seems a rather foolhardy operation to
take aboard a large quantity of cotton
under the present crop prospects and
the general trade surroundings. We
don't say that the position may not
be corrected, made so by serious dam
age that is not in prospect, but to
assume this attitude at the moment
may prove a losing experiment. You
will recall the Sully operation of last
September. when that operator lost
something like S750.O00 in an effort to
boost an unwilling market at this sea
son of the year. He had the help Of
many bulls. and the crop condition IL
points lower than now reported. The
market is too narrow to permit much
of an advance without a change in

In the futures markets the feature
of the day was the steadiness Of prices

weather news, and the recent report of
the Department OF Agriculture, show
ing the present condition of the crop
to be the best in fifteen years, with
one exception. Liverpool closed to

was attracted to the fact that con-
soldated stocks are now below the 100.-
600 mark, and therefore less than one
half the size they were at the same
period last year.

SOME PROPOSED TARIFF BILLS
Several of Them Introduced in the House
During Session of Fifty Three
Minutes.

Washington, Dec 6. - There was
the usual Introduction of bills i'm the
house at the opening of the sessions,
the most important of them being for
revision Of the tariff in some way.
Spalding, of North Dakota. presented
one for a commission of nile persons
to consider the subject at length and
recommend changes in the tariff. Ford
ney of Michigan presented a similar
bill.
Lowering of Massachusetts had three
bills. One was for drawback on ar
ticleS consumed on vessels clearing
from United States ports for foreign
countries; another for a drawback on
imported articles used as an insepara-
BILE part of articles produced here; and
the third for a drawback of the duty
paid on coverings of imported articles
where such coverings are used for the
same purpose for articles produced
here. ssC @
Baker of New York introduced a bill
denouncing the tariff as a fraud where
the article taxed can be produced
cheaper here than elsewhere, and es-
pecially aimed at the tariff on steel
rails.
The house was in session fifty three
minutes.

After waiting until his conscience

After waiting until his conscien &c
nearly burned a hold through his
vest, Isaac Stephenson, the half
breed millionaire lumberman of
Marinette has published a letter
in which he declares that the report
chat he contributed $22, OOOto elect
John G. Spooner to the Senate in
1885 is utterly false, and is cal
culated to do injustice to Senator
Spooner. This explanation is very
proper, but it should have been put
forth two months ago, when the
partisans of Gov. LaFollette were
making every possible effort to de-
stroy the good name of Senator
Spooner throughout the state. Mr..
Stephenson was misadvised when
he was requested by those who pro-
fessed to be his best friends to de-
lay the explanation until after the
election.
