COTTON TRADING
 SOON SAGGED OFF Much Was Offered for Sale
 at Opening AZ TERNOON WAS IRREGULAR Was Enough Covering in the Last Few Moments to Give the Mar
 ket Steady Tone at
 the Close.
AZ TERNOON WAS lRRE GUAR

New York. November 9.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of 3a5 points in response to f1rmer Liver pool cables, and talk of better general demand following the election. But 1t soon became evident that considerable cotton had been bought on the theory of higher prices after election, and this came out on the slight opening bulge, while 1t also appeared that leading Wall street bear interests were hammering the market. Trading at first was fairly active. but as prices sagged off, became less so and the total business for the day was estimated at only about 175,OOo bales.
 Prices touched the highest point or so immediately after the call. and while fluctuations later in the session were more or less irregular, the close was practically at the lowest, or a net decline of 10 F points. There was enough covering by room shorts in the last few minutes to give the market a steady tone at the close. Liverpool eased off after the local opening, and New Orleans also eased off with the local market. and sent sell ing orders here. Wire houses with south eTIl cOnneclonS SOlu on the opening bulge, but were buyers later in the session.
 The weather over the holiday was good and receipts about as expected
 Estimated receipts at the ports today were 5O592 bales, against 6S,599 last week and 65.736 last year For the week, 400, 900 bales against 496,920 last week, and 431,070 last year.

Canton News: The uncertain, in
adequate and unpleasant character of
Mitcbell's wafer supply is a serious
obsticale to her ambition to be the
be the state capital. While it may
be true that aside from water,
Mitchell's drinkables are equal to
those Of any other city, after all,
a plentiful supply Of pure and pal.
atable water is n CT the essentials.
Brer. Nash has just recently COM
menced his support Of Pierre for the
capital. We believed that the News
editor possessed more honesty than
to publish something like the above
when he did not know personally
what he was talking about. Mitch
ellis water supply is adequate for a
town three times the size it is and
there never has been any complaint
OF the shortage OF her water supply
since the new system was estab-
lished. There are three artesian
we'll attached together from which
Mitchell's supply is obtained. So
far as other drinkables is concerned
and the carousing that goes on with
it Mitchell yields the palm 10 her
Missouri river rival.

Bulletin on Macaroni " heat.

The South Dakota Station has just
issued a bulletin on macaronl wheat.
This gives the milling and chemical
characteristics of the wheat and will
be valuable aid to the farmers, mil
lers and others in selecting the best
kinds to grow.
This bulletin gives a history of the
different varieties of macaroni wheat
nov known in the United States.
There are a great many varieties and
some are much better than others.
So far as the tests 90 to date the
Kubanka 5639 is by far the best of
all.
This bulletin gives the milling
characteristics showing the percent
ages Of bran, shorts and -four for all
varieties. All the wheat and all
their different products have been
analysed and a table is given show
ing the PROTEIN and gluten contents
Of each variety. Another important
table shows where the crude PROTEIN
is distributed. This shows that in
the better varieties a larger part Of
it comes out in the -four.
F, The manufacture of macaropi is
also described and the points Of good
macaroni are given so that the pur-
chaser may'know when he is buying
a good product.
A number of recipes are given for
cooking macaroni with other SUBJ
stances such as peanuts, cheese, oys-
tiers. salmon, etc. A recipe for max
ing macaroni bread is also included.
This bulletin will be OF value to all
lovers of macaroni and its products.
1t may be had free by addressing

The members of the South Dakota
Press Association are Struggling back
home from the st. Louis exposition
and they are not a particularly jolly
lot over their experiences. The first
trouble began at Omaha, where the
agent Of the WABASH failed to furnish
the transportation agreed upon with
the association, with the result that
some Of the members had to pay half
fare to st. Louis. The Wabash peo-
pie, it seems, did not stand up to
their agreement with the boys and
the kind words will not be very
plentiful. On reaching st. Louis
they encountered a rain storm that
kept them indoors quite a while and
the experiences with the Inside Inn
were somewhat discomforting. The
managers had arranged to take care
Of the party but when the editors
got there Monday there was no room
to be had, until some Of the leading
officials were induced to intercede.
The editors we're finally taken care
of. After looking over the grounds
they figured that it would be at least
two months before the exposition
was entirly finished.

