COTTON MARKET
 MAKES ADVANCE Opening Is Disappointing But
 Rally Occurs SPOT MARKETS BULLISH Advices From New England Mills Are Conflicting, Which Tends To Keep Prices From Making Fur
 ther Advances.
SPOT MARKETS BULLISH

New York, January S.-The cotton mar ket was quiet but steadier today closing steady at an advance of to 8 points on active months and 19 points net higher on October Sales es- timated 175,Oo0. The market opened steady at a decline of 1 point to an advance of 1 point, which was a disappointing response to better cables than expected, but quickly firmed upon Liverpool buying and local covering. At a net advance of to points there seemed to be some southern selling leading to irregularity during the middle of the day but later the market was firmer again on renewed covering and active months closed at within or points of the top. The fact that New Orleans was closed today may have restricted business and the market appears to have been pretty well evened up, with traders awaiting the census report, expected at the opening tomorrow. Southern wires were generally England advices were conflicting for while 1t is claimed mills are short of raw cotton it is also said that in some cases recent curtailments In production have not been radical enough to prevent an accumulation of goods. Exports today were heavy exceeding port receipts by about 27,000 bales and the large amount reported on shipboard suggests further heavy clearences in the near future. Bom- bay was said to be buying low grade cotton in Liverpool.
 Receipts at the ports 5,469 against 2s 262 last wek and 56.660 last year. For the week S90,O0O against 353,3s1 last week and 327, ,341 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans Il, 1OS against 1S,sOS last year and at Houston 16,s52 against 2O,119 last year.

ENGLISH WoRKMEN ON MARCH
Body Of Unemployed on It's Way from
Nottingham to London on
Foot.

LONDON, Oct. i5.-One OF the results of
the demonstrations by the unemployed in
Great Britain was the issuing Of a writ
today against William James ThoTne, So
cial democratic member of Parliament
from Westham, for melting to a breach
of the peace by making a speech in which
he advised the unemployed to rush" the
bakery shops rather than starve. A body
of the unemployed is marching today from
Nottingham TO London. Serious riots were
avoided in Sheffield yesterday only when
the mayor announced that the sum OF
&JOO,O 900 would be devoted TO relief work.
There have been demonstrations Of the
unemployed also at Sunderland and Maid
stone.
Albert v. Grayson. socialist member from
Yorkshire. tried to raise a debate In the
house this afternoon en- the unemployed
question. The speaker, however, ruled him
out of order. Mr.. Grayson then created
a scene by denouneing the members for
rot succoring the starving thousands on
the streets OF London and denounced the
speaker. The speaker then instructed the
sergeant-at-arms to remove the recalcitrant
socialist. whereupon Mr.. Grsyson with
drew his remarks and said. amid the jeers
OF his colleagues. II leave this house with
the greatest pleasure" 3D.

The record of the republican party the
past four years in the nation and the two
years Of business success under the man
agement of Governor Sheldon in Nebraska,
was presented to the audience in such a
way as to carry conviction. There is no
doubt that the republican ticket will be
given a handsome majority in this county
from president down to minor offices. The
record of the past and the continued pre-
dictions OF Mr.. Bryan were carefully gone
over in a way that appeals to the intelli-
gence Of the voters. This meeting has
done much to create enthusiasm for the
republican ticket and has also put a wet
blanket" so to speak, over the predictions
Of the local managers of the opposition
forces. Republicans newer had a brighter
outlook for success than at this time.

TWO BIDS ON COUNTY BONDS
State and a Chicago Firm Ask fol
Court House Issue.
POLITICAL ASPECT TO SUBJECT
Commissioner Kennard Thinks n
Bryan f. Elected Best Ria would
he Acceptable, ~ Taft
wins, Not.

Only two bids were submitted for the
issue Of court house bonds in the sum
of $1,000, 600, the best bid being for the issue
at par.
The bids were opened by the Board of
County Commissioners Thursday noon and
were referred to the committee Of the
whole for tabulation, in connection with
the county treasurer, comptroller, clerk
and attorney.
The state OF Nebraska bid par for the
bonds, with the privilege Of the county
drawing $4,000 or $4,000. as needed, upon
the giving of sixty days notice. Under
the states bid the county would hold the
bonds and clip its own coupons.
The other bid was submitted by Nc
Donald & Coy company of Chicago. This
bid was for taking of the entire issue at
par, plus the fees Of attorneys employed
to look into the stability Of the trans
action.
The bonds, bearing 4 per cent semi-an-
nual interest, are in denominations of 1000
each, 5000 to be retired in ten years and
the same amount each year thereafter
until the twentieth year, when the bal
ance, $4,000, is to be retired.
Has Political Aspect.
one year ago 1 think we could have re-

for our bonds" said Chairman Kennard.
Il know that the Omaha Board Of Educa-
ton has--Eeceived large bonuses for its
bonds, but its bids were received at more
suspicious times, not just before election.
We can flirt with those bids just as long
as we want to, and II It turns out that Mr..
Bryan is elected It many be advisable to
accept the best of these two bids. If Mr..
Taft is elected l think it would be advisable
to reject them and readvertise for bids
Following the opening Of the bids for the
court house bonds, bids we're opened for
the building of an addition to the deten-
ton home, the construction of a new boiler
house, the building of a hospital and the
repairing of the present building. Four
bids were received and were referred to the
detention homo committee and the comp
troller for tabulation.
The lowest bid was submitted by Robert
Houghton at $1,000, the bidder agreeing to
furnish all material and do all the work
as outlined in the specifications. o. f.
Nelson bid $1,000 for all the work and
furnish all material. william f. Rice sub
mitted W bids, one for g, 456 for the con-
struction of the hospital and the other
