pEELER PLANS TO KILL TRUSTS
He Would Refuse to Patronage Them
unless They Are Cheaper Than
Their Independent Competitors.

Austin, Texas, March s--When the
school text book bill was up in the
house Friday Representative Peeler
got the following amendment tackled
on: Provided, that no book or books
shall be purchased from any person,
firm or corporation who is member
Of or connected with any trust. Pro
vided, such book or books can be
purchased from any other source at
the same price"
He is Of the opinion that the best
way to keep trusts and monopolies
out of the State is to quit patroniz-
ing them, and with that idea in view
he got the amendment adopted.
Mr.. Peeler stated today that the
best way to stop trust progress in Tex
as was to quit buying from them, and
as school books are necessary for
children the way to curb the book
monopoly was to prohibit the text
book board from buying trust made

Personally he did not blame any fell

Mr.. Tyler suggested that the end Of

table present a purse to the waiter at

to the student who tips the waiter
getting his dishes red hot from the
oven while the man who fails to tip
was apt sometimes to get cold dish

BAXTER and Co.'S Cotton Letter,

New York, Nov. 2S.-Liverpool re-
ported a higher market to-day by COS
points, and the local trade was conse-
quently encouraged, except where big
crop estimates are adhered to, and
these are few. People who have studied
the situation closely feel that the crop
is small one. Receipts are now large,
it is true, but after the close of the
year, they will fall off materially. The
two bureau reports which are due next
week are bound to be very bullish. 1t
is expected that the bears as usual will
poo-pooh the figures and try to prove
that they point to an enormous crop,
but sellers are getting more and more
nervous, and such tactics will not avail
much. The world will have to get
along with a moderate yield as best it
can, and the only remedy for spinners
is to fill up now or pay more later on.
Liverpool stocks are gaining slowly.
Even when they will equal last year,
they will still be moderate, Shorts COW

and not much cotton was for sale. Port

Next weeks movement is not expected
to be ahead of last year by more than
10 per cent. The New York stock fails
to gain much.
Estimates for Monday: Houston, 49,

A. Norden q Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Although the
impression has been general here that
we would see rather a quiet market
until after the bureau, Liverpools ac-
ton this morning seems to indicate
that after all, the nervousness on that
side may give US the expected adj
vance before the bureau instead Of
after. Our market met the advance in
Liverpool fully, though without much
excitement, until towards the close
when good buying by our bull lead
ers gave the market a final upward
twist. There are no new features Of
interest; one or two additional crop
estimates are in, but these are COM
mencing to be monotonous, and cause
little comment. On the other hand
there is considerable curiosity as to
the bureau figure, with guesses rang
