MARKET UNSETTLED.
Pronounced Breaks in Both Cotton

Pronounced Breaks in Both Cotton
 and Corn.
 New York, Sept 16,-Two views as to the stock market outlook were still in evidence to-day. The market gave some signs of the exercise of a benev- olent control, which deterred the pro- fessional bears from attacking prices with the same freedom that they showed towards the latter part of last week. On the other hand when sup port had achieved its purpose of check ing the aggressive operations of the bears there was halting disposition manifest which offered no encourage ment to pursue operations on the long side of the market. These facts serve to explain the fact that the beans, af- ter selling stocks to a lower lever after the opening, turned around and bought again to cover shorts, inducing the brisk rally. After that the market dropped into a condition of apathy and the volume of dealings fell to insig- nificant proportions. News of the day did not supply information of any striking changes in conditions. A some what calmer view was held, especially in the early part of the day of the copper situation, principally on the ground that conditions there might so far peculiar to that trade as to detract from it's significance as a barometer i of more general conditions. The spe- cial feature in the copper situation that commanded most attention was the pressure the producers had been un- der to postpone cut in prices to en- able manufacturers to work off stocks purchased at the higher levels, with contracts for finished products made on that basis.
 The maintenance of this price Ievel is given part responsibility for the di- unfinished demand for products which has paralyzed the copper market and leaves a hope open that the demand will revive when prices are readjusted to the new levle of copper throughout the finished branches of the trade A further reduction in the price ot metal both in London and at the local metal exchange, overthrow most of this better feeling. The United States Steel stocks were under pres. sure again in sympathy with the cop pers, the preferred falling to below 90 Railroad stocks were free from de. pression by comparison with the weakness ins the Industrial list ant showed periods of strength, but the advantage was not with either inAu. ence for any length of time. There were some large dividends in course ot payment and the call money marke was hard in consequence. Incidents O, the day were pronounced breaks ir both cotton and corn, representing the formation of more hopeful opinion: over the size of those crops. Tears O. reduction of dividends by the copper | companies made the subject for large part of the days discussion.

October, orders for copper will un- doubtedly come in in large quantities. Within six months, when monetary con ditions ease, and when money gets cheap again look for an unprecedent- ed rush to buy copper. Telephone, troll ley, and other electrical companies that have to buy in double quantities then and this, together with the orders of new enterprises which are springing up, will make the present price of the metal look absurd.

9s to the steels an interview was had yesterday with ex-Judge Gary, chair mar man of the board of directors of the u. 5, Steel Co.,. the tenor of which was that new orders had fallen off 25 per cent, dueto the inability of railroads to raise funds for new work. The rail roads needed a billion of new capital and couldn't get it, Hence orders were curtailed By and by with large crops to move, the roads will have to add to their rolling stock and other equip pent. and will haveto send in orders for the same.

As to the investment situation Judge Gary said in effect that good railroad stocks were certainly on the bargain ture of the steel and iron trade is that the manufacturers are in perfect ac- cord. Steel people, as a rule, are al- ways ready to get together and discuss new conditions as they arise' Judge Gary added that this being a great and growing country the optimists will win in the long run.

periOr courts of Pennsylvania. Since
his admission as an attorney, he
has been located at Dushore and
has won for himself an enviable
reputation for legal ability, industry
and integrity.
In 1898 Mr.Heess married Eliza
beth Rogers, a daughter Of the late
Jonathan Rogers, of Lintoln Falls,
and they have family of three
children.
Mr.. Heess's legal training and
practice would of itself admirably
fit him for the. responsible duties
of the office, he has the further adj
vantage of having had actual eA
perience in the every day work
of the office, having served as Dep
uty Prothonotary under William
j. Lawrence, Esq, for some time
and having performed the work
with marked skill and ability.
Sullivan County has been fortun
ate in having men of ability in
this office. AS a result, the County
records will compare favOrably
with those OF many larger and
more populous Counties. 1t
can be safely asserted that if Mr.
iIeess is elected, the business of
the office and the public records
will be in safe and competent
| hands.
Mr.. Heess possesses all the traits
of character and every qualific ,tion
necessary to make of him a model
officer. His name is a synonym
for honesty and integrity. His
legal training and practice furnish
him with full knowledge Of the
requirements of the office. His
actual experience in the work of
the office has made him familiar
with every detail and duty that
pertains to it. His knowledge and
skill As a stenographer and type
writer would greatly facilitate
the transaction of public business.
His pleasing manner and accom-
modating disposition would in-
sure to all having business tran
sactions in the office, the most
courteous treatment while his
promptness, industry and business
! like methods would insure that
the work of the office would be
transacted with care and dispatch.
Mr.. Heess is the kind of a
young man that it is IA pleasure
to aid because he is worthy. A
vote for him will never be cause
for regret.

1t is not our purpose to give
any extended biographical sketch
of Albert F. Heess, Esq, the Re
publican nominee for the offices of
Prothonotary, Register, Recorder
and Clerk of the Courts of Sullivan
County. His lifelong Residence in
this County, his prominence as
one of cur brightest and best young
men, together with his extended
acquaintance in all parts of the
County make any lengthy notice
wholly unnecessary. But we
do desire to make brief mention
[of Mr.. Heess's successful career and
ITO add our tribute to his high eharac-
ter and personal worth as a man
and to say something of his peculiar
ability and fitness for the office
of ProthonOtary and Clerk of the
Courts of Sullivan County.
Mr.. Heess was born upon his
fathers farm near Lincoln Falls,
in Elkand Township, nearly thirty
six years ago. He is a son of Theo-
dore G. Heess, who for many years
has enjoyed the reputation of be-
ing not only one of the most sue
cessful farmers of western Sullivan
but one of her most upright and
substantial citizens. Mr.. Heess's fam
ily is of German extraction, having
come to this country from Wurtem-
burg, i'm southern Germany.
Mr.. Heess's early life was spent
upon his fathers farm, where as Il
boy he assisted in the work about
the place. During the winters he
attended school and early manifest
ed his aptness as a student. When
about eighteen years of age, having
finished the course prescribed for
the schools of his township, he
entered Westtown Academy, one
of the leading Friends schools of
Pennsylvania. Upon the completion
of his studies in this school, he
took up the work of teaching and
for Il number of years taught with
marked success in the schools of
Of this County. Having decided
to engage in the practice of
the law, he entered, the Columbian
Law School, at Washington, ID. c..
and in 1902 he was graduated from
this Institution. AT september term

~
The. certiaEste published in the
Gazette a1sl Herald hast week, .gela-'
tive to the private character Of James
II. GanseI, was obtained from US BY
his assurance chat 1t was not for pol
itical purposes.
As-an effort is now being made to
make political capital out of this let
ter, we desire to publicly state that
we signed the same merely as a
Ineighborly act, with the understand
ing and belief from Mr.. Gansel's
representations, that it was nothing
more than the ordinary business tes-
.timonial and not for use as political
document. Had we known that
political nse Of the paper was con
templated, we should promptly have
declined to sign it. We further state
that the paper was signed with
out special consideration of its con-
tents, without any political motives
whatever and we expressly. desire
that no political significance be Civ
en- the matter. One objection to this
preversion OF its use;ist that it might
tend to create the impression that
we are supporting Mr.. Gansel for
Sheriff, which is not fact.
L We further desire to say, in order
that our attitude OH the election of
sheriff this fall may not be misun-
derstood, by reason of the aforesaid
publication. that we are all favorable
to the election Of Mr.. Judson Brown
of Fox township, and we are giving
him our hearty support, knowing
him to be worthy, capable and hon-
est. This letter is given for. publi-
cation. s s
