sold off at the close.
Corn-Corn started off stronger and
higher with good trade, which grad
ually dwindled to almost nothing the
last hour.
Oats-There was considerable activ-
ity for a time in the oats pit. Buying
was general by commission houses,
based presumably on wet weather. De
mand for shipment was very poor.
ProVisions-ProvisiOns started weak
on heavy run of hogs here, and at all
Western points. The buying on break
was largely by shorts, and was of a
particularly good class in July pork.

Cotton Letter to Hayward, Wick q
Company.

Company.
New York, March 31.-Private cables
from Manchester contradict the news
paper accounts of poor trade, and in
sist that British spinners are doing
good business, and they they are
likely to continue doing so for some
time to come. The Liverpool market
begins to lend color to this claim and
again shows a disposition to lead, as
it did several weeks ago.
The strength displayed there to-day,
just before the holidays was certain
ly encouraging, and outside of natural
effect of taking of long profits on this
side there was nothing to hold our
market in check. AS it was, an ad-
vance of over 80 points was at one
time established, and this was only
partly lost as the result of taking down
handsome profits by longs A good
many people look for strong and ac
tive markets after the holidays. The
statistical position is daily becoming
more bullish and the stubbornness of
holders of the remnant of this crop
will be increased in proportion to the
falling off in the movement 1t is true
that within five weeks the argricul-
tural bureau report on the new crop
will be issued giving the increase in
acreage, which may prove to be con-
siderable, but, during the interim,
many tnlnBS can happen, ana III is pos
sible that the predictions of much
higher prices may be verified temporary

From Savannah we hear that 25, 900
bales are now on the wharves await
ing the arrival of steamers to carry
them abroad, and other Southern ports
will ship very heavily within the next
few days. The cotton moving thus is
part of Southern stocks which were
hedged with futures, and which, as we
pointed out at the time, were eagerly
bought by spinners when the big coll
lapse in futures permitted holders to
sell around IL cents owing to the hand
some profits they were able to take in
on these hedges,

COTTON ACREAGE IN TEXAS.
Indications Point To More Than
Average Increase.

Average Increase
The New York Journal of Commerce
says: Present indications point to
more than an average increase in the
cotton acreage of Texas in 1904. This
conclusion is based upon results OBJ
tanned by a special canvass of our
correspondents in that state, to whom
the following questions were addressed
and whose replies are published in
full:
First What will be the increase or
decrease per cent. of cotton acreage
in your vicinity this year compared
with last year?
Second. Is planting early or late
this year?
Third. Is there sufficient labor in
your vicinity to properly care for any
large increase in acreage?
1t being still too early to anticipate
the final acreage with any degree of
accuracy, no attempt is made to esti-
mate the percentage of increase in the
entire state. A glance at the returns,
however, suggests that the increase will
be as large and probably larger than
last year. when it was rs per cent. The
season in Texas is about two weeks
early with cultivation and planting
correspondingly advanced.
The chief drawback was lack of rain
in many districts which somewhat
counteracted the satisfactory state of
the soil and other favorable conditions.
number of correspondents report the
ground in the finest condition. few
complaints are made of boil weevil
but early planting and the use of early
maturing seed have often been re-
sorted to for overcoming this pest
Opinion as to the sufficiency of labor
is divided, number of correspondents
reporting scarcity, but the majority
affirming there is sufficient to handle
a liberal increase in acreage. About
one-half of our correspondents report
planting commenced. Over 270 replies
are published, the average date being

 Some years ago Mrs. Emily Aubery came to WickenburG as a promoter and because she was a woman very few persons thought she would ac- complish.arything but she did more in one year than some men would do in ten. She sold the Bernal mine, the Garcia mine also. She was one promo ter who lost more than she made by having tCo much confidence in the par ties words, instead of binding them up in writing. Many a miner would be short of money to do his assess ments were it not for the aid of a sis ter. wife or daughter
 Another enterprise is about to be started in Wickenburg. It is sanato- rum and while many men say it is a fine thing and 1t is time enough next year, the women s2y their motto is do it now" and be well equipped next year, So one of the principal gentle men remarked that the enthusiasm of some women had convinced him that 1t was q good venture In the near fu- ture Wickenburg will be a health re- sort where invalids' can obtain ali the luxuries and hygienic food adapted to their cases.

WOMEN OF WICxENBURG
Success They Have Attained in nin-
 ing and Other Lines.

Wisk enburg, Sept. 4.-(Special cor Iespondence of the Republican, )-The recent rains and reports of strikes of rich ore in many Of the mining camps has had a very good effect on Wicken- burg residents. Many of them are re- turning with the intention O. pushing work on their claims and now that the Black Rock company and several oth er companies are to start up by the first Of next month it is quite encouraging to merchants and miners alike.
 Mrs. Frank Ryland has returned from visit to her old home in In- diana. She visited the worlds fair ana ether points of interest and looks ten years younger for the trip. She has been more fortunate than most per soEs in her mining enterprise. Though not very robust she more than makes up for it in her business ability and will power, and has made her own deals without having to pay anyone for assistance. She has another deal on hand and her friends rejoice at he~ success.

CONCERNING CAUcUsES.

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir-Accepting the universal belief Of Americans, that this is the best government on earth, it must still be admitted that the average voter has no opportunity for participating in so- called self government" except in the primaries. Unless he helps in the se lection of delegates to the city or coun- ty conventions he has no voice and a. delegates have been chosen in this city for years, by both parties, the mass Of the voters has had no opportunity for representation. By custom, tlose hay ing aspirations for office, a night or two before the primaries have called Caucuses in each ward to select a list of names to be voted for at the pri- mary. Either by custom or for q purpose. these caucuses have been held in a private office or a hastily impr, ,- vised room with but one or two lamps. possibly desk and no stationery. Friends of the aspirant come with a list of his partisans in their pockets. A chairman and secretary are chosen and immediately one having under standing moves that the chair appoint a committee of three or five to retire
 
 being wise has the committee selected already, names them and in i've min utes they report with slight variation usually the names desired by the afoye- mentioned aspirant or decided upon by such aspirants as can work to- gether. It is read and adopted by a viva voce vote of the brethren who come early for that purpose and the meeting Is adjourned before thos2 in the rear of the room. or more oftF.r on the sidewalk unable to enter, tav" been apprised of the progress of tns evenings work.
 Of right the committeeman cf the ward should announce the so-callrd caucus but more correctly the ward convention, at least a week in advance and also announce the hour and the place of meeting which should tn
