increase and wave of bull enthusiasm

in the near future, sentiment being
worked up to high pitch in many
quarters which is difficult to repress
regardless of fact whether or not it is

is cheap and that the consumption is
equal to the worlds demand appears
to be spreading regardless of the ex-
tent of the daily receipts. Opening

tional points gain followed Big bulls

The Morning News Office,
Friday, April Is.
The feature of the local cotton mar
,et the past week was the firmness of
snots. which closed at a gain of S-16c.
The demand was of good character
and the inquiry here and elsewhere
',onvinced holders that supplies are
,,anted. and that the demand may be-
oone sufficiently urgent to bring about
. material rise in prices. Sentiment is
worry bullish everywhere, based upon
the statistical position of cotton and
the present and prospective good de-
mand for it.
The offering stock at Savannah is
small. and what there is cannot be
had for other than full prices, as hold
ars have held on in anticipation of
inst such a bulge as has taken place.
At other spot centers the demand has
been very active, reports from New
orleans being to the effect that one
large firm of exporters there took up
wards of $1,000 bales during the week.
A good demand at other spot centers is
also reported.
Turpentine ruled firm during the
week, with the price NC above last
Fridays. There were evidences that
exporters are probably about to enter
tbe market for supplies, and factors
therefore look for more active trading
during the coming week. Resins closed
Arm to-day, with the demand fair.

New York, April 1S.-Liverpool gave
support to-day advancing sharply to
their close With a sharp demand to
cover Mays, that delivery touched its
highest point of the year to react on
realizing. There was a fair demand
from arbitrage brokers and the South
ern markets were all strong and high
er than ours. This anomalous condition
would seem to show a short interest in
the South, and a large long interest
DESTROYS of taking profits from time
to time These realizing sales prevent
ed a further advance, as naturally
there are not so many buyers at pres
ent prices as at the lower ones. The
in sight movement came smaller than
generally anticipated, but did not bring
new buyers. A reaction from about
sd in Liverpool is expected to-mor-
row, preventing many from buying
this afternoon.

COTTON.

The strength of spot cotton was the
feature of the local trade situation the
past week. While there were no large
sales the demand was, nevertheless
good, and had the cotton been available
and the market less rigid trading
would have been larger. Supplies are
scant, however. and holders are not
disposed to let go at other than full
prices In the fob. market the de-
mand was fair, but the trading showed
that interior stocks are small Cur
rent quotations were for f. G. M,
csc to 8 11-16c, and G. NJ. 91kc to
9 9-16c.
The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market
at the Cotton Exchange to-day:

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

The sea island cotton market ruled
fairly active during the past week,
with prices showing some improve
ment. No disposition is shown in any
quarter to sell. 1t appears that hold
ers are fully reconciled to the fact
that they must await the pleasure of
consumers in the matter of marketing
their cotton, and this they seem will
ing to do, raising their ideas as to the
value of the article the longer it re-
mains unsold. This is reported as
the case, both here and in the interior.
Receipts the past week We're 1o3,
against 1872 last year, and the sales 420,
against 1,021 last year. Local reports
are to the effect that some further

In an interview in the Butte Inter.
Mtnniair Senator Paris Gibson paws
a splendid tribute to President Roose-
welt. He is quoted as saying: II
tell you 1t is a splendid thing for the
country to have a man like Theodo-s
Roosevelt in the white house. and II
the Republicans are to again elect
the president 1t Is my sincere hope
that he will be the man.
He is the first president the coun.
try has ever had who really under
stood the actual conditions and wants
of the people in each of the states,
and then he has the moral physical
and. might say, the political courage,
to do Just what he believes to be
right" While Mr.. Gibson is a Dem
ocrat he Is not of that hide-bound va
riety who are afraid to state the truth
out OF fear of the effect II may have
upon themselves or their party. Pres.
ident Roosevelt is deseryedly popular
in the west and everywhere for that
matter and he will have to commit
some greyious errors in the next two
years to prevent his retaining the ex-
alted position he now occupies.

Fergus County argus., 1902-07-16

Fergus county Republicans are SER
iously considering the sending OF an
anti-Carter delegation to the state con.
vention. There are likely to be 9TH
ers.-Great Falls Tribune. Where did
you get your information? No one
has authority to speak for the Repub-
licans of Fergus county. The delega.
tion to the state convention will go
there imbued with a desire to do
what is best for the party. The Re.
publicans of this county bear no Ill
will toward ex-senator Carter. He
has never dictated to nor interfered
With the party organization OF this
county in any manner. On the other
hand he has rendered II aid and hon.
ored its recommendation many times,
The effort to create prejudice against
Senator Carter here would be fruit
less. As United States senatJr he
labored for the best interests ol The
county and for the entire state for
that matter. The calumnies ;hat have
emanated with the Helena Herald and
other Clark organs have not turned
any fair thinking man against Mr.
Carter The character of these papers
is such that they are incapable OF do
ing Mr.. Carter an injury.
