New York, June 13-The cotton market
opened quiet and steady with prices un-
changed to 2 points higher and then eased off
to S.71c1 for July. Despite the predictions of
yesterday for showers for the eastern belt

er map gave practically no moisture in the
entire south. Near the close the English
market sIifTened up somewhat in response to
the steadiness here. but Liverpool sent few
orders of either type. At noon the market
was firm again in a quiet way on more high
complaints from the western, belt;
noon bids indicated a net advance of ? to
4 points. ...- 81

Wheat Outlook Good.

Special to the Record.
Duluth, MINI. June 1O-The
favorable weather conditions of
the last few weeks have given a
most encouraging turn to the
prospects for the Spring wheat
crop in the great wheat raising
states of Minnesota and the Oak
otas. The possibilities, accord
ding to reliable reports, are for
a large crop. Last years wheat
acreage in the three states was
about 14,7OO,O ,OOOacres;th years
will be IA few hundred thousand
acres less. But while wheat will
be shortened a trifie, the abund
ant moisture of the Spring, will
aid the crop in growth. There
will be far larger crop this
year of other gains than wheat, if
the present promise is fulfilled.
The fax crop is estimated for
the three states at little over
3, 100000 acres of land.

Criticism on the negligence of
officials of the fire department,
mingled with praise and bravery
of the tiremen today, who at the
risk Of their lives performed
many heroic rescues. Ten
charred bodies have been recov-
cred from the ruins of the fire,
and three of thirty who We're in
iured will die.
1t has been established that
seven victims We're Shackled to

Harris burg, Pa, June TO-
Tomorrow at noon is the time
fixed for the beginning Of the
repu btican state convention, and,
though every politician of greater
or lesser note is here and fre-
quent conferences have been held.
no agreement has been reached
on candldate for governor so
far as is known. Attorney Gen.
eral Elkin is the ionly avowed
candidate for the head of the
ticket But in the way Of his
success there are difficulties be-
ileved to be insurmountable. The
Oldest campiigner cannot re-
mem ber such IL chaotic condition
II affairs as prevails. Elkin is
opposed by the state machine
and it is believed the machine
will have the upper hand on the
convention floor. This belief may
be not well founded, but it pre-
walls nevertheless. With Elkin
out OF the figuring all forecasts
as to the result are problematical.
There are numbe.' of names
mentioned, but the only man
who could select a winner from
the collection refuses at this time
to announce his choice. This
warwick is Senator Quay. His
adherentss believe he has absolute
control of Il majority of the dele
gates, and it be wished could
settle the question in short
order. Unless, he has divulged

to his trusted lieutenants he has
not SignsEte, his choice for the
gubernatollitl nomination. He
has slated Elhin for defeat and
so far rs is known this is all of
his program that mas matured.

The board of directors con-
template Investigating the con-
dItIons surrou nding the we'll
drilled on their Mamou holdings,
as they feel that it is possible
yet to make a good we'll out of it,
and think that it may be brought
IN gusher.
This action is believed by the
board to be practicable, based
on Information obtained from
observers of the work on this
we'll and others in the vicinity.
1t is also the intention of the
company to put down Il well on
the Farley tract on Mamou prarie
little north Of present gueher
territory near this city. This
tract consists of forty acres, and
is situated about the same as the
land which is now producing
gushers so abGndantly: in fact, it
is said on good authority, that
this ground shows stronger in
dicationS now, than the Jennings
company $ property did previous
to the prospecting on the land.
There are spots on the Farley
tract that will produce gas in
sufficient quantities to ignite by
simply punching a hole in the
ground to d depth of SIX feet and
setting in piece of pipe. The
officers of the Mamou com pany
have great faith in its future and
believe that in a short time they
will be the owners of some first
class producing wells.
