BUYING THESE CAUSED THE FINAL Squirt
By Bidding up Prices Traders Had Found That

irg Price Level.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, May 24.-The demand shows
no change for the general run of cotton
goods on home trade account and quiet
business doing for export. Prices are
unchanged on all staple lines. Print
cloths continue inactive at previous prices
Prints and ginghams quiet and I'M
changed. Linens very firm, but quiet.
Burlaps dull but firm.
COTTON.
New York. May 24.-It was a dull but
not embarrassing day on the Cotton
Exchange. The further working out
of the July deal in an unusual manner
kept the attention of brokers as well
as of the public The highest price
reached in many days for July was
touched soon after the call when shorts
paid 7.S5 for several hundred bales. The
opening was steady with prices two
points lower to three points higher,
with room operators very much con-
fused. Immediately following the call
there was a sudden urgent demand for
the summer months, which carried July
up to 1856 and August to 1928. During
the balance of the morning and much
of the late session fluctuations were ir-
regular and quite the result of
room operations, rather than of outside
influences Conservative operators
bought the new crop positions below
seven cents. The crop and weather
advices were favorable as whole, the
English markets showed little DISPOSE
ton to follow our markets, while re-
ceipts continued on heavy scale. Eu-
rope and the South were light buyers
of the near months on the early rise;
room traders who had loaded up last
night sold for profits. The market was
finally steady with prices net six points
higher to one point lower.

ASPIRANTF FOR
GOVERNOR
j. D. Romans, of Denison, Will Ask
for Nomination.
FIRST APPEARANCE OF CANDIDATES
Likely That Democrats Will, as Usual,
Allow Republicans to Take the In
itiative in Calling Convention -
Little Said of Candidates.

Des Moines, Feb. Is The Polk
county Democrat will this week am
nounce the name of j. d. Romans of
Denison as democratic candidate for
governor. Mr.. Romans is one of the
prominent democrats of the state, and
may be selected to head the ticket
without material opposition.
So far little has been said regarding
the democratic candidates probably
because the republican plurality of
nearly 100000 last year gives little Ii
cense for any mention of the party
with respect to state offices.
No meeting of the democratic state
central committee has not been held as
Iyet. An attempt was made to hold
one some two weeks ago. but ma
jority of the members failed to show
up, and those who did come slipped
away quietly the same evening to OF
tumwa. where it is possible they con-
cluded their business.
| G. A. Walsh, secretary of the demo-
cratic national committee was in the
city at the time and it is said that the
meeting was called for the promotion
of some scheme in which he was in
lterested, inasmuch as the members of
| the committee went from here to
| WalSh's home town.
| The candidacy of Mr.. Romans is the
first to be announced by the democrats
for any state office to be filled at the
coming fall election. Chairman Huff
man, of the state central committee,
lives in Des Moines but has been out
of the city more or less for the last
few weeks. 1t is likely that the dem
ocrats will, as usual, allow the repub-
licans to take the initiative in calling
q convention and selecting candidates,
and that everything is now waiting
on the republican central committee.

VETERANS WILL NOT MARCH.
Dissatisfied With Place Assigned
Them in Inaugural Parade.

u
Washington, Feb. 2S-The Washing
ton Veteran organizations of the Civil
land Spanish wars. have officially de-
clined to participate in the inaugural
parade March A. The decision affects
Organization in the Grand Army Of
the Republic, the Union Veterans I'm
ion and Spanish war veterans. Dis
satisfaction of veterans with the place
assigned them in the parade is re-
sponsible for today's action. 1t was
their wish to act as the personal es-
oort to the president. Grand Marshal
Green on the contrary assigned them
to position in the line ahead of the
civic organizations and following the
National Guards. General Sickles has
notified Green that the veterans
declined to participate in the parade
and rendered his resignation as mar
shall of the Veteran division.

RosEWATER is ANGRY.
Says He Will Open Upon Candidate
for Senator

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 2s.-The biggest
sensation of the senatorial contest
was sprung yesterday when Edward
Rosewater, editor of the Bee and can
didate for United States senator, serv-
ed notice upon d. E. Thompson, that
he would open up on him thru the
columns of his newspaper. The
grounds upon which he proposes to
attack him are that he has been dis
loyal to the party in that he sought to
defeat the caucus nominee two years
ago by an attempted tie-up with the
Ifusionists; that he represents in his
candidacy the Burlington railroad
company and that he is personally OBJ
noxious to three-fourths of the repub-
licans of the state.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 2S.-The Iron

coincidence of the further awakening
in the market and the organization of
the worlds greatest industrial CONSOLE
dalton make the past week notable
one in the iron trade. Prices in near
ly every quarter of the market have
advanced, and the United States Steel
corporation begins it's life under con-
ditibns that could scarcely be more
favorable, barring one drawback, that
of dwindling buying for export. AS
to the policy of the new consolidation
and its effect upon the iron industry
the trade is all at sea"
