New York Politics.

In the Empire State neither party seems to
have named its best man for Governor. Higgins,
the Republican nominee, is scored by the New
York Sun, of his own party, which said of him
the day before his nomination:
"Mr. Frank Wayland Higgins has neither the
character nor the ability to Qualify him for the
governorship of the State of New York. If we
were living in the millennium Mr.. Higgins might
do for Governor, if everybody else was busy. But
this is not the millennium, and perhaps Mr.. Hig-
gins will serve as well as any one as a fgupehead
to point the way to overwhelming and deserved
disaster"
The nomination of Higgins did open up a fine
opportunity for the Democrats, but it looks as if
they failed to improve it, Either Edward M.
shepard or VIM, T. Jerome-strong, clean, brave
men-would have made an excellent candidate,
but the factions quarrelled, and Judge D.. Cady
Herrick is to oppose Higgins for the Governor
ship. The New York Evening Post, for which a
large portion of the independent vote looks for
counsel, has this to say of Herrick:
"The Evening Pos cannot advise anybody to
vote for d. Cady Herrick. His ability we do not
question. On the bench, so far as we know, he has
been an impartial judge. But are we to attack
Odellism with a candidate adept in all the dis
reputable arts of Democratic politics in Albany
County? Are we to preach judicial ~propriety
while nominating a man who has been a local
party boss though a judge2 \ \ 4 No; earn
estly desiring as it does the success of the Demo
cratic national ticket, the Evening Post has it's
own character and consistency to sustain, and
will not support Herrick for Governor. In pass
ing by Jerome and Shepard to nominate him., the
Democratic Convention deliberately threw away
its great opportunity"
Judge Parker has done himself credit by send
ing a letter to the handbook committee urging
that there be "no word in it that reflects upon
the personal honor and integrity of President
Roosevelt" Thoughtful American citizens will
echo Judge Parker's protest against a campaign
of personalities-and it is to be hoped that edi-
tors and cartoonist in both parties will take it to
heart.

DEMERE a HAMMOND
Believe Crop viii Be Largest Ever
Grown.

New York. Sept. 9.-Liverpool had
morning to close out hedges against
spot cotton bought yesterday in the
South Offerings from the interior are
increasing as the demand for shipment
during the first half of September be-
comes exhausted. The recent hot dry
weather in Texas has caused all mature
bolls to open and quite a large prop
osition Of only partially matured bOlls
have done likewise. so that with good
picking weather, the amount of cotton
that will be on the market in the next
few weeks will be great. The only dam
ger to be feared is a heavy rainfall
and Of approach of this, there was no
sign this morning. AS a result, prices
gave way and were assisted in their
downward movement by active ham
mering by the bear party. Late this
afternoon, just before the close, n ru-
NOR was started that the storm bad
finally entered the Gulf and that storm
signals had been ordered up along the
Gulf coast. 1t was too late to verify
such rumors before the closing, and
the result was a rally of 20 points
from the lowest of the day. There is
no doubt that Il wet spell in the pres
ent state of fields. which are said to
be white with open cotton, would have
the effect of making short interest un-
comfortable, and possibly cause a con-
siderable rally But we must first get
the storm and the wet spell before we
can look for the recovery. The move
ment is rapidly assuming a normal,
that is to say. large volume in pro-
portion to the size of this crop. which
even at its worst. promises to be larger
fhaRafnFn
movement should be in large proportion.
1t looks as if farmers are willing to ac-
cept present prices, and unless some
thing comes to change their present
disposition. or to retard picking and
ginning, the market will be called upon
to absorb an unusual quantity of cot
ton in the next few weeks.

