MARKET FOR COTTON
AFTER AsHARP EARLY BREAK. RULING s* WAS STEADY.
Net Decline of to Points on old Crop and of lS to Is Points on the
 New CroA Months.

New York. Jan. 10--The cotton market was fairly active and after a sharp early break, ruled generally steady. recovering a good part of the loss on active months and closing at a net decline of only sDS points on old crop and of i2 21l5 points new crop months. Sales were estimated .: 600.000 bales.
 The market opened weak at a decline of 7a16 points and quickly increased the loss to matter of 17@2e points on the active months under heavy local bear pressure and heavy liquidation by yesterdays buyers who were discouraged by the very disappointing cables Due to come about 3@4 points high CT, Liverpool was four points lower at the hour of local opening. seeming to place a bearish construction on yesterdays ginners' report. while private cables aisa reported that the South was offering more freely The early break here was also aided by selling cotton was offered being more freely at Southern points. There was considerable bull news in circulation regarding the situa- ton in the cotton goods market however, mills were said to pc buying more freely and after selling at II. 33 for March ar within one point of the low level of Monday and over 30 points down from yesterdays high point. the market rallied covering and Wall Street support. The closing tone was steady. Southern spot markets were gen. erally unchanged to Mc higher and exports again exceeded port receipts.
 Receipts at the ports today 42.s25 bales. against 2S.4S3 last week and 17a.s93 last year. For the week estimated 14a.000 bales against Te9 last week and 179.S93 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 7657 bales against 1T. 006 last year and at Houston 4,109 bales. against 3.23s last year. Flu lures opened easy and closed steady.

As q Whole There is a Continuation

AS WnOle There Is Continuation Of
 Strength.
 Cleveland. Ohio, Jan. 10-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The principal features of the week have been the advances of prices of a number of finished products and the announcement that the United States Steel corporation will make extensive additions to plants. With the excep. tion of slight weakness in bar iron and scrap, the market continues ex- tremely strong. The blast furnace pro. duction of the United States Steel cor poration for 1905 was approximately 10,175,500 tons of pig iron; the pro- auction of ipgots was 11,995, ,00O. The best previous record was in 1902. when 7,975.50O tons of pig iron and 9,745, O0C tons of ingots were produced.
 The improvements decided upon in. clude extensive new construction ana the remodeling of number of plants This will increase the furnace capacity by one million tons, the ingot capacity by 54O,000 tons and the finished metal capacity by 765.OO0 tons.
 The principal items of the improve. meynts are the erection of two new blast furnaces at the Carnegie plant and of ten ffty-ton open hearth fur naces at Homestead. where the struct- ural mill will also remodel and it's pro. auctions largely increased. At Du- quesne, bar mill for rounds up to six inches will be erected.
 Isabella furnace No. 2, which has been idle since the formation of the corporation, will be placed in blast.
 At South Chicago the corporation will erect a new thirty inch universal plate mill and new light rail mill.
 Another blast furnace Is to be added to the Joliet plant. At the Worces- ter plant of the American Steel and Wire Company large additions arc planned for the manufacture of insu- lated wire and cable. The Pennsylvan- la plant of the National Tube Works at McKeesport will be remodeled so as to increase the capacity greatly and large additions will be made at the Pencord plant where the structural mill will be remodeled.

voters than 1t did. and that since 1t
 f, snort in taking them out in 6 lump, no one should hinder the Volun- tary disfranchisement that the com ulative poll tax encourages.
 This writer decides for hlmsef that the State of Alabama and It's counties towns, its social structure and its in, dividual citizens will not De oenentte9 nv the voluntary disfranchisement oI reputable white males of voting age. and that the growing tendency in that direction is likely to be mar natmtbuli 1bat tbe e reasons he gives are not entirely con-
 The first reason he finds is. that from his observation the class or non-potl- tax nayers is not composed exclusive ly of people unfit Gas compared Wltn their neighbors) to handle the palIot' Quite a number of them are uhWoEtnES' feet to be too easily influenced. others are men of fair intelligence ana non esty, who care little about public al, fairs; who are quiet in disposition ana are willing for somebody else to man age anything that has the name pol itlcs' attached to 1t. This last class is the great stay-at-nome elass to 0n Unte on rare occasions and who generally vote their honest convictions regardless or popular clamor. .,.o have shown that the exercise of sunrage py members of the Caucasian race mas tendency to better qualify them tor its exercise. The depreciation Of interest in public affairs that must come through the absence of participation therein will certainly not De uphfting to the citizenship of the State.
 The payment of poll tax as sine ana non to voting Is unobJectionaDie; if is voluntary public. payment. White men. otherwise eligible, should be urg- ed to pay; the mere fact of doing so makes d man feel that he has reached out of his own volition and made soyereign of himself; that oart Of the cares and responsibilities of this gov ernment now rest upon him; that he is not a mere locker on, citizen, but not a sovereign; that he can not look on and charge crime. bad government, and public abuses to the politicians that he and every other qualified elec- tor have an equal share in the hand ling of public affairs.
 This writer Is led to believe that about ffty-flve per cent. of the regis tered voters of Coffee county under for ty-fiye are now self-disfranchised, and that after February 1 per centage will be largely increased unless the. pay ment of poll taxes from now on is un- precedentedly rapid. Such a condition is deplorable. Let the good work or encouraging poll tax payments go on. Let us have no good men voluntarily diSfranchiSed.

Why Urge Poll Tax Payments

 Times without number since poll tax payment became a requisite to voting has this writer been accosted with . rema~k somethink like this; Say. what ma you newspaper people keep hal.-.ering on people to pay their poll ta%-why don't you. let them alone you don't think a fellow who is chump enough to neglect or refuse. to pay ought to vote, do you?" The query has been answered one way and am other, seldom satisfactorily to the questioner
 The. writer stops today and asks why he. with other newspaper workers and patriotic citizens in every walk of lif.' does care if the electorate is limited to those who take care to pay their poll tax. who do 1t promptly. willingly. without Iring rrmind d?
