AnarY at Price.

Letters from the south reflect anger and annoyance towards Theodore Price on account of his bearsh attitude on cot ton. Sneering illusion is frequently made to his circulars and interviews express ing solicitude least the cotton planters lose money holding back their surplus MT. Price is greatly distressed on this account and warns planters of the folly of organized effort to keep supplies off the market. He says that ultimately all such misguided holders will be forced to let go at lower prices.

FLOATING SUPPLY

 Wall Street.
DOUBT ABOUT ROOsEvELT I
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, January 1.-The statement Is frequently heard in Wall street that there are mo stocks for sale'' and this fact is urged by the bulls in support of their theory that prices must go higher. The statement of fact is undoubtedly cor rect. The floating supply of securities is small. That is because the mercan- tilable surplus is in the hands of the wholesalers instead of the public Whole salers have the securities because of the cheap rate at which money can be ob- tained. With money at 9 and 2ls per cent on call, 3 and Sl4 per cent for six months and o2a per cent for nine months wholesalers can make a profit carrying securities. There Is a scalp in 1t for them. If they happen to be in the com mission business and can borrow money at cheap rate and charge their custo- mers per cent there is a scalp In that. 1T they have no customers and are able to borrow money at 21s per cent on se- curities that earn sHa to per cent. they have scalp in that As long as this condition exists the bears have small show.

Seat of Trouble.

The seat of greatest market uneasf- ness today Is the White House at Wash ington. The fear is that the president will not stay hitched. It was with re- luctance that Wall street took up with MT. Roosevelt and bent it's energies to h.s election. The solid interest of Wall street were originally against him They hoped the democrats might nominate strong man, one who could be depended upon. They found in MT. Parker a weak sister and were perforce obliged to turn to MT. Roosevelt. They were given a guarantee that he would not do any, thing to disturb existing conditions They are beginning to doubt the guar antors. Recent statements of those who pretend to represent him have disturb ed the serenity of Wall street more than will be admitted Washington is the only underlying disquietude. But for that there would unquestionably be great bull movement in full play AZ 1t is speculative sentiment Is in doubt and that accounts for the inaction of the stock market
 Among some of MT. Rooseyelt's g friends the comforting theory exists that he is making a very nice play, and that while assuming to be anxious for tariff revision and railroad regulation he is in reality doing a great strategical stunt III oliieI NOIuS that ne IS making the stand patters on tariff believe that he is dead set on revision in order that he may at the proper moment surrender that point to compel legislation against the railroads. In the same breath these people say that the legislation which the president wants, while in the face of 1t against the railroads will in really be for the benefit of the transportation inter- ests in that 1t will save to the stock holders of the companies all the net earnings instead of allowing a return of a part thereof to favored shippers with possible division of illicit rebates with of 1cials. The problem is one of the lvli- est possible interest to Wall street and at the present moment attracts acute at tention.
 Industrial stocks are sensitive to all gossip from Washington bearing on pos sible tariff revision. Hope is strong that the proteetionists may indefinitely stave off revision, and in the Street may be heard all the time honored arguments against attacks on business interests and wages. While admitting that some of the existing schedules need revision the Inquiry invariably forlows "But which industry will you strike first; what divi- sion or corps of the great army of labor will you begin the wage scaling opera- ton on f1rst?" This inquiry is charactnr- ized by protection orators as a sock dolager."

THEIR POSITIONS.
REFUSED TO ACCEPT WAGE SCALE
GIVEN OPTION OF AGREEING TO
PROPOSED SCHEDULE OR
QUITTING WORK.

st. Paul, Aug. Negotiations be-
tween officers of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers and officers Of the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern roads
have ended and lockout OF the union
operators has practically been de-
clared by both roads.
The discharge of Great Northern
operators began Monday night, but 1t
was not until II o'clock Tuesday that
the Northern Pacific operators were
Obliged TO decide whether they would
accept the company's terms or resign.
The only chance Of an amicable ad-
justment of the dispute rests apparent
ly upon the nature Of the reply that
James j. Hill may make to a message
sent to him by President H. b. Perham
of the telegraphers. Mr.. Hill was
asked to decide the questions that
President Perham and Vice President
Newman have been discussing re-
spectively with General Managers II.
J. Horn of the Northern Pacific and F.
Z. Ward Of the Great Northern.
The points In dispute. Mr.. Perham
declares. relate to wages only in the
case of both roads. The question OF
reinstating certain officers of the or
der who were discharged by the North
ern Pacific was set aside in the final
negotiations and did not remain con-
dition upon which the men insisted.
The number Of operators that have
already quit work is uncertain. but Is
said to be $50 on the Great Northern

the electoral college example IN this little
mathematical demonstration, but we repeat
that since popular returns for the state caucus
es are not available, we were compelled to take
something as nearly analogous as possible.
THE ONLY CORRECT WAY.
The only correct way (for the purposes of
this discussion) would be to have state prim
airy, in which every voter cast directly one vote.
Any plan of representation necessarily has inc
qualities one way the other. If the state
were divided into districts which contained ex-
actly 1000 Republicans, and each of those
districts was allowed 4 delegates, the law of av
erages would take care of inequalities. But
the state is not so divided, and never will be.
The only geographical divisions that are some
what equal numerically the legislative dis
tricts and thus we come back to original
position,-and portion of our last weeks art-
Gle that the Journal did not reproduce--that
when Hennepin elects her delegates by wards
or senatorial districts, it will then be time for
the country to consider giving up the delegates
at-large.
