week, shows how the people of the
state are made to pay tribute to Hog
town-Topeka. The board asked
for bids on stationery .fot the state
Offices. Four or FIVE bids were hand
ed in, all indentically the same, and
all at prices two or three times what
they ought TO be. The board rejected
all bids, and called for more. The
foxy Topeka dealers again pooled,
and put in identical bids,
but this time increased the
prices about 100 per cent. The
board should call for bids again, and
state that no bids would be received
from any person who was party to
the attempted hold up.

New York Cotton Letter.

Ardmore, |. T, July l9.--Fol

ter by Mcintyre;
There was a resumption of
aggressive operations by the
bull leaders here today and the
market made an advance of near
ly 30 points during the forenoon
with October again going to
Hos. Efforts were made to
rush the market up still further
from that point, but too many
selling orders were encountered
from the same source whence
came so much liquidation yes
terday. In order to force prices
up through the basis of IL Il
for October, the market will be
obliged to take much larger
amounts of long cotton by oper-
ators who bought , or 3 cents
lower and who are now appa-
rently more DESTROYS of securing
their profits than increasing
their holdings, although still
confidently bullish and expect
ing TO see still higher prices
The bull leaders, however, APP
pear TO be working together on
a program and they think if this
market can be held firmly on
this basis a day or two longer
they will succeed IN putting the
market up to the 11.50 basis.
The speculative position has

the speculative position of the
market Is now assuming the
same conditions which prevailed
during the Sully boom.
Under such circumstances it
is impossible to forecast the i'm
mediate future course with any
degree of accuracy. While the
market looks to be strong and
although the bulls will succeed
in forcing prices up to II IA or
