Salem, Jan. "a. -- OF the "a bills
passed by the hosue today only one en-

referred from that branch to the vari-

the afternoon on committee work.
Half dozen bills have been intro
duced at this session for the creation OF
q mining bureau, but it is doubtful
whether any OF them will become laws.
The creation OF Lewis and Clark
county is a new proposal before the
Legislature. The new county is to be
the northern half OF Grant, except a
narrow strip along the eastern side,
and make Long Greek the county seat.
The intention is TO eventually take in
strip Of Baker also.

Stocks and Bonds.

New York. Nov. S.-Reading con-
tinued its surprising advance in the
market today while practically every
thing else went lower. The volume
of the market underwent a considera-
bic expansion. but this was largely
attributable to the enormous dealings
i'm Reading, which had the market to
itself for long periods. The rela-
ton between the rise in Reading and
the weakness in the rest of the mar
ket was puzzling. An upward squirt
in Reading usually preceded the free
selling movements CT the day else
where.
Taking The election results as a
whole there was no disposition to dis
Germ anything conducive to corpora
tion advantage or privilege in the
spirit of the decorate. The course
of events during the day emphasized
the influence of the money outlook
and gave it a dominant effect in the
latter trading. The banks are clear
ly sustaining further heavy cash losses
out of the meagre surplus reserve
shown by Saturdays bank statement.
The outgo from the banks since that
statement on sub-Treasury opera
tons alone, amounts to $2,157, 900.
This would be more than sufficient to
wipe out the surplus as it stood on
SATURDAY.. Inc rise In the call money
rate to the maximum of the year at
IL per cent, and the movement TO
reduce the credit obligations by liqui-
dation of stocks therefore were not
surprising. Neither was the check t.
the pressure for withdrawal of gold
for EXPORT from New York to be
wondered at in view of the urgent
need for funds developed here. The
f,re'cn exchange market, however.
showed no yielding tendency, although
il did not advance. Besides Reading
there were some other points OF
strength mostly amongst industrial
specialties, the iron and other stee'
stocks figuring largely in the showing,
These movements were attributed
more to professional operations than
to any large general demand The
decline gained cumulative force In
the latter part of the day ana the
closing was active and weak at the
lowest prices of the day. The spe-
cial weakness of Missouri Pacific was
attributed to the poor comparison Oh
earnings with last year. The leader

ssumeS a crop of under 1900. 900
bales involves the assumption that the
resent crop has been more rapidly
picked, marketed and harvested. than
N any year since 1896. That this
hould be the case in view of the ur-
yency with which farmers have been
advised by the Southern Cotton Asso-
riatiOn to hold their cotton is, in my
opinion, absurd, and l therefore now
regard il as certain as any statistical
proposition can be that the cotton pro-
1uction of the present season is II

be added in order to arrive at the COM

1t is interesting to note that the

one per cent, while the entire def
cheney as compared with last year is
in Arkansas. Indian Territory. Louis
lana. Mississippi and Texas. and is
now SO per cent. as compared with Al
per cent. on the 18th of October.
1t is a fair deduction from today s
report, in my opinion, that the crop
in Georgia, South Carolina, and North
Carolina is at least as large, if not
larger than last year; and that the
production in the Atlantic States will
fully equal that of last year.
The shortage in the crop, as ] have
claimed all along, is confined mainly
to North Texas, and the contiguous In
1ian Territory, Mississippi. Louisiana,
and Arkansas. In South Texas, the
crop is undoubtedly in excess of last
year. North Texas and the other
States named produced last year about
6, 900. 900 bales of cotton. If we allow
A shortage of even 33 per cent. in
their yield which / think unduly
large, and as matter of conservatism
add a further shortage of 10000
bales which | do not think exists, in
the other States, we have still a crop
of practically 11,250.000 bales, and |
am inclined to believe that this will
be found rather under than in excess
Of the final outturn.
My friends. the short crop theorists
will, | fear be somewhat chagrined to
note that in Georgia and South Caro-
lima, the amount ginned up to Novem-
Der 1st actually exceeds their estimates
Of the entire seasons production for
these States this being especially true
in the case of Mr.. J. G. Dictz. who for
Messrs. w. G. Craft and Company. of
Vicksburg. estimates the total crop in
Georgia. South Carolina and Louisiana
at 2.019.0 900 bales, whereas there have
been actually ginned up to the LIST OF
November in these States 2,124, 00U
bales.
