by Special from Memphis, Tenn.
New York, Feb. 1.-THE cotton
market acted reactionary this morn
ing. The opening was from S to
points lower in accordance with ca
bis. A steady tone prevailed in the
first hour and March touched HOG
and May 11.16, but July did not
rally from the opening. The selling
on hedging in July continued. Liv-
erpool was easier ON weakness in
Egyptian cables. Prices ruled quiet
and featureless until reports were
received from National Ginner's as
sociations figures. There was, Of
course, no comparison but the esti-
mate of 10.5S3.000 to January 81
was looked upon as mildly bullish.
These figures would favor the small
crop news. The market advanced
with May at Ills shortly after II
O'Clock. Realizing because OF the
holiday tomorrow brought about
easier prices. The ginning figures
did not stimulate any speculative
Snterst outside OF the professional
clique. We do not look for much
OF market either way, but favor
buying on any declines.

Elegance VS.. Simplicity.


The contrast between the Demo
cratic simplicity with which Mr.. Bryan
has travelled and the elegance of the
Taft accommodations on rail- Is as
marked as the contrast between the
size and enthusiasm of the audiences
which have greeted the Democratic
candidate, and those which Mr. Taft
has addressed While one great New
York newspaper which is supporting
Mr. Taft and which maintains a press
association service has refused to
have correspondent with Mr. Bryan,
ample accommodations are afforded
aboard the Taft special for the special
correspondents of all the large papers.
In addition, for the first time in the
history of any campaign, Mr.. Taft Is
carrying with him three press agents
paid by the national committee for the
Hired Press Agents.
Notwithstanding all this. the reports
rome from all along the line that Mr..
Taft's receptions have been remark
ably chilly, and thai The audience have
been Indifferent 10 his speeches and
involved explanations of his attitude
upon public questions. At George
AIDES Indiana farm a large crowd was
gathered because a harvest festival
had been advertised. The people ex-
pected a free feast from the full
dinner pail" but were disappointed
when they were charged % cents for
dinner while they waited for the APP
pearance of the candidate. When he
did come before them he talked about
a larger navy, stronger army and
coast defences, something in which
they had little interest, while he ig-
pored the live issues of tariff revision,
injunctions, guarantee of bank depos-
its, publicity of campaign funds, and
other questions about which they de-
sired to hear his views. The result
was that Mr.. Taft's speech was re-
ceived with inattention and lack of
anything which approached enthusi-
asm. Impartial newspaper correspon-
dents report that the meeting was
not a success. Mr.. Bryan Is outdraw-
ing Judge Taft by to /.
Senator Crane Trust Ally.
The appearance of Senator w. Muir
ray Crane, of Massachusetts, upon
the Republican scene as chief lad
visor" of Chairman Hitchcock in the
management of Mr.. Taft's campaign,
is regarded as further unmistakable
evidence of the alliance of the Re-
publican party with the trust interests
for the election of Taft. Senator
Crane may not be very well known by
the farmers and laboring men of the
west, but he has very extensive and
intimate acquaintance in Wall street
and with the trust protected interests
of the east He belongs to that little
coterie of men who rule the United
States senate. He is the principal ad
visor of Senator Nelson w. Aldrich. of
Rhode Island, who stands at the head
of the Standard Oil list of senators.
Senator Crane is second in command
The failure of Chairman Hitch
cocks campaign for Taft made it
necessary for the Republicans to form
a closer relationship with the trusts
in order to procure funds with which
to carry on their propaganda. No
man is better suited to do the cement
ing than is Senator Crane. He is a
Republican of high standing and is
trust magnate. His interests lie with
those who are monopolists and with
the trusts

his finger while attempting to stop hot

also in good form.
Owing to tho absence of Mcdonald,
Simon covered the initial sack, while
Montgomery went into center. When
Cantwell retired l.. Smith went to center.
Simon played a fine game at the new po-
sition. while Howard Smith at the short
field had several difficult chances. all of
which he accepted faultlessly. Courtney
