viii Oppose Hanna and Foraker For
Reelection,
Especial Correspondence

Columbus, May 1.-THE very vigor-
Gus correspondence between Rev. L.
a. Baker, State secretary Of the Anti
Saloon League, and Senators Foraker
and Hanna has proved at least that the
author of each of the fiery commun;-
cations does not always remember
first issued circulars to the effect that
the two Ohio Senators had opposed the
passage of the Clark Local Option
bill and that 1t was largely due to their
strenuous efforts that the measure
went down to defeat. Each of the Sen
ators replied by calling the reverend
secretary an unmitig8ted liar and he
has now answered each In kind. All
three of the letter.writers showed an
uncomfortable desire to rush into
print with their crceds. II seems
strange that they should have adopted
such a course, for each letter was
poorly written, merely abusive and
proved nothing.
Most wcll-nfermed people believed
with Mr.. Baker that the Senator's We're
opposed to the passage Of the bill and
that they used their influence against
1t. Senator Foraker acknowledged In
writing that he didn't want 1t passed
because he was afraid that the enact
ment of such n law would result in
Democratic victories. Mr., Baker
hopes that the result feared by Foraker
will be brought about anyway. He
said today that his orgn nization Will
make no fight against President Nc
Kinley but that everything I'm its pow
or will bo done to prevent the return
of Foraker and Hanna to the United
states Senate. In close districts, the
work OF the League may accomplish
something toward changing the polit'
ical complexion Of the next General
Assembly. 1s

the advance in grain on the bad crop sit
uation in the Northwest being an object
lesson for their consideration. Advices
from the Central and Southwestern cot
ton growing States had meantime been
and still continue to be unfavorable, in
dlcating that an excessive rainfall and ac-
companying cold weather had resulted in
the plants making a very poor stand
and being in danger of a kind which
would result in serious limitation of
the output. These facts, as well as the
necessity of the growing crops under
going all the vicissitudes that may occur
during the remainder of the season,
created an uneasy feeling in the bearish
ranks, and it required but little increase
of the buying power to bring about
very sharp advance in both old and new
crop options on last Wednesday.
Liverpool not only responded to this
movement, but by it's action during the
latter part of the week has contribu
ted to keep up the strength of the mar
ket in the face of the natural DISPOSE
ton of local interests to consider that
the advance already secured had, for
the present at least, discounted the UNI
favorable features in the crop outlook
1t would seem that The foreign markets
generally are impressed by the very
small stocks of cotton at Liverpool,
which are less than 400 600 bales this
week, against over 1900 900 bales year
ago.
In view of these circumstances the
market has disregarded the Chinese Sit
uatiOn which ordinarily would have
ranked as an available bear factor 1t
must, however, be noted that the limited
demand for cotton goods both Etre ana
abroad continues, and that the advance
of raw cotton has no reflection in the &C
tion of the cotton manufacturing trade.
There seems to be a general impression
that under present circumstances the
new crop is unlikely to be more than suf-
fieient to fill the worlds requirements. At
the same time the heavy outstanding
short interest in the old crop options has
been reduced this week and the action
of prices is now dependent upon the en-
suing crop developments.
