BAN ON SAL0ME.
PICTURE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The
shock to the modesty of the guard,
ian of Washington's moral was al
most overwhelming when his eye
caught an animated, dazzling and
highly colored poster OF the dance
of Salome, daughter of Herod.
Forthwith he determined that
the capital could not gaze upon
these pictures of the dancer in full
career.
The edict of this moral censor"
who is H. l.. Gessford, inspector
of police, is law, so far as It con
Germs theatrical posters. and SO
the Washington billboards will be
barren of Salome.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-That
William Jennings Bryan will no
longer figure as presidential can
didate is the general belief among
the democratic members of con-
gress who have returned to Wash
ington. They say he has had three
tries at the goal and that should
be enough for any man. They add,
however, that. It was conclusively
proved by the recent elections that
Bryan was not az strong as the
democratic party, although it had
been claimed he was the Karty's
strength before the election.
But while II is not believed Mr..
Bryan will be the candidate for
election four years hence, 1t is. con-
tended he will continue to be a
potent factor in the democratic
party. Just what line his political
activity win take is at present a
matter of conjecture.
Representative Lloyd, chairman
of the democratic congressional
committee, said he felt sure Bryan
would not be the party's candidate
1T the next presidential election.
1t is very early to make any pre-
dictions as to who will figure in
the race of 1914 said Mr.. Lloyd.
There are a number of men whose
names come Immediately to mind
when the candidacy is mentioned.
but l should not say that Bryan
had a chance for the place. One
man whom 1t might be well to keep
on eye on is Marshall, who recently
won his fight in Indiana. | believe,
too, that Governor Johnson OF Min
nesota will make fight for the
nomination.
There is no doubt the demo
cratic party showed itself stronger
at the polls than did Mr.. Bryan,
This is evident from the fact that

Had the democratic national
ticket made as good run as 1t was

my mind but we would have

CHANGE IN STOCK LIST

About so per cent of the mining
companies listed on the local ex-
change have made reports to the
exchange relative to thei financial
and physical condition. The entire
change relative to this matter will
probably be delayed for several
days or until larger percentage
of the companies have been heard

met with public approval and will
have tendency to safeguard the

COTTON MARKET
 BARELY STEADY Opening Is Lower On Reports
 from Liverpool PRIGES RALLY A LITTLE Further Curtailment In Manufactures Is Talked of Abroad and Bears Will Not Believe That Crop
 Is Damaged at All.
PRIUES RALLY A LITTLE

New York, August 22.--The cotton market opened steady at decline of ' to points in response to lower Liy- erpool cables, bad trade accounts from Manchester and continued good weather in the south. After the early decline the market ruled a little steadier, al though the demand seemed to be mostly matter of covering for over the week end and after a rally to with in or points of last nights final, the market was nervous. The market closed bare ly steady with prices 2 net points high CT to points lower.
 The absence of further free liquida- tion disappointed the bear crowd and scalpers supported the market by GOV ering short" lines. The steadiness of the basis was another disappointment to low-price men. Locally the failure of the bull clique to carry it's enter prise to successful issue should dis- courage friends of the staple who are confronted by favorable crop outlook and an unfavorable state of trade.
 Further curtailment in the manufac- ture of cotton goods was talked of abroad, and actual cotton values at Liverpool slumped sharply, but in America the premium at which actual cotton Is held over futures remained the same. During two years now these spot cotton premiums have made life burden to forward selling middle men. These merchants are, of coarse, chafing under the restricted business they are doing, but on the wh ole fancy themselves better off when doing no business at all than when accumulatin2 responsibility on @ basis in keeping with consumers ideas. A day of reck- oning must come in the not distant future. Meantime, a few sections are beginning to report too much rainfall, some grade damage and some delay to new crop movement, while others con- tinue to complain of shedding and in sect damage. But the average bear relying most largely upon poor trade to work things out for him, has ceased to worry over crop accounts, and dis misses crop arguments with an impa- tience born of confidence in the per- manently beneficial effect of recent rains over the drouth affected sections.
 Receipts at the ports today, 6716 bales, against 4035 last wee, and PISA last year. For the week 70,000 bales, against 43,907 last week and 22,361 last year. Today's receipts al New Orleans 360 bales, against 149 last year. and at Houston, 6573 bales, against 2058 last year.

London, August 22.-Considering the holiday season the markets of the stock exchange have been comparatively ac- tive for the past week with a steady undertone.

This improvement was due to investment purchasing which, how ever was more noticeable among for eign rails and foreign bonds.
 Foreign bonds benefited also from increased support from Paris, where money Is abundant. The Kaffirs mar ket developed considerable activity and advancing prices, the big houses, as well as the small local spectators, getting in at the present level in antici- patton of a broadening business at the close of the present account.
 American securities experienced an- other week of see-saw movements The early rise was interrupted by rumors of a reduction in the New York Cen tral dividend, but the crop reports, to- port, particularly of the Pacific issues caused prices to swing upward, mak ing the close on Friday from l to points higher than last Saturday. An exception was New York Central, which closed points lower.
 Copper shares continue to be swayed by Wall street and the rise in the price of the metal. They closed below the best points touched but higher on the week.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, August 22.-Spot cotton was easy and unchanged Middling, 9s4c. Sales were 175 bales on the spot and none to arrive.
 Cotton futures opened steady and to points lower under the influence of Liverpool cables, excepting August, which opened points higher (asked price) than yesterdays close. While Liverpool cables were expected to be poor, they were weaker than anticipated, and a report that continental spinners may curtail their production about one-fourth until No vember had a dssquieting effect. Profit taking and shorts covering served to ad- vance the market slightly during the morning despite the poor foreign outlook. The weather prospects in rne cotton belt were good, especially in Texas, where needed rains were reported. The closing was quiet and steady, points lower to points higher than yesterday.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, August 22-(Special.)-A weak opening followed the adverse re- ports from Europe and advices from New England that one of the largest mills would go upon short time for a fortnight. Then came the usual demand to reduce commitments on Saturday, gradually ad- vancing the market until the decline had been recovered. October was in especial demand against sales of January, result ing in an increase in the premium. On the rally further selling for the late bull account in October caused a small decline from yesterdays close. The market all day was a very small one, with the clos- ing of outstanding interests the principal feature. Local traders are still looking for some upward reaction after the recent sharp decline, though continued showers have destroyed the chance of injury be- ing done during this month from drought.

Manchester Cloth Market.

continuance of the poor demand on the cloth market during the past week, some concessions were made for the small or ders placed. These consisted of light bleaching cloths for India and the usual miscellaneous assortments for South America and the Mediterranean markets. No large contracts have been placed for considerable time past and the violent fluctuations in cotton make buyers more than ever inclined to watch the market.
 Yarns were irregular and a farthing lower. American cops met with a meagre demand, and in spite of the reduced out put the stocks are still increasing.
