Especial to News and Observer
New York, June 17.-Estimates of
production for the new crop are al
ready making their appearance.
Based on the report of the Agri
cultural Bureau on June 5th, and
compared with productions of vari-
Gus years, gueSSeS, so far, range from
a minimum of II 100000 bales to q
maximum of IA, 100000.
Since our last circular letter (June
9th) the market has had a decided
advance and has reacted until, at
this writing. the general level is just
about what it was on that date. In
cidental to this reaction there is
decided bearish sentiment, and this
has doubtless established a consider
able short interest.
Evidently these beariSh prOcliVitieS
are not so much a result of the in
huence Of comparative physical con-
ditiOnS as of the transient attitude of
the consuming contingent.
Al the low point of last week it was
clear that SpinnerS and manufacture
ers were interested. This interest
seemed to wane with the advance that
occurred We do not think THAI this
indifference will last, nor do we re-
gard the poor current demand for
; cotton as any evidence that such a
status will be long maintained.
In fact, we confidently believe t
will not be long before they are now
quiescent; and it seems logical to eX-
pect pronounced buying activity ut
any point between 9 and NC.
While this can by no means be con :
sidered q low price with prospect
of II, 100000 bales or more, when i
is compared with the average of the
last nine months, it seems to be Il
level at which demand would be eX-
ceedingly vigorous.
In this connection it may be stated
that at the beginning of 1904 there
were such forecasts as a possible H.
100000 bale crop, etc, etc.
OF course, there may be such n
thing as a decline to a point below
| &C., but we do not expect this for
some time. if at all, and even if it
should materialize it would not alter
our existing conclusions which are to
the effect that a purchase of the new
crop at a range between 8 and 8 RI G.,
with reasonable protection and pa
| tience, will have an opportunity to
realize good profits

CHICAGO, June 23.-The third
aay's session of the Republican ma
Eional convention was called to order
ut 1920 o'clock this morning. AT
I1:04 the roll call for nominations
for president began.
Black Nominates Roosevelt.
Alabama relinquished the honor to
New York and Former Governor
Black of New York proceeded to the
platform, greeted with rousing
cheers.
Wild Demonstration.
Blacks concluding words nominat-
ing President Roosevelt brought the
convention to it's feet. Many hundreds
of people were standing on the floor
and in the gallery, and the cheering
continued for several minutes, the
delegates standing on their seats,
wildly waving flags.
Speaker Cannon advanced to the
front of she platform with an old
battered war flag, which set the
cation marched around the hall,
headed by Governor Black, and fin
ally every state joined in the parade.
All Second Nomination.
Speeches seconding the nomina-
tion of Roosevelt were made by Sen
ator Beveridge of Indiana, Governor
Bradley of Kentucky, Joseph B. Cot
ton of Minnesota, George A. Knight
of California, Harry Stillwell Ed
wards of Georgia and Harry S. Cum
mings, the colored orator of Mary
land.
Roll Call Continues.
At the conclusion of these, the
New Jersey delegation moved to
nominate Roosevelt by acclamation,
but the delegates cried "No" and
the roll call was continued, every
vote in the convention being cast for
the president.
Roosevelt Declared the Nominee.
At 1:1O the roll call was finished
and Roosevelt was declared the nom
inee by Chairman Cannon. Here an
other enthusiastic demonstration en-
sued, which continued until Cannon
raped for order.
No Mystery for President.

statement was wildly cheered.
California Eloquence.

followed Beveridge. His clear voice
rang to the end of the hall, which
was so unusual that a man far back
in the gallery shouted in surprised
tone, mot so loud" which brought
down the house.
No Home for Anarchy.
Knights eloQuence held the con
vention spellbound. His declaration
that anarchy could find no home here
was warmly applauded, and at the
conclusion of his speech the Califor-

DoIIiver Takes Platform.


With order restored again after
Roosevelt had been declared nomi-
mated, the roll call for the nomina-
tion of vice-president was COM
menced. Alabama yielded to Iowa
and Senator Dolliver took the plat
form to place in nomination the
name of Senator Fairbanks of Indi-
ana.
The Silent Indianian.
In his characteristic spread-eagle
style, Senator Dolliver placed Sena-
tor Fairbanks in nomination He
paid a glowing tribute to the policies
of the Republican party and to the
leaders responsible for the exposition
of those policies. Gradually and
adroitly he led up to a eulogy of the
silent Indianian. Delivers perora-
tion was in the following words:
Has Not Sought the Position.
"While he has not sought to con-
strain the judgment of the conven-
tion, directly or indirectly, he has
kept himself free from an affectation
which would undervalue the dignity
of the second highest Office within
the gift of the American people, and
| do not doubt that his heart has
been touched by the voluntary ex-
preston of universal good will which
has already chosen him as one of the
standard bearers of the Republican
party.
"The Office has sought the man,
and he will bring to the Office the
commanding personality of a states
man, equal to any of the great re-
sponsibilities which belong to our
public affairs
A Tower of Strength.
'He is a leader of the senate, and
has been the champion of all the
great policies which constitute the
invincible record of the Republican
party during the last ten years. His
name will become a tower of
strength to our cause, not only in his
own state, but everywhere through
out the country. The entire business
community has shared the confidence
which his political associates have
reposed in him from the beginning
of his public life, and no dissenting
voice, here or anywhere, has been
raised against the anticipated action
of this convention in presenting to
the national Republican party the
name of Senator Fairbanks of Indi-
ana.
Fairbanks Named.
81 take pleasure in presenting this
name, honored everywhere through
out the United States, as our candi-
date for vice-president."
Depew for Fairbanks.
At the close of Delivers epeech a
demonstration followed equally as
enthusiastic as that which came
when Roosevelt was nominated. Sec
onding speeches were made by SEN
ators Depew, Foraker and Carter and
Governor Pennypacker of Pennsyl-
vania.
