e. E. Pierce 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

IBy Private Wire From C. W. Lee c Col
 NEW YORK, Aug 24.-The whole complex Ion of the cotton market changed to-day
 Whether this the direct result of still further manipulation which started the short interest to coevrin gon extensive scale or whether the increased activity and broaden ing tendency of cotton market was due to a real change in the cotton situation remains to be seen. All that be said at the pres the time is that the market opened with the average trader in possession of more boil wee vii news than has come to hand this season and from the sound of the gong on through the entire day of would think that the boil Aveevil steadily moving Eorthward, and before the end of the week would have consumed the last bale of the present crop
 A sudden stampede of short resulted thou sands of bales of cotton were covered, and early in the day clever pit traders saw that the change in the outlook was such as to give ample foundation for arguments on the side of higher prices and that any scare once started was likel yto spread like wild fire than be quelIed by the exercise of calm judgment. It is questionable whether damage done by insects is sufficient to cause or warrant actual apprehension, but in view of the fact that very little cotton is obtain able at present. and 1t will be some weeks before the movement of the new crop is such as to furnish the market with much cotton. 1t does not take very much to cause shorts to We are more inclined to regard higher prices likely to follow any sudden apprehension and woplde therefore, work on that side of the market rather than attempt to operate any advance. It would not be im- possible for prices to run up 30 or 40 points

There were. indeed, brief intervals cf hesitation realizing was attracted, but prices. as a rule. inclined steadily upward and the close was within 2Sor points of the best on the active months The advances were led by the winter months in which ap- parently the bulk of the short interest was located, and which consequently attracted the greatest demand. January sold from e.s3c, the close of the preceding night to 10. loc, while December reached io.o8c; October 10. 2ec and September il.o4c. August was dull and neglected, but also showed frmness selling as high as I2.2 2ec and closing at l2 2Sc bid. The Liverpool cables were unimportant, showing little better than expected if any thing. and the weather over the South was regarded as ideal with crop accounts stiil of | bearish average though there is some talk of damage from boil weevil.

 NEW YORK. Aug. 24.-The advices from the South to-day were not indicative of any such progress in the crop as we were led to look for. The Texas reports especially were more alarming as to the damage by weeviI That State has been watched as never before. and 1t now looks as if the damage by insects may prove greater than was deemed possible a few weeks ago. The general surroundings are strong. New cotton is slow in coming forward, and until it moves, sellers are ex- trernely shy. Worm damage in the Atlantic States is impressing Liverpool in . measure. On the whole. both sides are not disposed to be aggressive, but 1t is generally felt that even with an open fall we shall not raise more than will be needed the coming season. and that the eagerness of spinners to replen- ish stocks will strengthen the market as the season advances. Shorts were covering dur ing the morning. and this led to q substan- fial advance. Cables were 1 to higher Leading firms were buying without the aid of fhe pool. Fear of the weather changing for the worse caused a little scare. People who weres sure of a splendid crop recently. were Jess confident now and the continued small receipts scared bears generally. Port receipts estimated at 400. against 7,4oo last year.

SUGAR BEET FACTORY
LOOKS LIKE A GO
Contract Forms Have Been Sub
mitted to the Growers and
MANY Will Sign.

a communication from p. f. Deering-
hoff, a well-known rancher Of Artesian.
was received Yesterday in which he en-
closed copy of the contract to be en-
tered into between the growers and the
company, insuring the latter a sufficient
quantity of material with which to ope-
rate the factory when built Mr. Deer
inghOff is in direct communication with
f. ID. Comings, the promoter of the
beet sugar factory project, and he is
confident that the proposition will be a
go He is interesting the farmers in his
immediate vicinity who, he saws. are
very much dissatisfied with the price of
potatoes and are enthusiastic over the
prospect of obtaining a certain market
for a good beet crop.
"There will be parties in the field to
give farmers all necessary information
in regard to soil, planting and cultivat-
ing" says Mr.. Deeringhoff, "and with
an average yield of 90 tons per acre and
sure market for every ton, the propo-
sition is very encouraging
1t has been fully demonstrated that
the climate and soil of this valley are
especially adapted to the raising of sugar
beets. The experimental crops raised
by the railroad company have analyzed
over 81 per cent in sugar, while IL per
cent is the standard average
Mr.. Comings has unlimited capital
back of this project, and if the farmers
of the county will agree to furnish the
beets, factory costing between 5000 900
and 500, 900 will be put up here at once
Mr.. Hotchkiss, gentleman from the
east who is greatly interested in the fu-
ture of this scheme, assures all the cap
ital necessary to back up the PROPOSE
ton. 1t is now only question in the
hands OF the farmers.
An office will be established here soon.
where full particulars will be furnished
any one desiring to look into the matter.

tail grocers of which he is the organizer.

