Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

By II. x B. Beer.
 New Orleans, September 2s-weakness in American markets yesterday closed the Liverpool market easier than expect ed today, September declining 20 points, the more distant positions to points, and spots were reduced 20 points to 6.04d for middiing; sales, 5o0o receipts, 11OOo.
 New Orleans opened at decline of h few points, December, 1923, afterwards selling as low at 2 points from which level values reacted on profit taking by shorts, principally at New York. Aside of the continuance of a very full movement to market except at this place where arrivals are only moderate there were no new developments and trading was on smaller scale, traders waiting for some thing new to turn up upon which to act.
 Receipts at all ports were 71,986, last year 4s,s16. since Friday 3O2.5s2 vs 2l9, 458 and arrivals at thirteen interior towns for half of the week were, (Selfna, Ala, missing this year) 11o,2oo vs. so, ,94s. Ship ments to Europe from the United States since last Friday have been 165, 308 vs. 1914 from same time one year ago. Port receipts, however have been so large as to spare all this cotton for Eu- rope and still add 16sS15 bales to stock at all ports, 424,743 bales today, last Wednesday 255e28, last year s75,76S, year before 346572. Advices from Galveston were to the effect that there was good freight room demand for October ship ments at that port and Houston advised that spot holders in Texas were refusing to sell at less than hc above quotations. In this market demand for freights very slack and spot cotton was more or less pressed for sale. particularly f. o. b. cot fon which Wa hntp0 ta1 xxrffl Lo lower than yesterday and factors found it hard matter to get rid of spots, ex- cept at a concession which were allowed in the afternoon; market finally closing quiet and unchanged; sales, 1700 to ar rive 3400; middling, 1oszc

New York Cotton Futures.
New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, September 2S.-Spot cot ton market quiet with buyers and sellers apart. The country offered cotton freely
 and in the first half or the day prices
 were a shade easier. Sales, 5100 bales, in- cluding 3400 to arrive and 550 free on board. Quotations unchanged. Futures opened steady at decline Of to points. Liverpool and New York were both weak, but dispatches from New York reporting that New England spin
 ners were in the spot market with good demand was sufficient to send prices up.
 Soon after the opening the market showed considerable strength and later in the day prices were to points higher than yesterdays close, and held the improve
 ment to the end of the session. In the trading October opened points lower at
 10 10, sold up to OPS, and finally receded to 02t. The market closed steady, with net gains of to ' points.

THE WATERwoRKs.

Tonight may be a crucial time for
the city ownership of waterworks. 1t
certainly behooves the council in the
face of the great amount of almost I'M
iversal public expression since the
council last voted on this subject to
take the matter UP tonight, reconsider
it and settle this question of ten years
standing. A settlement will also enable
Topeka to go ahead and discuss some
new features of it's welfare and not be
continually spending it's time and en-
ergy in settling over again matters
that have been settled before. Life is
too short. We must pull together bet
ter for Topeka's upbuilding and the
councilmen can help in this matter
right now more than any one else.
The State Journal comedies that
many or all of the aldermen took their
former stand from a conscientious
standpoint. We have no doubt, how
ever, in fact, know, if what certain
councilmen say. they mean, that there
has been a change of sentiment in the
council.
This has been due largely because
there has been a change in sentiment

In Scratching" your ticket simply mako
a cross mark in the square opposite the

Take your time when in the booth and

Use only the pencil found in the booth,

out unless marked with a, black lead PEN

Study the ballot printed the eighth

how you want to mark it.

STATE PRINTER AMENDMENT.

In the discussion of other interests
the voters may have overlooked a
proposition which they will find on
the tickets presented to them tomor-
row. This is to change the constitu-
ton of the state to provide for the
election of a state printer by the peo-
pie, instead of by the legislature.
Certain selfish interests are opposed
to see why any unprejudiced voter
should not vote aye for the amend
ment. AS the state printer proposition
is now, it is plainly a graft. When
the constitution is changed it is I'M
derstood that the contract system of
awarding the printing or the purchase
of a plant by the state can then be
considered.
If the amendment carries tomorrow
it will be the first step towards rid
ding the state of a graft and provid-
ing for an improved and economical
way of handling the states printing.
If the amendment carries it will repeal
the portion of the constitution govern
ing the state printing. 1t will leave
the matter open for the state later
on to purchase a plant of its own or
to- contract for the work. There is a
difference of opinion as to which of
the latter two would be the better for
the state. The government printing
office is cited as a model of govern
ment ownership. There are other good
reasons why the contract system
should prevail, but in any event it is
well for the proposed amendment to

among the people. Many who, a short
time ago were opposed to the city clos
ing the proposition before it, are now
in favor of it because they see nothing
else to do. They realize, too, that if
the council does not reconsider this &C
ton tonight and should go ahead and
take steps for a new plant that would
not only mean continued and indefinite
litigation, but it might also mean that
the city by such action gives up its
valuable option to purchase. This point
is one which the city council tonight
should consider with the gravest con-
Germ.
AS an instance looking to a change
of sentiment in one ward, the ward OF
Colonel Hughes, a petition was in cir
culation today bearing about hun
dred names of citizens and taxpayers
of that ward by which they instruct
Councilman Hughes to reconsider his
recent action and cast his vote for the
purchase of the plant.
A short time ago the same kind or
an expression was made in the First
ward, and Councilman Ryder, who ev-
identity thought his ward was with
him, found out that many of the most
prominent citizens and business men
took the opposite view. So it is in all
parts of the city.
If councilman has any doubts
about his course in this case, he can
safely vote to purchase the plant and
throw the entire responsibility upon
the voters who at the election gave
him his instructions to buy the plant
at the price agreed on.

1t should also be stated that the Edi-

veloped by home capital and by people
who have the largest possible interest
at stake in the growth and progress of
Topeka.
All of these things lead up to the
suggestion that the council grant the
franchise as now agreed upon and
enable the company to make its big
extensions, give a great amount of
labor to our people, and to enable the
factories of Topeka to expand as they
desire to expand and to encourage
new factories here.
1t is charged against the company
that it has made some money. We
hope this is true.

none will ever be. If the city could
get a revenue we would like to see it,
and we believe it is for us to look to
the Edison to help us get bigger fac

contribution to our revenue. If some
are not satisfied and want a co-opera-
