COTTON MANIPULATORS
Exert UnfavorabIe Influence on Pro
Queer and Manufacturer. ..

Charlotte. N. c., May 14.-In his an
nual address to the Southern Cotton
Spinners Association, President George
B. Hiss gave it as his opinion that cot
ton market "manipulators' exercised
an unfavorable influence on the pro-
Queer and manufacturers. Mr.. Hiss
said in part:
During the past two years manufac e.
turers using American grown cotton
have failed to secure a proper margin of
profit and it has been during these last
two years that cotton manipulators'
have held their greatest sway. 1t is es-
timated that between 100000 and 100,-
100000 bales of cotton are bought and
sold annually in this country while we
actually produce an average of but 49,
100000 bales annually.
rs it not probable that these manipu
lators have an unfavorable bearing on
profits of the manufacturers in this
country using American grown cotton?
Except in few special fabrics the
price 'manipulators' have fixed for cot
ton. today, is out of all proportion to
the price the manufacturers can realize
for his product. Is there not a remedy
for this situation? If the cotton manu-
facturer could arrange to buy his
years supply of raw stock by making
his purchase during the period covered
from September l to December 1 of
each year (aS is largely the case with
out foreign competitor) there would he
but slight opportunity for 'manipula-
tor to juggle a profit out of the few
hundred thousand bales not taken UP
by these purchases

Mass. delivered an address on The
Development of Rapidly Running or

LIST OF STEAMERS
Found in Room of G. Rosseau, Alleged
Sender of Bomb.

New York. May Installing lists OF
half a dozen transatlantic steamship
lines have been found by detectives In
the room of G. Rosseau. who, 1t is al
legged was the sender of the machine
found at the Cunard Cos, dock re-
Gently.
This fact has given rise to the theory
that Rosseau sailed for Europe, Satur-
day. Immediately after mailing the
warning letter to Police Commissioners
Greene.
The sailing lists found in Rosseau's
room were all folded in a cay to sug-
gest that Saturdays sailings had been
studied No railroad time tables were
found in the room and those boarders
in the house who knew Rosseau best
are strongly of the opinion that he is
now in mid-ocean en- route for some
foreign port. They think it possible
that he sailed on the Umbria.
On cabled instructions from the po-
lice here each of the steamers which
sailed east-bound, Saturday, be search
ed on arrival for the dynamiter.

AT NEW ORLEANS,
Even More Excitement, the Price
Jumping to IL Cents.

New Orleans, La, May 14.-In wild
and irregular opening in the cotton
market. today, the July option went to
IL cents, selling 81 points up from the
closing, yesterday. August advanced
20 points and September II.
The advance was caused by SenSa-
tional reports from Liverpool where
shorts bought 10000 bales of spot at
an advance of 10 points. Local shorts
became equally frightened and eagerly
bought every contract thrown into the
ring by the dealing long side.
In spite of the heavy profit taking
of the bulls, prices were kept well
above the closing of yesterday through
out the morning and with the stopping
of liquidation showed d disposition to
climb higher.

FARMERS OPPOSING DITCH
Supervisors Decide tc Chance
The Course Of the Boyer
River.

Frank Tamisiea of Missouri
Valley was in the city yester-
day in connection with the Pot
tawattamie- Harrison county
ditch. The farmersi in Harrison
county have taken the matter
up in earnest, and are opposing
the board of supervisors in an
endeavor to have the work
completed this summer.
In Harrison county the pre-
liminary work on two bitches
has been completed, and the
board Of supervisors has now
decided to change the course of
the Boyer river so as to save
many acres of land. The river
will be Strengthened from a
point near Logan to Missouri
Valley, giving a much greater
fall to the mile, and providing
a way for the city of Missouri
Valley to empty it's sewers into
the river, which, after the pro-
posed county ditch is completed
will empty directly into the
Missouri. &c. B. dept. Omaha

Ida Grove Era: We wonder if
it is generally known that Ida
county is one of the largest pop
corn raisers in the United States.
Such is the case, and the town
of Arthur is the largest ship
ping point of pop corn. Calcu-
lating on the amount of pop
corn already shipped and con
tracted for delivery, there were
thirty car loads shipped from
that point by January l, 1903.
Many fields run is high as 5000
pounds to the acre. This corn
is bringing the raisers $1.0O per
hundred, making $50 per acre
for the crop. As popcorn ma
lures before the frost, this ce-
real is apt to take a still more
prominent place in our profita-
bic products.
Ida County is certainly one OF
the best counties in the State OF
| Iowa, and is worthy to be called
the Pop Corn County of tie
State.
