COTTON FUTURES.
The Market Closes Steady With
Prices 4 TO 8 Lower.

The Market Closes Steady With
Prices to o Lower.
New York, Aug. 1.-THE cotton market
opened quiet and steady with prices one
point higher to four points lower and sank
three to six points further under quite
active selling of long cotton, pressure
from the bear side and disappointing late
cables from the English markets. The
weaker ruling of sentiment was intensi-
fed by very hopeful weather reports from
the Atlantic States where complaints OF
drought have recently appeared. The de-
precision was short lived, however, as the
final cables from Liverpool proved suffi-
GENTLY reassuring to create faith in them
50 far as room operators were concerned.
Prices advanced rapidly on brisk general
buying led by the shorts and houses with
Liverpool connections. Toward midday
however, another weak spot came to light
and with good weather predictions as a
motive early buyers hastily unloaded and
short selling became something of fea-
ture. During the greater part of the bal
ance of the day the market was almost
lifeless and pendulations favored neither
faction specially. The crop reports were
mixed to such a degree that few traders
cared to come out openly on the Dull or
bear side while public spectators posi-
lively refused to venture in TO the mar
ket. The critical stage reached in the
China situation increased the uncertainty
all around. The spot markets OF TINS
country and Europe hold reasonably nrm
on light receipts, but were destitute OF
animation.
In the last half hour the market broke
under liquidation. At the close the mar
ket ruled steady in tone with prices mel
four 20 nine points lower.

The feature of the markets to-day was
the drop in resins of FIVE cents on grades
and above, which went off at the clos
ing call. At the decline the demand was
reported to be fair. Buyers have been
backward about entering the market for
several days past, so that the decline did
not come altogether as a surprise to the
trade The official closing of the turpen-
tine market was quiet at 1884 cents. 1t
was understood that after the Closing
sales of considerable lot were made on a
basis of 9s1k cents. The cotton market
closed nominal and unchanged. Sales were
light. and there were no developments to
Indicate any immediate activity in the
trade. The wholesale markets were steady.

kets will show the tone and quotations at

There seems to be some difference

There seems to be some difference
of opinion among the republican lead
ers as to what they had better do when
theleg islature meets. Quite number
seem to think they can best please the
people by passing the necessary apprO-
priatiOn bills and going home, while
others wish to enact few bills of a
general character which will be useful
in future campaigns. Some few are in
favor of attempting legislation to COR
rect existing abuses. 1t is safe to say
that the result will be a mixture of all.
The state officials want to make a re-
cord. The politicians want to wipe out
all fusion and the corporations de-
mand payment in legislation for their
assistance. In this contest of conflict
ing interests the people will hope for
something and probably get nothing.
The book trust has already made its
demand through Iae State Superinten-
dent of instruction asking that the
limit price on. school books be raised
under the disguise of getting better
books, which we all know to be on alb
serdity. A railroad bill will have to
be passed, satisfactory to the rail
roads. and the politicians propose d
bill which shall prevent the crime of
fusion. This is only another disguise
under which free ballot is to be at
tackled. The republican party is in
power add will make every etfo to
pass laws to make its calling and
election sure. While on this topic we
will ask that some republican show
US on what ground they will justify
the passage OF a law preventing fusion.
we want to view the crime at short
range. rise and explain oh ye enemies
of free ballot and fair count.
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1900-11-23

We notice that the Mercury announ-
ces that the next Legislature will place
law on the statute books to kill fu
sion. There is no fraud about fusion
no matter how many designing people
cry fraud. Now the Baker people in
the legislature had better keep still
about fusion for it looks like the help
of populists and democrats was about
the only thing that would enable them
to elect their man. They may have to
take good big dose OF it or let the
great state of Kansas be represented
in the q. S. Senate by man who has
not pers honesty enough to pay
his debts. Populists and democrats in
the legislature can say to the Baker
men promise to let fusion alone or
we will not stand by YOU. We advise
our contemporary TO wait and see at
least a few of the Legislators before
telling Us just exactly what laws will
be placed on the statute books. 1t is
barely possible that more than one
man may have a voice n them.

MEAT TRUST

Last week we published an account
of the sharp advance i'll the prices of
meat, ordered from Chicago and New
York: A great roar has gone up from
the retailers who say there is no just
cause Tor the increase. Some OF the
large packers make the statement that
cattle are scarce and feed high. They
evidently take the people for fools
since the election. We are now in the
midst of harvesting one of the largest
corn crops in the history of the coun-
try. Feed of all kinds, alfalfa hay,
fodder, sorghum, kaffiir corn and
every thing in the feed line is over a
buudant.
In the market reports from Kansas
City last Wednesday we find. more
cattle were received at the Kansas
City stock yards yesterday Tuesday
November l3) than ever before on a
day in November" There is no scar
city in the meat supply. L. is simply
the meat trust, feeling that the people
have endorsed the TRUST SYSTEM
have become insoient. The increase In
the price of salt will be an item to the
Kansas stockmah. We recommend
this conditi on to4he consideration of
thoughtful people to whom the in
crease of few dollars on the meat
bill means doing without something
else.

RR sIDENTHAL's EXPLANATION.

John w. Breidenthal, the defeated
fusion candidate for governor of Kan
sas, says: The farmers did it. They
have been prosperous and they give
the credit to Mckinley. Good prices
for farm products and an expanding
currency is a hard combination to go
up against. Really this prosperity is
Az argument in favor of our claim,
that good times and enlarged currency
go hand in hand, for it is a fact that
we have expanded our currency over
5000, 900, 900 In the last five years.
More than $500, ,0O0, 600 of gold has
been added to our circulation since
1895 and the new currency bill has
added SlOO. 0GO 600 of paper. The gold
has come mostly from the other side
of the ocean to buy our surplus farm
products. Some time the balance of
trade will be the other way and our
currency will contract by the with
drawel of this gold from our crcula-
tion. Then will come hard times and
the republicans will lay it to God not
to Mckinley. You know Mckinley
only makes prosperity.
Bryan is not necessarily eliminated
from politics by this defeat. He will
continue to be a distinguished citizen
OF the country but his future will de-
pend largely upon himself. He may
lot want to run any more. l don't
know.
''The future of fusion can not be
fOretold. We will know more about
that after the election of 1902. We
must try some of this Mckinley pros
perity while longer. Possibly it is
not genuine. Possibly God did it,
after all. "
