BLYTHE FOR CONGRESS-.
Rockwell Phonograph,l

There are renewed rumors that James
f. Blythe is contemplating another
attempt at breaking into congress.
His success in the recent fight for
Woodward is said to have led to the
belief that with Cero Gordo he is sure
to win. Strenuous efforts will be put
forth to hold the county organization
next year and gain all possible pres
tiae for the real show the succeeding
season.
DEAL IN REALTY, NOT REALITY
tCouncil Bluffs Nonpareii.]
Council Bluffs man is very much
elated because he sees chance to sell
81, 600 acres Of western land at profit
of $4,000. This means profit OF 1212
cents on each acre of land. Western
land comes in bulk and is sold on very
close margins, like sugar and sand. It
is said that deal OF over million
acres of Texas land fell through once
because OF dispute between seller and
buyer as to who should pay the freight
ON the deeds.
NO IGNORANT RURAL VOTER.
ICenterville Citizen.l
1t should not be forgotten in the
coming campaign that there is no long
err an ignorant rural voter. The coun-
try has been consolidated since the
last election. What with the universal
trolley the whizzing automobile, the
rural delivery, the telephone, the omni-
present daily paper, the vast volume
of travel all over the country, the sum-
mer schools, lectures, chautauquas,
and a thousand other agencies, every
body is in the political university and
there is the country districts to be
heard from. The farmer is alive to
the issues OF the day and he will decide
the contest in an honest and conserv-
ative manner.

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, May 6.-There was no
sign of actual life in the stock mar
ket today and the feeble drift of prices
never got far from last nights level
or, for that matter, from last week s
level. There was some heaviness ear
ly but the level of prices came up
later in the day. The early heaviness
was in sympathy with the sharp de-
cline in Metropolitan Street Railway,
apparently due to state railroad statis-
tics, showing the passenger trafilc OF
the Metropolitan company practically
stationary for the last year. The in
consistency of the market was shown
by the sympathetic decline in the 9TH
er traction stocks although the same
statistics showed a large increase in
their traffic. Later in the day when an
upward movement in the other trac-
1ons was undertaken Metropolitan
railway recovered in sympathy. The
heaVy gold outgo. the days engage
ments reaching $4,500.000 caused
some attention to be given to the bank
statement prospects. A large loan eX-
panslon is taken for granted There
was an appreciably firmer tone to call
money today. considerable impair
ment OF the surplus would not be n
surprise in tomorrow bank state
ment. Reports of railroad earnings
were not stimulating to the demand

mand for actual cotton in the face
of an alarmingly small movement ana
limited supplies has been such no IN
advance prices of the near futuras
irrespective of crop news and the
selling of distant options. AS the flo
ures are now about 100000 bales he
hind last year, and by the first of
June Will be considerably over 500
600 bales, the crop in a few weeks
will look like 1O,O0O,000 bale com
mercial crop. AS the years exports
are 120,00 bales behind last wear.
and the excess at port and interior
towns is less than 100000 bales, it
would be surprising if foreigners he
came more anxious regarding the sup
plies of cotton to carry them through
the remainder of the season IT is
difficult to see how the deficiency in
exports can be made up out of the
slight excess of 100000 bales in this
country and for this reason conser-
vative people regard the short selling
of the old crop positions as nothing
short of financial suicide. 1t may
be far from wisdom to buy cotton at
1870. or 14c.. but it is not half as
insane q proposition as it is to sell
short with a famine on our hands.
AT one time this week there was a
genuine scare among shorts in July
and for the first time since the de-
cline following the census report that
option showed signs OF life.
A number of the larger shorts who
have been most instrumental i'm de-
pressing the market of late have been
getting in out Of the wet. Exporters
are now in control of the New York
stock, and by the first of June we
will have one of the smallest supplies
in this city in many years. 1t will
not be difficult for even light waist
ed trader to buy few thousand
bales and cause a stampede in that
option. The position is so strong
that the best opinion on the floor is
against the short side of the old crop
months AS regards the new crop
options weather conditions have been
better this week and warm sunshine
has done much to help along growth.
But generally speaking the progress
of the crop has not been at all bril-
liant, and it is unlikely that the June
figures will be high enough to cause
enthusiasm. With the new crop
months already selling at d discount
OF cents per pound, it is hardly q
business proposition to so short of
these months with the new crop hard
ly out OF the ground. There Will be
plainly of time later on in the season
to sell short in the event of excellent
crop prospects and the probability of
more cotton than will be needed. But
with the prospects OF smaller reserves
at the end of the year than at any
time since the Civil War, big yield
Will be necessary to prevent 20 cents
cotton next season. 1t may not be
time to buy cotton for investment but
there is very little in the situation to
justify short selling, as the recent
course of prices has shown. 1t APP
pears to be a scalping market, and
from the action of the new crops, it
will take some weeks of excellent
weather to get them down below the
eleven cent mark.

New York Cotton.
New York, May 6.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of 6 to
ID points on active covering and what
seemed to be New Orleans support, en-.
couraged by a continued good demand
from spot cotton in the Liverpool
market where spot cotton was 4 Eng
fish points higher and futures were
also much better than expected. In
addition to this showing as an incen-
tive for buying the weather was rather
mixed. There was said to be too much
rain in portions of Texas, threatening
an overflow of the BraZos valley which
would prove beneficial or injurious ac-
cording to how firmly the plant was
rooted, while along the Atlantic coast
il was said rain was needed. But the
81 advances attracted considerable real
izing and the market after the call
held no better than steady fr time
with july aUNCLllClHS W 1907, a IiCi
advance of 16 points and the general
range to 16 points higher. Follow
ing this q decline set in. There was
evidently a good-siZed selling order in
the hands of a room trader believed
to be operating for a certain large Wall
Street operator and who sold July on
a scale up during the early trading.

Orleans was trying to sell here and
