Ware q LeIand's Market Letter.

The present market seems to have al
ternate days of strength and weakness.
This is accounted for by the fact that
there is so much cotton for sales on every
sharp rise, that prices sag off following
each advance and on the decline, profess
SIGNALS sell only to find themselves short
and the larger interests give turn of
the screws To have the advance re-
peated.
For some time the market has been
a trading one. within 80 points limit.
Everything depends on the intention OF
the larger operators next week. They may
conclude to keep the market within these
same limits or again, buying orders may
be put in the market and the May option
advanced once more
There was more attention paid to the
new crop today and prices advanced more
in October than in July.
Fear of rains over Sunday caused an
advance in these months. In general, the
market showed no change and with
satisfactory weather map on Monday
there win unquestionably be considerable
cotton for sale on the next advance

Instead of an expected decline of l to :
points in Liverpool. that market closed at
an advance of about points, with sales
of about 5000 bales Receipts are estimated
today at 15,0o0 versus 21,00o. The visible
supply statement was evidently con-
strued as bullish, or rather more bullish
than expected by Liverpool, which was
doubtless the incentive for the high mar
ket in that quarter The opening ON this
side was at an advance of Il to IA points,
but with this advance there was nothing
else doing in the market the balance
of the day. The changes We're narrow and
fluctuations slow The market was steady,
however, Notwithstanding the dullness,
and as it is now stated that the bull
leader is to issue another bullish circular
Monday, and as Liverpool will doubtless
get the gist of this circular before their
opening, it is probable that we will get
further encouragement from that quarter
Monday morning.
The bank statement was unfavorable,
and there was II slight recession in
stocks on the close. We would not be
surprised to see stocks sell some lower,
but would not stay on the short side too
long

and all the world knows that II the

"And a practicable liberty is what
the American flag means wherever 1t

millions Of dollars today and hundreds

important. But Cuban trade Is nothing
to the American people compared with
the realization of those American
ideals of liberty, to preserve and

cUMMINs, ADDRESS.

In this issue the Co rr1er gives space
to the full address of Governor A. b.
Cummins delivered at Churdan as the
opening Of his campaign, which will
be followed by discussions of the Is
sues by the candidates in every section
of the state.
Considerable of his address is d.
rected as an answer to the charges
of not being in harmony with the re-
publican party on the tariff and the
management of state affairs, both as
they relate to the people and to the
railroads, as made by Hon. Claude r.
Porter, the democratic candidate for
governor.
He quotes literally from his own
speeches made in various parts Of the
country upon various occasions, espe-
cially from the ones that are under
the shadow of disapproval, or covered
by a fog as the governor terms it.
AS to the tariff he says that he does
not retract any Of his assaults on the
Dingley law and indicates that he has
not removed from his position as ex-
pressed in the past.

iowANs SUCCEED HIT.

The removal from congress of Rob
ert R. Hit, who died last week, gives
position to two comparatively young
men, both natives of Iowa and one
still resident Succeeding Congress
man Hit in the Thirteenth Illinois
district is Colonel Frank o. Lowden,
a Hardin county boy who was gradu-
'ated at the state university Of Iowa,
and succeeding the veteran public SER
want as chairman of the house commit
tee on foreign relations is Robert G..
Cousins, of the Fifth Iowa district. Sin
gular, as 1t may seem, they reside less
than hundred miles apart, and Clin-
their districts.
In his work as public official Con
gresham Hit has been an able and
faithful servant of the people, but both
of these men younger in years, who
succeed him, have had the benefit OF
his wise counsel, and his work will be
taken up where he left it. Colonel
Lowden and Congressman Hit had
been faithful friends, and when Mr..
Hit concluded that he would not
stand for reelection, one of the first
men, If not the first, notified of his in.
tention, was the man who is now about
to succeed him, and it is conceded
that Colonel Lowden is the man upon
whom the veteran desired to have his
mantle fall.
Congressman Cousins has for years
been associated with Mr.. Hit in the
committee on foreign relations, and
has been faithful student of the sub
ject under an equally faithful leader
He has been recognized as worthy
successor Of the man who was chosen
for the place on account of his es
pecial fitness because of his relations
and studies of other countries in the
American legations of some of them
So, while the work of Congressman
Hit is to be divided between two
others upon his removal, the charac
ter and ability Of them Is enough tt

END OF BASE BALL SEASON..

League base ball for the season Of
1906 is over in Ottumwa. 1t has not
been all that had been hoped for, but
the ups and downs in sports are as
prominent, If not more so, as in any
other occupation. The star of today is
the has been Of tomorrow, and the
town that leads today is the trailer to-
morrow.
Pennant winning Is not all there is to
the game. In fact there are base ball
men who would rather not have the
rag, in consideration of the future of
the sport in their town With high
grade team one year the interest is
liable to lag in the season following
unless the pace is KEEP. up. However,
it is not the pleasantest thing to be
bringing up the rear all of the season.
The Chicago National league team
has won the first pennant for that city
since the days OF their champions
twenty years ago. but the game has
been a good one there all of the time
In winning the pennant Of the Three
Eye league Cedar Rapids makes the
sixth team of champions, no city in the
circuit having taken the pennant twice.
