 The New York correspondent of local bdyer wrote:
 During the new bull movement. quite a heavy long speculative interest has accu- muiated in the market. and this must needs add to the technical weakness thereof. Southern reports are extremely mixed, but the talk of great deal of cotton still to come forward Is another retarding feature for the present. The publication of the National Ginners Association helped to mix opinions in the minds of the public, but this feature we hope. will be eradicated with the publication of the estimate of the gov ernment which is expected on Friday morn- ing. March 18th. These figures, we believe, win be good indication as to the final outcome of the 1907-0s crop"

NAVAL STORES REVIEW.

Savannah, March 11.--(Special.)--Thou spirits of turpentine from the openings lost Wednesday to the opening of Tuesday show ed net loss Of Ac per gallon conditions during Tuesday were distinctly favorable opening on Wednesday. March {, was steady at 49c. The market eased off to 4Sc during the week but toward the latter part slight stiffening was noticeable and quotations gradually worked back toward 49c. At the opening yesterday the market was quot ed firm at ashe TlthoT, sales at that to cover the available supplies. The close for the week was firm at 4sc per gallon. The relative value for the entire week was a practical stand-off.
 The receipts of naval stores at Savannah fin the seven days just ended were fully as light as had been anticipated. Season end Is now in sight and the daily arrivals at the port only represent the last of the scrapings. Conditions for this reason were owing to the indifference of the exporting element during the first part of the week the market took rather an unfavorable trend. It was believed. however. that better prices would obtain before the wind up of the naval stores year.
 Rosins were In fairly good demand. The receipts were light but for the moment at least there appeared no pressing requirer ments to be filled. As will be seen prices are a shade better than those of last week yesterday the following were the quota tions: Water white ss s.10; window glass ;a 'S s6 ,ss6Ss5 'I sS sS s3. 50: D ss.47A; cBA S3. 35 @4o.

terest fighting that ever took place in q com.
mittee meeting marked the session at the viii.
son hotel Yesterday afternoon and last evening
by John Critchow and his selected band Of in
surgeuts Of fifteen. The net results OF the
meeting are:
An overwhelming reverse for the federal
bunches's supporters on the committee.
The demand that candidate for senator be
named at the state convention.
demand that the delegates to the nation
al convention be selected from the rank and
hle OF the party, and not necessarily including
the representation, individually or collectively,
which Utah has in congress at this time
A service OF notice, in brief, that apostles
must keep out OF politics.

ton did his duty rs secretary. The Smoot
forces were led by Lerov Armstrong. His
chief Supporter on the vital question at issue
was Mayor Robinson of Logan, with Jesse
Smith said TO have been on the fence. The
question was the nomination OF senator In con.

put over the questions brought up, but at every

The much-heralded meeting OF "insurgent"
republicans was held at Salt Lake city Satur.
day. The meeting was called for the purpose
of discussing dispassionately 1.-THE good of the
party''-at least this was the reputed purpose
They discussed all right but not dspassion-
ateiy, and it is extremely doubtful whether
"the good of the party" entered very far into
the deliberations The result of the meeting
was the passage of the following resolution:
That subcommittee OF seven be selected
by the chairman to,request the state republican
committee In issuing its call for convention
TO choose delegates 10 the national republican
convention TO be held in Chicago to make its
call broad enough TO permit OF the consdera-
tion and discussion of any question or issue
which is now confronting the republican party
Of the state OF Utah, and that the said sub
committee report back TO this committee with.
in ten days.
AS to the real significance of the meeting
there is a difference Of opinion among the Salt
Lake papers, so we present here curtaled re-
views from EACH as follows

cago, will crystalize. The call for the meeting
yesterday brought together some OF the most
active politicians from various parts OF the
state. e. w. Robinson represented Logan,
David Mattson appeared on behalf Of Ogden
republicans, Alma Eldredge Of Coalvile was
present, and Willis johnson came up from the
south. Other parts OF the state we're repre-
sented, either 10 person or by proxy, and Salt
Lake county had full representation at the
meeting. The discussion was general, and the
demand that all factions Of the party have a
voice In the discussion and proceedings Of the
delegate convention In April was practically
unanimous.
At the close Of the meeting, Chairman
Critchlow announced a subcommittee, to act
with himself In the work OF calling upon the
state committee. This committee will report
back to the committee OF fifteen within ten
days on the result OF its negotiations with the
state committee. Chairman CritchOw will an
nounce the date Of the next meeting OF the
committee OF fifteen and 1t is expected that
within few days call will be sent out for a
meeting OF the state committee.

SUBSCRIBERS MUST PAY.

According to recent ruling Of the govern.
ment postal department sem.weekly news
papers will be denied mail privileges unless
they can on demand after April /, 1908, show
list Of practically paidup subscriptions
Though other papers have been red.hot after
their subscribers during the past two months
THE REPUBLICAN has taken no action, think.
ang it possible to take our time about that
which we consider to be largely our own bust.
ness. However, a notice from the department
inviting US to show our good intention or pre-.
pare to get along without certain mail privi-
leges leads US to believe that discretion is truly
the better part of vaor, so we bow to the die
tum of the big stick at Washington and insist
that our subscribers pay up AT ONCE all &C
counts Of longer standing than nine months,
the credit the department says is permissible.
This move Is not Of our own making, IS
made with bad grace on our part, and only on
specific demand OF the government postal de.
partment. Wetrust that our subscribers sense
our situation in this matter aud will not view
our insistence as a reflection or doubt of the
subscriber We are not carrying on our books
halfdozen accounts Of which we have single
doubt, and personally are content to wait upon
the convenience OF the subscriber, but the
government says "show US paid up list or be
denied mail privilege'-SO WE NOW SAY
PAY UP. This means YOU and YOU, and
YOU, not merely the other fellow.
Yon know II II you owe more than nine
months; II the amount is more than that
come In or write and settle by check, cash, or
note This means business and we propose to
settle these accounts II we lose every subscriber
we have;-it means that anyway II the accounts
are not settled, for the postoffice will not allow
US mail privileges on the papers that are not
paid for.
Please do not make this collection unneces-
sarily hard for Us; certainly at no time have we
ever been hard on subscriber. If you havn't
the cash right now come in and sign note and
1t will be entirely satisfactory. Do 1t before
April l. DO 1T NOW.
