The bulls again got under the mar
ket yesterday and tossed futures up
over half cent. The early morning
saw a rapid advance and prices went
soaring from 81 to 46 points. This was
due to the fact that the cables were
most favorable, and that the estimate
for the days receipts was extremely
light. From a statistical standpoint
the cotton market was never on a
firmer basis, and traders confidently
look for another upward movement.
There is a great demand for spot cot
ton from the mills, and the way cotton
is not showing up indicates a short
crop, and unusually heavy demand.
After the advance the market
broke, but on advices from New Or
leans that 10000 bales of spot cotton
had been sold there the trend of fu-
lures became very strong again, and
prices closed up both in New York and
New Orleans, the former showing a SO
point advance and the latter city was
81 steps up the ladder.
The local spot market was dull and
nominal and there was but little bust
ness transacted.
Some little trading was done f. o. b.
and there was more inquiry for cotton
during the day than for some time
past.
Futures, however. did not stay down
long enough for exporters to buy the
cotton they wanted, as futures hardly
touched the lowest point before cot
ton went up" and the interior CLOSED
down. The price posted on a basis
of good middling was l3c at the open
ing and 13Ac at the close.

weakened before the close OF the day
and I and below sold cents off. The
tone is firm. although the undertone Of
commons and mediums is undeniably
weak.
The receipts yesterday amounted to
1.S43 barrels, exports 81 barrels,
and sales 1.22S, all of which
were reported sold at the IL
o'clock call, only one buyer being on the
market tt

Mr.. Roos evelt in his letter of
acceptance was egotistlcal enough
to say that awe intend in the
future to carry on the govern
ment in the same way we have
carried it on in the past" Any
administration of public affairs
or of private business that does
not attempt to correct errors and
mistakes is not safe. The only
man who does not make mistakes
is the man who does no business.
Whenever a business man reaches
that point where he is entirely
satisfied with his business and
does not further attempt to i'm
prove it it will soon drop into de-
cay and he will become a bank
rupt. Mr.. Roosevelt is doubtless
the only man who has occupied
his exalted station, who was en-
tirely satisfied with himself and
his official acts. Truly great men
are conscious of error and seek to
correct them and this boast of the
president writes him down pig
headed and the greatest egotist
who has ever occupied the presi-
dents char.

TupeIo's Facilities for handling
Cotton.

With the beginning Of the new
business year we find occasion to
congratulate the people Of the
county and we might say of North
Mississippi, upon the fine oppor-
tunities offered here for handling
Of cotton. The compress facilities
are not surpassed anywhere and
everything connected with the
business is strictly first class and
up-to. date. The compress which
was completed just a year ago. is
one of the finest and best equip
ped in the state and has ample
room to store any quantity OF
cotton that may find it's way there.
The sheds are so arranged and
SO divided by brick walls that it
would be impossible to burn more
than n section snould a IRE
occur. The greatest precaution
was taken during the erection
Of the press and sheds to de-
wise the best means to prevent fires
and to confne them to only one
section should q fire occur. This
plan was SO effectually carried out
that we have almost a freproof
compress where the buyers and
others who desire to store their
cotton can find the greatest pro-
lection and the lowest rate Of in
surance.

will be a lively scramble between
the two parties.

Judge Parker has written a let
ter a letter to the chairman of the
literary bureau of the national
democratic committee urging him
70 not allow any attack upon the
honor and integrity of Mr.. Roose-
welt to appear in the party cam
paign book. At every turn Judge
Parker shows himself to be a
high minded gentlemen who would
not have the presidents office un-
less obtained upon the most exalt-
I'd method of campaigning.

We are a "WorId Power"
Pulitzer Reminds Roosevelt Such
was the Easel Before he was Born.

Pulitzer Reminds Roosevelt Such
was the case Before he was Born.
The assurance with which you,
Mr.. President, born in 1858, as
sumo to have discovered the Unit
cd States and its policies is even
more aston nding than the policies
themselves. You tell us that the
Monroe doctorine will be an object
of derision unless we have a mighty
navy. The Monroe doctrine was
thirty-fve years old when you
were born. and doing remarkably
we'll, as it has ever since. You
tell us that without a still newer,
still bigger frstclass navy We must
definitely make up our minds to
accept a secondary position, not
only ia political but in commercial
matters. When you cut your first
tooth we had the greatest mer-
chant marine in the world-great-
err even than England's-and our
navy was insignificant. Our mer-
camille shipping on blue water mas
steadily declined under the re-
strictive policies You favor, and it
is smaller now than it vas when
the first keel of the new navy was
laid.
You tell us that under your
leadership we have just become a
"world power" What were we
pardon the personal illustration
more than a generation before
you were born, when, with only
ten million people and insignificant
ornaments, we flung the Monroe
doctrine into the teeth of the Holy
Alliance?
What can be the purpose of all
these shrieks for a mighty army
and navy, these frenzied denuncia-
tons of Towards" "weaklings'
and '.cravens," who sordidly
mind their own business instead
of flying to arms, with no dis
cernible provocation these frantic
wavings of the mailed fist in the
faces of nations? The spectacle
is extraordinary and bewildering.
The country is in no danger from
any power of Europe. All the
nations of the Old World are watch
ing each other, afraid of each other,
and infinitely more in dread of us,
the terrifying "American PERIL"
than we could possibly be of them.
Not one of them would dream of
adding a war with us to its other
dangers, if we gave it a chance to
escape. If we could stand against
England with Jul greatarmaments
ninety years go, when we had
only eight million people, what
have we to fear now with eighty
million and eight hundred times
the resources and power for war?

Apples In Lee L0nnty.

AT the recent Farmers Institute
at A. and NJ. College there were
shown some very fine apples
grown in Miss. To show that Lee
county is not behind in this bust
ness we submit the following COR
respondence:
Howerton Bros. Orchard Co.,
Guntown, Miss, 9-12-'O4.
U. S. Pomologist, G. B. Bracket,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir:-I am sending you a
specimen of apple by this mail fol-
Identification. We bought these
trees some SIX years ago for Ben
Davis. l am sure this is not the
Ben Davis, but am not sure it is
not a Black Ben Davis. Please lei
me know at an early date what il
ia.
Very truly,
G. T. HOwERTOs.
Washington, D. c., 9-16-I904.
Mr.. g. Howerton,
GuntOwn, Miss.
Dear Sir The receipt is &C.
knowledged of yours of the 18th
and the apple which you say was
bought for the Ben Davis, ano
which you send for Identification
This is about as far from Ser
Davis as an apple could be. 1t
is straight out York Imperial, an6
as fine a specimen as / have evel
seen. If this apple will dc as
we'll in your section of country as
indicated by this specimen, it is
certainly we'll worthy of your at
tention, and should be grown very
extensively. This variety brings
next 10 the highest price in the
foreign markets, where the yellow
Newton stands first.
Yours very truly,
G.. B. BRACKETT, Pomologist
This correspondence shows two
things, first that Nurserymen dc
not ALWAYS send out what the
planter orders, and that Lee coun-
ty is a good place for growing
fine apples. The specimen sent
the pomologiSt was scarcely above
the average, and there are many
finer apples now on the trees.
Howerton Bros. are propigating
this apple now and will have it
ready for planters next season.
