
Further advances have been reported to-
dav. including advances made on prices
already raised earlier In the week. The
general demand has shown an improve
ment i'm volume. and there Is ample evil
dence that buyers are becoming quite
anxious over the situation, and are more
Disposed than ever. for a considerable
time past TO secure merchandise ahead
of what merely hand-t0-mouth policy
would suggest.

the Virginlas IN a state of half exalta-
tion-hes not in Congress this session,
by the way-came wandering in, drawn
bv Tslbert's wild cries. It didn't oc-
cur to the visiting and exalted states
man that the House was in session. 1t
was empty. not a member in his seat,
and while ne dimly SOW and clearly
heard the resounding Ta,bert, he doubt
less supposed that he was merely prac-
tising-talling. as it were, at mark.
So. with his hat on, he stood amiably
behind the House rail, smiling at the
!one orator.
After a bit Talbert discovered him,
and, turning with the notion, apparent
". Of paying a compliment, he began
to weave this one listener into his dis
course.
And, Mr.. Speaker" he cried. with a
flourish of his arm toward the one pair
of listening ears; the gentleman from
West Virginia has also made the same
assertion on the floor of the House, and
it was unconuadicted."
At this sudden lift into debate" a
look Of displeasure REDEEMED still red
der the face Of the visiting statesman.
Waving a vague hand at the talker, he
exclaimed, in tone Of contempt:
You're a Mugwump"
Then the visiting statesman wander
ed OBVIOUSLY forth into the night and
Talbert was left talking to himself
again. He had driven away his sole
House hearer.
When his speech went South, how
ever in the Congressional Record, it
was literally broken with suggestions
as applause" prolonged applause"
loud and prolonged applause" and at
this point the galleries loudly applaud
ed"
For TWO lone hours Talbert, like the
River Oregon, in the poem, rolled on
and heard no sound save his own dash
ing. Then he made a motion to ad-
ourn. the makeshift Speaker YEARLY
put it to him, Talbert voted for it, and
legislation was over for that day.

LAWS. HE SAYS. NAY BE PASSED TO REMEDY
EXISTING ABUSES.
State Senator Frank d. Pavey addressed the
Woman's League for Political Education yesterday
at No. % West Forty -fourth-st. Mrs. H. NJ Sanders
president of the league presided at the meeting.
which was largely attended. The subject OF Sena-
tor Pavey's address Legislative Control OF Po-
litical Primaries and Conventions"
There is" said Mr. Pavey. "a demand for gen
eral law primaries. caucuses and conventions, so
that the Judges may have something TO rely upon
In giving their opinions contests. An effort will
doubtless be made at the next Legislature 10 secure
further legislation upon this subject and some con-
sentative measure containing amendments to the
law will be passed"
gone so far as TO ask that the State take control
OF all primaries and conventions and that spe-
cIal primary day should be established and that
all political parties should hold their primaries on
that day
The speaker then explained to his hearers about
the chief evils TO be found at primaries The
party managers. he said under the present law
had power 70 strike TIE names OF voters on the
ding the rolls. That means that men who are not
members Of a political organization are allowed
TO enrol their names the party rolls in order to
secure their support for the party managers at
the primaries. 1t has often happened, too, that
members of the organization long since dead have
list while somebody would appear at the primaries
and vote In their names"
Tho proposed legislation Senator Pavey de-
clared. would try TO remedy all these evils. II
would suggest that voter should be compelled
TO reveal the ticket ne voted at the last election
unless the person got seven days notice that such
action was going to be taken at a general meeting
of the organization every member Of which must
also have seven days notice.
