FRISCO CITIZENS PROTEST.
Argue Against Transferring Trans
 port Service to Seattle.


 Washington, Dec. 11.-A delegation of prominent citizens of California, consist ing of R. P. Schwsrian of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company; W. W. Doug lass, State Comptroller. and former Mayor Phelan. headed by Senator Perkins, oall- ed upon the President today to discuss with him the pending proposition to place the government transport service on the Pacific in private hands with headquarters In Seattle
 The delegation informed the Presid ant that the people of San Francisco had erected d monument to commemorate Dewsy's victory at Manila and that of the navy generally and invited the Presi- dent to attend the dedication ceremony while on his trip to the coast next spring The President accepted the invitation and a date will be named to suit his con- venience.
 Mir. Schwerian was the principal speak CT, and put forward the proposition that If the government did not care to opera ate It's own transport service. his com pany would conduct the transport busi- ness for the government using the gov ernment vessels now employed under charter or for direct compensation.
 Miss Clara Barton. of the National Red Cross Society, and Samuel w. Briggs, sec retary of the society. also saw the Presi- dent to protest against the removal of the transport service from San Francisco to Seattle. They expressed belief that the removal would be a mistake. because they maintained. the facilities for caring for sick or wounded soldiers at San Fran cisco were superior to those at Seattle.

 NEW YORK, Dec. il.-SsntiInent has been go faS generally in favor of at least a tenn porarT advances In prices that the upturn today was a natural result of the situation. The movement has been small that shorts are gsft1ng somewhat nervous. This has bssa goreraffy expected and very few traders have noA looked for advance the light re- celpts. But the actual speculation has not been heavy and even those who looked for an ad- vance were not inclined to help the good thing along by buying much This made the mar ket rather narrow and kept the tone irreKu- lar. But compared with the previous days this week the tone was stronger. Southern markets steady and in some cases higher for the day. until the New Orleans market grew strong. There was a further nax- rowing of the January-May premium and traders seemed inclined to set out of January and cover their March. There was more buy ing cf cotton today on the small amount tn sight for the week, not than S7S 900 bales according tS the present prospects. This attracte1 short covering and some outside buying. There should be a temporary advance In prfoes and the SKtent of the advance will depend on the movement. It may be soma WSSeEB before there ts enough cotton coming in to ha~e any pressure the market Tn the mean- Nrne there may be advance of 70 or 20 points and we will believe in selling long ont ton every advance The short interest ts geetting out to an extent that will leave q weak market when the movement picks up We believe the cotton is there and will come out with good weather and free transport alton An advance in prices will bring out more cot ten as well weaken the tchncal positions.

nent The interior town receipts win be very light and in fact all weekly statistics will be bullish. The receipts. though. absurdly small and are no Indication of the size of the crop. The movement has been so slow that tomorrow. Dec. 18th. we will have in sight about 6.IT6.ooo or l47.ooo less than was reported hy the census as being picked and ginned on Oct. 18th. nearly two months ago
 While these facts will cause operators to do some thinking in calmer moments, for the time being they are lost sight of. as 1t is expected European traders may get frightened by the decreased amount being marketed. As values enhance the more bulish does sentiment become; consequently the probabilities are that prices will be maintained and governed by the receipts and the demand for spots.

NEW YORK. Dec. iI.-As the year draws to close and receipts fail to assume larger proportions the trade continues to abandon small crop estimates. There is no telling what will occur in the immediate future but the bulls appear to be occupying a very strong position and the developments favor them most decidedly. The fact is that the bear interests are decidedly demoralizsd. Compar- ing the movement with that of a series of years they sec nothing ahead but a small crop although unwilling to properly admit 1t The whole question resolves themselves to this, has the reduced movement been due to holding back. scarcity of oars and bad weather or is It to be ascrfbsd to scarcity of cotton. Con- ssrvative opinion believes in the exhaustion theory and prefers to regard the movement as an index as to what is to follow rather than attribute the falling of to a lot of imaginary causes such as are always presented when bears estimates begin to look unreasonable. if not ridiculous. Prices today opened slight ly higher on a fairly active market due in part to good cables and moderate receipts while bears were growing restless. Despite fair weather in ths South, receipts for the day were but s6. GOO, against 4o, 900 last year. The days business was moderate. Cables showed 294 points advance. Manchester quiet and steady.

Louisville Convention Reappcars Un-
der Name Of Allied Peoples Party.

der Name Of Allied Peoples Party. 4,
Louisville, April 4.-Unaer the name
Of the Allied Peoples Party OF the
United States, q new political organi-
cation was formed here yesterday.
composed of reform elements opposed
to the Democratic and Republican
parties. The platform of the new or
ganization embodies the platform
adopted at the conference held at
Kansss City last September, when
call for a convention was issued Ito
unite the reform forces against plutoc-
racy." 1t reafiirms the spirit of the
declaration of principles adopted at
the national conventions of the Peo-
pies Party in St. Louis, Omaha and
Cincinnati, and the demand for the
initiative and referendum and the gov
ernment ownership of all public util-
tiles are its principal planks.
While the Peoples Party, the fusion
Populists, the Socialists, the Refer
endum League, the Union Labor party.
Public Ownership party. the Prohibit
tion party and the United Christian
party were represented on the floor OF
the convention, by accredited or by
volunteer delegates, only two organi-
cations, the Peoples Party and the
Public Ownership party. had given
their delegates any authority to form
an alliance. 1t is the hope, however.
of the Allied Peoples Party that other
reform forces will later decide to unite
with the new organization.
The convention was practically dom
mated by the Peoples Party. At times
discussions of a lively nature took
place and for a while it seemed as
though the movement was about to
fail. owing to the unwillingness Of a
number of the Peoples Party dele
gates to make any concessions to the
other reform forces present.
Under the plan of organization
adopted the national committee OF the
Peoples Party, with 10 A. Parker as
its chairman, will remain intact, with
the addition of three more members
from Missouri, who will have one-half
vote apiece until the next national
convention, this being a concession to
the reform forces of that state.
