NEW YORK. July l3.-Cotton futures in the local market openued weak today with first prices at a decline of e62o points There was severe break in consequence of what was called forced liquidation started by unexpect- ed weakness in the English market. The crop news was quiet favorable and that bulls in
 terests in New Orleans seemed inclined to al-
 low the market to drift. The near positions displayed the greatest activity. though the 1ato deliveries also displayed considerable weak nesc The market for these. however. was less active. The movement of cotton was moderate
 the port receipts being figured at 500 bales against 2.456 last week and ,4S5 last year.
 For the week the ports were figured at 10000 bales, against l6,7I2 last year. The New Orleans receipts continue liberal, while those at Houston were comparatively small. There was some rally from the low quotations late in the session and at the close the opinions among professional traders were rather con- hicting. s

 NEW YORK, July l3.-There Is really very little to add to what was said on the cotton market last week. As the season wears on evidences of the success of buying December and January on, a 9h-cent basis and taking pronts on any advance accumulate. This morn sng January sold at about $50 on favorable weather and break on Liverpool. No one seems to know what the New Orleans pool intends to do with all its cotton. as mills are closing down every day. It is now reported that 275. 900 additional spindes go out in Fall River this week. Reports from the cotton belt are such as to indicate generally satisfactory progress in the condition of the crop. suffi- cienfly satisfactory to prevent anything like an advance in the Fall positions and yet the situation Is not such to bring about much Of break. Under these circumstances there is every inducement to buy Fall positions on sutz5fantial reaetione the downward move- ment will be necessarily slow and tedious for some weeks to come In the event of disas- ter to the pool prices of all options would move downward in sympathy. but January cotton at oH or 9h is not likely to prove high unless the outturn of this years cotton crop Is ex- ceptionally large. So much cotton will be need ed that prices during the early part of the season should be high whatever may result later on In the year. There is no trade in the ma nipmlation positions. but considerable interest In the course of prices in October, December and January. And another break below 9h we would pick up cotton again.

the course of the new crop months is sure to be govcrned by the movement and there will be no cotton of consequence in ruution before the end of next month. Opening prices were at a declie of to93o points, the latter for August. Early transactions were on a limited scale. Fears of an unsettled stock market scared ness. Liverpool turned weak after the opening and this further unsettled the market, espe- cially September. which was pressed for sale. Cables were 4Gl2 points lower. Tips from New Orleans were received here of a big rise pending in August, but dealings in the old crop were not encouraged in local circles.

NEW ORLEANS. July I3.-The whole Liver pool iist was practically unchanged on deliv- cries at the opening there this morning. but as the day progressed decided weakness de- veloped and at one time the Summer options showed a loss of l6 points with the Winter months lowered 5. Spots were quoted off 4. The weakness abroad was attributed to com hined efforts part of New York bear pool to deprese tho foreign market. Weather and re- cetpts do not warrant the raid made by the short contingent. There was circulated rumors of financial trouble in New York emanating from some bear source. not being confirmed by the new bureau report, or from any other re- sponsible direction; little credence was given - to, the report; first prices in the local market only partly reflected the easier tenor of Liv- erpool. From many large gowing cotton sec tions we are advised of too much rain and cool nights and sunshine is badly needed in Mis- sissippi particularly. With the crop at least two weeks late 1t presents serious condi- tions for those engaged in the trade. It is safe to say that the demand from mills for cotton to be delivered during September will be the greatest ever known in the history of cotton. Conservative operators foresee this and are being guided accordingly.

FEATURE OF PHYSICIANS BANQUET
AT CLAYPOOL TONIGHT.

sins-EIeven Sections Meeting.

The most interesting feature of the an

of Physiological Physicians and Surgeons,
which opened at the Grand Hotel yesterday
afternoon, will be the banquet at the Clay
pool tonight, at which an effort will be
made to raise $4,000 for the proposed new
buildings for the physo- medical college of
this city. DR.. j. L. Johnson, of Los An
geles, CAL, through whose efforts over $1,000
has been raised for the new buildings, will
be present and will lead the work of solic-
iting subscriptions. Stock in the mining
company which DR.. Johnson has given to
the college will be sold and cash subscrip-
tions solicited. The friends Of the college
believe that the effort to raise the $4,000
desired will prove successful.
There We're two sessions of the convention
the evening both held in the ordinary at the
Grand. Nothing was done, however beyond
perfecting the organization and plans for
the sessions of to-day and tomorrow. About
one hundred members were present yester-
day afternoon, and $50 registered in the
evening. To-day it is expected that the
attendance will reach three hundred.

NOTICES OF CANDIDACY
CHAIRMAN LOGsDON URGES REPUB-
LICANs TO FILE THEM.
Ward Nominations VIII BE Made June
Shell Out of Ii for Mayor
Political Notes.

