IN THE FIRST WARD.
In the First ward there was a spirited
contest between five candidates-John j.
Valdenaire, DR.. William II. johnson. both
of Brightwood. George Weaver, John c.
Roach and Simeon c.. Bowman. From the
moment the polls opened at the corner of
Martlndale avenue and old Seventh street.
until they closed there was great activity.
workers for the different candidates stand
ing around with printed ballots ready to
instruct voters as to what they should do
Voters from Brightwood were slow to ar
rive, as most of them are employed in the
shops and could not get away to vote until
after the hour for closing the shops $3.50
o clock Some of the candidates that ex-
pected good deal of support from the
BrightWood shops looked up in that direc-
tion anXiously. John G. Roach had dis
played considerable enterprise in having
handbils tackled and distributed through
cut the ward showing the platform on
which he stands. He started out by declar-
ing himself opposed to the Belle~Street and
Pogue' run sewers, in favor of seventy
nVe-cent gas, and cheaper still, if possible"
in favor of three-cent fares, with transfers
and not in favor of granting any fran
chise TO any company that would not agree
to this. He also declared himself in favor
of the Pogue's run parks and declared that
he wears the collar of no individual CLIQUE
company or corporation. In the middle of
the afternoon MIR. Roach seemed to have
the best of II, but friends of 5. G. Bow
man, one of the latest to announce his
candidacy, said he would surprise the older
candidates when the vote from jackson
Park began to be pOlled DR.. johnson, of
Brightwood, said that 1t was almost i'm
possible to predict what the result would
be. He seemed hopeful. Friends of Mr.
Valdenaire said that he had practically
withdrawn from the contest two weeks ago
o. NJ Murphy, present councilman from
that ward, was hustling for Weaver.
Second ward politics are generally quiet
and orderly. The voters of the ward are
as class prominent business men who go
and vote quietly ana then leave. There
were three candidates-John r. Allen, the
present incumbent. Robert II. Adams and
John Heinrichs. Until the last few days
voters of the ward believed that Mr. Al
len would be renomnated easily and there
was some surprise at the strong contest that
developed. The voting went TO show that
the colored population had apparently
greatly increased since the last election
Mr., Allen was the first member of the
Council TO do anything toward reducing the
price OF gas in this city, and his stand on
the three-cent-fare question is very well
understood. The younger element OF the
politicians of the Second ward were strong
ly supporting Mr.. Adams.
In the Third ward the scene at the polling
place was quiet one, there only being
one candidate. John II. Grail who received

Primaries to nominate candidates for
Council were held by the Republicans yes
terday in thirteen of the fifteen wards of
the city. In the Eleventh and Thirteenth
wards primaries will be held later or the
candidates will be designated by the COM
mittee. In every instance the primaries
were largely attended the voters turning
out to show their preference for council
manic candidates far exceeding the num-
Der that went to the Democratic primaries
a few weeks ago. As might have been ex-
pected there were very spirited efforts made
by the candidates in the wards counted
safely Republican wards but the feature
of the day was the attendance and enthus-
iasm in wards that the Democrats claim
to have a mortgage on. This was partic-
ularly noticeable in the Ninth, where there
were four prominent Republicans anxious
heaviest votes of the day was polled. In
the Twelfth, which embraces West Indian
apolis, and in the Fifth, which embraces
Haughvile, the interest taken was a rev.
citation to both parties alike. Mayor Tag
CART was more anxious for the annexation
of these suburbs because he thought it
would secure his reelection than for any
other reason. Although there was not much
of canvass made in the West Indianap-
oils ward on account of one of the candi-
dates falling i'll, the result was enough to
arouse the apprehension of the Democrats
They were also alarmed at the size of the
Haughville contingent in the Fifth ward
II the Democrats ever had any hopes of
carrying Brightwood they vanished yester-
day when word reached them of the size
of the primary in the First ward Bright
wood was we'll represented The vote cast
in the Second was so large as to Indicate
that everybody looks on this as a Republic
AN year. over in the Fourth, which in
cluded North Indianapolis, the contest was
long and enthusiastic and the three candi-
dates succeeded in getting out one of the
biggest votes on record for that part of
town. There is no way to compare the votes
cast at the primaries yesterday with past
municipal campaigns. as the wards have
been much enlarged in the northern part
of town. With few exceptions the Republic
ans expressed great satisfaction last night
with the ticket selected and it was pre-
dlcted that at least two of the southern
wards, the Ninth and Fifteenth could be
relied on to join the Republican column
TINS year with more than a fighting show
in the Fourteenth.

