NEXT PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES
Special to the Herald.

Special TO the Herald.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 26.-With-
in easy range of the White House
this evening, William J. Bryan will be
hailed by democratic leaders gather
ed from all parts of the country as
the next president of the United
States. The occasion will be a ban
quet given at the Hotel Raleigh in
Mr. Bryan's honor by the Bryan Club
of Washington. Covers will be laid
for 500 guests.
1t is not expected that Mr.. Bryan
will have anything new or startling to
add to the announcement already
made in regard to his attitude on the
presidential nomination. Neverthe-
less the affair is attracting much at
tention among the political leaders of
both parties and the speeches are
awaited with keen interest. Probably
the most interesting feature of the
banquet will be the attendance. The
list of invited guests includes practi-
cally every democratic leader of prom
-fnence in the country. Many of these,
including some of the most prominent
democrats in the country, declined
the invitation. A number of others Of
equal prominence have signified their
intention to be present, and their ac-
ceptance of the invitation is naturally
regarded as evidence of their willing
ness to support Mr.. Bryan for the
presidential nomination

SPINHERS
BUYING FOR EXPORT
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
New York. Nov. 2G.-With the gen
eral improvement of the financial sit
uation. the easing Of money rates and
the gradual return to normal curren-
cy conditions, there is a marked in
crease in cotton demand for export.
The Southern growers still possess
the key to the situation through the
strength of their holding movement,
and they have good reason for salts
faction at the result of their refusal
to yield to the arguments and blan-
dishments of Theodore H. Price. lead
or of the bear forces, who wanted to
disrupt the holding movement so that
the big short interest in the December
option could break the price Of the
staple in order to cover it's contracts
for delivery. Now that the grim de-
termination Of the growers, to hold
their crop for just prices. is apparent
to all, the position of the December
shorts is fast becoming unbearable.
Price and his associates on the
short side have been arguing that the
prices on the New York contract have
been unduly inflated Yet the repre-
sentatives of European spinners are
steadily absorbing spot cotton in the
Southern market at prices averaging
some so points above the New York
contract price. The activity Of these
European interests has given rise to
a quite general belief here that the
foreign spinners will get their stock
cheaper than the American manufac-
turers who have been holding alOof
from the market for some time. large
ly on the advice of the Price inter
ests. in the hope of compelling the
growers to sell at lower prices
In fact, many look for repetition
of the history of the Sully year when
the European spinners got into the
market first, bought up all the avail
able supply at the lowest prices, and
left the American manufacturers, who
had delayed purchasing, to shift for
themselves at the end when they had
to buy their stock of raw material at
prices very much above those paid
by the foreign interests. Most of the
American spinners now are waiting
for the issuance Of the government |
crop report in December before stock |
ing up. although there is no doubt of |
their ability to secure any needed &C. !
from their banks at |
the present time. It is this that has |
given the European buyers the oppor-
tunity Of which they now are taking |
S6yBptage. and-it,j is this that promises,
to cause a belated scramble for cot !
ton. on the part of the American spin
ners, when the crop report appears
and it is found the markets have been |
denuded by the export buyers.
Owing TO the low price Of contracts
in New York, as compared with the
Southern spot prices. the local ware
houses are being depleted rapidly.
On November l the New York ware
house stock was 12S. 264 bales and the
certificated stock was 124,515 bales.
Against this. on November p the
warehouse stock was III, 1854 bales
and the certificated stock was 1885,
D31 bales.
