New York, Aug. 14.-An average
amount of business was done today in

difficulty in placing orders for staple cot
tons at current prices. Print cloths are
easy and in limited request. Prints I'M

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York Aug. 1.-THE cotton mark
ct opened very steady with prices two
points lower to two points higher and
then worked quite rapidly upward on ac-
tive general buying. The early Liver
pool cables were not up to expectations
and the reports from cotton goods CEN
tiers were disappointing. Nevertheless,
private crop reports were decidedly less
favorable than the average OF late. The
later cables from Liverpool were more
encouraging and business from that
quarter changed over from the bear to
the bull side. Support from prominent
Wall Street operator and some demand
from the South, helped to undermine hear
confidence. While the public cables as
a whole were poor, the private cables
stated that sentiment abroad was very
bearish. Philadelphia and local SPOT
cotton houses were buyers of the August
September and October options. Com
mission houses covered new crop month
shorts and went long; the South bought
in hedges put out against the prospective
large yield some time ago. During the
afternoon the tendency was steadily up
ward and the tone on the elise was
steady with prices net 5 to points
higher. Total sales were estimated at
$4,000 bales, the bulk of which was De-
tober and January contracts.

KENNEDY ON GROUND.
Congressman Miller's Opponent
Making Friends Every where.

Senator J. A. Kennedy, of Burlington,
who is hot on the trail of Congressman
Miller in the Fourth district, is making
many friends among the Fourth district
men who are attending the banquet
Nearly all the Fourth district people
have good words for him.
F. B. Gregg, of Eureka, says that they
have seen hardly anything of Miller in
Greenwood county, and it has beSn con-
sidered for him simply because there
was nobody making a campaign there
against him.
Since Kennedy has been down there
it looks as though Miller may be beaten
after all,' he said. I'VE like Kennedy
and think there is a good chance for
him to win"
T. A. Ellis, of Usage City, is putting
in some good words here and there for
Kennedy.
Dosage county is primarily for H. B.
Miller for governor" said Mr.. Ellis, but
1t will also give Senator Kennedy a good
support for congress"
The Lyon county contingent is doing
all it can to defeat Miller. They claim
that Miller deceived the Republicans of
Lyon county and even if there were no
candidate against him they would go to
the congressional convention and pro-
test against his denomination.
If the Fourth district convention is
not held too soon Senator Kennedy be-
lieves he will have no trouble in de-
feating Miller. The committee will meet
at Emporia tomorrow to fix upon the
date and place. The convention will
doubtless be held at Emporia, but the
Miller forces may make an effort to
have it held in the immediate future in

pliments.


E. C. Culp, of Salina, who is making
the race for state auditor, believes that
he will get the support of the greater
part of the Fifth district as against
D. 7. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson, on the
other hand, who is county clerk of Re-
public county, believes that he will get
almost everything in the district ex-
cept Saline county.
Il have enough encoura cement to
make me believe that l will get the
vote of the district almost entirely
siad Mr.. Wilson. Il will also get al
most the solid support of the Sixth dis
trict and some in the Fourth 1 won't
bother about Saline county, They have
troubles of their own, and I will leave
them alone"
Colonel Culp, on the other hand, will
make the race largely on his old SOL
der record, and he believes he can line
up not only the Sixth district but con-
siderable strength over the state. He
expects S. ]. Osborn, also of Salina,
who is a candidate of superintendent
of insurance, to get out of his way and
give him the Saline county delegation.
Il have always worked for Osborn
whenever he has wanted anything,
said Culp today, land I believe he will
give way for me now. I have never
been a candidate before for anything
that had anything in it, and I think I
can win now"
Osborn doesn't look at it that way.
"Culp will have a big lot of opposi-
ton even if he should get Saline coun-
ty,' said Judge Osborn. There is
big scramble for what he wants, while
there isn't for superintendent of in
surance, and I think can win without
much trouble, SO l am going In for it,

Who Are Here

The situation in the Sixth district is
becoming more interesting from day to
day.
There are representatives and friends
of Mr.. Reeder here from almost every
county. They have been doing excellent
work for him, and express themselves
as well pleased with the situation.
Capt. w. H. Mitchell says today: can

the county is safe for Reeder beyond

settle the nomination then the fight is
on. Mr.. Reeder has not been making
his fight from the hotels in Topeka but
has been doing his work with the men
who go to the polls and vote

The same is true of Rocks, Decatur,

When the time comes the entire north
west of the district will be for Reeder.
MIR Reeder did not attend the Kan

other matters of interest to the farm

pany has almost unlimited possibilities
before it. The value of Kansas butter
product is now seven millions and her
cheese worth a quarter million. These
figures are rising rapidly as the former
comes in touch with the skimming sta
ton and learns the pecuniary advan-
tage of dairying.
Kansas mild winters are favorable
to the most profitable production of
milk and her alfalfa, at home wherever
planted provides the cheapest and best
milk producing hay on earth. The kan
sas farmers ability to produce alfalfa
is unlimited and with all the alfalfa
he can use is enabled to produce butter
fully so per cent cheaper than in states
where red clover is depended upon.
With a COW bred for Matchmaking and
alfalfa for feed and the exercise of the
same degree of intelligence in hand
ling as is exercised in the older dairy
states Kansas will Guido the world as
an economical producer of butter and
cheese. The Continental Creamery COM
pany will be not only partaker in this
added wealth of Kansas but one of the
direct causes of it.
