The December Squeeze

The difference of about thirty five
odd points between December and jan
uary contracts continues to hold firm
as it has been for more than a month.
This is a remarkably interesting sit
uation, especially, at this time, indi-
eating a battle royal between the spec
ulators as to December cotton.
The significance Of the situation is
that the bears have out long lines of
December shorts. and the bulls are
standing firm, risking comparatively
small losses as against large prospec-
tive gains.
In other words the bulls have bought
as stated and agreed upon prices. The
bears sold in the expectation that they
would have no trouble delivering at the
prices they agreed to take.
The final limit by which the battle
must be brought to finish is the end
of December; but the crisis may occur
at almost any day, especially if the sit
uation is a bona fide one.
BY bona fide, we mean If the pur-
chases and sales on the New York ex-
change are genuine. There are those
who will hoot at the suggestion Of a
question as to this; but in view OF
many developments of the past, and
especially during a month or so Of the
present season. we have our doubts on
| this score.
But if the exchange transactions are
genuine, there is promise of sensation
al developments during the next month
If the bears are able to deliver the
cotton at the prices at which they have
sold contracts, or even at prices at
which they can now buy contracts
there will be very little rumpus, and
the public will not hear much of unu-
sual losses; but if the longs-the bulls
stand steady and demand the actual
cotton, and the actual cotton is not
forthcoming by the last day of Decem-
Der, then the price may easily go out OF
sight. The bears will have to settle al
the prices fixed by the bulls, up to the
limit at which the southern farmers are
willing to sell.
We are not undertaking to say, of
course, that the New York Cotton EX-
change game is a fair one. 1t is quite
possible that there is a good deal of
bluff in it. and it may be made to ap-
pear that the bears had no trouble in
delivering. In that event the market
the contract market, may break all to
pieces. in accordance with a job pre-
viOusly put up To demOralize the south
eln holding movement.
But as we see it, whether the osten-
sible December squeeze is genuine or
not. and whatever there may be in the
currency stringency, if it is a fact that
the crop of this year is not more than
! Il, 100000 bales, and the farmers con-

PRESIDENT NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Bryan Lays Money Panic at Door OF
Wall Street.


William Jennings Bryan addressed
the members Of the Jackson club at 9
banquet at Lafayette, Ind. Seven hun
dred plates were provided. In add
ton probably $500 others were pres
ant
Mr.. Bryan said that, after serving In
two campaigns, he did not feel like vol
unteering again, although he would ac-
cept the presidential nomination In
1908 If drafted" He was glad thai
unprecedented discoveries Of gold
had taken the money question out OF
politics.
But want you to know" said he
that our arguments on the money
question, advanced in 1896 have been
indicated, not by the Republican par
ty. but because God Almighty took pity
on the poor people Of the world ano
opened up to them vast storehouses OF
gold"
He severely arraigned the imperial
istic policy" Of the Republican party
and said the experiment had already
cost the people an enormous sum OF
money. He referred to the Philippine
government as a carpet bag" govern
ment held in place by standing army
He contended that the United States
instead of spending hundreds OF mill
lions Of dollars on the Philippines
should spend it in reclaiming arid lands
within its own bounds.
IF you ask me If President Roose-
welt is a Democrat" said Mr.. Bryan, 81
will answer that he Is in spots but the
spots are not big enough, or frequent
enough. When l see him taking planks
out of the Democratic platform. am
glad to indorse him. I have always
been glad to commend him when he
advocates rate regulation and the in
come tax. The only trouble is that he
does not go far enough"
Mr.. Bryan declared that President
Roosevelt should not be held RESPONSE
BILE for the present financial stringen-
cy. Bryan placed the blame on "Wall
street gamblers"

White House with the president and
Secretary Cortelyou. They left tonight
expressing themselves as assured that
the administration would deposit in
southern banks a full proportionate
share of the money realized from the
Panama canal bonds and the 3 per cent
certificates of Indebtedness, and that
the president and the secretary Of the
treasury would do all in their power to
send money into the cotton growing
states for the movement of the crops
placing it in the national banks so that
it will be available for loans to far
mers.

WHILE as The Enquirer sees 1t now
it hopes that It may never have to &c
through another such money campaign
as that which hinged around the free
coinage Of silver question, we want tc
say that we do not like this elastic
currency talk. We do not want any
thing suggestive of cheap money, easy
money, or money of fluctuating value
AS we see it, the principal product OF
the south is a commodity that will al
ways command in exchange the best
money there is, and that is gold. We
believe in the gold basis for morey
and absolutely in the gold standard
There is nothing the matter with the
issuance of paper money by the ma
tional government, and there is moth
ing the matter with the issue Of ma
tional bank notes under government
supervision as now; but we hope thai
the government will never consent tc
delegate to the banks or anybody else
the power to expand and contract the
currency in a way to change the value
Of commodities. The gold basis is the
thing, and until conditions are very
much changed from what they are
now, the gold standard will answer al
reasonable requirements.

some weeks ago, The Enquirer OBJ
served that 1t would be a decent thing
on the part Of Secretary Cortelyou to
deposit some of the government money
in the south. At the time we made the
observation, we had no idea that there
would be any such deposit forthcom-
ing-not in a time like this when 1t is
so very desirable. But in view Of the
announcement of the National-Un
bank in today's Enquirer, it seems that
we owe the distinguished secretary OF
the treasury some apology, and it gives
us much pleasure to make acknowl-
edgment of the fact.

the Panama canal during the fiscal
year 1907, with a showing Of what has
been accomplished since the project has
been in American hands, are disclosed
in the annual report of the Isthmian
canal commission made public last
Tuesday. There is no reference In the
report to the proposition which has
been brought forward to extend the
width Of the locks to 10 feet so as to
accommodate without difficulty the ex-
treme breadth In the development Of
shipbuilding and this will be made the
subject Of a special communication
from the commission. A strong POSI-
ton is taken favorable to continua-
tion Of the policy Of doing the work by
hired instead Of by contract labor.
Sanitation, upon which so much de-
pends for the contract and health Of
the employees. Is treated Of In the re-
port, statement Is made Of what has
been done, and the declaration made
that there was no yellow fever origi-
mating on the isthmus during the year.
New York, November q: Never
since the first ship sailed out Of New
York harbor has there been anything
like the present exodus Of emigrants
from this port. Day by day the crowds
clamoring for transportation abroad
grow greater, with no prospect Of their
reduction in numbers. Last week 30,-
900 steerage passengers were carried
from New York; this week steamship
men say the total will reach $4,000.
The steerage rate was raised from $2f
to $31 in hope Of staying the exodus,
but without avail. Six steamers will
leave today and they will all be crowd
ed with steerage passengers. The
North German Lloyd liner Seydlitz will
carry 1850 and the Majestic, Nieuw
Amsterdam, Calabria, Sannio and Ven
ezia at least 1900 each. Tomorrow the
Moltke will go out with 1000; the Bar
barossa with 1900; the Auguste Vic
toria with 1000 and the Baltic, La
Savoie and the Carpathia will carry all
that the law allows. All day long the
docks in New. York, Brooklyn and
Hoboken are besieged by great crowds
IF emigrants seeking passage to the
old country, and the police are having
their hands full in managing the
crowds.