Daily Cotton Letter from New

Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.
New York, Sept. Stems against
the market to-day were private wires
from various Southern points report
ing increased offerings of spot cotton
and the fact that very few buyers
were in evidence, while the into sight"
for the week of nearly 100000 bales,
compared with about $1,000 bales for
the same week last year, also had a
tendency to accentUate the fact that
stocks were gradually accommodating.
They are not yet large enough to be
considered an actual pressure against
the market. but as speculation is a
thing devised to discount future condi-
ton, it seems quite reasonable to sup
any rate, the increasing movement will
exercise a sentimental effect on prices,
no matter what the crop may eventual
ly prove to be. This, of course, depends
on the attitude of spinners.
At the decline this morning, there
was some pretty good buying. attrbut-
ed to these interests, and it is possible
that any decline in the Southern spot
markets would stimulate trade de-
mand to an extent that would offset the
power of increasing receipts That is
only one of the uncertainties in the
situation. the crop being the greatest.
and until these matters can be judged
more confidently, we can see nothing
but a scapling market.

Many members of the naval stores

they went to 521s cents, but such was
not the case, for the market went

the close of the market and
practically all of the late re-

The rosin market, in direct contrast

NEW YORK CLOSED LOWER
AND BARELY STEADY.

New York. Sept. S.-The cotton mar
ket opened easy at unchanged prices
to a decline of points in response
to lower English cables, generally fav-
orable weather advices and increasing
receipts. Trading was moderately ac-
tive during the early session. Liver
pool continued easy after the local
opening and sent selling orders to this
side. leading to the suggestion that
the active covering noted in that mar
ket on the previous day had greatly
cleared up the speculative situation in
relation to September contracts, and
the delayed shipments from this side.
At first the market here showed more
or less irregu1aTity, and as prices drop
ped back to about 80 points under the
high point of yesterday there was
fair demand from the scalpers on the
reacting theory. Wall street kept
hammering the market, and with hard
ly reaction of more than 5 or points
the list worked steadily downward I'M
til in the afternoon, it showed a net
loss of about Is to Il points. Later
there was rally of or points on
covering and reports that a tropical
storm that has been working up from
the West Indies had reached Florida
and it was likely to spread over the
entire Eastern belt. This stimulated
demand only for a moment. however
the market was finally barely steady
at a net loss of II to IA points, or
nearly the lowest for the session.
Sales were estimated at 300 bales or
little better than yesterday Full
exports were reported, but receipts
also ran full. and the large into sight
for the week had some influence on
the decline of the early afternoon.

WARE Il LELAND
Say Market Was steadier Than Was
Anticipated.

Anticipated.
New York, Sept. 9.-In view of the
exceptionally high figures received
from Washington last Friday, the mar
ket this week has ruled steadier than
many anticipated. Upon the receipt
of the monthly report showing a con-
dition of over 81. December went to
the twenties again. During the great
er portion Of the week December had
ruled between 10.35c and 10. 35c, sell
ing at one time as high as 10. 63c, and
as low as 10. Csc during the early trad
ing to-day. There has been a great
deal of short cotton covered this week.
and sentiment has not been sufficient
ly confident on either side of the mar
ket to result in important price
changes. AS compared with the situa-
ton at 81 cents there are unquestion-
ably fewer inducements to play the
long side At 81 cents, the market
was over short and the trade was fac
ing the normal deterioration during Au-
gust as well as the annual boil Wee
vii scarce. 1t was an open question
whether the short interest could stand
bad crop accounts without getting
frightened and running. There was
every inducement to play the side of
higher prices and those who did made
money. Now the market is nearly a
cent pound higher, a large short in
terest has covered and more cotton is
moving every day. Until there is an
abundance of cotton from the new crop
to give shorts some protection, there is
likely to be frequent and sharp up
turns. due simply to fact that stock
of cotton is still very small. Damage
reports from Texas helped to this end,
and until the movement becomes VerV
heavy it is not likely that there will be
anything like an open break i'm prices.
But the condition in other parts of the
cotton belt is regarded as so favorable
that it will be difficult to bring about
any great advance in prices after the
new crop becomes available in large
quantities.
