THE RIGGING TR U,yT
(Karnes County News.l

Local cotton men are having great difficulty in securing bag ging and ties and have already had to get sufficient to cover I5o bales by express. Messrs. Reif- fert & Tips have been in daily eX- pectation of the arrival of car load for more than week past, but so far 1t has not shown up. Tracers are out for it and 1t may arrive today. In the meantime sufficient bagging is kept on hand for the ginning of private bales and the merchants are storing their purchases of seed cotton. The bagging trust has again got its grip on the cotton trade and will squeeze a few millions of dol lars from growers of low priced cotton. Manufactures of bagging and ties are so independent that they will hardly quote prices on their product-and yet the men who are behind these eombina- tions and forming these trusts for the purpose of holding up the people and robbing them, express wonder and astonishment that there is political revolution in progress.

Senator Quay is strictly up-to-date politician, familiar with modern methods in practical politics, and his ap- pointment as chief dispenser of Republican poodle in the South is eminently a proper one and will not lack for appreciation among the Southern contingent.

It Has Caused Stir In speculatioB
 Circles.

Circles.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Now that the first shock of the collapse of the Diamond Match deal is passed, there is general feeling of commendation of the action of the governing committee in closing the Stock Exchange, The fact that large quantities of the stock involved in the deal will be held by those who loaned upon it will probably prevent the full magnitude of the transaction becoming public.
 It is admitted that if the Exchange had not been closed and an attempt had been made to carry on trading under present circumstances a panic would surely have followed. in which many would have suffered materially, and the Diamond Match might have been run down to 150 and the New York Bis cuit perhaps to 80 or 40. AS it is, with the cooperation of the banks and the very rich men who are interested in the Diamond Match deal, no great sacrifice in values occurred.
 There is talk among the members of the exchange, the bankers and the heavy financiers, of forming an underwriting syndicate to take the match stock be- longing to the pool at $170 The banks will not be losers. While they are carrying large amounts of Diamond Match stock they have secured loans on it only up to s160 and sl70 per share
 On New York Biscuit from $75 to $S0 share have been loaned. The stocks, it is figured, are intrinsioally worth these amounts, and powerful organi- zation most likely will be perfected to protect values about these figures sc that the market will not be supported, but it will be saved from bear raids This syndicate would, of course, have to take up some floating stock. but it is argued that 1t would not take long to impress investment holders with the true value of the shares and the offer. ings would cease and the stock eventu- ally seek a higher plane of quotations again. @
 The real business situation of the Diamond Match company is not affected by the failure of the Moores, but the foreign nominations are still pending.
 Chicago banks and bankers who hold approximately s4,0oo,ooo worth of Diamond Match stock as collateral for money loaned, will not press the bor- rowers for settlement. To do so would be unwise and might precipitate panic The Wall street banks are bound to avoid such at all hazards just now.
 The losers by the collapse of the Dia-

WHAT THE SOUTH WILL NOT
 TAKE.
Atlanta Journal.l


 The New Orleans States, which made a strong fight against the free coinage of silver, announces its intentions of supporting the Democratic nominees, though 1t cannot approve the platform on which they stand.
 It says: "The South will swal- low free silver, anything, indeed except the Republican party
 The States goes on to com ment on the sickening record which the Republican party made when 1t was in power in the South and says that the people of this section know nothing ofthat party 'fbut anarchy, bankruptcy, povef- ty and misery
 It adds.
 "A party that plundered Louis jana, alone, to the amount of one hundred millions of dollars in six years, and our sister Southern States in the same manner, can never come to us for recognition in any guise or on any pretense. :
 The States warns the sound money Democrats of the North that Southern Democrats will not join them in support of Mckinley and that the sound money ele- ment in the Southern Democracy considers free silver less evil than Republican domination and its many attendant ills.
 The report that there will be a great bolt among Louisiana Dem ocrats does not seem to be well founded. Both the New Orleans Picayune, which, like the States opposed free coinage, is support ing Bryan and Sewall and the meeting of Democrats who favor an independent ticket, which was held in New Orleans a few days ago. was very small affair.
 The electoral vote of Louisiana is safe for the Democracy.

 mond Match aud New York Biscuit deal will be the Moores and the speculators who are long on the market. The loss of the Moore Bros, it is estimated, IS between s4 900, 900 and $5,00,ooo. They sacrificed all they made in the deal while the stocks were being advanced and all they had before. It is supposed that ill supporting the market the Moores were obliged to take 45 and % per cent of the entire capital stock of the Diamond Match company. They had no doubt of their ability to carry the deal through, but the public un- loaded upon them to an extent the Moores never dreamed of.
