CHAUTAUQUA
WEEK OVER.
LARGE CROWDS WERE IN ATTENDANCE
AT EVERY SESSION.
WAS GOOD FOR OUR CITY
Nearly Every Attraction As Advertised
Some Were Changed, Gould Have
Been Better Say Our People,
Next Years Should Be.

The Chautauqua closed Sun
day night with the usual large
crowd in attendance which
greeted every attraction during
the nine days, While it was not
given in some instances as adver-
tised, for various reasons, vet the
Chautauqua was good as whole
and furnished our people nine
days of pleasant and instructive
past time. Whenever the man
agement found that it could not
fill the program as was advertis-
ed they substituted another at
traction in its stead so that the
people had something to see or
listen TO three times day.
Without going into detail OH
each one OF the numbers, as we
would like to do, suffice it to say
that each one was good and we'll
received by our people generally.
OF course there was disappoint-
ment on the part Of our people
who came from distance to
hear some special one and had to
listen to another. Perhaps the
greatest disappointment was felt
by our Catholic friends who came
from far and near to hear the Rt.
Rev. Mgr. II. Henry Thin and
found that he was unable to be
here.
The management was not to
blame for his not being here nor
the absence of Judge B. Lindsey
who was sick. Arrangements
are being made by the Redpath
people for another week here
next season and they promise to
have daily change OF attrac-
tions and not run them two days
as they did this year.
Mr.. Petit, the superintendent
and manager, did everything in
his power to make the people
comfortable and make their stay
pleasant. In him the Redpath
system have 4 man that is second
to none for the place he fills.
Prof. j. X. Teagarden was
complimented on every hand by
the business men Of our city in
the manner of handling the
financial interests of the Chau-
tauqua, by the great crowds and
the speakers for his courteous
treatment toward all attending.
1t was frequently said that he
seemed especially adapted for
Chautauqua work.
There is no question but what
a Chautauqua is a good thing
for town in more ways than
one and should be encouraged by
all. Yet it seems to u that it
should be entirely under the con-
troll of home people working III
con junction with other towns
that run their own. This could
be done by comforting with the
management in other towns in
regard to the talent they will
have and engage the same. BY
way Of suggestion why not the
Commercial Club or the Civic
Improvement Club take hold OF
the Chautauqua move and
handle it in the future? Think
this matter over.

 Tt follows. therefore, that in the event weekly statistics continue to show heavy exports and heavy spin. ners' takinss, the belief that current consumptio nhas been uned- estimated may spread among the trad- at time when the tendency to reduce crop es. inmates is attracting the attention or consumers. and in such event the farm CT program of resisting price dellines may receive some assistance of conse- quence.

 INLAND WATERWAY.
From Maine to New Orleans is Under
 Consideration.

Apalachicola. Fla, Sept. 19.-(Spe- al)-A great organization advocat- ing the construction of a continuous inland waterway from Maine to Mex leo Is suggested by Hon. Henri l.. Gueydan of Gueydan. La, who Is an officer in the Gulf Coast Inland and Intercoastal Canal Associations.
 In a. letter dated Seut. IS, 1908, ad- dressed to the Secretary of the Gulf Coast Inland Waterway Association at Apalaehicola. Fla. he writes. "I am heartily in favor of your organization, but your association, or our associa- ton, does not include the Intercoastal, from New Orleans to Brownsville, and 1t should. Why not form a big or- ganization to include all waterway associations of the Atlantic and Gulf seaboards? Naturally, New Orleans is the place to hold such convention. Now. this interstate inland waterway is to hold a convention in New Or leans early in December. Could not the Atlantic and Gulf waterways be organized by that timer"
 It is probable that delegates from all the interior coastal waterway as- sociations of the Atlantic and Gulf sea- boads will meet at the convention of the Gulf Coast Inland Waterway .s- sociation in Columbus, Ga, Nov. 9-10, 1908, to discuss the matter and form ulate the plans for such an organiza. ton.

