With Richmond.
A special from WINCHESTER savs:


THE receipts of a citv are regarded
as fair criterion by which to judge
its growth. The total receipts for the
last three wears of the Winchester
postofiice are as follows:
1914 .S9.56l
1870 .lO,Ol2
1906 IA 626
This shows an increase Of the re-
CENTS Of 1908 over 1904 Of s451, and Of
1905 over 1905 Of 81 6l4 or gain OF rs
per cent TOR the last year.
ain connection with this. and apropos
OF The Hersld's statement YESTERDAY
about the population of Lexington. it
is found by counting the honses and
allowing six persons for each house,
that the population of Winchester
would be something over $4,000. The
Gas companv's promoters last year
counted the houses when contemplate
ING the piping of gas here, and fonud
about 1000 houses then Many new
homes have been built which probably
brings the number up to 100"
This rapid growth of our sister city
is powerful tribute to the hus-
thing, np-to-date character of her bnsi-
ness men. who, through their CONNER
cial Club, have put Winchester in the
very front rank Of Kentucky's growing
cities. II will interest our citizens
here to know that our vigilant city
assessor, Mr.. G. w II. Deatherage is
engaged in taking a biennial census of
Richmond, the result Of which will be
impatienDy awaited.

Chicago. Aug. 20.-Reports of damage to the spring sown wheat crop caused strength today In the local wheat market At the
 close wheat for September delivery was up % ole. Corn was unchanged. Oats were up hc Provisions were 5c up to 12l4c higher.
 Strength in the wheat market develop ed after trading was well under way Ear ly fin the session sentiment was quite bear ish because of lower cables. fair weather in the United States and an increase in the worlds movement. Pit traders were the principal sellers during the first hour. To- ward the middle of the session some bullish despatches were received telling of damage to wheat in the Northwest. One report estimated that the yield of spring wheat would be reduced five to ten bushels per acre because of excessive heat. These advices started lively bidding by shorts but the demand met with only small offer ings The result was rapid advance in prices. The change in sentiment was aid ed by an advance of 1sc to lc in the price of cash wheat at Kansas City which was due largely. it was said to smaller receipts. Another feature that favored the bulls was a reduction of 20 per cent. in primary re- ceipts compared with those of the corre- spending day one year ago, total arrivals today being s50.0o0 bushels. against Looo-

Cotton Letter.

(By private wire to Loveman & Co.,,
 36 Commerce Streetl
 New Orleans, Aug. 20.-Today, after as s,sI and when nearly all the ring crowd thought that the market was going lower, prices stiffened up. and a fair-sized reaction took place before
 when the market broke below 9 shorts covered, and there was a limit ed amount of new buying, all of which served to bring the market back to the cent level. The additional ad- vance later in the day was due to be- crop news, wired in from North Texas and some other sections of the belt, deterioration being claimed.
 Todays reaction was to be expect ed. as It was overdue, to a close op. server of the situation 1t was appar- oversold when December contracts went below cents. We strongly ad- wise our friends on the bear side to take profits in the neighborhood of S.90 for December as we saw unmis- takable signs of the short interest be- was relieved to a large extent by the subsequent rally. Reports of deterIo- ration are becoming more general and should spell of wet weather set in there would be news a plenty to bull the market on. There is still a large good footing for the market to climb up to higher level than that reached today We are or the opinion that the reaction will go further yet ana, hence, we think that caution on the short side should be observed until bullish ammunition shall have been exhausted Yours truly,
 Loveman & Company.

Texas and showery weather and nor nal temperatures in the belt are looked upon as an assurance TOT q bumper crop, and being under the ef- feet of such Illusions, shorts are un- derwriting future contracts under the most favorable terms u the spinner. The plus correction of 10000 bales re- ported in receipts and shipments at St Louis on Saturday will add noth- ing to the visible supply. the cotton having passed Into the hands or spin nsrs already. but It will add to tne now points to about 11,150,000 bales, and spinners takings since Septcmper i, will be augmented to the same ex-. ures for the past year. the more bull ish argument does 1t become, as 1t will show in a most convincing way the necessity of larger ap. orop thap pzo was Ses bales, or perhaps, If large inroads have been made on mil reserves Of last year, as much k500,O00 more possible that if trade rhould be better than last season, even a larger crop will be required Therefore. there IS the need of crop of 12.5Oo.0oo of
 Prior to 1904 the south had not raised crop larger than 1l,275,o0o bales and that was grown in 1898 be- in Texas and Louisiana, and while 1t is true that yield of 13,697 900 ales was made two years ago. 1t was not because Texas made a big crop. fo- the yield in that State was only a moderate one, the acreage for the whole belt figuring aboN 3.000,000 acres larger than this year according to the government report, 3,730.000 acres against 2s.6s6.000 this year. but was due in great measure to the fine crops in the Mississippi Wiley and in the South Atlantic States. which is not the case this year in the eastern belt.
 There are those who contcad that the acreage this year Is as big as 1t was two years ago, the government estimate notwithstanding. and since the crop outlook Is as promising as 1t look for as as biz crop m ssu as was asu grown m two years ago, and on these lines many are at work.

 Recent Oregon Election.
 In Oregon at the June election 36,- 300 votes were cast in favor of an amendment to the State Constitution permitting woman's suffrage. as is the law in the neighboring States of Ida. ho, Wyoming and Utah. The proposi- ton was defeated, but not so badly that its advocates despair of, future success at the polls. They point out the fact that nine counties of Oregon gave a majority for the woman's suf- frage amendment and that these are the ones in which native American electors predominate.
 In Mulnomah county, which includes the city of Portland, and fin which sO.- 900 of the 65,00O foreign born inhabi- tants of Oregon reside, the majority against the amendment was more than 4.000, while Curry county, which has only 200 foreign born inhabitants out of total population of 5000 was car- ried by the suferagists.
 In June, 19U0, six years ago. the same proposition as to equal suffrage was voted on in Oregon. At that time it received the support of 28,2e5 voters, and gain of 10000 supporters In sib years Is declared to be encouraging.
