 LOSS IN COTTON
BeariSh Influences Get Upper
 Hand In Market
LARGE CROP IS EXPECTED
Reports From the South Indicate I CIT dency to Turn Loose Holdings Which Weakens Prices
 Very Decidedly.

New York, December 10.-The cotton market more than lost yesterdays gain during today's trading, closing barely steady at a net decline of 16 to, 20 points. The market opened barely steady at decline of to points with active months selling to points net lower right after the call in response to dis appointing cables and a growing im- pression that the trade was not credit ing the official estimate of the crop.
 A rally of 3 or 4 points followed the initial break as result of covering and buying for a turn, but offerings be- came heavier again in the afternoon, with stop loss orders uncovered on q scale down, and prices broke to just about the low level of yesterday morn ing in the active months Advices from the south indicating that interior hold CTS were not influenced by the govern ment estimate, but were offering COL ton freely on practically the same basis as yesterday were undoubtedly one of the factors of the decline. The market closed at practically the lowest prices of the day Larger estimates for tomor- rows receipts at leading points were used to emphasize claims that the gov ernment's estimate of the crop was out VI AiAS "tNAi 'tiN iAoNSiiiSil anu pllNcte cables from Liverpool stated that the official figures would have to be con- firmed by future census and into sight figures before they inspired much con- fidence abroad.

BEARS CONTROL TRADING

New York, December 10-The stock mar ket today continued to be largely one of specialties. The Hartman Pacifcs were pushed forward into prominence again, but even these usually influential leaders cid not revive animation in the high grade stocks which in common practice predominate in the dealings. The special strength of the Harrimans was connected with the showing of the annual report or the Union Pacific and it's auxilaries. The report was a sufficiently striking exhibi- ton of the vast and complicated activities of this powerful instrument of finance and industry, and the efficiency with which the instrument had been employed was shown beyond dispute by the figures pre- sented. The general outlines of the con tents, however, had been generally known, and the expectation of its pub lication proved more effective in stimulat- ine speculation than did the realization. This was the more true because anticipa- ton had been whetted by intimations that the report was to contain suggestions on the future policy of the companies.
 The reduction in the holdings for invest ment of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific shares. the conversion of Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul common stock holdings into subscriptions for new stock. and the increase in Illinois Central hold ings were items of special interest in the stock market. The perusal of the an- nual report was of less influence on the mind of the average speculative follower tf the market than was the demonstrative buying of the Hartman and of other stocks by brokers credited with acting for Standard oil interests. The openness with which large orders were executed from these sources was supposed to mean proclamation of confidence in higher prices on the part of the buyers.
 Filling of notice with the interstate com nerce commission of an increase in trans continental freight rates on January l was a helpful factor in shares of rail-

New Orleans, December 10-Spot cotton easy uncnanged; middling, 13-16c; sales on the spot 13M bales; to arrive, 1850.
 Futures opened steady at a decline of , to points owing to the poor response made by Liverpool to the advance on this side yesterday afternoon. At the middle of the morning the market steadied up on buying for outside interests and prices recovered to within to ? points of yes terday's closing Selling pressure was re- newed at this point, the leading bear in- terests evidently planning to dislodge the weaker longs still in the market The market gradually declined during the re- mainder of the session until near the clos ing the active options were practically S1 a bale lower than yesterdays last prices. The close was steady, with prices show ing a net decline of IS to IS points.

CHOULD BE EASY.

Treasurer Sheldon of the Republican
national committee ought to have
coolies of money with which to prose-
cute the Taft campaign. On account
of his trust and other corporation con-
nections he should be able to touch
EN- for almost any amount. Following
! is list of the compan tn which
Sheldon is connected ali ciaI ca
pacity:
He is president and chairman of the
board of the North American company.
Chairman of the executive committee
and treasurer of the Milwaukee EIec-
trio Railway & Light company.
President of the Electric Securities
company.
Treasurer and director of the Detroit
Edison company.
He is a director in the following
concerns:
American Locomotive Automobile
company.
The American Locomotive company.
The Bethlehem Steel corporation.
Cincinnati Northern Railway COM
pany.
Laclede Gaslight company.
Locomotive & Machine company of
Montreal.
Locomotive Security company.
Metropolitan Trust company
National Copper bank.
New Jersey Terminal Dock & I'M
movement companv
Republican Iron & Steel company Of
New Jersey.
Rogers Locomotive works.
st. Louis Transit company.
Union Bag & Paper company of New
Jersey.
Union Electric Light & Power com
pany of St. Louis.
Chairman Mack has made an attack
upon Mr.. Sheldon on account of his
corporation affiliations. and the state
ment comes from New York that Pres
ident Roosevelt sent Secretary Root to
what's doing
The assertion OF Mr.. Mack that Mr.
Odell refused to run for governor if
Sheldon was put on the ticket with
him is perhaps about as tough thing
as can be said about the treasurer of
the Republican national committee.
Odell himself not being considered a
saint even among Republicans.
According to the Associated Press
dispatches, Jim Sherman. "Trusty
Jim,'' severely "rebuked" Mr.. Bryan in
his speech at Rock Island, Ill. When
a man of Sherman's calibre and char
acter can rebuke anybody and make it
stick, honesty and horse sense will
have departed from the United States.

WHO KILLED COCK RoBIN7

The activity of President Roosevelt
in matters political and his determina-
ton to run the Republican campaign
has aIienated hundreds Of thousands
of votes from the Taft standard. BY
attacking Foraker and bringing the
Brownsville incident into the limelight
once more he has aroused the anger
and resentment of the colored man all
over the country. Bishop Alexander
Waters of New York has appealed to
the people of his race to vote for Mr..
Bryan. The appeal was taken up by
Rev Reverdy c. Ransom of the Bethel
A. NJ f. church the other day. and
Mr.. Taft, as we'll as the president
scored numerically. Among other
things uncomplimentary, he said:
Taft is the greatest political Pharisee
in history. He is the same Taft who in
vented the phrase conspiracy of silence"
He cannot clear himself of his RESPONSE
bility I'm the Brownsville affair.
Taft in his speeches has tacitly favored
negro disfranchisement. He has said that
the negro race should not vote solidly.
Bryan has never said that he didn't want
the negro vote The Republicans want it
only until election day.
Inc greatest asset VI the INtDuDucdn
party is the negro vote, and now that they
see it slipping from their grasp they are
trying coercion. know that the Repub-
icans are paying certain people to go
about and influence the prominent bish-
ops and ministers of the negro denomina-
lions, our own included
With the colored voter turned from
Taft by the unwarranted and undigni-
fed action of the president, the Repub-
lican candidate has just cause for
alarm, but disaffection has been caused
in other quarters-Wall street, for in
stance. The feeling in the financial
district is perhaps best expressed in the
following remarks credited to a close
observer of men and things who takes
part daily in the proceedings on
change:
Last summer when Wall street began to
recognize the fact that it must be eiths7