NEW ORLEANS REPORT

New Orleans. La. Sept. 19.-(Special.) In it's summary of the cotton market situation tomorrow's Times-Democrat
 "Further movement delaying and grade dama ginE rains. together with the bullish volume of spinners takings and the comparatively rapid movement of cotton away from the ports im- pelled a small recovery in contract prices at the week end and inspired some additional hope among the sta. ple's real friends
 But the general situation remained unchanged, and the stressing of Lanca- shire's labor troubles exerted all the influence they could be made to exert. Locally the belief was expressed that the strike menace was being worked over time.
 Throughout the Southern States mills were reported still eurtailinR to a slight extent a policy they will prob ably adhere to unti trade conditions improve On the other hand the Mer- rimae Mills at Huntsville. Ala. the largest in the South. 1t was announced will reopen for business tomorrow af- ter having been closed down during several months past.
 "Of course. the most serious ob- stacle now in the day of an advance In raw cotton values is the condition of the dry goods market, but the fact that some leading manufacturers are convinced that the real trouble lies, not In the lack of demand for goods, but in the persistency with which buy.

 CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
 .Chicago, Sept. 19.--The market for wheat rebounded today under the stinn. uius of reported export business and the Russian cholera, closing prices be- ing from 1-2c. to 5-sc. over yester- day. Corn, oats and provision all fin- ished at an advance. The wheat prices
 At the opening the wheat market gave no promise of higher aspiration, prices being off fractionaiiy on the heavy. arrivals in the Northwest and at winnipeg. and the good weather: Later. however. Canada discovered that her climatic conditions were unsettled and Liverpool failed to follow the de- cline on this side yesterday. Traders in conseauenee turned their attention to the export situation and found that 1t was good. It was reported that all offerings from the seaboard. Kansas City and Duluth, aggregatinE 1900. 900 bushels ovef night had been taken abroad. Under this stimulus prices started upwards and passed previous high marks. Added bull fervor came from cholera reports. from Russia.
 It was calculated that Germany and the Mediterranean ports might have to close their wharves to Russian wheat to avoid the epidemic. The Southwest contributed a rIite of bullish news by warning tisc trade that the dry weather would restrict the area of winter wheat seeded this fall. Incidentally it was noted that primary receipts for the week broke all previous records by D. Ao0, 900 bushels, but the bears were un- able to make this factor telling one.
 Primary receipts today were 2.143,- 900 bushels against sS7,000 bushels a year ago. Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 200. .060. .000 bushels. Local receipts were seventy three cars. six of contract grade, while the aggregate car lots received at Chi- cago. Minneapolis and Duluth were l.S43 against 1,125 last week and 526 a year ago.
 Fine weather for the maturing crop and more raiding Of the September de- livery depressed corr prices at the out set, but shorts covered on the wheat bulge and the coarser cereal closed firm with Dcember up 5-sc.
 The cash market was firm. Car lots were in good demand and offerings were moderate. The sample mark ct likewise was firm. Local receipts were 292 cars with s9 of contract grade. The oats market was quiet affair. overshadowed by the corn and wheat pits. Prices worked higher in sym pathy with the other grains, December closing 3-sc up.
 Local receipts were 205 cars.
 The corn strength and support from packers stimulated the provisions mar ket and closing prices were from s to l-zc. to P I-2c. over yesterday.
 Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat 5s cars. corn 321 cars. oats 23i cars. hogs 24.000 head.

 Cotton futures opened steady, unchanged to four points last night, the opening advance being due to threatened labor trou- biea in England. With baliish prospects abundant In this country. the market mafned about stationary throughout the morning. Almost total lack of support and interest appeared to account for the stagnation. Bad weather in the cotton belt and evidences of increased demand for cotton by spinners, stated in Secretary Hester's report last night, kept prices from dropping. The close was steady one to six points over last night.