A R0USING MEETING
HELD BY CITIZENS
Some Spirited Arguments Advanced
for and "FerninSt' the lrriga-
cation Bill.

Tuesday evening at the Commercial
Club rooms was the occasion for Il large
gathering of representative citizens who
were DESTROYS OF looking into the adj
visibility OF endorsing the bill to be
presented during the present session of
the Legislature, copy OF winch was
printed i'll HE HERALD last week.
There Is much opposition to be con-
tended with by the supporters of the
measure, all of which found expression
through the voices OF some of the most
prominent men Ill tins section ut last
nights mass meeting.
h. r. Blame OF Seattle, a representa-
tive OF the " ashington Irrigation Com
pany, who is one OF the prime movers
III the project tor conserving the surplus
waters of the NatcheZ and Yakima riv-
ers by means of reservoirs, and who
prepared the original bill giving right
of-way to private individuals or corpo-
rations, was present last evening and
addressed the meeting at some length
along the general lines of storage, max
ing 1t plain to those III attendance that
something must be done at once, and
endeavored to explain the merits Of the
proposed bill, by which he looks for the
greatest relief and the greatest good for
all. Mr.. Blaine is man of much learn
ing and fine lawyer, and does not be-
live in procrastinatlng about IA PROPOSE
ton in which every one agrees that
something must be done.
Many and heated speeches were made
by such men as Edward " hitson, Ira 2.
Englehart, John Cleman, }. ID. Medill,
George 5. Rankin, Dan Lesh, Alex
Miller and others who always take a
deep interest in the connnunity's wei
fare. Many of the orators evinced fiery
streaks of earnestness in their pro and
con ideas, and brilliant efforts at rep
artee were INDUCED in by several gen.
tlemen, notably John Cleman VS.. Ira p.
Englehart, and j. ID. Medill vs. Edward
Whitson.
W. II. Redman is opposed to the bill
As he Enthusiastically said, 1T offers
too much chance for 'hogging. They
may say that the law protects the PEG.
pie, but the railroads also say the law
protects the people from exorbitant
freight rates. Does it? There is always
some loophole left unguarded in matters
of this kind by which the law is de.
feated.'
q. 5. Rankin is opposed to the bill as
it now stands, but with proper amend.
ments he thinks it should be endorsed
and pushed to finality.
John Cleman said: The bill is
vicious in every section and shows
plainly the work Of monopoly"
Many other opinions were exchanged
but lack Of space prohibits their publ.
cation.
1t was finally decided to appoint a
committee who are to get together and
suggest amendments to the bill, and on
next Saturday evening in the CONNER
cial club rooms submit them for adop-
ton or disapproval by the people. The
committee is composed OF Alex Miller,
G.. 5. Rankin, Ira p. Englehart, Edward
Whitson, Dan Lesh and J. d. Medill.

and Miss Smith were commented upon.
There is some talk of bringing the opera
here for the benefit of the Catholic
church, and it might prove good stunt.
The fact that the show is composed of
Ellensburg talent is no just reason why
the leopie of North Yakima should
desire to freeze it out, and it is not the
belief of THE HERALD that such would
be the case. Yakima might wish to
take an amateur show to Ellensburg at
some future date. Why not be chart

was the recipient OF a jolly surprise
party last Friday evening at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Tuesley where

with baskets of refreshments, stole upon
the residence, and captured the situa-
ton to the feigned discontinue of the
occupants.
Games and music, interspersed with
the delicious refreshments and viands,
became the order OF the evening, and it
was late, or properly speaking, an
early hour before thought OF "home and
mother" had entered the young peoples
mind. Before the close OF the evenings
jollitv, Miss Wisdom was presented
with a beautiful pearl gold-mounted
pen from the members OF her large class
as a token OF esteem.
Miss Wisdom departed on Sunday
afternoon train for Seattle. On Mon
day she expressed box of cut flowers
made into bouquets, one OF which was
presented to each me mber of her for
