New Orleans June 25.-Cotton spots were easy, hc down on all grades. Middling 1lhc. Sales S75 bales on the spot and 50 to arrive.
 Futures opened quiet and steady, with the July option four points up and the other active months unchanged to three points below the close of yesterday Fol- lowing this irregular opening. the weight of the offerings induced by the fine crop weather caused the market to ease off still further
 With the continuance of good weather over the cotton belt and the unbroken se- ries of good accounts of the growing crop received here. the market continues inact- i've with decided downward trend, despite the efforts of the bulls to shove prices mp to higher levels. The local spot market was also easier. with lower prices on all grades. and this served another beartsh factor. At the close. which was quiet, the active months were s@IS points below the close YaterdaY.

 The wheat market was weak all day with the exception of moderate firmness at the start due to an advance at Liver pool The feature of the day was heavy selling of July by several prominent com mission houses and by leading iong. The ideal weather conditions in the winter and spring wheat territories were chiefly re- sponsible for the selling pressure but an extremely slack demand for cash wheat by millers and exporters also inspired consid- rust in Nebraska were received which caus- ed some buying at the start.

The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-09-10

Between Ely district and San Ber-
nardino, Cal, there are millions upon
millions of tons of low grade ores on
dumps and developed in mines which
can be treated here later along at
profit TO both buyer and seller
Tonopah from Ely, all this ore will be
on direct rail route to the great re-
duction works of the Steptoe valley
Smelling e Mining at Shelter. And
it will come from hundreds of desert
camps which are today unable to
handle only their high grade product.
From the profits realized from the
treatment of this ore alone, Nevada
Consolidated and Cumberland Ely,
jointly owning the Steptoe Smelling
& Mining works, will be able to re-
dllZe ulNlutHuS III years W Solhe oii
investments they have made in reduc-
ton plants. The tremendous profits
they have coming up for their stock
holders from mining and treatment
of their own ores will be in large
measure velvet. Never were mining
companies more abundantly blessed
than these with great opportunities
which there does not seem possible
way for failure to realize from.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-09-10

evades the use of the term, but will
not deny that he is opposed to the
protective policy in anything. If he
had the power he would destroy all
protection at stroke and let Amer
lean wages and industries struggle
unaided against foreign competition.
Mr.. Bryan, without qualification,
is for free trade. The Republican
party is absolutely committed 10, and
a firm believer in, the policy of pro-
lection. If Mr.. Taft is elected the
protective policy will be maintained
by the next administration, with such
revision of schedules as it may con-
slider necessary. If Mr.. Bryan is
elected he will at once, assisted by
a Demoeratisc. house, assail protec-
ton all along the line, and work for
a change in the senate until free
trade is agreed to by. that branch
also. Mr.. Bryan simply repeated
himself. with immaterial verbal
changes, in his tariff speech at Dies
Moines. Boiled down, there is moth
ing in it but free trade, and it is well
known that Mr.. Bryan has always
been a radical on this subject. In
telligent voters will govern them
selves accordingly.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-09-10
A VITAL DIFFERENCE.

Democratic papers are multiplying
words over Mr.. Bryan's tariff speech
new and important. As matter of
fact, it is simply a restatement of Mr..
Bryan's views as a free trader. In
just one thing he has been consistent
as a politician. He has been a free
trader always, and is one now. He
