MARKET SHOWED SOME GOOD GAINS Rumor of New Southern Bull
 Clique CABLES WERE MUCH BETTER Report of Cold Wave for the North Started Covering and Steady
 Undertone Then Con-
 tinued.
 

New York. April 15.-The cotton mar ket opened firm at an advance of one to nine points and showed some further gains in the first few minutes on a con- tinuation of covering noted late yesterday and buying on the theory that new southern bull clique had been formed The advances were also mprompted by rather better cables than expected, but there was no sign of bull support. On the contrary New Orleans appeared to be selling here and the southern market showed pronounced weakness.
 This was followed by renewal of bear pressure in the local market and for the first half hour this advantage was very active and excited and prices break ing down rapidly until they had lost not only the Initial advances but were net to 126p14 points lower on the old crop and five to six points lower on the new crop positions. The early selling had been encouraged to some extent perhaps by rather more seasonable temperatures over the belt but the existence of cold wave in the north and a forecast calling for colder weather started the market upon covering around midday and during the balance of the session prices showed a generally steadier undertone.
 The end week figures made very bullish comparisons, the into sight for the week running about 61,000 bales behind last years figures but this had been pretty well discounted and had no appreciable influence on the market which was much less active after the early break. The close was steady at about the best level of the day, a net advance of three to eight points on the old crop while the new was unchanged to one point higher. Sales estimated at 100000 bales.
 Estimated receipts at the ports today were 4516 bales against 145l last week and 9366 last year. For the week 2s000 against fl, ,251 last week and 9632 last year. Today's recipts at New Orleans were 2lG6 against 295, ,293 last year, and at Houston 1233 against 3327 last year.

The name of George Vivian OF
Soudan has been brought forth by
large number of friends on both
ranges for the position of treas
urer of st. Louis county. His
many friends are constant in
their demands that he allow him
self to become a candidate and we
understand he is seriously con-
sidering the subject. Not since
the election of John Owens as
clerk of the court, years ago, has
the Vermilion range been favored
with county office and we sim
cerely believe we are entitled to
representation. Mr.. Vivian is a
man emminently fitted for the
position and his long residence on
the range and his untiring efforts
for the party entitle him to re-
cognition. We sincerely hope he
may become a candidate.

r. G. DUNN in all his public
addresses made during the present
campaign sticks to his statements
made and says he is sorry the OPP
position has forced him to make
them. He says he will do all in
his power to secure the nomination
at the state convention but will
abide by it's decision and work for
the man nominated whether it be
Eddy, Collins, Eustis or any other
Republican. The men with such
sentiments as these make good

DURING the eight years R. G.
Dunn was state auditor, he re-
covered $500 from timber tres
passers. Up to that time for
thirty years and while timber tres
passing was far greater than
during any of the years under his
regime, only $4,000 was recovered
by his predecessors. This is sub
stantiated by the records of the
state. A man who looked after
the states interests so zealously
while in the auditors office is also
a fit man to place in the gov
ernor's chair. He may not be as
rhetorical as some but far more
effective.

MAYOR Fay of Virginia and his
city council are at war. The
mayor wants the ordinance amend
ed which places a limit on the
number of saloons in the city. The
council thinks that 35 saloons are
enough to keep within the bounds

if it is morality they wish, he will
give it to them in large doses and
has ordered the state law enforced
closing the saloons at II o'clock
