Congressional Committee | do not
at this time purpose to give away
our hand to the enemy. Suffice il
to say that the Hon. Joseph-Weeks

Is marked for slaughter in that
state and we are going To hang his
Official scalp at the democratic

there are others. Watch the dem
ocratic smoke from now on. Wis
consin is our meat.
The fact of the business is that
the big democrats of the nation
who have visited the national capi-
tai IN the past few days all are
wearing smiles as big as a crack in
a frozen liver and are powerfully
hold up" about the situation in
general. They feel that the situa
ton Is clarifying itself SO far rs the
presidential question is concerned.
From the action of the different
states all over the country i'm send
ing uninstructed delegations to the
national convention, they feel that
the purpose of the democracy this
year Is TO get together. II looks
like the watchword is and will be
at the convention 10 meet I'm the
city of st. Louis ON July Is. next.

until victory comes to the party of
the people and rebukeS the party Of
Spohation. of special privilege, of
combines, of trusts. of treasury
hooters and post Office grafters. 1t
no longer now is the question of
any single individual. 1t is the
of the man who can fill the
public eve, in the estimation Of the
delegated democracy i'm convention
assembled. and who can compel the
democratic hosts to get ont and gct
red in the face in support OF him.
They feel that the people not only
are sore at but really afraid of the
political -four flush" and 'fakir"
now in the White House and only
await the opportunity to vote him
out and place therein some man
who will execute the laws of the
country and not attempt To usurp
the prerogatives of the legislative
branch of the government. Ii is
the consensus of opinion here that
such man will be nominated at
II. Louis and will be elected.

 NEW YORK, Jan. I2.-The character of the war news early in the day was such that the weak element became frightened. Cables were also unsatisfactory and bears on the other side were taking advantage of the situation in the Far East Best houses preferred to be gov erned alone by the movement, statisticians with poor memory and whose analyzing prove worthy of consideration are attempting to show what large amount of cotton Is yet to turn up. fcrgetful of the fact that the highest prices for generations have brought the cot ton on the market 90 fast that 1t would not be surprising if the movement would not fall more abruptly than ever. Report of exhaus- tion are reaching us daily and leading centers are showing enough losses at many points to make sellers extremely careful. Prices opened sQs points lower. but sellers were very eau tious because of recipts which were expected to show very moderate, early figures pointing to only an estimate of S6.oo0. against 46 900 last year. good deal of liquidation set in later which weakened prices. but e rally wiped out much of the loss and the general feeling was that the position of cotton is too strong to warrant selling at the present Manchester

 NEW YORK Jan. I2.-The market con- tifs<ad cratic and uncertain today with a break early to i3.eo and an advance later Sfo f4. l0 It was selling by holders against buying by some who are buying for the first lime this season. Profit taking sales were talzen however. and the market worked very much like going on higher In the event of the market working into new ground over I4N eeufs we could expect to see I5-cent cotton on the next advance The average report com ing from the South shows that receipts are likely to be small. If receipts keep on grow ing smaller there is butt one course for prices
 There will be trouble before another crop and l@ cents is not high. if the crop Is as small as people say. But under the present condi- tinns of uncertainty we would rather take profits over l4 cents and wait for new ground before buying. There Is a lot of new buying fn the unarket and if the cotton now being rsld is absorbed and new high prices result there is likely to be sharp advance. The sit nation is peculiar and some uncertainty na- kurmlly exists The war question is a factor ana may have 6 decided influence later on Raoeipes are getting smaller and smaller and in fhe event of this being continued for any lengfh of time prices are likely to seek A hianer level. At l4 cents there is every req son to be conservative in the event of an ad- vance to new ground. there is every induce lnent to take cotton abroad for a quick rise n fhs crop proves moderate those who have ao cotton will have to pay high prices for cot
