of delegates. it was said that two Of
the nominations for county commission
er were involved IN the Damascus vote.
The county commission is controlled by
the Jones men, II. ". Talbot, Samuel
Riggs, and DR.. Etchison. II is said that
they are anxious that the Damascus
vote be retained. so that they could nom
mate w. ]. Lewis and John .. Clarke.
If, however, the Damascus returns be
thrown out Jacob NJ. Allmutt and Jo-
seph 2. White, Lee men, would be nom
mated. In order that these nominations
should be saved. il was understood that
ihe Jones men would make a special eT-
fort TO have the Damascus returns re-
tafned
1t was evident that feeling is still
running high. There is much discussion
of the advisa bility of throwing out the
Damascus vote wherever the politicians
Congregrate. Groups Of men frequently
collect on the street corners to talk the
matter over. The use of money in the
primaries is a subject Of constant COM
ment, Both sides admit that they used
money, but each holds that the other
used an immense amount,
The people have been fortunate be-
cause they were in a position TO take
the offensive. Early in the campaign
the Jones party charged that Lee was
in league with the liquor interests, and
tried to turn the temperance voters
gainst him.

NEW YORK. Aug. s.-The business at
the opening of the cotton exchange was
only moderately active Liverpool
started much higher than expected, but
by the time of our opening had dropped

Observers thought the bulls were
quietly picking up cotton on every wea k
srot and building up a line for future
use. Several brokers who trade for
Wall Street interests were among the
early buyers. Much selling was profes-
sional, based on lower temperatures in

NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF THE STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK.

The part which tile Steel stocks
played in yesterdays trading is best In
dicated by the fact that six of them
were responsible for $4,000 shares of the
days total of 100000 shares OF the re-
naming $4,000 shares which changed
ownership, IS. 100 were of Reading. 1850
of Erie common, and $500 of Pennsyl-
Vania, total for the three of l57, 500
shares. On the whole. the trading was
much less concentrated in regard TO
the range OF issues than has frequently
been the case this summer, and to this
extent the market may be said to have
been less professional than usual.
Whether by accident or design. the is
sues with which the name of a promi-
nent f1nancier, recently returned from
abroad. are associated were conspicu-
Gus for strength, notably the United
States Steel stocks. Erie and Southern
Railway. The last-named stock was
said in the forenoon TO be under Elanip-
ulation by Western speculative inter
ests, but after the announcement Of the
declaration of full interest payments on
all three CLASSES of Central OF Georgia
incomes, Street seemed 10 think there
was a better bass for the strength Of
all Southern railroad stocks. The Cen
trail OF Georgia has more or less com
munity OF interest with the southern.
which is understood to own large
amount of its income bonds. What the
Street liked best about the episode was
that Ii tended to confirm the now Ia
miliar assertion that the larger banking
interests are in sympathy with the ad-
vance.
The strength OF the minor Steel stocks
was one OF the arguments for higher
prices in the United State Steel issues.
1t was pointed out that United States
Steel preferred, which had paid I per
cent steadily through a period of severe
depression and had ample current earn
ings protecting its yield was selling at
only l04 or los, whereas Tennessee Coal
& Iron, which pays only 4 per cent, was
selling around 50. and SlossSheffeid,
paying per cent. was selling above
80. The income yields of these three
stocks at their present prices are 66
per cent, as per cent and So per cent.
The returns OF all depend upon the same
general conditions, but from the stock
supply of United States Steel issues is
an important factor.
Nest of the gossip arioat in Wall
Street yesterday was decidedly bulIish.
In scme quarters IL was confidently pre-
dtcted that Steel preferred was to go
10 125 on the present movement. BY way
OF Boston there came q story that Mr..
Morgan, on being asked by his friends
whether he thought Steel preferred was
entitled TO sell at a higher price. ra
q > per cent stock at 140'' From the
known earnings of the first half OF 1895.
II is being predicted that the year
earnings will be $40 coo 600, and that
those for 1905 will be not less than Sl25,-
600. 000.

Up to noon today there were six new