Johnny Nipple has taken a big
contract on his hands. He las fig
ured out how much it is going to
cost the state for coal if the capital
comes to Mitchell, and urges the
people to leave it at Pierre where
fuel gas is to be supplied free. &C.
cording to Nipples statement.
Well, now when you find those Pierre
fellows Supplying the state with free
gas you can look for the world TO
come to an end. There is no need.of
pleading the poverty Of the state as
to its alleged inability to buy coal.
1t is buying more expensive coal at
Pierre now than it would il the cap
ital was at Mitchell. For hot, ro-
bust capital argument commend US
to the State Register.

FIGURES FOR THE INCREASE.

The position taken by Pierre that
the retention of the capital at that
place, will greatly stimulate emigra-
tion and the value of endowment and
school lands is not borne out by his
tory and the cold facts.
For instance: in 1890, the vote Of
Hughes county was 1913; while ten
years later, during which time the
capital was located at Pierre, the
total votes of Hughes county was
but SIG, a falling off in a decade of
over fifty er.cent, or to be exact,
a loss of S57 votes.
In 1890, Hyde county cast 43s
votes. while in 1890, it cast only 4lo,
a falling off Of 90 votes. Sully county
cast in 1890. $50 votes, while in 1900
but 552; a falling Off of 81 votes; and
for the three counties named tie
loss in ten years was 923 votes, thus
%evidencing that the capital has not
in the past given any evidence to
support the contention OF Pierre
that emigration or values are i'm
proved by its location there.
On the other hand: in 1890, Clay
county cast 1873 votes; while in 1900
she cast 2,437, a gam of 1854 votes.
Union county 10 1890 cast 1880 votes
but in 1900 she cast 1861 votes
Yankton county cast in 1890. 21l5
votes and in 1900 1887 votes, a gain
for the three counties of 1861 votes.
This tells the tale of how popula-
ton increases and how it is moving
toward Pierre. In the three coun-
ties near Pierre a falling off in ten
years Of 923 votes: while in the three
Oldest counties Of the state, where
the population was already thickest,
the increase is 1861 votes.
Verify, figures will not lie, ever if
some people try to make them.

the location of the capital, but
where it can be placed so that ii can
be reached the quickest, and where
the government can conduct its BUSH
ness with the least expense. The
capital should be located where the
bulk Of the business of the state is
carried on, and that is within d
circle OF 100 to $50 miles around
Mitchell. When IN individual wants
to do business he don't go Off to one
corner where there are no people.
but he goes to a place where the
center of population is. Same way
With the stdte-its busin ess can lie
conducted more economically and
cheaper when its. headquarters are
within easy access of its institutions.

Watertown Public Opinion: The
Salem Special, published not far
from Mitchell, says that it is not
for Mitchell for capital. The Mad
ison papers, likewise published but a
short distance from Mitchell. and on
the Milwaukee road at that, are
feminist Mitchell for capital.
The Public Opinion is not so inno-
cent. on these matters as to not I'M
derstand why these papers are not
supporting Mitchell.

Redfield Press: The Worthwhile
journal copies editorially the follow
ing from a Pierre paper. Inieren.
italy it gives Pierre the hardest
stknock'' Of all:
The state owns twenty acres and
a good capitol building at Pierre. Ii
the capital we're removed to Mitchell
it would cost more to buy twenty
acres in the town than it would cost
to build a fire proof building on the
state capital grounds at Pierre.
Mitchell must be a pretty smart
town il twenty acres suitable for q
capital location. would be worth the
cost Of erecting a capitol at Pierre.
The new stone freproof structure at
Mitchell is worth FIVE times the trap
at Pierre. Don't worry about the
cost Of removal, Mitchell will pay all
OF that. Let US locate the capital
with reference to the convenience to
the people.

zeal" Caldwell is n of the hap
piest of individuals that ever walked
the plank IN the state, and the fact
that he is doing editorial work for
Pierre in her capital aspirations
lends evidence to the fact that
"Cal' appreciates the joke out that
way and can take life easy while fin
ishing up his history of South Da-
kota, adding to the last chapter that
the people Of the state removed the
capital from Pierre to Mitchell-and
then his history will be complete. 1t
will be up to date.
