SOME INTERESTING REMARKS.
Relative to the Cotton Market, Particularly
Appropos In View of the Discussion as to
This Years Production and the Great Ac-
tivity in the Dry Goods Market.

''We invite the readers of this paper to
look back during the past four or five
years and note that in that period Iron,
Copper, Cotton, Wheat and Germ were
selling under the cost of production.
'Iron that sold at $500 ton has sihee
sold at $37.5 so; copper that in 1896 wa \
around cents per pound has recently
sold at 20 cents wheat ia Chicago de-
clined to 4S 3-4 cents per b,sshel and with
in two years from that time sold at $1.S5
per bushel corn sold az low as II cents
per bushel and later at 40 cents; in the
New Y York cotton market the future options
of this staple within the past year sold as
low as 5 cents, and under, and at this
writing have sustained an advance of only
2 1-2 cents per pound. Iron nearly tri-
pied in price, as did copper, while wheat
increased in value four times, and corn
doubled,
cit seems extremely logical to expect at
least that cotton, our greatest staple pro-
duct, will sell at its averaze price for the
past ten wears, or about 3-4 cents per
pound moreover it is likely this price
will be ma e during the current cotton
year, especially in view of the established
certainty that this seasons yield is very
short, and the equally certain fact that
never in the history of the world has the
consumptive demand attained within 80
per cent of what it is at the present time.
at seems reasonable TO expect 9 and 10
cent cotton next July and August, when
the real pinch of the SD rt op makes it
self fe t. there is more than possibility
that the above fgures will be made be-
fore the coming summer in the contract
market in New York, discounting the
above factors
''The Banking and Brokerage firm of
Knott & Closson Of Burlington, this state,
was the pioneer house in advising the pur-
chase of the aple at its lowest point, the
first OF the year. In their published circu-
lars last spring they estimated decreased
acreage tina later proved accurate, had in
sisted Throughout the season that, late
spring, irregular season, and improper
cultivation, meant short crop, and as a
result of accurate knowledge from the
planter himself they hit the nail on the
head. As members of the New York G t.
ton Exchange with direct private wires,
they offe excellent facilities for investment
dealings in the future options of this
staple, and solicit the patronage of the
state"

South African republic in London, clos
ed the consulate this afternoon and i'm
mediately left for he continent.
The foreign office confirms the report
from Washington that Great Britain has
asked the United States government to
empower the United States consular au-
thorities in the Transvaal to represent
British interests there during the HOSTILE
ties.
LORD Rosebery, the former premier and
Liberal leader, has finally declared his
position relative to the South African
question In letter, under today's date,
he says:
II have maintained silence because
am loath to enter politics. Today, how
ever, 1 can speak without touching poll
tics, for a situation has been created
which is beyond party polenlics. l think
there is much in the last three years Of
our relations with the government of the
Transvaal to criticise, If not condemn,
but that is all over for the present. 1t is
needless to discuss how we could best
have attained our simple and reasonable
object of rescuing our rfellow-countrymen
in the Transvaal from intolerable condi-
tions of subjection and injustice, and in
securing equal rights for the white races
in South Africa; Cor an ultimatum has
been addressed to Great Britain by the
South African republic, which is itself a
declaration of war.

IN order 70 hear the testimony Of city
oacial. who had been kept waiting IN
an ante room. The witness stated that
City Receiver ForRey and License ON
Ger Edward Elliott had informed him
that lfr. Salisbury urged the collection
OF licenses from wagons temporarily
used during the strike. The witness
wasn't q party to the conversation. but
had been 20 informed.
The reporters were asked to Withhold
the city omcial'S name, as he had been
prevailed on 70 appear under this con-
dition.
Mr. Salisbury read 4 letter from Re
ceIver Forgey pertaining to the wagon
conversation. in which It was set forth
that as the writer remembered Mr.. Sal
Isbury said the Transient teamsters
we're wen able to pay. and Il would only
Be Just to the Wheeling teamsters. who
paid the tax.
The charge was sustained by vote
OF q to s, after q fruitlesS effort TO have
the trial postponed for two weeks.
There were several wrangies. President
Tighe wanted the assertion denied that
the trial was - farce" This remark
was induced from the debates pertain
ing 70 'heresay'' evidence. During
the debate delegates declared Mr. Sails
bury was eouvieting himself by getting
behind technIcalitles.
Charge No. 2 didn't take long. Mr..
Bauer gave an account Of the details
OF the charge. In which Mr.. Salisbury
was said to have counselled the men to
recede from the !0-cent demand. HIS
action was disappointing and diseour-
aging to the strikers.
Mr.. Boss moved to reject the charge,
but BIr. RAIDERS motion to sustain car
ried. Mr.. Williams insisted on his vote
in the negative being entered on the
minutes.
Mr.. Dickson, Of the stage workers
union. said Mr.. salisbury had written
saucy letter to their national presi-
dent, Mr.. Hart. Mr.. Salisbury read a
letter from Mr.. Hart denying 1t. and
said the stage workers' local had mis-
understood him.
This specification was ruled out BY
the chair.
The final specification related to Mr.
salisbury's action at the Belmont coiin-
ell, and 1t was finally ruled out.
This made three charges OF the I'VE
sustained.
Mr.. Bauer then explained his posi-
ton in the matter; that he had been
conscientious; that he and Mr.. Sails
bury were friends, and it was the lat
ter's oficlaI conduct he objected to.
Mr.. Salisbury claimed the charges
hadn't been substantlated; that here
say testimony governed and that he was
the victim OF a prearranged plan to
convict. He asserted an improper
course was taken. Exceptions to this
statement were taken by Mr.. Bauer.
Mr.. RAIDER moved to sustain the ac-
ton OF the executive board in request
ing Mr.. salIsbury's resignation, which
was done.
Mr.. Williams wanted the secretary
reprlmanded. but Mr.. Bauer insisted on
Salisbury stepping down.
Mr.. Grieg wanted Mr.. Salisbury to be
given the privilege OF reslgning. Mr..
Williams tried to get the matter deferred
until the next meeting.
The ONCE Of secretary was then de-
clared vacant on Mr.. RAIDERS motion,
and Mr.. Oscar Howard was delegated
to act In this capacity until the next
meeting.
