 LETTER.

Managers; Phone 73S.) New Orleans, March S.-It was an ex-
 tremeiy dull session on the Cotton Ex- ket was rivalled by its steadiness. In the face of a sensationally heavy movement and
 in the face of by no means reassuring re- ports from the country concerning the re- duction of acreage and the continued pick ing and ginning of cotton. the bulls found 1t extremely easy to put up prices. The Wednesday boom fin the Liverpool market was lacking but the bulls in New York who have been casting sheeps eyes at May nevertheless still eontinued to dominate the situation. It rumored that Price was preparing to do some awful things to this bull crowd, but, for the mo- ment. the longs seemed secure In their po- sition. But one feature really favored them was shown the weather map and the Forecast predicted rain. snow and cold weather for tonight and tomorrow. The market opened quiet but steady with prices from two points decline to points advance when compared with the closing of Monday. The market was dull through out the remainder of the day and the vol ume of trade was limited
 At all times the supply of contracts was limited, while the demand was out of pro- portion to offerings and prices showed a slow but steady advance in the trading up to l o'clock. At that time the active po- sitions were s@s points higher than the If the trading was featureless statistics were not. Besides chronicling an extremely heavy movement which pointed to into sight statement for the week of about 205,- 900 bales, the boards said that yesterday Japan took 17.911 bales of cotton and to- day 9s57 bales, making a total of 27,S5e bales in two days and bringing the total takings since Sept 1st up to 14s,916 bales. These are large takings for Japan. in war or in peace
 The spot market was quiet but it had as good an undertone did the future mar ket Up to noon sales amounted to about 5000 bales and prices were firm and 1-16c higher than on Monday.

c. E. PIERCE & CO.'S COTTON LETTER

Nby frlVate Wlr6 rom GlDert & Clay.) New Orleans. March S.-The Liverpool market Is devoid of interesting features The smaller spot sales at a slight decline have created the impression that buyers are pretty we'll filled up for the present and some cables for that reason hold rather un- favorable views of the future course of prices Options closed 2@S points higher as result ot the days trading.
 No very extended section of the belt ap- pears to have escaped rains yesterday, the precipitation being heaviest in the western | ising. Ideas that another bad spell of weather may be ahead suggested sufficient buying to cause a steady opening. Later in sympathy with the New York market, where there apparently is some manipulation in the near future months in progess, higher prices were observed. Port receipts were again sweIed by the arrival on the Pacific coast of about 10000 bales destined for Japan, which country has taken nearly 28.- 900 bales in the last two days. The receipts at leading interior towns and estimates for New Orleans. Galveston and Houston for to-
 morrow both tend to show a very free movement
 The market is lethargical in the extreme
 and slow to respond to the usual influences There Is little question of the excellence of business being done by mills and 1t Is gen. l orally believed that they will be good buy CTS before long; at the same time it Is not probable that prices will be advanced ma- terially. offerings become liberal as soon as higher values be realized

Letter of Expert Randolph Fore

He Has Recently Returned
From the Isthmus.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The 18TH
milan canal commission has made pub
lie letter written by Isham Ran
dolph, member of the board of con-
sulting engineers of the Panama canal,
to Zina r. Carter, president of the
sanitary district of Chicago, which en-
bodies the views of Mr.. Randolph con-
corning canal matters
He has recently returned from visit
to Panama with other members of the
board, and his opinions are interesting
and in view Of the publication of the
letter by the commission may be con-
sidered semiofficial
In his letter Mr.. Randolph says.
'What we do know is that ii can be
done, that Americans can do it and
that in as short a time as so stu
pendous an undertaking can be put
through. We do know that almost
limitless resources await the demand
of the builders and that the builders
represent the highest grade of Ameri-
can engineering talent, led ON by man
whose record of accomplishment is
but the earnest of the things that he
shall do
"Hence we may reasonably look for
the passage of the great ocean freight
ers from the Caribbean to the Pacific
before our calendars are headed 1915.
How much before, this deponent say
eth not This is~no easy triumph for
the builders who must contend with
and overcome difficulties not encoun-
tered in our temperate zone First
there are climatic difficulties which
my Investigations force me to believe
have been magnified and exaggerated.
The question of proper housing has
been problem, but its solution is pro-
crossing and it has had to wait upon
lumber which must come from the
states.
'"rhe French left behind them some
$500 buildings, little and big, which
are being made habitable, but many
more must be built to house the thou
sands whose labors are required to ac-
complish the work When the equip
ment is ON hand and the organization
perfected at least $4,000 men will be
required in the various departments of
industry"

