The market is all the healthier for 1t, per-
tioulary as we close only or points higher
than last Friday. whereas the spot markets
In tho South are all from l-l6c TO isc higher.
Liverpool also rose IN spots and closed hlgher
on contracts The conditions arc growing
more bullteh daily, but Of course those long
of the market will be tempted TO take when
ever they can get from 10 to 20 points
The crop movement continues on q dimin-
iGhing scale compared with last week as
we'll as with last year There arc signs that
English spinners are coming In to buy and
rcpleniah their stock. The South knows that
they must do this and are advancing prices
accordingly ohstinacy is seldom commend
able and particularly under such circum-
stances as those existing In tho cotton trade.
so far ls concerns the refusal OF European
merchants and snlnneTs TO accept the coudi-
tons IN the South as thew are today, and
have been for months past. II viii make tho

the fact that Liverpool s not buying as freely

New York. November c7,--Aithough tbs
course of the cotton market today was some
thing OF the see-saw order, buliish sentiment
predominated and at no time did the bear
faction show the least disposition TO assume
the assrtssise. The opening was steady at
an advance ranging from 10 10 points,
which prices were about the top OF the ses-
zion Shorts were very nervous around the
opening. the cables frum Liverpool having
pated The crop movement failed to bear out
predictions made last week. Moreover. there
were numerous dispatches from the leading
spot merkets OF the South stating that no
cotton was TO be had AZ anything like Sat
rrday's prices, with offerings light at almost
any figure. Liverpool and New Orleans wore
identified ms active buyers during the FIRST few
minutes. Before the close OF the first hour
however. buiish enthusiasm was dampened
by q turn in the purport OF cables and quite
u furry OF proft-taking by smaller holders.
Prices rapidly went on before the reaction
eliminated. Fridays prices having been
reached by midday the feeling was hrmer ana
most OF the afternoon general recuperation
was In progress on estimates for light re-
ceipts tomorrow. At the close the market was
STEADY. with prices net points higher to

The State Democratic Conven
ton TO nominate candidates for

tional, exciting and Illuminating
party convocation ever assembled
10 the State. Undeniably the sci,

any love Of party or party prin'

bitter selfishness engendered, pri'
marily, by the people through the

County mass conventions are so

ed petty party bosses; if few peo'
