WHEREIN THEY ARE RIGHT.

Judge Parker Is right, and particu-
larly 50 in barking back to the ad-
ministrations Of Grover Cleveland.
Mayor Dunno is certainly right in
wanting the Democratic party to de-
mand the abolition OF the protective
tariff.
Governor La Toilette is right in
warning the legislature against vot-
ing away valuable franchises for wat
er power.
The Milwaukee Journal, rs usual Is
right in demanding new and suiJa-
BILE state capitol, and in protesting
against the enactment Of too many
laws.
Col. Villas, President Van liisc and
others are emmicntly right in asking
for perpetual tax for the support Of
the University

COTTON.

New York, Dec. S.-I present here- with: CD the census report of cotton ginned to the 1st of December, 1905, in bales of actual weight, two round bales being counted as one square bale.
 (2) The census figures as of the first of December converted into bales of 500 pounds gross each at the aver age by States as given by the New Orleans Cotton Exchange for each State. This calculation Is submitted in order to make possible a more in telligent comparison with the figures of the agricultural departments esti- mate of December 4th, which was in bales of 500 pounds gross whereas the census returns are these of actual bales. The actual average weight of the bales up to the first of December as reported by Secretary Hester of the New Orleans Cotton Ex- change was 519.10 making necessary an addition of practically four per cent to the census 6gures in order to arrive at the total quantity ginned up to. the first of December in bales of 500 pounds each.

SHARP BREAK FOLLOWS APPEARANCE
 OF CENSUS REPORT.
Close ts Within . Point or Two of the Low est at Net Decline of 22 to a
 Points for the Dny.

New York. Dec. s.-The cotton market was nervous and unsettled. During the early session prices showed q steady under tone with bull support considerably in evil dence. but following the publication of the census report there was sharp break and the close was within point or two of the lowest at a net decline of 22@27 points. Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
 The opening was steady at an advance of one point to decline of three points. Ca bels were without special feature and trading seemed largely in the way of evening up accounts in preparation for the census re- port at midday which was expected to show about S.50o.000 bales ginned to December l: There was considerable liauidation by old longs who feared that the report would show more cotton ginned in some states than had been allowed for the same states by the recent government crop estimate and with private cables reporting English spin ners better supplied with raw cotton than previously estimated the market gradually sagged off to a net decline of 7@10 points. Wall Street bull support was forthcoming around 10. 20 for March and toward midday the market firmed un to shade the closing prices of yesterday with March quot ed at 1e. 32 just before the census report was issued at o'clock: The report was fol- lowed by active liouidation and while Wall Street bulls supported on a scaiedowu the decline caught stcp loss orders and the market closed easy
