No Ballots For Sale.

THE DISPATCH has had an Op-
portunity to sell two thousand
ballots in it's voting contest. OF
course the offer was refused, for
we are dealing in good faith with
our subscribers and those who
went INTO it and we will sell no
ballots. The only opportunity a
person has of securing votes is
in clipping them from the col
umns of the paper and securing
ballots for new subscriptions
and renewals of old subscrip-
tions. We issue ten ballots for
every dollar paid on subscrip-
ton, old or new, delinquent or
in advance. and with the ballot
printed in the paper each week,
this is the only source from
which votes can be obtained.
In several instances subscrib-
erS who paid subscriptions some
time back have asked that the
credit of their collection be given
to certain candidates. This can
not and will not be done. When
a subscriber pays a subscription
he or she must give credit at the
time of payment for the collec-
ton to the candidate in the
thousand vote contest. Only
this way and in this way can the
record be kept correct. All
credits for subscriptions in the
thousand vote contest has to be
given when the money is paid or
the credit will not be allowed.

COTTON STATEMENT.
For Week Ending Friday. November 70. 1903
Prepared by r. A. Carson. Secretary colum-
bus Cotton Exchange.

Inc following IS Gilbert q
Clay's cotton letter reviewing
yesterdays market:
NEW ORLEANS. Nov. II, 1908.
Liverpool cables this morning
recorded a decline of about 10
English points on contracts,
with spots marked IA down and
private advices give evidence
that a generally bearish feeling
exists on the other side due to
the record movement and the
large amount of cotton aflOat.
Exports are now ahead of last
season and our trans Atlantic
begins to feel a little more com
Portable. This market started
today with a slight decline, but
1t was evident early in the SEES
sion that no selling of an urgent
character was to be looked for,
but on the contrary many buy
ing orders came into the market
which, in connection with the
predicted cold weather, caused
a reaction and shorts who had
put out lines in anticipation of a
further decline were compelled
to cover, the final result being a
net gain of q points for the day,
which is truly remarkable in the
face of record breaking receipts.
Galveston, Houston and New Or
leans expect to- morrow from
$4,000 to $4,000 in excess of same
day last year, and the port re-
ceipts are the heaviest on record.
In fact. the movement this week
will probably exceed that of any
previous corresponding period.
The advance with the conditions
can only be explained by the
the fact that the enormous move
ment is not a weight on the mar
ket. For instance, our Galveston
correspondent wires that of the
50, 302 bales received today all
is through cotton with the ex-
ceptiOn of about 1900 bales;
in fact, the crux Of tn e
problem is consumption and it
will be interesting to note the
quantity Of cotton that passes
out of sight this week. Fall
River manufacturers have de
clined all suggestions made by
labor leaders and the question of
whether there will be a strike
next Monday is still undecided.
Labor, however, is inclined to
avoid arbitrary steps and the
chances are that some sort of
compromise will be reached.
Early spots were quiet from six
teenth to eighth lower with little
disposition to operate on either
side. The rise in contract was
sufficient to Offset this tendency
and quotations were marked up
sixteenth. All facts considered
with a crop of 10. 100000 bales,
present prices are IN our opinion
justified. Naturally there will
be periods Of depression and we
continue to think that the mar
ket should be bought on weak
spots with the idea of realizing
strong markets at least until