Grain Letter.

Birmingham, Ala. Aug. 13-There has been decided change in character of trading today. The runaway market of yesterday and the day before, from all appearances, eliminated heaviest short interest and the congested condition of September has a tendency to temporarily keep traders out of the market.
 So long as price continued upward, longs seemed unwilling to part with their holdings, but today when a decline seemed imminent, there was considera ble selling by this interest, but offerings were not eagerly absorbed and the easing off of demand brought about a decline of about 2A cents from yesterdays closing, final figures showing reaction of about 1ae per bushel from low point. Last night bulls confidently looked for strong foreign advices this morning, but in this they were disappointed so far as cables were concerned, as Liverpool was quoted only % to Id higher. while Antwerp was unchanged, with Paris A to 2ss cents per .bushel lower
 This disappointment undoubtedly had considerable to do with the liquidation today, although reaction after so much advance with the short market we'll cov- cred would have seemed in order, even had news from other side been more en- couraging. J. P. MUDD & co.

Cotton Letter.

Birmingham, Aug. 1S.-The factors which are exerting an effect upon the market at present are rather unfavora- ble trade conditions in Manchester. A belief that Texas situation has been im- proved by recent rains and rather more aggressive action on part of bears, es- pecially at New Orleans. Private ca- bles state the feeling in Liverpool is bear ish in consequence of better crop ac- counts from this side,
 net decline of from A to 11A in that market today and limited takings by spinners justify this reporA As the de- further rains were reported in Texas here. Prices have subsequently, eased off slightly on continued lack of specula- tive demand and selling for New Or leans and Liverpool account as well as disposition on part of local trade to anticipate further declinee. It would apear, however, that trade attaches en- tirely too much importance to crop out look and too little to influences sur- rounding the market which must sooner or later exert legitimate effect.
 Report from dry goods district are of a most encouraging character, sales dur Ing the past two weeks being larger in volume than at any time since 1892 with indications of continued satisfactory trade At does not seem reasonable to believe the cotton will continue to de- cline in face of brilliant trade outlook generally and tendency towards appre- oiation in nearly every department of business.

Stock Letter.

The effect of recent realizing sales was evident in the stock market today There was, also. the closing out of accounts usual the latter part of the week. The bears were encouraged by these condi- tions to press for further reactions. Eff feet of the influences was accentuated by reaction in wheat.
 Speculation was active and at times strong in morning, but after noon was marked by considerable feverishness and irregularhy. The more active stocks frequently moved over a range of l per cent. or more. Sugar sold up 2 per cent, but lost the gain later. American To- bacco showed an inclination downward; Chicago Gas opened up nearly per cent. on completion of consolidation. but later 1t suffered a much heavier decline

 New York, Aug. 13.-Evening Posts Lontdon financial cablegram:
 There was general reaction in the stock market today. Americans opened dull on the New York quotations of this morn- ing. There was a sharp rally at midday, but as sharp fall at the close, the finish being fiat at the lowest. The decline was partly due to New York tactics and part ly to the fall il wheat. I am told that French buying has ceased for the nlo- menlt. This in no way contradicts what I eabled this morning about French ex- change. In spite of recent selling of Americans here the best opinions Of American security are too well establish- ed to be shaken by any moderate resc-' ton. A healthy shake out will. it is be- lieved, induce fresl buying.
 Bar gold is quoted at ITS 11Bd, but there has been no further sale of bars by the Bank of England, thus confirming the exceptional nature of the sales early in the week, as cabled you. Kaffirs were dull. Interest in them centers upon the mining reforms and the concessions by the Transvaaf government.
 Today's London discount rate for three months is 11s per cent, but the forward quota tions for next week is IFS per cenr. French exchange was quoted at widely different figures at the close, ranging from 25.171A to 25 1912
 The Paris and T'trlin markets were steady. French exchange has again ris ,E sharply. The reason is thought to be the largest sales of wheat drafts by New York on Paris. The houses are threaten ing gold exports from France. French merchanits are therefore buying bills on London in order fo ship gold if neces- sary later.
