Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick & Co.


New York. Oct. 17.-The weather
over Sunday was nearly perfect, ca
bles were a little lower than due but
the local market opened firm at un-
changed prices to an advance of 5
points and following the call increased
the gains somewhat on an increased
buying movement through wire and
commission houses, aided by the pur-
chases of local and southern bull spec
ulators, notably, it was said, w. p
Brown, but at the advance offerings
became heavier and there was con-
siderable selling credited to spot cot
ton people who claimed that cotton
was offering on a lower basis in the
South. owing to the accumulation of
stocks at interior points, and the list
sagged off little under 10 cents for
January, but il did not go down easy
under that level. Private wires re-
ported moderate frosts In some locali-
ties, and ii was reported that a cold
wave was working South, but ii seems
that these items are losing some of
their effectiveness as a bull argument,
owing to the fact that October is half
over, and the crop is an early one,
though anything like a real killing
frost with the thermometer down to the
freezing point in any considerable
area would undoubtedly have n strong
effect on speculation. Our private add
vices do not indicate that Southern
holders are weakening to any extent,
and we think the bear drive to-day
has been made with a view to destroy
ing confidence among these holders
rather than as a result of the alleged
lower offers. OF course the immediate
situation depends on the spot holders
refusing to sell below 10 cents and also
on the necessity Of the mills TO buy
We think small estimates are growing
more popular and consider the mar
ket q purchase on all hrenks

belfast Republican JournaD.
Why is it when certain politicians
are seeking support at the polls you
never hear of the merchants friend,
the fisherman's friend, the manufacture
er's friend, the shipbuilder's or sailors
friend? The men engaged in these vari-
Gus lines are certainly interested as
much as any others in the enactment OF
just laws, in wise Administrations and
the promotion of the general welfare.
But. strange to say. you hear only of
the farmers friend. Why? Well, posi-
bly, because of mistaken idea as to
the position of the farmer of today. The
average politician is apt to regard the
farmer as Il man who lives away back,
i'm comparative isolation as little versed
in public affairs, and as an easy
mark for the dealer in political and
other green goods" This assumption
is of course an insult to the Maine far
mer of these days. and we are surprised
that any politician who has arrived at
the dignity of long clothes should give
color TO it. 1t is without the slightest
justification or excuse. The Grange
as an educational and social force has
done much for the farmer: the r. f.

The Mormon question has found its
way into the sphere of women's clubs,
and there are likely TO be lively times
before the last is heard of 1t in that
connection. The discovery ut the s..
Louis session of the National Women's
Federation that many Mormon women
are members, not only in the clubs If
Utah, but several exclusive feminine
organizations in the East has caused n
great sensation. AS the plural wiv IS

matter of their expulsion, there is
every prospect of n vigorous fight if the

One exchange comments somewhat
plaintiveiy upon the fact that certain
members of the State committee are
supporting Mr.. Cobb. 1t declares, with
truth. that his opponents are clean
men, and demands to know what rea-
son there is why members Of the state
committee, or in fact any Republican.
should oppose them. 1t is perhaps un-
fortunate that it IL not possible to
support more than one man for one
office at one time. Certainly it Is a
very poor plan. in the long run, to
promise to do so. Because a man is
true to his best judgment and loyalty
supports the candidate Of his choice.
It should not be taken as any reflection
upon the opponents of that candidate,
and any attempt to make it appear so
is certainly far fetched.

less good men and probably would

can. however. has the honor and plea
sure to announce as it's choice, for the
high office the name of one who! has al
ways been a loyal Republican and has
always borne an -epAiable reputation