the body, which had evidently been in
the water for several weeks. was car
ried downstream by recent floods. The
absence of the head was attributed 10
the action of decomposition.

unconscious on the front porch of their

carried her to house near by, where

A Growing Need.

1t now looks as though the
citizens of Martinsburg will
speedily come to the rescue of
the Fire department. For some
tame this department has been
planning how to increase its
fund so that it could place
itseif upon a sound financial
basis. But it has failed so far
30 formulate such plans. The
Gown council has helped it in
1initely more during the last
few years than previous coun~
Gals have. 1t has about reach>
ed its limit. And now the only
sensible thing the property
owners of tins city can do is to
donate a handsome sum in
order that we can have an ade-
quated fire department; one
that is sorely needed and one
that will be a credit to the city.
We are sure the citizens will do
this; in fact some of the repre-
sentative business men have
already offered their assistance.
Winchester and Hagerstown
have splendid well equipped COM
panies, while we are scarcely
beyond the bucket brigade.
However, in a short while Mar
tinshurg will waken up and
have a fire department that will
be sufficient protection to our
city. The sooner the better.

toIthe record Of the Roosevelt
administration. Every state
convention of the party which
is vet to be held this year will
do the same. The republican
record for championship of the
interests Of the people-of all
the people, democrats and re-
publicans, South and North
is an asset of incalculable value
to every candidate of the party
for every office. local as well as
national. In every state which
votes in 1905 the republican
candidates, stump orators and
newspapers viii probably give
much attention to the issues of
much concern to themselves, in
their own communities. In
most cases they will probably
give more attention to these
matters than the democrats
will like. On the whole, the
republican state governments

publican governments which
they have and are likely to
continue them, Herrick will

perhaps too much to expect
that the republicans will carry

A Timely Utterance.

In recent speech at Akron
Ohio, Secretary Taft, among
other things, said: eff / thought
by speaking for and supporting
Governor Herrick | should be
doing anything for the perpet>
mating of the power of the Cox
machine in Cincinnati, or if |
thought that Governor Herrick
had entered into the corrupt
bargain with Cox, as charged, |
would not be here. And it
will be remembered that Cox
is the republican boss of Cin~
cinnati. However, when decen~
cy and political honor is at
stake Secreretary Taft does not
hesitate to uphold the right III
opposition to bossism in his own
party. 1t seems that a wave of
reform is sweeping across the
entire country, and men hold
ing the highest offices in the
government are not loath to
condemn graft, trickery and
deceit in the most severe Ian,
guage.
Impure methods in politics
should be condemned Just as
quickly as impure methods in
amy other organization. The
sooner the people begin to rea-
lize that it is just as wrong to
lie, deceive, and use unfair
: means in politics as it is in any
other body, the sooner will
municipal, state and national
government become the purer.
When a man is nominated who
AS VIGOROUSLY unfit for the
place we cannot see why a
member of the same political
party is morally bound to sup
port him. Merit should count
for more than party But the
thing is not to allow such a
man to be nominated. There
fore, when occasionally such a
man is at the head of the or.
ganizalion he should unques>
Sionably be turned down, aud
considering that the accusation
az Secretary Taft made against
Boss Cox is true, he made no
mistake in denouncing HIM IN
she most bitter terms.
