oTHER MARKETS
NEW Y3aK STOCK MARKET

New York, March Cotton oil,
common and preferred stocks, attract
ed attention on the stock exchange
to-day by sharp breaks. The first
sold off 2ss to 1915 and the preferred
dropped 5 points TO 81. The declines
were attended by rumors that the divi-
dend on the preferred stock, due in
June. would not be earned. Subse-
quently the preferred stock covered
one-half the loss. A representative of
the company made the following state
ment to a reporter of the Associated
Press; There is nothing in the condi-
tion or outlook of the company's busl-
ness to discourage the security hold
ers The figures for the operations
of the five months of the fiscal year
up TO February ], have been completed
and are more favorable than for the
corresponding period of last year. They
show more than the interest on the
debenture bonds of the preferred stock
of dividend requirements for the five
months. 1t has been incorrectly state
ed that the interest on dividends of the
year had been earned in the five
months. The management believe
their business will improve and already
in some departments, encouraging re-
turns are noted, particularly in
the cake and seed departments.
The feature of to-day's stock mar
ket was marked activity, attended by
pronounced weakness in Tobacco. The
operations in that stock accounted for
ia. 100 shares out of an aggregate for
the day of 5000 shares. Liquidation
by insiders was noted and the profess
sional traders were active, depressing
the stock to 713s. In the late specula-
ton a recovery of two per cent ensued
chiefly on covering by shorts. The old
argument against Tobacco is still APP
pIicable, namely the persistent policy
of the management TO carry on the
war against the outside manufactur-
ers. 1t is stated that the recent rnmors
of a probable impending issue OF about
81 100000 in new preferred stock are
based upon the fact, now alleged that
certain insiders who took scrip in re-
turn for advances made by them will
now be paid in the manner suggested
The general list was devoid of fea-
ture. aside from General Electric which
advanced ~ on manipulation by a new
pool in the stock. Fractional conces-
sions occurred in a number of in
stances, in sympathy with the depres-
sion in Tobacco, but in the last hour
a general upward movement carried

ABATE THE NUISANCE.

On last Monday evening the city
council. at the suggestion of Mr.. E. NJ.
Taubman, took the first step toward the
abolition of what is called ''stock sale
day." The proper committee was in
structed to draft an ordinance prohibit
ing the promiscuous trading of horses
within the city limits.
This is a move in the right direction
''Stock sale" is a nuisance that the
public demands abated. On the first
Monday in each month the professional
horse traders bring their droves of Grip
pied, spawned, knock-kneed, diseased
horses here, and every horse in town is
subjected to the dangers of contracting
contagious disease. Beside this, "stOck
sale" brings a crowd that is not desira-
BILE. They fill the street with their
diseased stock and the air with their
oaths and whisky breaths. The citizens
of this city demand of the city council
that it abate this nuisance.

THE

Thomas jefferson with unrivaled die
ton and t~ranscendant patriotism l2O
years ago voiced the sentiment of the
people in the grandest, the purest, the
noblest manifesto ever issued by prince
or people. 1t WAS the Declaration of
American Independence of British
domination and British oppression.
Last week at Chicago the great party
which jefferson founded, prompted by
the highest devotion to country, issued
another declaration of American indie
pendence of British domination in our
financial legislation.
The convention held at Chicago dealt
with subjects fraught with much import
to the free men of the country. The
manifesto that it issued is the product
of patriotism. 1t declares for those
principles upon which freedom is based
and denounces foreign interference and
alien control of the great system of
finance, IN the solution of which ques-
ton the liberties of the American
people are involved.
The democracy threw off the yoke of
plutocratic influences and in no uncer-
tain words took its stand upon a plat
form of equal rights to all and special
privileges to none. 1t cast aside the
attempted domination of eastern money
changers and took its stand as the party
of and for the people.
The platform which it adopted is
clear and strong. 1t is Invested of all
useless verbiage and drawn in such
unmistakable terms that ''he who runs
may read" 1t was adopted by a people
who know their rights. and knowing
dare maintain" 1t was adopted by a
people who had passed through the
fiery furnaces of political affiiction
caused by the greed of plutocracy, and
it was issued as a declaration to the
money changers that their devilish
schemes of robbery were to be no longer
tolerated.
The people spoke and from the
golden gate to the Atlantic shore a
nation smarting under the oppression
of class legislation has taken up the
proclamation, confident that in the
final consumation of its purposes they
will find a panacea for all the grievous
ills inflicted by a succession of gold bug
administrations.

THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION

THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION.
The time is approaching for the dem
ocrats of the fifth district to nominate
a congressman. The INTELLIGENCER
believes that the key to the situation is
the nomination of a Lafayette county
democrat. The fact cannot be disguised
that the democrats of Jackson county
are divided in factions. Any man
from Jackson, who may be nominated,
will meet with more OF less personal
opposition. Among those who have
been mentioned thus far, there is not
one who is not in some way identified
with the local fights in Kansas City.
A Lafayette countyan, who has never
been interested in the personal fights
of Kansas City, can consolidate both
factions and be elected. We are aware
of the fact that Jackson county has the
power and can nominate whomsoever
she chooses, but as Lafayette county has
not had the nominee for fifteen years
common political courtesy would sug-
gest that she be given II chance to
name the next congressman. The can
didate whom Lafayette will present Is
an able, fearless, honest democrat, who
in congress and out of congress would
represent his constituents. In asking
Jackson county to nominate such a
man, Lafayette has no apologies to
offer. The justice of her request and
the qualifications of her candidate,
Judge VIM. Young, are the grounds
upon which she bases her hopes for
recognition and we believe that the
loyal democracy of jackson county
will heed the request.
