ORGANIZED PARTIES
 AGAIN IN SADDLE Profit Taking is Still Much in
 Evidence SOUTHARN GROUP ACTIVE Hill Group Is Made the Subject of Revived Rumors of "MeIon Cut tingH and of Absorption of
 Lines to the Gulf.
S0UTHARN GROUP ACTIVE

New York, January h h-There was evil dence again today of Ne resumption of activity by organized parties in the spec ulation' of the kind which conducted to the aggressive advance up to the first of the year, and which has been supposed to control the market in the interest of the recent profft-taking That proft-tal1- ing was still in evidence today, but its eff feet on prices was not so general as that of yesterday.
 The average level of the market rose above that of yesterday and gains in special stocks were pronounced. The vol ume of dealings expanded materially. There was little in the days occurrences of news to explain the movement. The joining in the upward movement of some of the more substantial influential stocks was effective on sentiment. A good effect was produced also by the developments in the money market. Immediate condi- tions diverged from the gold export point. Sterling exchange moved upward at Paris again, thus relieving the pressure of New York from that source. Foreign political sentiment was more powerful, and relief WAS felt that the Bank of England re- trained from advancing the official dis count rate. The weekly report of that in- stitution, however, showed but a meagre recuperation from the depleted reserve condition of last week, such improve ments as there were being principally due

to the $26,0O0, 900 loan contraction. This brings the proposition of the reserve lia- bilities up to 33.50, compared with 29.s7 per cent last week but against the ratio of 44.5O per cent this week last year. The Bank of England lost about S1,oOOoOo to- day which was withdrawn for shipment to South America. It is believed, there- fore, that the bank Is preparing to get control of the money market so as to make an advance in its rate effective be- fore resorting to that measure. Forelgn bankers here continue to expect an outgo of gold later owing to the heavy ophea- tions to foreign lenders falling due with in the next few weeks. Sterling exchange here was easier today, but shows some re- newed selling of bankers bills for the use of foreign funds. Sub-treasury operations have contributed to the money market already this week $S,013000, and there was another heavy debit at the clearing house by the sub-treasury this afternoon, due to payments by the government on ac- count of transportation of the mall. There was paid also $50O,00O by that institution on telegraphic transfer from San Fran cisco
 The easing of the foreign exchange rate was the more notable in the face of this replenishment of the local money market as the easing of the money rate here was expected 10 1dc1lIdle HI out6O ol Bolh.
 The stocks which made up the features of the days market were mixed list of high grade seasoned dividend payers amongst railroads. and of low priced stocks paying small dividends or none at all both amongst railroads and industrials, some of the industrial stocks running into decidedly low grade There was a wide intervening gap in the list amongst the average market leaders, and these were sluggish and rather neglected throughout. The renewed advance in Union Pacific to a record level was the most effective sustaining influence in the market. h. creased dividend expectations were the factors. The Hill group was made the subject of revived rumors of melon cutting" and of absorption of connecting lines to the gulf. These rumors appor- tioned the Missouri, Kansas and Texas system to Burlington, and the Kansas City Southern to St. Paul. The movement in the lower grade stocks was accom- panied in some cases by citations of i'm proved earnings to warrant expectations of dividends. The southern iron group responded to revived merger rumors The market took on great animation late in the day, and many favorites amongst low grade stocks were rushed into prominence and Amalgamated Copper threw off its earlier restraint but the character of the market was not essentially changed. The closing was generally strong, but there were some irregular spots on realizing

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, January 11.--There was a good demand for spot cotton at full board prices; sales $500 bales, including 2650 to arrive and 300 f. o. b.; delivered on con- tracts, 1000. Quotations unchanged; mid- ding II 9-16.
 Futures opened ? to points up on fla vorable Liverpool. The initial prices were the best of the day For a long time the market hung around 11S0 for March, but towards noon there was sudden drop that carried prices down to 11.62 for March or about IS points down from the high est levels. and 12 points lower than yes terday's closing. It is hard to say just what caused the drop, but good deal of the selling looked as if it came from traders who were going short The de- cline was all the more unexpected be- cause of the favorable attitude of Liver pool where spot trading was increased to respectfully large dimensions amounting to 12,0O0 bales. The market closed quiet at the bottom with net losses of 12 to IS points.

CHAIRMAN TO ISSUE CALL.
Territorial Republican Committee to
Begin It's CAMPAIGN,

Guthrie, Okla, August 3l.-Charles
H. Filson, territorial secretary and
chairan of the territorial republican
committee, announced today that he
will call a session of the convention in
the near future to make arrangements
for the constitutional convention cam
paign. In all probability the commit
tee will recommend a platform on
which the candidates for the conven-
tiotn will stand, taking as a basis the
platform drawn by Chief Justice Bur
ford and adopted here by the first dis
trict congressional convention and
merging with it the briefer platform
adopted by the second district repub-
licans at Geary. The committee will
also devise means of raising campaign
funds and will locate permanent head
quarters.
In the meantime Mr.. Filson advises
that each constitutional district or
ganize Immediately and prepare for
its own campaign. By active work he
believes the republicans will have a
majority in the convention despite the
fact that the county seat fights in In
dian Territory will be source OF dan
ger to the republicans. Mr.. Fi'son,
however believes the majority obtained
in Oklahoma Territory will offset any
element of danger of this kind in the
eastern half of the new state.
