THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened steady at unchanged prices TO a
decline of points and sold off TO net
loss of about 5as points during the early
session under realizing and selling for a
turn based on the continued full receipts

showing of the ginners report and Liver

tenders, but longs seemed to be selling

pected tomorrow. and there was little sign
OF bull support.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS

No change was noted in the condition of
the market as the result of the meeting
today OF the stock exchange. The trading
was slight and unimportant, and did not
reach large proportions.
Some of the common stock of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company sold
for S91k. and then the bid was S9S. An OPP
ton was offered At 10, and also for a short
time at one-eighth Of point less. but the
best bid for It was 39M
Gas stock sold for 5ex and 507t. and fifty
shares were to be had at 60. A bid OF 59h
was made for 100 shares. This was about
the level Of prices on Saturday. In fact.
this stock has shown less Of the influence
Of the recent reaction In the market than
any other on the active list.
During the past week the decline in the
Wall street market represents loss OF
something like six points in tho average
price Of the railroad stocks. The reason
for this condition. In the opinion OF the
Wall Street Journal. does not lie in gen
eral conditions outside Of the high operat-
ing ratio Of railroads. and this would not
be sufficient alone to explain all the de-
cline.
1.-THE serious congestion Of the market
for Investment securities" this authority
adds. presents q more feasible explana-
ton. Bond issues Of 1905 to the extent Of
$1.0O0.G90.000 are still in FIRST hands. The
underwriters OF bonds have paid for the
issues and have them lying on their
shelves, in many cases without q mar
ket. and therefore lacking in essential
quality to make them really good col
lateral.
with tension all around, 1t Is plain to
SEQ that only conservatism arising from
contraction in business will divert funds
used in new enterprises or to meet the Sc
we're exigencies of the market into the
low interest rates and increased safety OF
an old-fashioned bond. The position has
doubtless been materially helped by the
severe liquidation in the stock market.
When prices decline continuously. regard
less Of earning capacity or yield. the in
ference is obvious that securities for
which there is market are being sold to
protect those for which there Is none"

terday, within three doors OF each other,

offices of the Western Union was re-
moved to their new quarters, on Twelfth
street, between Commercial and Duane
streets, adjoining the site OF the new
Weinhard Hotel. The office is fitted up
nicely and it is compliment to the
affable manager, c. W. Lamar. that his
company has placed him in such elegant
quarters. The Western Union, on the
advice of their local manager, who al
ways looks to their interests in this
city, secured a position adjacent to,
what will be, the leading hotel. A,
stragetic position is the aim of a good
general and Lamar secured it. The To-

GOSSIP At The CAPITOL
University Promises to
Supersede All Others in America--Can-
non Has Supporters For Nomination
Water Route is Increasing Tonnage

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.--Following
close on the announcement by Governor
johnson that he would not be a candi.
date for the Democratic nomination for
President, the similar declaration made
this week by Governor Folk, of Mis-.
souri,. at Bristol, Va, is of Importance.
BY elimination, it would seem that the
list of available Democratic candidates
is narrowing down to one. William Jen
nings Bryan. unless Judge Gray OF
Delaware is to be considered. There is
no doubt that party leaders are triile
worried. Although Mr.. Bryan is nearly
as strong with the rank and file OF the
party as he always has been, there is no
doubt but that astute politician, Theo.
dore Roosevelt, has stolen all of the
Nebraskans thunder and has pre-.
empted practically all of his policies for
use in building the Republican platform.
There is little left to the Democracy
Tor use as paramount issue, except the
old familiar tariff question. Forseeng
this, Mr., Roosevelt is shaping things
so that his party will be committed to
a certain amount OF revision of existing
schedules, enough to still the clamor in
some quarters and solidify the party
against the attacks OF Free Traders. 1t
would not be surprising if he devoted
considerable space in his forthcoming
message to this subject, Unless the ad,
makes blunders that the
powerful personality OF Roosevelt
cannot gloss over, it would seem the
dominant party is So well entrenched
that Democratic victory in 1908 is
almost outside the range OF possibility.
