PICKED UP ON 'CHANGE

The bulls got another hard bump
yesterday. Sully and McFadden hit
the king every time he showed his
head.
Mr.. John r. Young is investigating
the combine scheme in Jacksonville.
When asked whether there was any
change in freight rates a local man
said yesterday: There are no
freights for the reason that the brok-
ers say We have no cotton for sale
and the exporters reply we won't pay
your prices"

Think Severe Smash is Expected in
Liverpool To-day.

New York, Feb. 24.-It was quite to
be expected. In fact under ordinary
market conditions prices should not
have gone much above IA cents, but
fluctuations are on a big scale, and
the advance goes farther than ii should
just as prices go lower than they
ought when the weakness comes. When
we sent over the wire this morning
that the leading New York operator
was selling and getting out, no other
sign of the impending break was nee
essary.
The advance was led by New York,
and II looks as though We would lead
the decline. A severe smash can be
expected in Liverpool tomorrow, and

blame SuIIy for the Unexpected De-
cline.
New York. Feb. 24.IThe market to-
day seems to have been ruled entirely
by the heavy transactions of our focal
bull leader. who. after first forcing an
advance became a heavy seller, fore
ing out many outsiders on stop orders.
The intrinsic value of cotton has not
been changed by to-day's operations,
and we look upon such fluctuations as
only what has to be expected during
the balance of the season. We are ad-
vising our friends to take advantage
of such breaks to buy cotton. feeling
convinced that sooner or later such
purchases will show a good profit.

PIKE COUNTY FLOOD
SITUATION IS SERIOUS
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal
PETERSBURG. Ind, March 29.-White
river is rising steadily at the rate of half
an inch an hour, and the flood has taken
serious prospect. No freight trains are
running on the Z. & l. Passenger trains
are running as far north as Newberry, Ind,
where a big bridge is washed out. The
wrecking crew at work there can make
no Roadway against the rising flood. There
are over 10000 acres of wheat covered in
White river bottoms. The river lacks two
feet of being high as in 1897, but with
the rise coming from above, that mark
will be passed within the next forty
eight hours The river is about three
miles wide, and is now being backed up
by the Wabash.
Hazelton. small town south of here, is
totally isolated by the flood. All trains
have stopped running, and there Is no way
out except by wagon road Nearly half
of the town is under wafer The city water
works pumping station is in immediate
danger, but the river will have to. rise
four feet before any great damage will
be done, unless by cave-ins. A small leak
in the bottom of the pumping station is
causing the employees anxiety, but the
water is being kept baled out. The crest
of the food IL is believed will not reach
this point for two days.

TWO PRIMARIES ARE
HELD At TERRE HAUTE
Bidaman Develops Surprising
Strength and Captures Repub
lican Delegates.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE, March 29-Republicans
and Democrats both held primaries to-
night to select delegates to city conven-
tons, which both will hold tomorrow
night.
The Democrats have contests for any
of the city offices. The Tammany machine
is working smoothly that the opposition
to Mayor Steeg, who is to be nominated
for third term, realized that ii would be
useless to attempt his defeat in the pri-
maries. James Carlos is the only candi-
date for city controller. He is nephew of
John T. Lamb, the boss of Tammany.
The contest among the Republicans mar
rowed to Herbert Briggs and Edward Bida-
man for mayor. Mr.. Briggs Is principal of
a city school and has been a member of
the City Council for twelve years Bida-
man was a policeman for number of
years and when removed by Mayor Steeg
more than a year ago started his canvass
for the nomination for mayor to run against
Mayor Steeg.
Bidaman captured thirty-five delegaes to
eleven for Briggs. 1t was a surprising dem
onstration of strength and is accounted for
several grounds. chief of which was
that while men of long influence as party
leaders were behind Briggs, Bidaman was
supported by the masses in precincts where
the middle class and workingmen live. The
latter turned out as never before at pri-
roarieS

ductive The leases were for five years.
In each case where payment was refused

GROUNDHOGS RUINED
WABASH RIVER LEVEE

SULLIVAN, Ind, March 29.-The farmers
whose land lies behind the Gill township
levee are execrating groundhogs, for two
grounding holes through the levee were the
prime causes of the break yesterday.
The break is now lbs feet wide and is
spreading at the rate of two feet an hour.
There is nothing for the farmers to do now
but wait until the river goes down. 1t is
estimated a million gallons a minute are
passing through the break and the roar of
the angry waters can be heard in every
direction. Three hundred feet of the IL
linois Central track on the west side of the
Riverton bridge forms a dam over which
the water pours and helps fill the lower
lands south OF the embankment. BY a Gu
riouS coincidence the break in the levee on
Monday occurred almost exactly six years
after the previous break in the levee which
took place March IS, 1898. The break that
year was at p. m, and the one this year
at D. m.

RIVER At TERRE HAUTE
STANDS At HIGH STAGE

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 29.-The
Wabash. which began falling fast yester-
day. to-day almost came to stand. and
has twenty-three feet seven inches in the
channel tonight. The volume of water is
coming from far north The receding wa
ter of the small streams of this section
has left many roads impossible because
of mud. a Wabash levee south of the city,
protecting 9lW acres, gave way and fdrm-
ers had to leave their homes. The Evans
willie az Terre Haute Railroad has again
suspended through trains because the
breaking of levee this side of Vincennes
washed out the track.
