will be located at Hot Springs by this
session of congress. Help it along.
Set down on the croaker and kicker.
Don't permit him to croak in your
presence at least. 1t is high time the
chronic kicker was squelched. All
towns have them to a certain extent,
but Hot Springs. above every other
town, can not afford to have them.
Let every resident who has the welfare
of the town at heart make it a point to
squelch the kicker. Be IS jealous of
the good name of the town and all
efforts that tend to it's upbuilding as
you are of the reputation of your fam.

Our English friends are displaying
great activity in their attacks uponour
new protective tariff measure. They
hail with delight the assertions of their
democratic co-laborers in the United
States that the new law is not produc-
ing sufficient revenue to meet the run
ming expenses of the government and
are doing all in their power to again
slime up" that element in the United
States which has been driven from it's
free trade by the utter failure of the
Wilson law after a three years test.

While the movement of the crop CON

OF the past week are due TO their efforts
TO reduce their outstanding engagements
10 minimum al present quotations Ev-
ergone has in mind the success which
followed the reduction i'm acreage by plan
terS IN 1872 ana 1895 when they secured
nigh prices for their crop in the ensuing
years. WIN they pursue the same policy
the coming season, or will they act as In
1891 and give the trade two large crops
in succession? Upon the answer to this
question VIII depend the future course of
prices. AT the present time, the cotton
which has not passed into the hands Of
consumers Is held by those who have
bought upon the belief that cotton can
hot commercially be produced al these
prices, and that sooner or later they are
bound to secure "a profit on their pur-
chaSes.
This is the commercial view; the spec-
ulatve view is, whether this buying will
continue on a sufficiently large scale to
prevent decline after the hunsry buyers
to supply exhausted stocks have been sat
ished Undoubtedly the continental mills
will buy on a declining scale, a larger
amount than they have taken for many
years, but the English mills will he gov

Liverpool and America from which they
believe they can always secure their re-
quirements our own mills are now buy
ing heavily despite the reports of bad
trade which are so freely circulated and
the rumored accumulation of certain
stocks of goods. To some extent, the be-
lief in large crop of cot
ton is affecting the trade,
for under present business conditions
when the retailer seems assured of a large
supply of cotton he buys as few goods
as possible, expecting always 10 secure
them at lower prices
crop accounts from the south show no
dminution in estimates of the yield. but
they complain of inability 10 secure the
necessary railroad cars with which to
move the cotton being marketed. This
reason is advanced for the falling off in
the receipts in the interior towns of the
Mississippi valley. In fact, the bearish
view of the future is generally held
throughout the south, although 1t is diff
cult TO buy any large quantity of desira-
bic cotton on the basis of prices in New
York. Our stock here is increasing
through the shipment Of low grades of un-
desirable cotton for spinning. The mar
kets therefore. are at a standstill until
some decision is reached az to the action
of the planters regarding acreage the
coming season, with the new crop selling

surance people. The high court in the state
rendered a decision that was of the most
vital importance to the insurance com
panies all over the state The effect of the
decision IS that if man makes misleading
statements in signing an application for
insurance and If the statements are made
with the knowledge of the agent of the
company that they are erroneous then
the company is liable for the policy on the
ground that the agent is the Representa- tive
OF the company and took the risk with
the full knowledge of the conditions sur
