Cullman, November 7.--(Special. )-Both of the county tickets in Cullman county will go into the general election tomor- row morning equally confident of the final result, and all have to admit that each ticket has a fighting chance possibly not for full ticket, but a mixed one. Everybody expects Robert I. Burke, nom- inee for probate judge on the democratic ticket to win by a good majority, but the republicans have some show at one or two of the minor offices. Of course they claim everything, and with discomfiting confl- dence, but since the leaders of the demo- crats are Just as confident of success, a warm contest Is the certain result.
 Everv-hing is very quiet today the democ- ats having closed their case so far as any public demonstration Is con cerned, though the leaders are out in the country riding and talking. The repub- licans will hold their third or fourth final rally at Kullman's hall tonight. The weather promises to be very favorable tomorrow and full poll is expected Both parties are expected to poll their full strength,

supply was made up chiefly of ordinary
quality. Demand was poor and prices
weak. The market has been very ir-
regular, attractive cattle selling about
1920 higher during the first half OF
the week, but the Improvement was
lost yesterday, as late demand was ex-
trenlely small.
The car shortage is hurting the
stocker and feeder market. Supplies
on hand are moderately liberal, but
are made up largely OF common and
medium quality. The fact is that 4
number OF loads bought this week for
eastern points We're up TO yesterday N
the yards awaiting cars. and as long
as this condition continues there will
not be much chance for q big trade.
While the war in the east has been
played up as q stimulating factor in
the meat trade, the fact Is that If IT
has had any effect at all on the cattle
market 1t has only been In the Gamer
line. and there Is still complaint that
the consumptive demand for beef Is not
adequate to recent supplies of cattle
except for the limited proportion Of
fully finished high-class beeves, and
these the rank and file OF beef consum-
ers never get any more than chance
to look at.
