H. & q. Beers Cotton Letter to c. H.
Cothran, MANAGER,

1t is evident that yesterdays census re-
port was about in keeping with expecta-
tons abroad as the Liverpool market
ruled remarkably steady considering the
large crop reported, 100000 bales.
The large spinners takings to date and
the continuance of heavy exports to for
eign shores has brought to the attention
of operators the possibility of the world
requiring about 100000 bales this year
since acceptances by the mills thus far
this season are S,424000 bales against
1902, 900 last year and 7,4S2,000 year before
last. The question at issue, therefore, is
will takings during the balance of the
year equal those of one year ago and of
year before last? We are mindful of tho
fact that, based upon the census report
of yesterday, the amount to come forward
during the balance of this season will
probably be about $4,000 bales less than
last year. on account of the rapidity
which this years yield was marketed
We are also aware of the fact, however,
that there is an excess in the worlds yis-
BILE supply of American when compared
with one year ago, 40S1 900 against 3.424,-
900. which offsets almost to a bale the
deficit to come forward here after as per
deductions from the census report, the
excess in the visible of American being
557, 900 bales.

COTTON ADVANCES
10 TO z POINTS
Opening Steady in Response
to Higher Cables
SOUTHERN SPOTS EASIER
Realizing and Selling for a Turn
Caused Slight Reaction From
the Highest Level-The
Market Firm.
SOUTHERN SPOTS EASIER

New York, March 21.--Today's cotton
market was not particularly active, but
offerings were light and prices ruled well
over the closing figures of the previous
day Close was barely steady at a net
advance of IS to % points. Sales were
estimated at 100000 bales.
The opening was steady at an advance
of to points, in response to higher
cables, covering by some of yesterdays
sellers and a renewal of bull support of
the near months. There did not seem
much outside demand, estimated receipts
for tomorrow were full and the weather
map showed no disquieting features. But
the advance continued until prices were
IA to II points net higher.
Realizing and selling for turn by
some of the room traders caused a re-
action of or points from this level
during the middle session, but the mar
ket frmed up again in the afternoon
and reached a new high point for the
d., on renewed covering and bull sup
port, with May selling at 9.73 and July
at 9.74 or "a to 25 points net higher and
about 20 to % points net higher on
the general list.
Toward the close few points were
lost under realizing and selling for u
turn by some of the local bears, on pri-
vate reports of rather easier southern
spot markets, although these We're by
no means general. AS officially reported
the spot market in the south was un-
changed to 1sc lower, generally I'M
changed.
Private cables from Liverpool reported
a good trade demand and bullish in
depreciation of yesterdays census report.
Receipts at the ports today, 22,900 bales,
against 24,150 last week and 1885 last
year. For the week Estimated 10000
bales, against 1877, 595 last week, and TO-,
452 last year. Today's receipts at New
Orleans, 3697 bales, against 219S last year
and at Houston 1928 bales, against 2997
last year.

SENATOR FULTON.
A Few Things Mentioned in Speech
at Benton School Fair.

For nearly two hours United
States Senator Charles w. Fulton
held the close attention of large
audience at the court house
square, Friday afternoon, while
he discussed many of the live
political and economic topics OF
the day, including tariff revision,
the election of senator by popular
vote, interstate commerce, an
open Willamette river, and other
things.
It is rarely that a Corvallis
audience has the pleasure of list
ening to such distinguished
and interesting speaker as Senator
Fulton and the remark was made
by prominent business man of
a neighboring city that he had
not heard a better address within
the state during his long resi-
dence in Oregon.
Senator Fulton explained his
views on the direct primary,
making his position very clear
indeed and supporting his opin-
ions by strong reasons. Passing
from this subject he made Wig
orous plea for an open William
cite from Portland to Eugene
with free locks at Oregon City,
stating that the improvement of
the waterways would settle the
question of railroad legislation
and do away with the necessity
for a railroad commission. Give
the Willamette Valley an open
river to Eugene that can be navi-
gated all the year round by boats
of three feet dranght, and the
trouble will be disposed of in re-
gard to transportation facilities.
The senator pledged himself to
work at all times to secure an
open river, and the promise was
greeted with warm applause.
In conclusion, after very
thorough discussion on the above
questions, Senator Fulton con-
graduated Corvallis on the ALL
Benton Fair, spoke of its far
reaching effects for good in inter-
esting the young in the practical
things of life, aid made a strong,
earnest plea for the young to lead
clean, pure lives and tor all to
bear in mind their responsibility
as upright citizens of this great
country.

Georgia Minstrels.

When Richards & Pringle's
famous Georgia Minstrels appear
at the opera house next Saturday
night the public will see the
most expensive colored show ever
organized. If any doubt of the
absolute truthfulness of this
statement exists, it will be .or-
ever dispelled when the perform
auce is given.
1t must be confessed now that
there is no doubts in the minds
of the management about their
being able to make the giving
Of SO vast and expensive a show
with any profit, and as a matter
of fact the business ordiuari ly
done by ether shows would not
have been profitable, but it was
immensely profitable, and packee
houses rule everywhere.
The program is a lengthy one,
and made up of great variety.
The street parade at p. m. is a
novelty--wo bands in daily par