The Republicans will make their ward
nominations June 5, and Chairman Logs
don again calls attention to the provision
of the primary law that all candidates must
file their notice of candidacy with him be-
fore IL o'clock May 26 in order that he may
present them to the primary election COM
mission, so that their names may be ar
ranged on the ballots. In most of the
wards there is activity and a number or
new candidates. The new apportionment OF
wards relieves the Republicans from the
gerrymander enacted by the Taggart adj
ministration, and there is now hope Of
electing at least eleven of the ward council
men.
Those who have already filed their no
tees of candidacy are:
First Ward-A. E. Cotty.
Second Ward-J. II. Billingsley.
Third Ward-J. II. Grail
Fourth Ward-F. W. Expert.
Sixth Ward-W A Rhodes.
Seventh Ward-Dan Linus.
Ninth Ward-Charles +. Hurst.
Tenth Ward-H. c. Raffensperger.
There are many other candidates in the
various wards who have not yet filed their
notices. The certificate must be signed by
five voters of the ward. In the First ward
G.. w. Squires is candidate, and in the
Eighth j. L. Casper, Ferd L. Smock and w.
]. Hogan are candidates. In the Eleventh
John Marsee will seek nomination, and in
the Fourteenth Il. +. Wysong. The Twelfth,
Thirteenth and Fifteenth wards are so heav-
lily Democratic that candidates are not
hunting nominations, and will probably
have TO be drafted.
Chairman Logsdon will spend his after
in the De Soto building from now on to re-
ceive the petitions of candidates.

COLD-WATER CANDIDATE.
George Hitz Opens Fire ON Works
Board About Sprinkling.

The cold water campaign was begun by
George Hitz nominee Of the Prohibitionists,
yesterday. MIR. Hitz is new in the party,
but carries to his new position all the spirit
and aggressiveness that has characterized
his past-in fact, all the zeal and ubiquity
which marked his opposition to Mayor Book
walter two years ago. OF course, no ami
madversion is meant by this, for then MI
Bookwalter had not appointed his boards
nor had the embarrassing commission
even been thought Of Mr.. Hitz has been
known as one of the warmest advocates OF
the gas meter and one of the most vigor-
oI,s denunciators of track eleva-
ton. 1t was said of him last
fall that he felt a yearning to be one
as a commission to discuss the separation
of grades, but he did not formally apply
for a place.
But this has to do with the cold water
campaign. Mr.. Hitz displayed his vigor,
his zeal his aggressiveness yesterday after
noon when he called up the Board OF Pub
lie Works to demand why the Virginia
avenue viaduct was not being sprinkled.
When Clerk Harris heard a very vigorous
expletive from Mr.. Hitz. he recalled that
Mr. Hitz is known as maker of the peace
full loaf that is advertised with the William
Penn hat
So Mr.. Harris replied more or less meek
ly: You know II rained this morning
rather hard"
Mr.. Hitz said he knew ii perfectly well.
He said he also knew that the viaduct was
as dry as well-and that great clouds of
dust were blowing in the street. Mr.. Har-
ris told him the rule was not to sprinkle
on rainy DAYS Thus the cold water cam
paign was opened by Mr.. Hitz.

and other points on the lakes.
The outing will be taken some time in
the latter part of June early in July

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANlNGS
LIEUT.. GOV. GILBERT TALKS, ABOUT
WORLDS FAIR PLANS.
Indiana Manufacturers May Donate
Furnishings of Indiana Building
Republican Editors Outing.

Lieutenant Governor Newton w. Gilbert,
H Fort Wayne. was in the city yester-
Say TO look after legal business in the
Federal Court. Mr.. Gilbert is president
OF the Indiana Worlds Fair Commission
and last evening at the Columbia Club he
was asked concerning the progress OF the
exposition work
Well" he replied, there can't be a
great deal done for some weeks yet. until
the various committees have outlined their
plans and the plans for the States build
ing at the fair have been adopted and the
contracts awarded, but we are car Ig
on some little correspondence and we lave
received some very gratifying assurances
OF assistance from Indiana business men
and manufacturers.
For instance, one piano manufacturing
firm has written TO the commission offer
ing to donate all the pianos we shall want
for the Indiana building. OF course, we
shall not want a piano for every room in
the building. but We can use two or three
to advantage and they will add ma
terially to the furnishings. We have re-
ceived similar propositions from manufac-
turers of other lines. So far as / know
these offers have come altogether I'M
solicited, although I believe that Mr.. Ball.
Of MIncie. suggested while We were in St
Louis at the dedication. that we might be
able 20 secure practically all the furniture
needed for the State building from Indiana
manufacturers and merchants, who would
be glad to contribute of their products for
the advertising they would receive. 1t
struck the members of the commission at
the time as an excellent suggestion, and
believe that it will prove altogether prac-
ticable- The offers we have received at
this early date indicate that.
The competition for the plans for the
building will be closed June 1. and / un-
derstand from Mr.. Ball, the chairman of
the committee in charge of that depart
ment. that a number OF prominent Indiana
architects will be represented in the con-
test Our headquarters will be opened here
on that date, also, and Mr.. Alexander, Of
Marion, the assistant secretary, will take
charge"
Mr.. Gilbert says that all the members of
the commission are taking hold of the
work with great deal of enthusiasm and
that he believes the result will be fine ex-
hibit of all the resources of the State.
